CISO as a Service

Security leadership should not wait for a hire

A CISO leaves, a regulator asks who is accountable, a transformation needs a steady hand, and recruitment takes months. You can have experienced leadership in place now, and keep it only as long as you need it.

The pool

8+ CISSP certified practitioners whose backgrounds deliberately do not overlap

Government to industry banking, defence, telecoms and energy. One has sat where you sit

Now, not in six months leadership in place while you recruit, or for as long as the mandate runs

What you get

A practitioner, not a slide deck

An accountable security leader who can read your risk, speak to your board and hold a regulator's questions, backed by the full CCI pool when a problem needs a second specialist. They work to your quantified picture: where CySSURANCE measures the estate, your CISO decides what to do about it. No two of our practitioners carry the same scar tissue, so the one assigned to you is chosen for the sector and the problem in front of you.

How it runs

Transition

Cover the gap between an outgoing and an incoming CISO so nothing accountable is left unowned.

Fractional

Part-time leadership for organisations that need the seniority but not yet the full-time seat.

Interim

A full mandate for a fixed term: restructuring, post-incident, or through a transformation.

On call

Board-ready answers and escalation when your team needs a senior voice for a single hard question.

Fit, not theatre

We decline mandates we cannot serve well, and we do not audit where we lead, so independence is kept by design. The aim is to leave your own team stronger, with decisions documented and a posture you can defend after we step back.
