Strategic IT and Cybersecurity Leadership for SMB Growth

The Challenge SMBs Face

Most small and mid-sized businesses can’t justify the cost of a full-time CIO or CISO. Without that leadership, they struggle with:

  • Rising IT costs with no clear strategy
  • Compliance pressure from regulators and insurers
  • Increasing cyber risk without proper controls
  • Technology decisions that don’t align with business growth
