Most SMBs don't need a full-time CIO. They need someone with that judgement on a quarterly cadence — looking ahead 18 months, scoring vendor decisions, prepping for compliance, translating board IT questions into something actually answerable.
12 to 24-month plans aligned to business goals. Refreshed quarterly, presented to leadership in a single page they can read.
Gap assessment, remediation plan, evidence collection, audit support. We've walked clients through certification, including the awkward bits.
Renewal calendar, negotiation support, consolidation opportunities. We've seen the pricing on most major vendors — we know what good looks like.
A 90-minute briefing for owners and senior management. State of IT, upcoming risks, recommended changes, decisions needed.
Maintained continuously. Top 10 risks, owners, mitigations, status. Actually used in board meetings — not a one-time consultant deliverable.
