Technology Risk & Readiness Review

Fixed-fee sprint · typically 4–6 weeks

A leadership-level look at where your technology could fail you, and what to fix first, written for your leaders and board.

Where we help

• Cybersecurity, backups and continuity for critical systems
• Vendor, contract and student-data exposure
• A prioritized plan your board can act on

This is a governance review, not technical testing. Where testing is needed, we help you scope and oversee a qualified specialist.

Staff and students are using AI, but you don’t have rules yet?

AI Strategy & Governance Plan

Fixed-fee sprint · typically 4–8 weeks

Move from scattered, unofficial AI use to clear guidelines and a plan for where AI adds value.

Where we help

• Policies and guardrails that protect students and staff
• Deciding where AI helps teaching and operations, and where it doesn’t
• Preparing staff and presenting the plan to your board

We recommend and govern; your staff or vendors implement.

Unsure who decides on technology, or whether you’re meeting privacy laws?

IT Governance & Compliance Review

Fixed-fee sprint or monthly retainer

Clear decision-making and compliance that hold up under audits, staff turnover and growth.

Where we help

• Who decides on technology, and by what policies
• Apps and vendor contracts: what you have, what you need and what’s at risk
• Student-privacy and state compliance requirements

We identify compliance gaps; legal opinions remain with your counsel.

Need a technology leader, but not a full-time one?

Fractional CIO / CIO Advisor

Monthly retainer

Executive technology leadership without a full-time hire, or a trusted advisor to the technology leader you already have.

Where we help

• Technology direction, priorities and budget
• Board and leadership reporting
• Guidance for your IT staff and providers

Scope and meeting schedule are set in each agreement.

Need a multi-year plan?

Follow-on: Strategic Technology Plan

Typically 6–10 weeks, plus progress check-ins

A 3–5 year technology plan, built with your team on the findings of any review above.

Where we help

• Goals tied to your mission and budget
• Funding and device-refresh planning
• Periodic check-ins on progress

Your team carries out the plan; we meet periodically to review progress.
