vCISO

Fractional / Virtual CISO

An experienced CISO embedded in your leadership team — owning strategy, accountability, and day-to-day execution of your entire GRC function.

A full-time CISO is a $250K+ hire with a long ramp. Most companies between seed and Series B need the function long before they can justify the role. We embed as your CISO so the function exists from day one — owning the strategy, communicating with the board, fielding customer security questions, and running the program week to week.

We’re operators. We don’t deliver a deck and a roadmap and disappear; we work the roadmap.

vCISO — common questions

What is a fractional or virtual CISO?
A fractional CISO is an experienced security executive embedded in your leadership team on a part-time, ongoing basis. They own the security strategy and run the program, but at a fraction of the cost and time-to-value of a full-time hire.
How does ComplianceOps’ vCISO model differ from advisory firms?
Advisory firms deliver recommendations. We operate the function: the named CISO sits in your leadership meetings, signs auditor letters, fields customer security reviews, and runs the program week to week.
Can the vCISO transition to a full-time hire later?
Yes. The program, documentation, and platform we build are durable and operable by your own team. Many engagements bridge from fractional today to a full-time hire as the company scales.
