FAQs

What is CISO coaching and how does it differ from training?

CISO coaching is personalized 1-on-1 support focused on your specific challenges. Unlike training that delivers generic knowledge, coaching works on your real situation: budget negotiations, crisis management, board relations, personal development.

How are coaching sessions conducted?

Sessions typically last 1.5-2 hours, via video or in-person. We start with an assessment of your situation, define clear objectives, then work on practical cases from your daily work. Between sessions, you apply learnings with email follow-up.

What is the profile of the coaches?

Our coaches are former CISOs with 15+ years of experience, having worked in large corporations and demanding environments. They combine technical expertise, managerial experience, and professional coaching certification (ICF).

How many sessions are needed to see results?

A standard program includes 10 sessions over 4-6 months. Initial results (confidence, clarity) appear after 2-3 sessions. Lasting transformations (board influence, restructured team) take 4-6 months. We also offer short formats for specific challenges.
