Modern IT services. Human expertise.

We carefully craft your IT, Cyber Security, Risk, & Compliance

A dark hallway with illuminated geometric light patterns on both walls, creating a symmetrical design.

We’ve had it with the traditional Managed IT & cybersecurity model.

Service providers favor race-to-the-bottom tactics, rigid playbooks & low-effort partnerships, only setting businesses up for failure with these “solutions.”

Whether it’s managed, co-managed, or fractional, Mantle Group stands with you, our partners, and against cookie-cutter services driven by inexperienced staff and upselling disguised as strategy.

Leaders like you deserve the true judgment and accountability they ask for.

We want better— we know our clients do, too.

We’re here for the outliers who want a finely tuned, integrated digital and cybersecurity practice to stand as a key pillar of their organization’s success.

What We Do

We provide on-demand technology leadership, owning your entire technology function—IT Director, CTO, CIO, CISO—when you require senior decision-making without the commitment of a full-time hire.

How We Work

Mantle Group works best when we’re brought in early — or after the default model has stopped making sense.

Our work centers on:

Correcting structural failures.

We address root causes, not symptoms. Most failures stem from structural issues—poor architecture, unclear ownership, or misaligned incentives. We identify and correct these at the source.

Designing systems that hold up.

We design for longevity. Systems and decisions shaped by your actual constraints, operating model, and growth trajectory—not vendor preferences or implementation convenience.

Building security people can operate.

We build programs your organization can sustain. Security and compliance frameworks grounded in how you really operate, with clear accountability and realistic expectations.

Giving you a real, dedicated consultant.

We remain accountable throughout. From assessment through implementation, you work with the same people who understand your context and stand behind their recommendations.

Who We’re a Fit For 

✓ You’re a Good Fit If:

  • You need senior technology or security operators with a blend of strategy, business, engineering, and execution skills without a full-time executive hire.  

  • You're navigating critical milestones, including M&A, IPOs, regulatory compliance, and major tech transitions.  

  • You value expertise that translates technical decisions into business impact for Boards, investors, and regulators.  

  • Your organization has outgrown standard managed IT or generic security consulting.

  • You want a trusted partner who understands your context and is available when needed.  

✘ You’re probably Not a Fit If:

  • You view IT and cybersecurity as back-office functions rather than strategic pillars. 

  • You’re focusing on cost reduction over capability enhancement.  

  • You prefer vendor relationships that are distant and involve little strategic involvement.  

  • You seek quick fixes for structural issues needing fundamental redesign.  

  • You require offshore helpdesk services or rotating junior teams.  

  • You need 24/7 NOC coverage and high-volume ticket processing; we offer strategic expertise, not high-churn MSP services.  

If you’re questioning whether your IT environment is truly sound—or simply holding together —now’s the time.

Mantle Group offers decades of combined technology leadership experience as operators, not just consultants. We recognize your business needs, which guide how we work with you.

What This Looks Like in Practice

We’re called in when:

Standard IT or security consulting isn't meeting your needs.

Your team is facing a critical transition (M&A, IPO, regulatory compliance) requiring senior strategic guidance. 

The current tech environment functions, but lacks confidence in scalability and resilience.

You need clarity on what's truly broken vs. what's just a waste of time.

You’ll know it’s working when:

Leadership understands technology risks and trade-offs in business terms. 

Your team shifts from firefighting to long-term building. 

Audit, compliance, and regulatory issues become manageable.  

You have confidence infrastructure will support growth.

That’s when the work actually works.

"Thanks to the depth and breadth of their team's experience, our Mantle partner has served successfully as a hybrid CISO and CTO for us on a fractional basis. He takes a holistic approach that covers everything from technical roadmaps to hands-on advisory. His ability to act as both a builder and a true business partner has been vital for our growing IT services business. He is exactly the kind of leader we need to scale effectively."
