FCSO
Executive security ownership, assigned.
The Fractional Chief Security Officer engagement assigns named authority over security posture, escalation decisions, and incident response—without requiring the client to build or staff a permanent internal function.
This engagement is used when risk spans physical, digital, legal, and reputational domains and leadership requires a single accountable operator.
Mandate
- Set and maintain organizational risk posture.
- Own escalation thresholds and approval authority.
- Coordinate intelligence, security, legal, and communications inputs.
- Serve as executive interface during incidents and high-risk activity.
Common Triggers
- Rapid organizational growth without security leadership.
- Board concern over fragmented security decision-making.
- Persistent executive or organizational targeting.
- Repeated incidents without systemic correction.
We do not deliver isolated fixes. When we engage, we address the immediate exposure and then re-establish the system—decision paths, controls, and ownership—so the failure does not repeat under a different name. Crisis Response
