About Us

The Fractional CISO team helps business leaders manage risk and grow their companies by providing tailored cybersecurity programs.

||| The Founder - Rob Black, CISSP |||

Fractional CISO was founded by Rob Black, who was working at SaaS and IoT comopanies before the terms became common knowledge. While his title was usually some combination of the words ''Senior Director Product Platform Manager,'' he was always responsible for the cybersecurity program too.

After seeing that every company had a need for cybersecurity leadership, Rob figured ''Why don't I do this for EVERY midsize company? They all need this!''

In June 2017, Rob pulled the trigger. He quit his job and Fractional CISO was born. Two months later, Fractional CISO had a few clients and was on its way to helping many more.

||| What does Fractional CISO do? |||

Fractional CISO provides tailored cybersecurity programs and leads cybersecurity compliance efforts.

Many midsize companies begin to hit a sales plateau when they struggle signing large prospects. Large clients have large cybersecurity demands, and will require their vendors have attestations or accreditations in place - or at least have a plan to get them - before signing the dotted line.

We assess your organization, craft a plan tailored specifically to your organization's neeeds, and help you execute it to meet your compliance and risk tolerance goals. Plus, we've helped many organizations earn their AICPA SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and many other cybersecurity compliance certifications.

Highlights

  • Fractional CISO is a Virtual CISO cybersecurity company
  • We help business leaders manage risk and grow their companies by providing tailored cybersecurity programs
  • We create and run cyber programs and lead cybersecurity compliance efforts
  • We publish a monthly newsletter with free and actionable cybersecurity advice for business leaders
  • Fractional CISO's blog is updated weekly and also full of free cybersecurity wisdom
