vCIO & IT strategy
Most small businesses don't need a CIO full-time. But they do need someone thinking strategically about technology — not just keeping the lights on. That's what a fractional CIO is for.

Quarterly business review with leadership: what shipped, what didn't, what changed, what to adjust.
Common questions answered.
How is this different from regular managed IT?
Managed IT keeps your stuff running. vCIO decides what stuff you should have, when to invest, when to retire systems, what risks to accept. It's strategy, not operations.
How much vCIO time do we actually need?
Most small businesses need 4–8 hours a quarter, plus availability for strategic conversations. We don't sell hours we don't think you need.
Do you do compliance work?
Yes — HIPAA, SOC 2 readiness, CMMC, and general policy frameworks. We're not a CPA firm or law firm; for formal audits we coordinate with one.
