Senior cybersecurity leadership to turn exposure into resilience, without the need for a full-time CISO
Provided by Delzad M., Founder & Fractional CISO — Fractional CISO & Cyber Resilience Advisor
Get experienced CISO leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time security executive. I bring 22+ years of cybersecurity leadership experience, including serving as a Global CISO and Group CISO & Data Protection Officer for complex multinational organizations.
As your Fractional CISO / vCISO, I work with founders, CEOs, Boards, technology leaders, and security teams to understand where the organization is genuinely exposed, prioritize what matters, and build a security program that supports the business.
Engagements can include cyber resilience strategy, security program development and transformation, governance and risk management, Board and executive reporting, regulatory readiness, incident preparedness, third-party risk, privacy and data protection, security architecture oversight, and AI-related risk governance.
My approach follows a simple operating model: Discover → Fortify → Command. Discover what is actually exposed. Fortify what matters most. Command through clear ownership, governance, metrics, and executive decision-making. The objective is not more policies, dashboards, or compliance theatre.
It is a security capability that can withstand real-world pressure. Available for ongoing Fractional CISO / vCISO engagements, defined monthly retainers, interim leadership, and targeted executive advisory mandates.
I am based in Athens, Greece and work remotely with organizations internationally, with periodic on-site travel where mutually agreed.
