CISO
Chief Information Security Officer
The executive responsible for an organization's information security strategy, risk management, and incident response. A full-time CISO at a mid-market company costs $250K-$450K+ in total compensation. Fractional or virtual CISO (vCISO) arrangements provide the same strategic oversight on a retainer basis at a fraction of the cost — typically $10K-$25K per month.
