About SECURIQUE
A fractional CISO for startups that aren’t ready for a full-time hire.
SECURIQUE was built because founders deserve expert security guidance without the $200k salary, the overhead, and the months it takes to hire. You get a senior security leader embedded in your team and aligned with your roadmap.
Why SECURIQUE exists
Every startup hears the same thing: you need a security program. But the usual options don’t fit. A full-time CISO costs $200k+ and takes months to hire, and most early teams don’t need a full-time one yet. Agencies sell you a senior name, then hand the actual work to juniors. Freelancers run a one-and-done assessment and disappear. None of it gives you security that actually sticks.
SECURIQUE is the fractional model done right. One senior lead owns the work end to end. It never gets passed down or outsourced. Embedded in your team, on an ongoing retainer, scoped to where you actually are. We join your sprints, your architecture reviews, and your incident response, and we move at your pace.
We exist to make senior security leadership accessible to startups at every stage.
Who’s behind it
Hi, I’m Que Sengmany. I founded SECURIQUE, and I do the work.
25+ years across network engineering, cloud architecture, application security, DevSecOps, and security leadership. I’ve built and led security programs from inside cloud-first, engineering-driven companies, not from the outside looking in.
Certifications include CISSP, OSCP, and AIGP, with ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training. I’ve broken into systems and built the programs that defend them, and these days I help teams govern AI responsibly. When you hire SECURIQUE, you get me. No hand-offs, no B-team.
