Senior technology leadership for partnerships
where the partners are the IT committee — and that isn't working anymore.
Law firms. Accounting firms. Architecture and engineering practices. Consulting partnerships. The common thread: technology decisions are being made by partners who are brilliant at their practice area and understandably unequipped to evaluate cloud architecture, cybersecurity posture, or vendor contracts. Cavalier puts a senior technology advisor in that seat.

Client data protection
Attorney-client privilege. Accountant-client confidentiality. ITAR-controlled engineering data. Professional services firms hold some of the most sensitive data in business — and most have security programs that don't match the obligation. A fractional CISO fixes that.
Cyber insurance & compliance
Insurers are tightening underwriting for professional services firms. MFA, EDR, incident response, and security awareness training are now prerequisites for coverage. We close the gaps and give the insurer the evidence.
M&A integration
Professional services M&A is accelerating. Two firms merging means two email systems, two practice management platforms, two sets of client data, and two incompatible security postures. A CIO-level technology integration plan prevents the merger from breaking both firms' operations.
Technology governance for partnerships
The managing partner, the IT committee, and the part-time IT director — the governance structure that got you to 50 people won't survive 150. Cavalier designs the technology governance that scales with the partnership.
Professional services firms are Cavalier's home territory. The advisory model — principal-led, senior-only, pure advisory with no implementation conflicts — maps directly to how partnerships think about outside counsel. You wouldn't hire a junior associate to advise the firm on a bet-the-practice technology decision. Same principle.
