For healthcare security leaders · Nationwide
Join our healthcare CISO consultant network.
Bring your healthcare security leadership experience to defined client engagements. We are recruiting independent consultants for fractional and interim leadership, security assessments, and readiness projects across the United States.
A CISO is a Chief Information Security Officer: an executive security leader who connects risk, governance, and security decisions with an organization’s priorities. A previous CISO title is optional for our network; relevant healthcare security leadership experience is required.
Questions about the network? Call 213-536-1560.
Who we want to hear from
- Healthcare security leaders: experience guiding security decisions in healthcare organizations, with or without the formal CISO title.
- Practical executive communicators: the ability to explain risk, priorities, and progress to business and technology leaders.
- Consultants with relevant delivery skills: experience in fractional or interim leadership, security assessments, HIPAA risk analysis, or SOC 2 readiness work.
- Professionals with defined capacity: availability and working preferences that can be matched to a specific engagement.
Work matched to your skillset
Healthcare security assessments
Executive program reviews, risk prioritization, findings, and practical improvement roadmaps.
Specialist readiness work
HIPAA security risk analysis or SOC 2 readiness projects where your experience and the agreed scope are a match.
Consultants are considered for work that fits their experience. Joining the network does not imply qualification for every service. SOC 2 readiness projects are advisory engagements; the independent examination and report are separate CPA firm services.
How engagements work within the practice
- HealthcareCISO contracts with the client: the practice handles the client agreement and billing, then engages the assigned consultant as a subcontractor.
- The assigned CISO leads the client relationship: the consultant is the client’s primary point of contact, with HealthcareCISO overseeing the engagement.
- Each engagement has agreed terms: responsibilities, deliverables, timing, availability, and the oversight approach are defined for that engagement.
- Compensation is a fixed fee: consultant compensation is agreed per defined project or engagement before work begins.
Independent consulting arrangements
Our intended model is independent contractor (1099) consulting with HealthcareCISO. Each assignment is subject to a written agreement and applicable requirements. We discuss the actual working arrangement before an engagement begins.
Other client work requires HealthcareCISO approval. Consultants must carry their own professional liability and cyber insurance, with coverage requirements agreed before an engagement.
A practical introduction
Use the dedicated form below to share your services, healthcare experience, and availability. An optional PDF résumé or professional profile helps us understand your background. We discuss project scope and fixed-fee compensation separately when there is a potential fit.
From introduction to a possible engagement
- Send an introduction through the candidate form on this page.
- Discuss healthcare experience, delivery strengths, capacity, and fit with the practice.
- Complete an experience interview, professional reference checks, and a background check before network acceptance.
- When a suitable client need arises, discuss the project scope, requirements, fixed fee, and written terms.
Screening details and requested authorizations are handled separately from the public inquiry form.
Introductions are reviewed for possible future engagements. This page does not list a specific funded vacancy or promise a minimum volume of work. Each project requires an agreed scope, fixed fee, and written terms.
Considering a full-time employed CISO role?
Our executive search service supports organizations hiring their own full-time CISO employees. That is a separate path from the subcontractor network. You can indicate interest in a full-time client role in the same inquiry form.
