Independent IT Oversight for Boards
Clarity. Assurance. Risk Reduction.

A dedicated IT oversight program for Board Chairs, Audit & Risk Committees, and independent directors. No vendors. No technology sales. No conflicts of interest—only clear, plain-English insight into IT risk, spend, and governance duties.

Delivery: All services are virtual by default. A premium Hybrid Governance tier adds an annual on-site visit where deeper in-person engagement is desirable.

Looking for a lighter, one-time Board briefing instead of a full oversight structure? See Board IT Insight (Option B).

Designed for Boards, Not Management
  • Independent perspective reporting to the Board, not to IT or vendors.
  • Clear view of IT spend, risk, and governance obligations.
  • Support for Audit, Risk, and Finance Committees.
  • Identification of blindspots before they become findings or headlines.

Not a technical deep dive. This is Board-level governance, oversight, and fiduciary insight, in language that works for non-technical directors.

1-Day Board IT Oversight Bootcamp

A focused, confidential virtual session tailored for Boards and Committees who want to strengthen IT and cyber oversight without becoming technology experts.

  • Plain-English IT and cyber risk framework for directors.
  • Understanding IT spend and the real drivers behind budgets and overruns.
  • Identifying unmanaged risks, blindspots, and under-resourced areas.
  • How to challenge management constructively without stepping into operations.
  • Oversight templates: key questions, expectations, and follow-up structures.
  • Board-ready risk scoring that fits into existing reporting packs.
  • Guidance on evaluating major IT initiatives before approval.
  • Confidential Q&A time with the Chair and Committee leads.

Independent IT Spend & Risk Review

When Boards want an objective, vendor-neutral view before approving major IT or cyber decisions, an independent review provides a grounded assessment for governance and assurance.

Ideal before approving IT budgets, renewals, CIO/MSP recommendations, major projects, or in response to audit findings and regulator expectations.

Quarterly Board CIO Oversight Retainer (Virtual)

A standing, independent advisor who reports to the Board—not to management—providing ongoing assurance, second opinions, and practical oversight support.

The quarterly cadence aligns with Board oversight cycles and avoids interfering with day-to-day operations.

Hybrid Governance Program (Premium)

For Boards that want a long-term, high-touch relationship with an independent IT oversight partner, the Hybrid Governance Program combines virtual support with an annual on-site visit.

  • Everything in the Quarterly Oversight Retainer.
  • One on-site visit per year (included) for Board, Committee, and management alignment sessions.
  • Annual independent IT and cyber posture review with updated recommendations.
  • Vendor-neutral oversight of major procurements and competitive bids.
  • Monthly Chair check-in call to maintain clarity between Board meetings.
  • Two virtual project reviews per quarter (e.g., ERP, cloud migration, security uplift).
  • Priority response during business hours for urgent Board queries.
