About

When you hire fractional leadership, you’re hiring a person. Here’s who.

How N2iT Security started.

Two decades leading security and IT functions at 80–800-person companies across financial services, healthcare, and technology — in roles including VP of IT, CTO, and CISO. Certifications (CISSP, Security+, CEH, Microsoft 365/Azure) earned in the field, not a classroom.

N2iT Security started from a pattern that kept repeating: mid-market companies stuck between two bad options. A full-time CIO/CTO/CISO is expensive and often premature. Full-outsourced MSP is reactive ops without the strategic layer. The companies that most needed senior tech and security guidance were the ones priced out of it. That’s the gap we close.

The view on AI here is specific: the risk isn’t the model, it’s the data plumbing around it. You can move fast on AI — you just have to get governance right first. That’s a 60-day project, not a multi-year compliance program.

How we work

Four things that won’t change.

Explain before recommend.

You’ll know why. If we can’t explain it to your CFO or board, we don’t bring it up.

Vendor-neutral.

No kickbacks from cloud, AI, or security vendors. If the right answer is open-source or a competitor’s product, that’s what you get.

An executive in the room, not a deck.

Fractional is part-time. It is not part-attention. We show up to the meetings that matter and own outcomes alongside your team.

Size to the decision.

6-week AI program. 6-month CISO retainer. One-day board prep. We don’t inflate scope to inflate a contract.

Like the way we think? Let’s talk about your situation.

One short call. No commitment. We’ll tell you straight whether we’re a fit.
