Growing businesses need strategic IT and cybersecurity leadership but can’t justify the £80k+ cost of fulltime C-level executives. Without senior expertise, companies make costly technology decisions, struggle with compliance, and lack the strategic vision needed for sustainable growth. Our Fractional CIO and CISO services provide access to experienced executives who deliver strategic leadership and governance without the full time commitment.

What are Fractional CIO and CISO roles?

Fractional CIO (IT Director): Part-time Chief Information Officer who provides strategic IT leadership without the full-time cost. They develop your technology strategy, oversee IT projects, and ensure your systems support business growth.

Fractional CISO: Part-time Chief Information Security Officer who manages your cybersecurity strategy, ensures compliance, and provides executive-level security leadership to protect your business from cyber threats.

Most SMBs can't justify hiring full-time C level executives but still need strategic IT and security leadership. Our fractional roles give you access to senior expertise for strategic planning, compliance requirements, board reporting, and major technology decisions without the £80k+ annual salary commitment.

Fractional CIO: IT strategy development, technology roadmaps, vendor management, digital transformation planning, IT budget oversight, and board-level reporting on technology initiatives. Fractional CISO: Cybersecurity strategy, risk assessments, compliance management, incident response planning, security awareness programmes, and executive security reporting for boards and stakeholders.

Typically 1-2 days per month depending on your business needs and current projects. This includes strategic planning sessions, regular reviews, board meetings, and ongoing advisory support. We align our involvement with ITIL and NIST frameworks to ensure structured, professional service delivery.

Our fractional executives work alongside your existing IT staff or external IT providers, providing strategic direction whilst they handle day-to-day operations. We conduct 360-degree feedback sessions to understand your current setup and develop technology plans that enhance your team's effectiveness rather than replacing them.
