IT and compliance for software, consulting and research firms
Your clients trust you with their data, and sooner or later they ask you to prove it. We handle the IT, the security, and the SOC 2 report that wins the contract.
Software companies, consultancies and research firms share a particular problem. They are full of technical people, yet nobody’s job is the company’s own IT. And because they hold their clients’ data, their security is constantly being checked by someone else.
The questions usually arrive as a security questionnaire, then a request for a SOC 2 report. Answering them well is often what decides whether a contract gets signed.
We take that off your plate: the day-to-day IT, the security controls, and the compliance work that proves they are in place. Your people go back to the work your clients actually pay for.
What makes IT hard here
- Security questionnaires
- Enterprise customers send long security questionnaires, and the answers decide whether you win the deal.
- The SOC 2 request
- A prospect asks for your SOC 2 report, and you do not have one.
- Client data obligations
- Confidentiality duties to clients, often with contractual security requirements attached.
- Distributed teams
- Staff working from home, client sites and other countries, all needing secure access.
- Nobody owns IT
- Technical people everywhere, but nobody whose job is the company's own systems.

- Controls, policies and evidence built so your audit goes cleanly.

Questions we get asked
Do you only work with Texas companies?
No. Compliance and vCIO work does not need us in the room, and much of our work for software and consulting firms is for clients in other states and outside the US.
We are mid-way through SOC 2. Can you help?
Yes. Picking up a stalled SOC 2 programme is common work for us.
We are technical. Why would we need an IT provider?
Because building software and running your company's own systems are different jobs. Most technical firms find their best engineers spending hours on laptops, access and vendor questionnaires instead of the work clients pay for.
