Fractional CIO and CTO services from practitioners who've run technology at scale — CVS Health, Aetna, enterprise cloud environments. Strategy, architecture, compliance, and implementation.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute scoping conversation — no retainer commitment required until we've agreed on scope and outcome.
Technology leadership without the full-time executive cost. Strategy, vendor management, team oversight, board-level reporting, and technology roadmap ownership. 1–4 days per month.
Azure, AWS, M365, Google Workspace, and hybrid environments. Migration planning, architecture design, and implementation from practitioners who've done it at enterprise scale.
HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI compliance frameworks built by practitioners with experience implementing these at CVS Health and Aetna scale — not consultants reading the frameworks for the first time.
Layer8 principals bring enterprise technology credentials to SMBs that can't justify — or don't need — a full-time technology executive, but can't afford to operate without one.
Prior roles at CVS Health and Aetna at enterprise scale, now applied to the $5M–$50M market where these systems matter just as much — and the stakes are just as high.
Illustrative examples from active engagements — clients not named by agreement.
HIPAA-regulated healthcare practice. Full M365 tenant migration, Entra ID identity architecture, device management rollout via Intune, and HIPAA Security Rule gap remediation.
50-user dual-tenant Microsoft Entra ID architecture for a healthcare organization operating across two independently regulated entities post-merger. B2B cross-tenant access design and implementation.
39-application Okta SSO deployment spanning clinical, financial, and operational systems. Included MFA enforcement, SAML/OIDC integration, and lifecycle automation.
SMBs large enough to have real technology complexity but not large enough to justify a full-time CIO or CTO on their payroll.
Post-acquisition technology integration, M&A diligence remediation, or a major platform migration that needs executive oversight.
HIPAA audit, SOC 2 customer requirement, or PCI compliance gap that needs experienced implementation support — not just policy documentation.
Ongoing technology leadership — 1, 2, or 4 days per month. Month-to-month, no long-term commitment. Best for ongoing strategic oversight.
Fixed-scope engagement with defined deliverables — migration plan, compliance framework, architecture document, or vendor selection. SOW-driven.
Start with a Layer8 Exit Readiness or Due Diligence assessment. If technology remediation is identified in the report, Layer8 Advisory executes the roadmap.
