IT Consulting Services
Productised assessments, CISO advisory and specialist resource augmentation delivered by senior consultants named on the contract
IT consulting services, named on the contract.
Practical, senior-led consulting for organisations that need clear decisions, fractional leadership or specialist people embedded into delivery.
Three engagement models
We deliver productised assessments for AI readiness, cloud adoption, cyber maturity, Microsoft optimisation and FinOps; CISO as a Service for fractional cyber leadership; and specialist resource augmentation for senior consultants embedded in your team.
Productised engagements have a published methodology, fixed completion date and a named senior consultant. CISO as a Service operates on a monthly retainer. Specialist resourcing supplies named individuals by skill profile and engagement length.
Clear outputs and accountability
Buyers want practical decisions rather than open-ended discovery, cyber leadership without always needing a full-time hire, and specialist talent embedded for defined delivery windows.
CloudCoCo delivers across all three models, aligned to recognised frameworks including NCSC CAF, NIST CSF 2.0, Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, AWS Well-Architected and the FinOps Foundation framework.

Three engagement models. One delivery standard.
Productised assessments, fractional CISO advisory and specialist resource augmentation, delivered with senior accountability and clear outputs.
Two starting points. Three engagement models.
We work with organisations needing a fixed-scope decision, and with leadership teams needing senior people alongside them for advisory or project delivery.
Productised decisions
For organisations that need a structured, defensible recommendation on AI readiness, cloud adoption, cyber maturity, Microsoft optimisation or FinOps maturity, with a costed next step rather than further discovery.
We deliver a fixed-scope, fixed-price assessment with a named senior consultant, a published methodology and a board-level readout in plain language.
Embedded senior expertise
For organisations needing ongoing senior expertise inside the team rather than a fixed-scope study. This could be fractional CISO leadership, or specialist consultants closing skill gaps in SAP, Microsoft, cloud, cyber or data engineering.
The named individual is agreed up front, works to your tooling, and the work product belongs to you.

Transformation roadmap and PMO
Phased programme plan with named owners, dependencies, risks and value milestones, run to PRINCE2 or MSP standards and reported in plain language to sponsor and steering.
CISO as a Service tailored to your maturity.
The full-time CISO market has tightened, while the role’s scope keeps expanding across AI security, identity-first architecture, supply chain risk, post-quantum cryptography and board-level reporting. Fractional CISO advisory closes the gap at a monthly cost calibrated to risk and maturity.
- Fundamentals package covering foundations, system hardening, risk register and IT strategy
- Assurance package covering pen testing, monitoring, threat intelligence and bespoke strategy
- Confidence package covering MITRE attack simulations, war room exercises and continual assessment
- Executive CISO experience supported by security architects and data analysts
- OnDemand access for incident management and board engagement
Specialist consultants embedded in your team.
Most enterprise programmes hit a specialist skill bottleneck. SAP migration, ServiceNow rollout, Salesforce engineering, data engineering, cloud landing zone design and SOC analyst capacity are common examples.
- Senior specialists across SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, AWS and Azure
- Cybersecurity specialists including SOC analysts, pen testers, IAM engineers and security architects
- Data and AI engineering, cloud architecture, DevOps, programme management and business analysis
- Day rate or retained, with named individuals on the contract
