6 of 7IT consulting & technology solutions
IT consulting that starts with a map.
Before you buy, build or replace anything, it helps to know where you stand. We assess your systems and your risks, then hand you a written roadmap with priorities, costs and a sensible order of work.
What we cover
Technology and security assessments
A clear picture of your systems, data, risks and gaps, written in plain language.
Roadmaps and architecture reviews
What to do first, what it costs and what it reduces, over the next one to two years.
Vendor and tool selection
Requirements, shortlists and evaluations, so you choose on evidence.
SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 readiness
Gap analysis, policies, and the technical controls auditors will ask about.
Privacy by design for PIPEDA and Québec’s Law 25
Data mapping, privacy impact assessments, and controls that make compliance part of your systems.
Fractional CTO and CISO support
Senior technology and security leadership a few days a month, without a full-time hire.

Questions people ask
We’re a small company. Is this for us?
Yes. A short assessment and roadmap is often most useful for small teams, because it helps a limited budget go where it reduces the most risk.
Can you help us pass a SOC 2 audit?
We prepare you for it: gap analysis, policies and technical controls. The audit itself is done by an independent CPA firm.
What is a fractional CTO or CISO?
A senior leader who works with you part time, often a few days a month, to set direction, review decisions and report to leadership.
