Question 1

What is a Fractional CTO/CPO/CISO?

Accepted Answer

A Fractional CXO is a senior executive who works with your organisation part-time or on a project basis. You get the strategic leadership, decision-making ability, and hands-on execution of a seasoned C-level leader, without the cost of a full-time hire. Our Fractional CTO, CPO, CDO, and CISO engagements are designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing team.

Question 2

How is Phronex™ different from a typical consulting firm?

Accepted Answer

We don't sell templated frameworks or deploy junior analysts. Every engagement is led by senior practitioners who have built and scaled products, teams, and businesses. We embed into your team and execute alongside you, not from the sidelines. Our name comes from Phronesis (practical wisdom) and Execution, which reflects exactly how we work.

Question 3

Which industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We work across Financial Services & Fintech, SaaS & Product Companies, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Manufacturing & Industrial, Retail & D2C, EdTech & Learning, Logistics & Supply Chain, and VC & Private Equity portfolios. Our cross-industry experience helps us bring proven patterns from one domain to solve challenges in another.

Question 4

Do you provide ongoing support or only project-based work?

Accepted Answer

Both. We offer flexible engagement models including project-based delivery, retainer-based advisory, fractional leadership (ongoing part-time), and focused delivery sprints. Our goal is to match the engagement model to your business reality, not force a one-size-fits-all approach.

Question 5

What is your pricing model?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing is customised based on the scope, complexity, and duration of each engagement. We don't use standardized tier-based pricing. Instead, we design engagement structures that align with your budget and expected outcomes. Contact us for a transparent conversation about your needs.

Question 8

How do you ensure security and compliance?

Accepted Answer

Security is embedded in everything we do. We follow industry best practices including ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and India's DPDP Act frameworks. Our Fractional CISO service provides strategic oversight for risk management, compliance, and security architecture, tailored to your industry and regulatory environment.
