Building your own CISO list costs 2.3 to 3.6 cents a contact, and the same plan sends the emails.
A prebuilt file is a one-time download that starts going stale the day you buy it. In Lead Finder you choose exactly which CISOs go in, add more whenever you need them, and the plan that pays for the credits also sends the emails.

Vendor security reviews at {{company}}

Example campaign and email, invented for this page. The count is real.
Security vendors, audit firms and cyber insurance brokers use CISO lists to reach the executive who owns a company's security budget.
A chief information security officer sets security policy and approves tools for identity, detection, email and cloud protection, usually after the security team has tested them and a committee has reviewed the cost. Deals take months, so a short first email that names one problem and one result works better than a feature list. Many mid-sized companies have a director or head of security instead of a CISO, so add those titles in Lead Finder to widen the list.
These are the questions people ask about CISO email lists.
How many CISOs can I reach with Emailchaser?
Lead Finder holds 6,002 US contacts with a CISO or chief information security officer job title with a verified work email, from a live count on 3 November 2026. The count changes as people change jobs, so the number you see in Lead Finder on the day you search is the one that counts.
Can I filter CISOs by state, city or company size?
Yes. Lead Finder filters by country, state and city, by seniority (for example owner, partner or director), by company size from 1-10 employees up to 10,001+, and by job title, revenue and the technology a company uses. Combine them freely, and the count updates before you spend anything.
How much does a CISO email list cost on Emailchaser?
Searching and counting are free. Each person you add uses 1 lead credit. Plans include 1,500 credits a month on Starter ($47), 5,000 on Pro ($97) and 10,000 on Max ($358), and extra credits cost $33 per 1,000, or $20 per 1,000 when you buy 5,000 or more. Checking each address is billed apart from credits, at $0.0017 a check. The 7-day free trial includes 500 lead credits.
Does this list include virtual and fractional CISOs?
Yes, when the title contains CISO or chief information security officer, so "Virtual CISO" and "Deputy CISO" are counted. They are usually consultants who advise several small companies, so filter by company size if you want only the executive inside a large company.
Are the emails verified?
Lead Finder only returns people whose work email has a verified status. When you add them, Emailchaser checks each address again (on by default, $0.0017 a check, one or two checks an address), and an address that fails is dropped without using a credit.
Is it legal to send cold email to CISOs?
In the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act allows commercial email to business addresses when you identify yourself honestly, use an accurate subject line, include a postal address and honour every opt-out. Rules are stricter in some other countries, such as under GDPR in Europe.
