Running a pentest team is no easy task. When you’re focused on expanding your service portfolio, leading a pentest team can demand more time and resources than you have available.

Incorporating a fractional manager into a penetration testing team can effectively address both the tactical needs of project management and the strategic needs of business and team development.

Flexibility

Bring a fractional leader in to manage specific projects or during peak times without the overhead associated with a full-time senior manager. This can help in efficiently managing resources during tight deadlines.

Cost-Effectiveness

A cost-effective solution for organisations not ready or able to commit to a full-time senior manager but still require managerial expertise to lead complex projects or guide strategic decisions.

Expertise & Experience

Access specialised knowledge and experience that might be too costly to have onboard full-time. This can be particularly beneficial in mentoring team members and elevating overall team capabilities.

Objective Insights

Being partially detached from the daily operations, fractional managers can provide unbiased insights into team dynamics, workflow improvements, and client relationship management. Their perspective can help in identifying and mitigating internal conflicts or communication barriers.

Strategic Focus

Fractional managers can help in focusing on strategic growth areas such as developing new service lines or enhancing customer engagement strategies, thus aligning the team’s work with broader business objectives.
