Senior cyber leadership and oversight that keeps risk under control, without the overhead of a full-time hire

We provide end-to-end compliance services, from assessing regulatory obligations and building security frameworks to preparing organisations for audits and ensuring continuous compliance through automation and monitoring. Our risk-driven approach ensures compliance efforts are prioritised based on business impact rather than reactive regulatory responses.

Many organisations do not need a full-time CISO. They do, however, need someone senior who can set direction, keep risk visible, make sensible trade-offs, and ensure security work actually gets done.

Ongoing Cyber Governance & Risk Oversight is fractional cyber leadership designed for organisations operating under scrutiny: regulated and high-trust environments, SaaS firms selling into enterprise customers, and businesses whose boards, customers, insurers, auditors, or partners expect evidence. We provide steady, pragmatic oversight that translates cyber risk into business priorities, maintains an operating rhythm, and makes progress measurable.

Fractional Security Leadersip - Typical Use Cases

🔹You are growing quickly and security has become a board topic, but a full-time CISO is premature.
🔹You have security tools and activity, but limited prioritisation, ownership, and follow-through.
🔹Customer and partner scrutiny is increasing (due diligence, assurance questionnaires, contract clauses).
🔹You need resilience and incident readiness that is operational, rehearsed, and evidence-based.
🔹Third-party reliance (MSPs, cloud, critical SaaS, AI providers) is rising and governance is inconsistent.
🔹You are working toward formal assurance (Cyber Essentials/Plus, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and need leadership to drive it end-to-end.

What you get from fractional leadership

This is not “advice by the hour”. It is a working governance model and senior accountability.

Clear priorities and a risk narrative leadership can use
We establish a practical view of what matters: your critical services, your risk drivers, and the few control outcomes that materially reduce exposure. We keep the narrative consistent so stakeholders stop receiving mixed messages.

A governance rhythm that drives execution
We put in place a cadence that keeps momentum:

🔹A simple risk and control backlog;
🔹Clear owners and deadlines;
🔹Regular review of progress and blockers;
🔹Decision-making support when trade-offs are required.

Evidence that stands up to scrutiny
Where customers, auditors, regulators, or insurers ask for evidence, we help you build and maintain evidence that is current and credible.

Scope areas we commonly run under this service

The exact scope depends on your environment and maturity, but fractional leadership typically covers:

🔹Governance and risk management
Risk register and prioritisation, security steering, policy set rationalisation, and board reporting that is meaningful rather than performative.

🔹Security operations and incident readiness
Detection posture, logging visibility, response roles, decision rights, and incident exercises that reflect your real dependencies.

🔹Resilience and recoverability
Restore capability, recovery time expectations for critical services, and ongoing testing discipline.

🔹Third-party and supplier assurance
Supplier tiering, critical supplier reviews, evidence expectations, contract/security schedule input, and concentration/dependency risk tracking.

🔹AI and data risk controls
Pragmatic governance for AI usage, data handling guardrails, and ensuring adoption does not create uncontrolled egress or shadow processes.
‍
🔹Formal assurance programmes (when required)
If you need certification or structured compliance, we provide leadership to drive readiness and keep it on track: Cyber Essentials / Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 readiness, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2.

How we work (a simple operating model)

We keep it as practical and efficient, as it is possible.

🔹Establish the baseline and priorities (first 2–4 weeks)
We confirm your critical services and risk drivers, assess current controls at a high level, and agree the initial priorities and governance cadence.

🔹Run the operating rhythm (ongoing)
We provide a steady cadence of sessions and touchpoints to keep work moving. Typical rhythm includes weekly or fortnightly working session with the delivery teams, monthly leadership reviews, quarterly board-level pack (where needed).

🔹Drive outcomes, not activity
We measure progress by outcomes: reduced risk exposure, improved recoverability evidence, closed high-risk gaps, improved supplier assurance, fewer unknowns.

What you can expect to see within 30–60 days

Most organisations notice early impact quickly because the work brings structure and decisions to the surface.Within the first 30–60 days you typically have:
‍
🔹A clear, prioritised security backlog with owners and deadlines;
🔹A well-defined security strategy, GRC approach and vision;
🔹A coherent risk narrative for leadership and external scrutiny;
🔹Tightened governance around identity and privileged access;
🔹An actionable resilience and recoverability plan (with testing scheduled);
🔹A structured approach to supplier risk for critical dependencies.
