Senior technology judgment without a full-time hire

Growing businesses reach a point where technology decisions carry real money and real risk, but there is nobody at director level who owns them. We fill that role on a part-time or project basis.

What goes wrong

Purchases are made one at a time, usually on a supplier's recommendation. Nobody checks whether they fit together or whether the business needed them.

When a regulator, auditor or large client asks who is responsible for technology risk, there is no clear answer.

What it costs the business

Overlapping tools, contracts that renew unnoticed, and projects that finish late because nobody senior was watching them.

Growth then stalls on systems that were never designed for the size the business has reached.

What we do

  • Technology plan and budget

    A 12 to 24 month plan tied to the business plan, with costs and owners.

  • Vendor and contract review

    Independent review of proposals and renewals before you sign.

  • Compliance readiness

    Preparation for CBK guidance, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS reviews, focused on the evidence each one requires. Data protection has its own service.

  • Board and management reporting

    A quarterly technology risk report in plain language.

  • Project oversight

    Someone on your side of the table when suppliers deliver.
