01
White-label
I operate as part of your team and under your MSP’s brand.
Fractional CISO support for MSPs.
Add experienced security leadership to important client relationships without immediately hiring, staffing and building a complete internal CISO practice.
Where I fit
Your team operates the technology. I help lead the program.
CISO work includes executive communication, governance, risk decisions, compliance interpretation, accountability and long-term program direction. Those responsibilities are different from operating tools and resolving tickets.
I work with your team and the client to establish priorities, clarify ownership, support assurance requirements and move unresolved security work forward.
Your MSP retains:
- The client relationship
- Recurring IT and security-tool revenue
- Operational delivery
- Remediation and project opportunities
- Visibility into the client roadmap
Engagement models
Fit the relationship—not a rigid bundle.
The delivery model should reflect the client relationship, the MSP’s maturity and the independence required.
02
Co-branded
The client understands that ChannelCISO provides specialized leadership in partnership with your MSP.
03
Coordinated direct
The client engages ChannelCISO directly while the incumbent MSP retains technical delivery.
When to call
Common MSP client situations.
Start with a real client need rather than a full service-line buildout.
Client asks for a vCISO
You need an experienced practitioner who can lead executive conversations without displacing your team.
Cyberinsurance pressure
Requirements need interpretation, ownership, evidence and coordinated remediation.
Security work is stalled
Findings exist, but ownership, prioritization and follow-through are weak.
AI use is unmanaged
The client needs policies, sanctioned tools, safeguards and a practical approval model.
Executive communication is difficult
Your technical team needs support translating conditions into business risk and decisions.
A strategic account is at risk
A qualified CISO voice can strengthen a proposal, renewal, review or difficult client discussion.

We can determine whether fractional CISO support is appropriate.
