Stonehook Software provides Fractional vCIO services for organizations that need clear technology leadership without adding a full-time executive role. This is for leaders who want stronger direction, better prioritization, and a plan that aligns technology decisions to business goals.
Fractional vCIO services focus on practical outcomes: a clear roadmap, cybersecurity and risk oversight, vendor and cost control, and execution planning your team can actually follow. When AI adoption is part of the plan, we help establish guardrails and rollout structure so adoption is safe and measurable.
In practice, this means helping leadership teams make informed decisions, avoid reactive technology choices, and maintain momentum across initiatives. Fractional vCIO support provides continuity, accountability, and an experienced point of view so technology efforts stay aligned with operational realities and long-term business objectives.
Engagements typically begin with a focused discovery and assessment, followed by an ongoing advisory cadence.
• Technology strategy and priorities aligned to business objectives
• Cybersecurity posture, risk oversight, and resilience planning
• Vendor selection, performance management, and cost control
• Roadmaps, project sequencing, and execution guidance
• AI adoption strategy, governance, and safe-use standards
We help organizations define clear technology priorities and multi-phase roadmaps aligned to business objectives. This includes assessing the current environment, identifying the highest-impact initiatives, and sequencing work so execution stays realistic and measurable. The goal is to reduce reactive decision-making and replace it with a plan your team can actually follow.
Fractional vCIO services include cybersecurity posture review, risk identification, and practical mitigation planning. We focus on reducing exposure, improving resilience, and ensuring security efforts match the organization’s real risk profile. This includes oversight of policies, controls, response readiness, and ongoing risk tradeoffs without overengineering.
We provide executive-level oversight of technology vendors, contracts, and spend. This includes vendor selection support, performance management, renewal strategy, and cost control. The objective is to reduce waste, eliminate duplication, and ensure vendors are delivering measurable value aligned to business needs.
When AI adoption is part of the roadmap, we help define safe-use standards, governance expectations, and rollout structure. This includes guardrails for responsible use, verification habits, and clarity on where AI is appropriate and where it is not. The result is adoption that is practical, controlled, and sustainable across real teams and workflows.
Strategy only matters if execution happens. We provide ongoing guidance to leadership on prioritization, tradeoffs, and decision-making as projects move forward. This includes helping teams remove blockers, stay aligned on outcomes, and adjust plans without losing momentum or creating unnecessary complexity.
For organizations that want continued executive oversight, Fractional vCIO services can be structured as an ongoing advisory retainer. This provides consistent leadership support, regular check-ins, and a reliable cadence for priorities, risk, vendor oversight, and roadmap progress. Retainer structure can be tailored to your organization’s size, complexity, and desired level of involvement.
