Fractional CTO services for your business

We give your business ongoing technology leadership without a full-time CTO. We take the systems, the vendors, the security, and the decisions that come with them, and we keep leadership informed in plain language. We stay with the business, so the next question has somewhere to go.

What you are looking for

Technology with a plan, a budget, and someone accountable for both

The retainer is the operating picture of the company’s technology: what is in place, what it costs, what is at risk, and what happens next. Talon Software keeps that picture current and brings the decisions that need leadership, instead of leaving them scattered across vendors.

The work

The decisions above day-to-day technology

Security leadership, questionnaires, software oversight, AI, and a seat in leadership meetings. Monthly plans are on their own page.

  • Security program leadership and incident response

  • Cyber insurance, customer questionnaires, and audit readiness

  • Software selection, delivery oversight, and hiring

  • AI and automation decisions

  • A seat in leadership meetings

Monthly plans

Fixed assessments

A technology, business, or network security assessment produces a written report and a readout to leadership. Where a retainer is appropriate, the proposal is the final section of that readout. Half of the fee is credited to the first retainer month when the agreement is signed within 30 days.

Services

Not this practice

  • A company shopping for a help desk
  • A founder looking for a technical cofounder
  • A team that needs more developers, not a leader
  • An organization that already has a technology executive

Discovery call

Thirty minutes. The conversation confirms the business event, the decision-maker, and whether a budget exists. Where the work is a fit, an assessment proposal follows within one business day.
