Book a free sessionA Fractional CISO (chief information security officer) is a part-time security leader. The work typically covers cybersecurity roadmaps and assessments, security consulting including Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), security program development and compliance, and administration of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software.
A Fractional CIO owns the overall technology plan: systems, vendors, projects and continuity. A Fractional CISO focuses on security: risk, policies, compliance and the security roadmap. Many small and mid-sized businesses start with one and add the other as needs grow.
Yes. CMMC consulting is part of Fractional CISO work. For defense contractors who want a structured starting point, the Balancelogic CMMC Readiness Review runs in three phases. Each phase has a fixed scope and clear deliverables, so you can start with Phase 1 and decide on the next step with real information. Certification assessments are conducted by an authorized third party, such as a C3PAO. The Balancelogic CMMC Readiness Review prepares you for it. A C3PAO is a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization.
In a Fractional CISO engagement, day-to-day security monitoring stays with your managed service or security provider. The Fractional CISO sets the priorities and tracks progress against the plan. Balancelogic partners with our sister company ITAssurance℠ when ongoing managed IT, cybersecurity, and operational support are needed.
Close the loop on your security.
