The Context

10x Team is building a curated cybersecurity leadership capability to support multiple fast-scaling European organizations operating in increasingly regulated and threat-sensitive environments. These companies require senior security architects who can design institutional-grade security frameworks that scale with product growth, regulatory exposure, and enterprise customer expectations.

This is a selective addition to a high-level security leadership bench—not a single vacancy.

The Mandate

As a Fractional CISO, you will be deployed to design and implement scalable security and governance architectures across high-growth technology environments. Your focus is execution-driven architecture of repeatable security engines, including:

Enterprise-grade information security strategy aligned with business objectives
Risk-based security governance frameworks
Security-by-design integration into product and engineering workflows
Threat modelling and risk assessment structures
Security control design and maturity roadmaps
Incident response frameworks and breach escalation protocols
Vendor and third-party risk management programs
Security certification readiness structures including ISO 27001 and SOC 2
Alignment with EU regulatory frameworks such as NIS2 and DORA where applicable
Security performance dashboards and board-level reporting models
Executive communication frameworks translating technical risk into business impact

The objective is to transform fragmented security efforts into a scalable, auditable security platform that enables growth rather than constrains it.

Who We Are Looking For

Senior-level security leaders with:

7+ years experience in cybersecurity leadership roles
Proven experience designing and implementing security programs in scaling environments
Deep knowledge of risk management and control frameworks
Experience with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and enterprise customer security requirements
Ability to operate at executive and board level
Strong technical fluency combined with strategic judgment
An execution mindset
