As businesses increasingly rely on technology, the need for strong cyber security leadership has never been greater. Many organizations struggle to keep up with evolving threats but lack the resources to hire a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Traditionally, CISOs are senior executives responsible for planning, developing, and implementing an organization’s information security programs to protect critical assets, systems, and technology. However, hiring a full-time CISO can be expensive, with expected salaries in Canada reaching around $152,558 per year in 2025.
This is where Ridegell Consulting’s Fractional CISO service comes in. Our fractional CISO solution provides small to medium-sized organizations with senior-level cyber security leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. Fractional CISOs deliver on-demand guidance, insight, and strategy to protect your confidential information, applications, and systems. By working remotely, we provide a flexible, reliable, and cost-effective way to gain expert security leadership while minimizing overhead costs.
