What it is

Your project should not wait for your hire.

Fandral is Mjolnir's staff augmentation programme, named for the swiftest of the Warriors Three. We place experienced security professionals inside your organization: they work in your environment, with your tools, under your direction, and they learn your business context as they go.

Every Fandral analyst stays connected to Mjolnir. They can escalate to our SOC, threat intelligence and incident response teams and to senior leadership, so you get one person's time with the weight of a full practice behind it.

What you get
  • Credentialed analysts matched to the role, the tools and the regulatory context
  • Embedding in as little as 48 hours, rather than the months a hire takes
  • Project-based, surge or longer-term engagements, shaped around your plan
  • Escalation to Mjolnir's SOC, intelligence and incident response teams
  • Knowledge transfer and handover so your permanent team inherits the work

Questions

What buyers ask.

We'd rather hire permanently.

Do both. Use Fandral while you recruit so the project does not wait for the hire, and we hand the work over cleanly when your new person starts.

Will an outsider understand our environment?

Fandral analysts work inside your environment and tools from day one, and they learn your business context as they go. They are part of your team, not a remote ticket queue.

How quickly can someone start?

In as little as 48 hours, depending on the role, the skills and any clearance or onboarding requirements you have.

What if we need more than one person, or strategic leadership?

We can staff a team, and for leadership we offer a vCISO on an annual contract. If you would rather hand off monitoring altogether, look at MSOC.
