Helping Leaders Make Better Technology Decisions.
Concordant puts an experienced CIO, CTO, or CISO in the room to set your technology and security strategy, build the roadmap, and steer the hard calls, for only as long as you need one.

Executive leadership, on demand
Not every organization needs a full-time CIO, CTO, or CISO. But every organization has moments that call for one: a modernization, an audit, a breach, new regulations, or a board that wants a technology strategy. Concordant gives you that leader on demand. An experienced federal or commercial executive steps in, sets the strategy, builds the roadmap, and stays until you are up and running, then scales back when you no longer need to fill the seat.
What we do
Executive strategy and oversight across three chairs: CIO, CTO, and CISO.
01
Virtual CIO
We set and run your IT strategy. We document where you are today, find the gaps, build the corrective plan, and align your infrastructure with your mission, your budget, and the rules you answer to. The steady hands-on technology decisions when you don't have a full-time CIO.
02
Virtual CTO
We own the technical direction: architecture, build-versus-buy calls, modernization strategy, and the roadmap that moves you from today's technology to where the mission is headed.
03
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
We lead security at the strategy level. Your risk posture, your compliance obligations, and a plan to meet them, from NIST and CMMC to privacy rules like GDPR, California's CCPA, and PCI DSS. Security leadership without a full-time hire.
What you get
Why work with Concordant
Proof Point
FAA System Security
We conduct formal NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 security control assessments annually for FAA systems, producing SAPs, SARs, risk analysis reports, and executive summaries. We advised regarding the migration from NIST 800-53 Rev 4 to Rev 5 for multiple FAA systems and provided control tailoring and implementation statements. Finally, we provided Zero Trust architecture planning and gap analysis aligned with NIST maturity model at FAA.
Frequently Asked Questions
The common questions about fractional and virtual executive leadership, answered in one place.
What is a virtual CIO (vCIO)?
An experienced CIO who sets and runs your IT strategy part-time or by project, instead of as a full-time hire. You get senior technology leadership for the decisions that need it, sized to what you actually need.
What is a virtual or fractional CISO (vCISO)?
A senior security leader who owns your risk and compliance strategy without a full-time salary. A vCISO provides information security services to an organization on a part-time, outsourced, or contract basis. Our vCISO advisors set your security direction, map your obligations, and lead the plan to meet them. For hands-on security engineering and monitoring, see our Cybersecurity & Information Assurance page.
What is a virtual CTO?
An experienced CTO who owns your technical direction: architecture, build-versus-buy, modernization, and the roadmap, on the schedule your organization needs.
When do I need fractional executive leadership?
When the stakes are high but the need isn't full-time: a modernization, an audit or breach, a regulation you now fall under, a board that wants a technology strategy, or a gap between permanent leaders.
What is IT strategy consulting?
Setting the direction for your technology: where you are today, where you need to be, and the roadmap between them, tied to your mission, budget, and compliance obligations.
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
Our advisors have actually held these roles, at federal and commercial organizations. You get someone who has made these calls before, not a generalist working from a framework.
