Brandon Krieger

Incident Response Lead and vCISO in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a business issue. A single breach can cost millions, erode customer trust, and disrupt operations. That’s where I come in.

As a Fractional vCISO, Cybersecurity Advisor, and Risk Strategist, I help businesses, MSPs, and MSSPs strengthen their security postures, reduce risk, and achieve compliance without overburdening internal teams.

With 20+ years in cybersecurity and IT leadership, I’ve advised mid-market to enterprise companies across industries including healthcare, finance, legal, technology, retail, education, and manufacturing. I bring a risk-based approach that optimizes People, Processes, and Technology to drive continuous security improvement—quarter after quarter.

🔹 Who I Help & How
✔ Mid-Market & Enterprise Companies → Acting as a Fractional vCISO, providing executive-level cybersecurity leadership without the cost of a full-time CISO.
✔ MSPs & MSSPs → Helping managed service providers elevate their cybersecurity offerings to better protect clients & drive revenue.
✔ Startups & Growth-Stage Businesses → Building scalable, cost-effective security frameworks aligned with business expansion.

🔹 My Areas of Expertise
