Fractional CISO / vCISO
Senior security leadership. Without a full-time appointment.
When security responsibilities outgrow your leadership capacity, bring in experienced support to establish direction, ownership and priorities. Work with a senior adviser through an agreed remit and a consistent relationship.
A fractional or virtual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) provides senior security leadership through an agreed part-time engagement. Fortuna Systems supports organisations across the UK, continental Europe and Scandinavia.
When this support helps
Your CTO or leadership team is carrying security responsibilities alongside other priorities; customer or board expectations are increasing; or security decisions lack clear ownership. You need experienced leadership, without a permanent full-time appointment.
What you receive
Deliverables are agreed to match your priorities and can include:
- A prioritised security roadmap with agreed owners.
- A governance calendar and record of key decisions.
- Executive risk and progress reporting.
- An action tracker covering assurance and improvement work.
How engagements work
Support can be structured around an agreed monthly commitment, covering governance meetings, reporting and security-roadmap oversight. Time allocation, availability and response expectations are agreed in advance. A fixed-scope diagnostic can establish priorities before ongoing support begins.
Scope and responsibilities
Fortuna Systems provides the agreed security leadership and oversight. Your management retains business decisions and risk acceptance; operational delivery remains with your teams and providers.
Unlimited availability, managed SOC operations and default 24/7 incident response are excluded. Scope, deliverables and responsibilities are agreed before the engagement begins.
