Fractional CISO Services
Securing Your Digital World
At 365 IT Support, we recognize the critical importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape. That’s why we offer comprehensive Fractional CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) services designed to protect businesses of all sizes from cyber threats, ensure compliance with industry regulations, and safeguard your digital assets.
What is a Fractional CISO?
A Fractional CISO is a seasoned cybersecurity expert providing part-time or on-demand leadership to enhance your organization’s security posture. This flexible arrangement offers strategic direction, oversees security operations, and ensures compliance, all tailored to fit your needs and budget.
Why Invest in a Fractional CISO?
Cyber threats are escalating in frequency and severity, posing real risks to businesses. Data breaches and cyber attacks can lead to significant financial losses, damage to reputation, and severe penalties for non-compliance with laws like GDPR or HIPAA. Investing in a Fractional CISO helps mitigate these risks by leveraging top-tier expertise to fortify your cybersecurity defenses without the cost of a full-time executive.
Creating a Robust Security Posture.
A security posture is the overall security status of your software, networks, services, and information. It encompasses the policies, controls, and measures put in place to protect against threats and vulnerabilities. Creating an effective security posture involves a comprehensive assessment of your current security environment, followed by the development of strategic security policies tailored to your specific risks and needs. By establishing a strong security posture, organizations can proactively manage their security landscape, respond more effectively to incidents, and align security protocols with their business objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we retain our current MSP/Staff?
Absolutely. Our services are designed to complement and enhance your existing IT setup, not replace it

No worries. We offer a full suite of security professionals and managed cyber services to meet your needs.
Is our business too small for this service?
No business is too small for robust IT security oversight. Our flexible and scalable solutions are crafted to fit your specific needs.
CISO vs. Tech Professional: What’s the difference?
Unlike basic security support, a CISO provides strategic guidance tailored to your long-term business goals, focusing on comprehensive security management and compliance.
What are the benefits of a Fractional CISO?
A CISO designs and implements your security posture. A strong security posture serves as a valuable tool for attracting customers and maintaining their trust. In today’s digital landscape, customers expect their data to be handled securely, and a robust security framework can set your company apart from competitors.
What are the costs associated with not having a CISO
Without a dedicated CISO, your company is at risk of incurring fines, data breaches, and loss of clients due to compromised security. For example, GDPR violations can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. Similarly, HIPAA violations can lead to penalties ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with a maximum annual penalty of $1.5 million for repeat violations.
