About Teremark CIO
Teremark was formed by experienced CIO, CTO, and CISO professionals with a mission to deliver comprehensive technology leadership expertise to smaller and medium-sized firms. Most organizations of this size need seasoned leadership to derive value from their technology investments, however they simply cannot afford to hire a permanent C-suite technology leader with this level of experience. If they can afford it, they may not know where to start. We excel at helping our clients sort through the challenges of technology portfolios and technology leadership.
We provide flexible engagement options with highly-skilled C-suite technology leaders in the following roles:
​​
Chief Information Officer (CIO) – Strategic Planning, Financial Accountability, Program Delivery Execution, Operational Performance & Metrics, Results Management
​
Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – Strategic Technology Direction, Technology Architecture, Multi-year Roadmaps, Technology Innovation
​
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) – Cybersecurity Architecture, Security Operations, Security Policies, Vulnerability Testing, CEO/Board Reporting, FFIEC OCC/NCUA Compliance
At Teremark, we believe that no two organizations are identical, even within the same industry. Mission, operations, culture, and many other elements are unique to each individual organization. We approach each client engagement from this perspective. Regardless of your situation or technology leadership need, we will find ways to add value to your business operations. We thrive on helping the mid-market compete with larger competitors.
​​
We know that it is expensive and challenging to acquire effective, permanent CIO, CTO, and CISO leaders. Teremark exists to give you more options, to reduce your technology risk, and to help you harness the greatest value possible from your technology investments.
