CISO EXECUTIVE SEARCH · SINGAPORE

CISO search. Done by specialists.

Hiring a CISO is one of the riskiest hires a board makes. The right person protects the firm and earns the regulator's trust. The wrong one costs a year. We have recruited cybersecurity and tech risk professionals in Singapore since 2013, and it's the only kind of work we do.

WHY FIRMS USE US

Why firms use us for CISO searches.

We only do this.
Cybersecurity and tech GRC, nothing else. We know the senior cyber talent market, including people who aren't looking.
We know the pay.
Tier-1 CISO total pay can pass S$700k in strong bonus years. Senior people who switch firms often expect 15–20% more. We help you set an offer that lands the first time.
We keep it quiet.
Most CISO searches are confidential. Some replace someone still in the seat. We approach candidates directly and protect your name until you're ready.
We know the rules.
In financial services, your CISO has to satisfy MAS rules on technology risk (TRM) as well as your board. We test for that from the first call.
