Chief Information
Security Officer.
Cybersecurity incidents are not a matter of if — they are a matter of when and how prepared you are. IBEAN's Fractional CISO service embeds senior security leadership into your organisation — programme governance, compliance, risk management, and board reporting — at the fraction of the full-time cost.
Security Leadership That Governs and Protects.
Security Programme Governance
Own and govern the organisation's security programme — policy framework, control implementation, exception management, and continuous improvement governance across all technology and business functions.
Risk Assessment & Management
Maintain the organisation's risk register, conduct periodic risk assessments, report risk posture to the board and audit committee, and govern the risk treatment programme.
Compliance Management
Own compliance against applicable security frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, DPDP Act, RBI Cybersecurity Framework. Manage certification engagements, audits, and ongoing compliance monitoring.
Incident Response Leadership
Design, test, and govern the incident response programme. Lead the organisation's response to security incidents — from initial containment through root cause analysis, stakeholder communication, and regulatory notification.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk
Govern the vendor risk management programme — security questionnaires, contract security requirements, ongoing monitoring, and critical supplier risk treatment plans.
Security Architecture Review
Review and govern security architecture decisions — zero-trust design, cloud security posture, identity and access management, data protection controls, and security monitoring architecture.
Board & Leadership Security Reporting
Prepare and deliver board-level security reports — risk posture summaries, incident reports, compliance status, and investment justification for security programme improvements.
Security Awareness Programme
Design and govern the security awareness programme — phishing simulation, training curriculum, policy acknowledgement tracking, and culture measurement. Human factors account for 74% of breaches.
