When to hire a Fractional Compliance Manager
Bring in a Compliance Manager when compliance work is landing on people with other full-time jobs, or when an audit, exam, or customer review has a date on it.
An audit or exam is on the calendar
A SOC 2 window, state examination, or bank partner review is scheduled and nobody owns the evidence, the control narratives, or the remediation list.
Enterprise deals stall on security questionnaires
Sales is waiting on your ops lead or CTO to answer vendor risk questionnaires, and the answers change depending on who fills them out.
Policies exist on paper only
You have a handbook and a few policy documents, but no training records, no control testing, and no proof anyone follows them.
Your compliance lead just left
Filing deadlines, licensing renewals, and open findings are sitting without an owner while you search for a permanent replacement.
New markets bring new rules
Expanding into a new state, country, or product line adds licensing, privacy, or AML obligations your current process was never built to track.
Vendors and third parties go unreviewed
New tools and partners get onboarded without due diligence, contract review, or a record of what data they touch.
The benefits of hiring a Fractional Compliance Manager
A fractional Compliance Manager gives you one accountable owner for policies, controls, and audit evidence, scoped to the regulatory load your company actually carries.
Stand up a compliance program on a retainer
Senior compliance leadership for risk assessments, policy writing, and control monitoring, without carrying a full-time salary and benefits before your volume justifies it.
Get audit-ready before the examiner arrives
Meet pre-screened Compliance Managers within days, so evidence collection and gap remediation start this month instead of after a long search.
Hand your audit to a proven compliance lead
Operators who have already taken companies through SOC 2, HIPAA, AML/KYC, or state licensing reviews, and know which controls auditors test first.

We’ve helped hundreds of organizations Go Fractional
Twelve years: the average experience across a network of handpicked executives ready to make an impact on day one.
“It was a refreshing process and I thought it was super high quality. I really couldn't have asked for anything more given everybody is pressed for time and especially where I sit in the organization, I don't have a lot of time to pour into this as I'm running the business.”
“I think what working with Go Fractional has really done is allowed us to have a high level of continuity at the executive level, even if there is attrition or certain situations where there's a gap. I think more than anything, we've just seen projects and initiatives get done, in a way that I don't think would have been possible without the Go Fractional’s support.”
“Hiring an executive team is critical to get right. The Fractional Operator we brought on played a key role in helping me screen, interview, and generally think through building out our executive team at ChartHop. He brought an outside perspective from someone that has done it before, and I benefited from the additional horsepower.”
