An increasing number of businesses are opting to hire an interim CISO to not only keep the business steered in the right direction and ensure business as usual, this is also an opportunity to perform a rapid benchmarking against internal and external mandates.
So by the time a permanent replacement is selected, any necessary course corrections have been identified by an independent and an experienced CISO. Even if the identified corrections are not fully implemented, this sets the stage for the next CISO to succeed in his/her role.

We have served as interim and/or fractional CISO for many client organizations. This stands true for various other leadership roles that take a significant time to fill, while the business takes a hit with no one at the helm. Our CISO-on-demand can not only keep the business steered in the right direction, he/she can also embark on a rapid transformation to ensure that by the time a permanent replacement is hired, any necessary program course correction has at least been identified, even if not fully implemented. Graceful handoff of CISO duties to the newly hired replacement ensures complete knowledge transfer, and sharing of lessons learned, allowing the new CISO to start achieving success in a relatively shorter timeframe.
