Fractional CISO Canada
Canadian security leadership for startups, scaleups, and enterprise teams that need CISO-level guidance before they are ready to hire a full-time executive.
What a Fractional CISO Helps With
- Translate customer and investor security asks into a realistic roadmap
- Prepare SOC 2 readiness work without blurring audit independence
- Review architecture, policies, evidence, vendors, and risk decisions
- Create board-ready security reporting that executives can actually use
- Mentor internal owners so security capability grows inside the company
Security Leadership Without the Full-Time Executive Hire.
GreenHat provides fractional CISO support for Canadian organizations that need practical security leadership, not generic advisory decks. The engagement can cover strategy, security program design, SOC 2 readiness, vendor diligence, board reporting, incident planning, and team mentorship.
The model is built for companies that have real customer, investor, audit, or regulatory pressure but do not yet have enough work for a permanent CISO. GreenHat works with founders, executives, product leaders, engineering teams, and finance stakeholders to make security decisions visible and accountable.
Advisory and assurance remain separated. GreenHat Security can help prepare the program and evidence story, while independent SOC 2 audit work belongs with GreenHat Assurance or another properly separated auditor.
For Canadian startups
Seed through Series B teams often need SOC 2 readiness, vendor questionnaire support, secure development habits, and investor-facing security narratives before they can justify a dedicated CISO hire.
For scaling companies
As customers get larger, security questions become more detailed. GreenHat helps turn ad hoc answers into repeatable controls, evidence, ownership, and reporting routines.
For enterprise teams
Established organizations can use fractional support for interim CISO coverage, team mentorship, third-party risk programs, architecture review, and executive reporting during periods of change.
For audit readiness
Readiness work focuses on scope, controls, evidence, operating cadence, and remediation planning. Audit execution stays independent so the assurance boundary remains clear.
