Your business almost certainly runs on IT every day, but few companies have an actual technology plan behind it. Projects turn reactive, budgets slip and systems stop scaling with the business. Opportunities to automate or move faster get missed simply because nobody owns the bigger picture.
IT365’s IT Consultancy service gives you direct access to board-level IT leadership through your vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer). Once they know your business, your vCIO takes the technology decisions off your plate, so security and staying current are no longer things you have to think about. This is included as access within Infinite Assurance, with project delivery billed separately, giving you the strategic capability of an in-house CTO without the in-house cost.
On the Elevate package, every client meets Cyber Essentials standard, the UK government-backed baseline for cyber security. On Infinite Assurance, the standard goes higher. Every client operates to CIS (Center for Internet Security) standard, with all the policies and documentation that come with it.
CIS Controls represent a more comprehensive approach than Cyber Essentials. Where Cyber Essentials covers the essential baseline, CIS Controls go deeper, covering access management, data protection, incident response and more. IT365 builds, documents and maintains this standard for every Infinite Assurance client. You are not just advised on what to do. You are given everything you need to meet it.
Hiring IT365 as your IT consultants means direct access to the technology, systems and strategy needed to move your business forward. You still get enterprise-level support, monitoring and proactive services, alongside director-level expertise.
For businesses scaling into new territories, technologies or revenue streams, having a dedicated consultant to work out the systems, protections and costs involved is worth a great deal. Below is a selection of what’s available through our IT Consultancy service. If costs and inefficiencies are piling up, this is where that stops.
Most managed IT services provide support, not leadership, leaving businesses without guidance, prioritisation or accountability for outcomes. Your vCIO gives you CTO-level direction, board-level reporting and governance, regular technology alignment meetings and business impact reviews. Technology becomes a growth enabler rather than a line on the cost sheet.
Without a roadmap, IT becomes a series of disconnected decisions. Short-term fixes pile up, work gets duplicated and spend becomes unpredictable. We deliver a 12 to 36 month roadmap aligned with your business strategy, architecture and scalability planning, budget forecasting and project prioritisation, plus alignment workshops. The result is a clear plan and investments you can predict.
As a business expands, mismatched technology creates bottlenecks, delays new site launches and slows teams down. We handle solution and architecture design, new site and team expansion planning, workforce enablement strategy and cloud readiness assessments, so growth stays fast rather than becoming its own project.
When spending isn’t tied to outcomes or risk, budgets get wasted and critical issues go unfixed. We provide ROI analysis and outcome-based planning, licence and tool consolidation, risk assessment and maturity modelling, a prioritised remediation roadmap and cyber insurance advisory. Less waste, a clearer return, and clarity on where to invest and why.
Standards drift if nobody’s checking them. Every quarter, your vCIO reviews your environment against CIS standard, confirms you’re still meeting it and updates your policies and documentation to reflect anything that’s changed. You know exactly where you stand, with the paperwork to prove it.
Monthly meetings between your vCIO and your Customer Success Manager review priorities, plan ahead and keep your technology aligned with where the business is going.
Migrations, upgrades, cloud projects and infrastructure improvements are scoped, planned and delivered end to end, with clear timelines and predictable outcomes.
Access to strategic IT leadership is included within your Infinite Assurance package, a cost-effective way to make sure your IT keeps moving in the right direction. Project delivery itself is billed separately as project work.
Infinite Assurance also includes full access to our Cyber Security and Managed IT Services, so every part of your IT is managed proactively and built to scale.
