Fractional CISO
Security leadership without the full-time hire — a CISO-level perspective on retainer, built on three decades of identity, security, and compliance work.
A security leader, sized to your need
A full-time CISO is a six-figure hire most growing organizations can't justify — yet the risk, the compliance pressure, and the questions from customers and boards are all very real. A fractional CISO gives you that senior security judgment and ownership on a defined, affordable basis: someone who owns the security picture, sets the direction, and makes sure it actually gets done.
What a Fractional CISO does for you
Security Strategy & Roadmap
A prioritized, plain-English security roadmap tied to your real risks and business goals — not a generic checklist.
Identity & Access Governance
Ownership of identity, SSO, MFA, conditional access, and privileged access management (PAM) — the foundation of modern security.
Compliance Oversight
Direction and accountability for CMMC, SEC Reg S-P, HIPAA, or SOC 2 — mapped to your environment and kept audit-ready.
Incident Readiness
Response plans, tabletop exercises, and a steady hand to call when something goes wrong.
Vendor & Risk Reviews
Third-party risk assessments and security reviews so the tools and partners you rely on don't become your weak point.
Board & Executive Reporting
Clear security reporting your leadership, customers, and auditors can trust — translated out of jargon.
When a fractional CISO makes sense
Regulated & growing
You face CMMC, SEC, HIPAA, or customer security requirements but don't have a dedicated security leader.
Pre-audit or pre-deal
An audit, a security questionnaire, or due diligence is coming and you need it handled right.
Post-incident
Something happened, and you want senior ownership so it doesn't happen again.
Outgrown "whoever set it up"
Your security was assembled ad hoc and you need someone to own the whole picture.
Security leadership with real depth
This isn't a checklist service. It's led by Kris Becan — 30 years in IT, security and penetration testing dating back to 2000, deep identity and access management expertise, authored enterprise security policy programs, and currently a Principal IAM Engineer for one of the largest state-government environments in the country. You get that caliber of security leadership a few days a month, not a five-day-a-week salary.

A short conversation is the best way to see if a fractional CISO is the right fit.
