Board-ready CISO leadership, compliance programmes, and risk management — delivered at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
“Security leadership that speaks to boards, satisfies auditors, and protects what you’ve built.”
Bogdan Frincu — Founder & Fractional CISO, RoninSec
Cyber threats don’t distinguish between startups and enterprises — but your security programme probably still does.
A senior CISO costs $250k–$400k/year in salary alone. Most scaling businesses need the expertise but not the overhead — there is a smarter way.
ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, DORA — the regulatory landscape is expanding fast. Falling behind means lost deals, failed audits, and regulatory fines.
Investors, enterprise clients, and regulators now demand demonstrable security governance. A tick-box approach no longer cuts it.
Strategic, hands-on CISO coverage — from day-one security foundations to enterprise-grade compliance programmes.
Dedicated security leadership without the full-time cost. I join your leadership team, attend board and investor meetings, own the security strategy, and drive execution month by month.
From scoping through certification, I manage your ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, or HIPAA journey end-to-end — keeping the programme on track and audit-ready.
Structured risk assessments, security architecture reviews, and vendor due diligence — giving you clarity to make confident security investment decisions.
Regulatory complexity and threat exposure vary dramatically by industry. RoninSec brings sector-specific knowledge to every engagement.
Navigating DORA, PCI-DSS, FCA/SEC expectations, and fintech investor security requirements — helping you move fast without breaking compliance.
Patient data protection, HIPAA compliance, medical device security, and building the trust that healthcare regulators and enterprise buyers demand.
SOC 2 readiness, enterprise security questionnaires, ISO 27001 — turning security into a growth enabler that unlocks deals rather than blocking them.
A clear, structured onboarding process — so you know exactly what happens and when.
A focused 60-minute discovery call to understand your business, regulatory landscape, and current security posture. No fluff — just the right questions.
A tailored security roadmap — prioritised, costed, and mapped to your compliance targets and business objectives. Delivered within two weeks of kickoff.
Ongoing fractional engagement: monthly steering, risk reviews, policy work, auditor liaison, and board updates — adapting as your business scales.
Security leader. Technical practitioner. Trusted advisor.
I founded RoninSec to give scaling businesses access to the same calibre of security leadership that Fortune 500s take for granted — at a price that makes commercial sense.
My background is deliberately dual-track: strategic CISO leadership built through enterprise roles at VOIS/Vodafone and Visma, combined with deep hands-on technical experience across offensive security and red-teaming. That attacker’s perspective isn’t a service I offer — it’s the lens through which I build your defences. Understanding how adversaries think means the security programmes I design are genuinely effective, not just checkbox-compliant.
I work directly with your leadership team to translate security complexity into business outcomes — clear roadmaps, board-ready reporting, and compliance programmes that actually get executed.
Most CISOs are boardroom strategists or technical practitioners. I am both — commercially sound advice that is also technically honest.
Years of hands-on offensive security experience inform every defensive recommendation. I design programmes that stop real attacks, not just theoretical ones.
Proven methodologies compress months of security work into weeks — faster time to compliance, lower cost, and measurable outcomes for your business.
Jurisdiction-aware compliance advisory across all three major regulatory environments — GDPR, NIS2, DORA, HIPAA, SOC 2, and more.
Security metrics and risk reporting that speaks the language of investors, auditors, and non-technical board members — built in as standard.
Monthly retainer, project-based, or advisory — structured to fit your growth stage and budget, scaling as your security needs evolve.
