Why Mumbai businesses choose a Fractional CISO
Mumbai businesses — particularly those in financial services, fintech, and professional services — operate under India's strictest cybersecurity scrutiny. RBI-regulated entities face specific IT security and audit requirements. Businesses handling large volumes of customer financial data carry significant DPDP Act liability. A Fractional CISO in Mumbai gives ₹10–100Cr businesses the cybersecurity leadership to satisfy enterprise customer audits, manage CERT-In compliance, and build towards ISO 27001 — without the ₹30–60L full-time cost.

Diagnostic
A 4–8 hour fixed-fee diagnostic session with your team — in Mumbai or remote. Identifies the top constraint limiting your business and whether a Fractional CISO is the right intervention.
Proposal
Specific scope, outcomes, and timeline — not a generic retainer. You know exactly what you are getting before committing.
Embedded engagement
Your Fractional CISO attends your management meetings, tracks KPIs monthly, and works alongside your team. Not an external consultant — embedded C-suite leadership.
KPI accountability
Monthly review against agreed outcomes. Every engagement is measured against specific, pre-agreed business metrics — not hours logged.
