Why Pune businesses choose a Fractional CISO
Pune's auto-component manufacturers and IT/ITES businesses face specific cybersecurity requirements. OEM customers — particularly German, Japanese, and US auto manufacturers — increasingly mandate supplier cybersecurity standards (TISAX, ISO 27001) as part of vendor qualification. IT services companies handling client data must comply with customer security requirements. A Fractional CISO in Pune helps businesses achieve the certifications required to maintain and expand their OEM and enterprise customer relationships.

How an engagement starts
Diagnostic
A 4–8 hour fixed-fee diagnostic session with your team — in Pune 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.
