Fractional Chief AI Security Officer
Your people are already using AI. We make sure it's secure, governed, and defensible, with executive-level leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Employees paste client data into chatbots. Vendors add AI features without asking. Leadership wants the productivity, and the board wants to know who is accountable for the risk.
Most organizations can't answer three basic questions:
A Chief AI Security Officer answers those questions. For most mid-sized organizations, that role can be filled without a full-time executive hire.
What a Fractional CAISO does for you
Finds your AI
We inventory every AI tool, feature and integration in use, including the ones nobody approved.
Sets the rules
We write AI acceptable-use, data-handling and vendor policies your people can actually follow.
Measures the risk
We run AI risk and impact assessments mapped to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001.
Vets your vendors
AI suppliers, and AI features added to software you already use, get the due diligence they need.
Secures what you build
We put guardrails on custom AI, chatbots and agents against prompt injection, data leakage and misuse.
Reports to the board
We deliver AI incident playbooks, leadership tabletop exercises, and board-ready risk reporting in plain business language.
Your first 90 days
Discover
AI inventory, stakeholder interviews and a data-flow review.
Assess
AI risk assessment, gap analysis against your obligations, and a prioritized roadmap.
Govern
Policies approved, an AI governance committee launched, and your first board briefing delivered.
After day 90, your Fractional CAISO runs the program month to month: reviewing new AI requests, monitoring risk, and keeping you ahead of new regulation.

Who it's for
CEOs, CFOs, CIOs and boards at organizations with roughly 50 to 2,000 employees. It also serves CISOs and IT leaders who have been handed AI risk without the time or specialization to own it.
It fits especially well in regulated and data-sensitive industries: professional services, healthcare, finance, manufacturing and hospitality.
Why Total 360 Security
AI security is still security. It calls for governance, risk management and incident response, run by people who have done them at scale.
Total 360 Security is led by Don Oxman, CISSP, CISM, CPP, whose background spans enterprise security at AT&T and U.S. Army service. We bring the same disciplined vCISO approach to AI, backed by Total 360 Compass for your AI inventory, policies and audit evidence.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a vCISO and a Fractional CAISO?
A vCISO owns your overall security program. A Fractional CAISO focuses on the risks AI introduces: data leakage through AI tools, AI vendors, model misuse, and emerging AI regulation. Many clients use both, and we provide both.
We only use off-the-shelf AI tools. Do we need this?
Yes. Most AI risk today comes from everyday tools rather than custom models. Unmanaged use of public AI tools is one of the most common ways sensitive data leaves an organization.
Do we need to comply with an AI law?
Possibly. The EU AI Act, new U.S. state laws (including in Texas and Colorado) and industry regulators are all setting expectations for AI. We map which ones apply to you and build a program that holds up under scrutiny.
Will this slow down our AI adoption?
The goal is to help you adopt AI faster and with confidence, through clear rules, pre-approved tools and a fast review path for new requests.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements begin within two weeks of signing.
