Some organisations need more than support. They need someone to own the strategy, challenge suppliers, report to the board and connect technology to business outcomes — without the cost of a full-time CTO or CISO.
NorthMSP and NorthCTO are both part of North Technology Group. NorthMSP keeps your technology running and secure day to day. NorthCTO sits above it — owning strategy, governance and risk at a leadership level.
Board-level direction on strategy, investment and modernisation — on a flexible, fractional basis.
CISO-level ownership of cyber risk, governance and compliance, explained to leadership in plain terms.
Preparedness and senior leadership before, during and after a security incident.
You don’t have to be a NorthMSP client. NorthCTO works wherever the strategic layer is missing.
Someone needs to own the direction, challenge the supplier and make sure decisions serve the business — not just the support queue.
Independent technical governance that holds suppliers to account and keeps spend honest.
Risk translated into business language leadership can actually act on.
A migration, merger, system replacement or growth step that needs senior technical ownership.
Plans, rehearsals and leadership so an incident is handled calmly, not chaotically.
Clear, regular reporting that connects technology and risk to strategy.
That’s a common place to start. We’ll help you work out what the gap actually is — and which side of the group is the right fit.
