SGL Tech is a fractional CIO & CTO practice for government, healthcare, and financial services. We plan AI around your control environment from day one, so what you build survives security review, the auditor, and the board.
The full remit of a CIO and a CTO under one practice: architecture, operations, data, and security, with AI leading because that’s where the hardest decisions are right now.
Twenty years owning infrastructure, security, and compliance is why the plans pass review: we already think like the people who have to sign them off.
AI-led, built on enterprise foundations. Two decades operating where the stakes are highest. We have delivered across government, healthcare, and finance, and we build systems for the scrutiny that follows: security review, audit, and the board.
Every stalled AI initiative we see is stuck on one of a few honest fears. We answer them with systems we built and operate ourselves.
“AI is a slick demo, not a colleague.”
Grace is an autonomous engineering agent we built and supervise in our own production: cost ceilings, human sign-off on anything destructive, and her work verified before it lands.

Our on-premise AI deployments run inference inside your walls. No accounts, no calls out, nothing leaving the premises. Custody stays with you.
See On-Premise AI →“Advisors who don’t use what they sell.”
Our entire practice runs on an AI-operated platform we built: governed, key-authenticated, fully audited. The advice comes from operating it, not describing it.
See SGL Tools →The five systems our practice runs on are documented in full on the Work page. The fastest proof is watching one of them do its job.
Each one runs in your browser and shows its working. Use them, disagree with them, and decide for yourself whether the conversation is worth having.
Does your AI policy hold up?
Drop in your written policy. It reports which of twelve NIST AI RMF control areas are actually evidenced in the text, and quotes the sentence and page behind every finding. The document never leaves your browser.
Run the AI Policy Check →Where does your technology actually stand?
Fifteen questions about how things are run day to day. Returns a maturity level across ten areas and the gaps worth fixing first, each with a specific next action. Three minutes, nothing to prepare.
Start the Readiness Check →What does the seat really cost?
The fully loaded annual cost of a full-time technology executive, built from published federal wage and benefit data. Every figure links to its source, and you can change any assumption you disagree with.

A fractional CIO/CTO gives you senior technology leadership, the strategic remit of a CIO and the build remit of a CTO, on a part-time or engagement basis instead of a full-time hire. SGL Tech spans both roles under one practice and stays accountable end to end, from strategy through delivery.
Common triggers are a major technology decision such as a platform migration, AI adoption, or a vendor selection, or preparing for an audit, investment, or acquisition, or needing executive-level direction without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire. If technology decisions are stalling or outpacing your in-house leadership, it is usually time.
Most advisors hand over a roadmap and leave; most managed providers keep the lights on but do not set direction. SGL Tech does both. We set the strategy and then build and run the systems we recommend, AI included, so the advice comes from production operating experience rather than a slide deck.
The business needs a CIO and the build needs a CTO, but splitting them creates handoffs and gaps. SGL Tech puts both under one accountable operator, backed by 20+ years of enterprise IT leadership, so strategy and delivery never drift apart.
SGL Tech supports on-premise and private AI deployments, so prompts, documents, and proprietary data never leave your environment. We design AI for regulated settings, aligned to standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and HIPAA. Custody stays with you.
We plan it around your control environment from the start: written scope, named approvals, evidence and logging designed in, and boundaries enforced in the architecture rather than in policy. The review then examines a system that was built to pass it.
Most engagements begin with a focused AI-Readiness Diagnostic, then move into a scoped fractional engagement sized to your needs: senior CIO/CTO leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. For specifics, email contact@sgltech.io for an executive conversation.
No sales pitch, just an executive conversation about your technology agenda, your AI readiness, and whether a fractional CIO or CTO engagement fits where your organization is headed.
