IT Consulting Washington, DC — Nonprofits & SMBs

Advisory sized to your organization

Most DC nonprofits and small businesses can't justify a full-time CIO, but every one of them makes CIO-level decisions: what to budget, what to retire, how to answer a board's security questions. ETTE fills that gap with virtual CIO and virtual CISO engagements — senior people who own your roadmap, budget, and risk posture, not a rotating bench of consultants.

What consulting engagements cover

Technology roadmaps and multi-year budgets; vendor and contract reviews; security policy and risk ownership; audit and questionnaire evidence; and governed AI strategy for organizations that want the benefit without the exposure. When a DC nonprofit took on a Department of Defense contract, ETTE advisory work led the buildout of a DFARS-aligned environment from scratch.

Consulting that can execute

Advice that ends at a slide deck doesn't change anything. Because ETTE also runs managed IT for DC organizations, the same team that writes the roadmap can implement it — and is accountable when it's measured against reality.
