Questions leaders ask
Frequently asked questions.
How fractional is the role?
The cadence is shaped around the environment and can expand during audits, incidents, or major program work.
Can you help hire a future full-time CISO?
Yes. COSII can define the role, mature the program, and support a deliberate transition.
