Smaller companies can't afford a CSO, but they need the expertise. If they have a good team in place, then a fractional CSO can be helpful to elevate the company to the next level without the investment of a full-time person. Unless that CSO has all of the authority of a hired employee, it can be a waste of time and money. Companies should only hire them if they will give them the power and leeway to get the job done.

I think with the talent gaps and companies volatility these days we are seeing Fractional CFO's, CISO's, DPO's, and even human resource functions across the board. When you think about the investment from a companies perspective, it makes a lot of sense from an ROI perspective. It's a win/win from both perspectives because not only is it a more cost effective solution, you have the knowledge and expertise of a leader with a diverse background who can share best practices from multiple different companies at the same time.
