There is no universal solution that fits all organizations; instead, the technologies and solutions deployed should be tailored to align with your team’s unique objectives and capabilities. CIOSO will thoroughly assess your existing technology and service providers, guiding you to maximize their value while ensuring the selections are secure and precisely meet your needs.

Amid a sea of available solutions, It can be almost impossible for most organizations to sort through the options and determine what is best for them. We help bring order to this chaos, keeping you informed of the latest and most cutting-edge capabilities available and preventing you from investing in overlapping capabilities. In some cases, we may advise you to stop using certain providers if we find they don’t fit your needs or are inefficient. We’ll help correct any issues we find in your solution set and identify potential partners for improving your security—in software development, data, systems, cloud backups, networks, OT, and more—both now and in the future.

A business can never afford to do everything now, so CIOSO can serve as your guide to determining what’s most important given your spending ability today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Rather than building without a clear direction, it is better to advance your capabilities with a well-thought-out plan that focuses your efforts and resources. CIOSO develops strategic roadmaps based on our risk-informed capability assessments, mapping out interdependent capabilities and calling attention to the projects on your roadmap that will generate the greatest return on investment in a given time frame.

We collaborate with you to create a strategic plan and track your progress, balancing efforts with financial considerations. Depending on your company’s current capabilities and your goals, we design roadmaps that could be monthly, quarterly, annually, or multi-year, with checkpoints set at appropriate intervals to ensure alignment and adaptability.

Your company needs to keep up with the times, and the best way to do so is to continually improve its software capability maturity. CIOSO will develop tactical recommendations for enhancing the capabilities most crucial to your organization’s growth. We stay current on the capability front while your team focuses on defending your organization on a daily basis and assuring compliance with regulatory obligations.

Our integrated solutions strategy enables companies to optimize their core resources. We implement best practices for your current and future processes, conducting regular reviews to track improvements. We ensure your team consists of skilled, intelligent, and dedicated professionals. CIOSO also helps you adopt the most effective technology solutions to simplify processes and achieve your capability maturity goals.

Let CIOSO serve as your CIO or CISO, helping to plan and implement your business’s cybersecurity strategy when help is needed on an interim basis—or your budget doesn’t call for another full-time member of the C-suite at the moment. We have a strong bench of experts who have accumulated years and years of experience and bring refined cybersecurity acumen to the table. Let our wisdom guide your company to a more secure future.

Our vCIO and vCISO services can be used to fill talent or availability gaps and enhance your company’s capabilities and security posture quickly and efficiently. We can help build a strategy for compliance, reporting, IT readiness, and define your technology roadmaps—including helping your business get more out of the solutions that you already have in place. Safeguard your assets with agility, bring a toolbox of skills to your company, and avoid major personnel expenses by bringing on CIOSO as a fractional CIO or CISO.

Each year, regulatory demands grow more complex. Companies must manage a myriad of new laws requiring additional disclosures and compliance measures. These often involve complex reporting requirements that can surprise businesses that are not actively monitoring the regulatory landscape, in areas such as ESG (environmental, social, and governance) laws, sanctions, and more.

CIOSO supports ensuring accurate regulatory disclosures and advises on the necessary reporting mechanisms and timelines. We assist in managing business risk through meticulously designed compliance programs and strategic communications.

Before entering a merger or acquisition, let CIOSO guide you through the necessary checks and processes to ensure a smooth transition. We will evaluate the cybersecurity and technological maturity of the company you plan to merge with or acquire. We’ll also prepare for the integration or coexistence of your differing systems. Our team will identify key risks and potential financial impacts, assessing each one’s likelihood and severity. We will provide a detailed analysis of your resources to navigate the process effectively. Our guidance is designed to help you manage the unique risks of M&A activities.
