Senior Executive Leadership, Scaled to Your Organization
Growing companies face increasing pressure to demonstrate mature privacy programs, technology governance, and information security leadership — from enterprise customers, regulators, and business partners. Yet the cost and organizational complexity of hiring full-time Chief Privacy, Information, and Security Officers often exceeds the needs of companies in the 50 to 200 employee range.
JBW Group International provides fractional executive leadership across three critical disciplines — vCPO, vCIO, and vCISO — delivering senior-level oversight without the overhead of permanent executive hires. Each engagement is structured on a retainer basis, scoped to your organization’s complexity and regulatory landscape.
Fractional Leadership · Role 1 of 3
Virtual Chief Privacy Officer (vCPO)
The vCPO provides recurring, senior-level privacy leadership for organizations navigating GDPR, CCPA, state privacy laws, and AI-driven data governance requirements. Our vCPO consultants bring direct regulatory expertise and serve as the accountable privacy leader for your organization — attending leadership meetings, reporting to the board, and coordinating across legal, IT, and operations.
vCPO Deliverables
- Recurring privacy program oversight and strategic guidance at the leadership level
- Regulatory monitoring and proactive compliance updates as GDPR, CCPA, and state laws evolve
- Data protection impact assessments for new products, vendors, and AI initiatives
- Board and leadership reporting on privacy posture, risk exposure, and program maturity
- Vendor privacy oversight and third-party data processing evaluations
- Incident management support and breach response coordination
Fractional Leadership · Role 2 of 3
Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO)
The vCIO provides strategic technology leadership for organizations that need senior IT governance, roadmap guidance, and vendor management without a full-time CIO. Our vCIO consultants align technology investments to business objectives and regulatory requirements, and serve as the accountable technology leader across your leadership team.
vCIO Deliverables
- Strategic technology leadership and IT governance oversight scaled to your organization
- Technology roadmap development, vendor management, and IT risk advisory
- Cloud strategy, infrastructure security, and architecture guidance
- Alignment of technology investments to business objectives and regulatory requirements
- IT policy and procedure development supporting compliance and audit readiness
- Technology due diligence support for mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships
Fractional Leadership · Role 3 of 3
Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)
The vCISO provides CISO-level information security oversight for organizations that need senior security leadership without a full-time hire. Our vCISO consultants bring direct experience across ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, and CMMC — building and maturing security programs proportionate to the organization’s risk and regulatory profile.
vCISO Deliverables
- Strategic information security leadership and CISO-level oversight on a fractional basis
- Security program design, implementation, and maturity assessment
- Incident response planning, tabletop exercises, and breach response support
- Security awareness program development and leadership training
- Alignment of security posture to frameworks including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CIS Controls
- Executive and board-level security reporting and risk communication

Privacy Reviews & Assessments
A structured evaluation of your organization’s privacy practices, data handling procedures, and regulatory alignment. Often the first step before engaging a vCPO, preparing for ISO 27701 certification, or responding to enterprise customer privacy requirements.
What a Privacy Review Includes
- Assessment of data collection, storage, and processing practices across systems and vendors
- Review of privacy notices, consent mechanisms, and data subject rights processes
- Evaluation of vendor and third-party data sharing arrangements and contractual safeguards
- Gap analysis against applicable regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and state privacy laws
- Privacy impact assessments for new products, features, or AI-driven initiatives
- Documented findings with prioritized remediation recommendations and implementation guidance
