What Is a Fractional CISO?
A Fractional Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is an experienced cybersecurity leader who partners with your business part-time or on a project basis. With Steadfast Partners, your Fractional CISO serves as an embedded member of your team—guiding critical security decisions, overseeing risk management, and helping your company achieve compliance and growth.
You get the insights and experience of a full-time CISO, scaled to your budget, timeline, and security maturity.
