QWhen should we bring in a fractional CTO?

AnswerWhen you need senior technical direction and accountability but not a full-time hire. That might be during a build-out, a turnaround, or while you search for a permanent leader. Scope it to decisions and outcomes, not hours. ^[1]

QWhat makes target architecture actually useful?

AnswerArchitecture stays useful only when it carries decision records and named owners. Diagrams without accountability drift away from delivery. ^[1]

QHow do we get certification-ready without theatre?

AnswerWork toward Cyber Essentials, then ISO 27001, by producing real controls and evidence rather than badges for show. The path should leave you genuinely more secure. ^[1]
