Why organizations pick ETTE for IT consulting
Advice in plain language

A roadmap and budget you can plan around

Built for nonprofits and associations
ETTE works with mission-driven organizations of roughly 10 to 150 staff. Nonprofit pricing is scoped during the proposal.
Strategy plus the hands to do the work
Advisory pairs with fully managed, co-managed or remote-only IT, including help desk and on-site dispatch in the D.C. area.
What IT consulting from ETTE covers
Most organizations call us when decisions outgrow day-to-day tickets: a system needs replacing, a funder or insurer sends a questionnaire, or the board asks how safe the data really is. ETTE gives you senior technology and security leadership for those calls, backed by documented environments from day one.
Advisory work is scoped as its own engagement based on cadence, decision rights and deliverables. It can stand alone or sit on top of managed IT, so the plan you agree on actually gets carried out.
- Virtual CIO: IT roadmaps, budgets, lifecycle planning and vendor decisions
- Virtual CISO: risk register ownership, policy development, vendor-risk review and audit coordination
- Evidence and questionnaire support for insurers and funders, organized around CIS Controls and NIST-style control families
- ETTE GuardRail security posture scoring with board-ready reporting
- Cloud and hybrid migration planning for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
- Backup and recovery planning with documented restore procedures and defined recovery-time and recovery-point targets
- Vendor-neutral AI strategy: find where AI is already in use, set governance, run a right-sized pilot
- Quarterly service reviews with plain-language operational reporting
