Hiring a full-time CIO or CISO in 2026 is an ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜.

A ยฃ150,000 base salary is just the ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด point.

When you account for:

Your total investment exceeds ยฃ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ,๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ.

Most SMEs and scale-ups donโ€™t have 40 hours of "strategic" work every week. They have 40 hours of work, but only 4โ€“8 hours of it requires a board-level head.
