Three disciplines.
One trusted partner.
Cigma delivers CTO-level technology leadership, CISO-level security governance, and end-to-end AI implementation — unified under a single retainer, with senior practitioners on every engagement.
CTO as a Service
Chief Technology Officer. On demand.
Most businesses reach a point where technical decisions are too consequential to leave to chance — but not yet at the scale that justifies a permanent senior hire. Cigma’s CTO-as-a-Service gives you board-ready technology leadership, full-stack delivery capability, and an experienced hand guiding your engineering — from day one.
“We don’t just set the strategy and leave. We sit in the room, make the decisions, and stay until the work is done.”
What We Deliver
Dont over pay for services you dont need. We scope each engagement around the level of leadership, delivery support, and time your business actually requires.
Typical Engagement Approach
Every business needs a different level of support. We tailor our commercial model so you only pay for the expertise, time, and delivery capacity you actually need.
Compliance Frameworks
Dont over pay for services you dont need. We shape security leadership support around your risk, maturity, compliance needs, and internal capability.
CISO as a Service
Cybersecurity leadership that earns board trust.
43% of UK organisations experienced a security breach in 2024. The question is no longer whether your business faces cyber risk — it’s whether you have the leadership in place to govern it. Cigma’s virtual CISO service delivers strategic authority and board credibility at a fraction of the investment.
“Your board needs a CISO who can explain your cyber risk in plain English and defend it under scrutiny. That’s exactly what we provide.”
What We Deliver
AI Implementation
AI that actually works in production.
52% of UK SMEs are planning AI within 12 months. Yet 46% of projects fail to deliver value — not because the technology doesn’t work, but because implementation lacks direction. Cigma takes your AI ambitions from boardroom conversation to operational reality.
“We’ve seen too many businesses spend on an AI project that ends as a demo. We build AI that runs in your business tomorrow.”
What We Deliver
Dont over pay for services you dont need. We scope AI engagements according to your use case, delivery pace, internal readiness, and the level of implementation support required.
Flexible by design. Rigorous by nature.
Three engagement models
Monthly Retainer
Our most popular model. A set number of days per month delivering ongoing leadership embedded in your business.
Fixed-Scope Project
Ideal for AI implementation sprints, security audits, ISO 27001 programmes, or transformation projects with a clear end state.
Combined CTO + CISO
Unified technology and security leadership. Ensures your tech strategy and security governance are joined-up from the start.
How we engage
From first call to first results — in weeks, not months.
A 30-minute conversation to understand your business and challenges. No sales pitch.
A clear, fixed-scope proposal within 48 hours. Transparent pricing, no hidden costs.
We begin within one week. Immediate immersion in your business and priorities.
Practitioners deliver. Regular updates, clear milestones, and measurable outcomes.
Most clients continue beyond the initial engagement. We build relationships, not transactions.
Not sure which service is right for you?
Most engagements begin with a free 30-minute discovery call. We’ll tell you what to fix first and lock in a plan. No commitment required.
