Set the direction
We work with your leadership and your current technical contacts to connect priorities with program goals, funder expectations, staffing, and growth. The roadmap turns competing requests into a sequence of work.
Fractional CIO for New York nonprofits and law firms
A part time CIO for your budget, risk, and vendors
A fractional CIO is one senior person who leads your IT, security, and AI decisions, part time. A renewal arrives. A department wants a new tool. A risk has been sitting on the list for six months. Each one looks small until the budget, the vendors, and the systems stop fitting together.
Your fractional CIO gives those decisions a place to be reviewed, recorded, and followed through, without adding a full time CIO or IT director to payroll. It works the same way for a nonprofit board and a law firm’s partners.
Fractional CIOA plan, a budget, and someone who keeps track
Keep the money and the risks visible
A multi year spending forecast ties replacement cycles, renewals, security needs, and planned projects together. A risk register shows each issue, its impact, who is responsible, and the next action.
Manage the vendors and report plainly
We review the cost, the dependencies, and the service behind each important vendor. We track renewals and escalations. Leaders get plain language updates on progress, risks, spending, and decisions that need approval.
Decisions get made on purpose, not under pressure
- BeforeA renewal auto renews because nobody looked.AfterEvery renewal is reviewed before the term, with what it costs and what depends on it.
- BeforeA department buys a platform that does not fit.AfterRequests are compared against what you already have, with training and support costs included.
- BeforeThe board asks about technology and gets a shrug.AfterA one page update in plain language, every time.
How the work runs
- Map what you have and what it costsSystems, contracts, dates, and the people who depend on them.
- Set the priorities with leadershipWhat needs funding first, what can wait, and what to stop paying for.
- Keep the plan, the budget, and the risk list currentReviewed on the schedule in your agreement, not once and forgotten.
- Report in plain languageLeaders and the board see what was done, what is open, and what needs a decision.
One way to engage
A fractional CIO on your team
You may already have a technician, a small IT team, or a provider. Someone still has to connect their work to budgets, risk, vendors, and the choices your leaders need to make. We fill that seat part time. Some call this a vCIO, or virtual CIO. Your staff and providers keep doing their technical work. We coordinate the decisions and the follow up, so every task has an owner. A fractional CIO on its own is custom quoted. The price follows the meeting schedule, the planning work, and how many people and sites are involved.
Built to CIS Controls v8 and NIST CSF 2.0.
