vCIO service
An IT leader for your business. Without the full-time cost.
A vCIO (virtual Chief Information Officer) is an experienced IT executive working in your company's interest: shaping IT strategy, planning budgets, managing risks and vendors, and reporting to management in plain language.
- IT strategy
- Budget planning
- Risk management
- Vendor management
Executive-level view
IT decisions driven by business goals, not just technology.
Predictable cost
A fixed monthly fee, significantly below a full-time CIO salary.
Independent advice
Your vCIO represents your interests in vendor negotiations instead of selling their own products.
What a vCIO does
Regular, structured work with your IT environment and management team, not a one-off consultation.
01
IT strategy and roadmap
Assessment of the current environment, priorities and a 12–36 month development plan aligned with business goals.
02
Budget and cost control
IT budget planning, licence and subscription optimisation, investment cases for management.
03
Security governance
Security policy implementation, risk assessment, and oversight of NIS2 and other compliance requirements.
04
Vendor management
Contract, SLA and pricing reviews, proposal evaluation and negotiations on your side of the table.
05
Project oversight
Planning and supervision of migrations, rollouts and other IT projects from the client's side.
06
Management reporting
Regular reports on IT health, risks, costs and progress in plain business language.
Who a vCIO is for
Companies with 20–200 employees where IT is business-critical but a full-time CIO is not yet economically justified. Also organisations where NIS2 requires clearly assigned IT governance responsibility.
