Senior Risk Leadership, Without the Full-Time Cost
A vCISO, vAIRO, or vDPO on your org chart this week — not a six-month executive search. Board-ready security, AI, and privacy leadership from operators who've carried the accountability before.
The Role You Need Is the One You Can't Fill Fast
A board wants risk oversight. A regulator expects a named, accountable owner. An AI deployment needs governance before it ships. But a full-time CISO is a six-figure, six-month hire — and the need is now, not next quarter. So the accountability sits with someone already stretched thin, or with no one at all.
You don't need a headcount. You need senior judgment, on the org chart, this week — with the credibility a board and regulator recognize.
Executive Ownership, on Your Terms
A vCISO Who Owns the Program
Not an advisor who reports — a leader who runs your security program, sets strategy, and carries the accountability with your team.
A vAIRO for AI & Model Risk
Purpose-built AI risk leadership: governance, oversight, and the named accountable ownership that OSFI E-23 requires for model risk — the role an examiner expects to find, filled by someone who's held it.
A vDPO for Privacy & Data
Named privacy leadership for PHIPA, PIPEDA, GDPR, and beyond — the accountable role regulators look for, filled by someone who's held it.
Board-Ready, Not Jargon-Heavy
Risk translated into a dollar figure and a decision — so your leadership knows exactly what they're signing off on.
The Seniority a Fractional Role Rarely Buys
Our fractional leaders have carried the pager — sat in the board meeting, owned the audit, answered the regulator. You get that seniority without the full-time cost or the hiring wait.
What Teams Ask Before They Start
How fast can leadership be in place?
Days, not months. That speed — credible, senior ownership without a search — is the core of the offering.
How does a vAIRO relate to OSFI E-23?
E-23 expects a named, accountable owner for model risk. A vAIRO fills that role with genuine seniority — running your AI governance and standing behind it to a board and an examiner — well ahead of the May 2027 in-force date.
Is this advice, or actual ownership?
Ownership. Our fractional leaders run the program and carry the accountability alongside your team, not from a distance.
Can one engagement cover CISO, AI, and privacy?
Often yes — the vCISO, vAIRO, and vDPO roles can be combined or staffed individually depending on what your board and regulators require.
