Common questions

What should a CFO know about cybersecurity?

A CFO needs to understand the organization's cyber risk score, insurance posture, compliance gaps, and the dollar cost of inaction — not the technical details of encryption or firewalls. Board-level cybersecurity governance, quantified risk reporting, and defensible spending decisions are the CFO's domain. A vCISO translates technical risk into financial language so leadership can make informed decisions.

How do I know if my IT provider is overcharging me?

Run an independent IT spend analysis that benchmarks your contracts, licenses, and circuits against current market rates. Common red flags include bundled contracts that obscure per-service costs, legacy telecom circuits at outdated rates, unused software licenses still billing monthly, and service tiers that exceed your actual usage. Get IT Sense's no-cost IT Spend Analysis has helped firms find hidden savings of 20–38%.

How does Get IT Sense get paid?

Get IT Sense earns advisory fees paid directly by the client — never commissions, referral fees, or vendor kickbacks. This means our recommendations are based entirely on what fits your business, not what earns us the most. It's the same reason CCK Advisors saw a 38% cost reduction: we had no incentive to keep them overspending.
