IT risk quantification and remediation execution, delivered against a transaction clock.
GroupA helps PE-backed companies identify the IT issues that threaten value, then execute the remediation needed to stabilize operations, reduce risk, and protect exit readiness.
Most portfolio companies carry IT risk that no one has actually quantified.
Platform sprawl, unclaimed licenses, unpatched environments, untested BCDR, and acquired entities with unknown security posture. By the time a sponsor asks, it’s already a diligence issue.
Most value-destruction in portfolio IT is not catastrophic — it is slow, documented nowhere, and invisible until a buyer’s consultant asks a specific question. By then the conversation has already cost multiple.
- IT spend misclassified and untracked against revenue
- Acquired entities inherited without security or license review
- SaaS and platform contracts renewing without optimization
- Cyber insurance carried against outdated risk profiles
- No executive-level view of what is actually exposed
A two-phase offer, built for the transaction clock.
Phase 1 produces the visibility. Phase 2 closes the gap. Most sponsors pick both; some start with Phase 1 to get a defensible baseline first.
IT Value Risk Assessment
A structured, time-boxed assessment that produces a quantified risk register, a prioritized remediation plan, and a board-ready view of exposure, cost, and opportunity. Designed to be credible to the sponsor, the CIO, and the buyer.
- IT spend, license, and vendor audit against revenue
- Security, identity, and BCDR posture review
- M&A integration and acquired-entity exposure
- Prioritized risk register with owner, cost, and timeline
Remediation & Readiness
GroupA executes the top-priority items against the register. Vendor renegotiation, platform rationalization, security remediation, and exit-readiness work — delivered by senior operators, not a staffing bench.
- Vendor and license renegotiation
- Platform consolidation and tenant cleanup
- Security controls and SOC 2 roadmap
- Exit-readiness documentation for diligence
What the first six weeks actually look like.
Phase 1 is time-boxed. Six weeks from kickoff to a board-ready risk register with quantified exposure and a sequenced remediation plan.
- Kickoff with sponsor, CFO, and interim or acting CIO
- Access granted to contracts, license inventories, and invoices
- Interview list built across IT, finance, and operations
- Current-state asset inventory started against acquired entities
- IT spend mapped to revenue and reclassified where mis-coded
- Vendor and license audit against entitlement and utilization data
- Security posture review: identity, endpoint, BCDR, cyber insurance
- M&A integration debt and acquired-entity exposure assessed
- Prioritized, quantified risk register produced — typically 25–40 items
- Each item tagged with owner, cost, timeline, and remediation path
- Exposure sized against revenue, EBITDA, and insurance limits
- Board-ready document delivered: exposure, cost, opportunity
- Phase 2 remediation plan sequenced against the hold period
- Artifacts handed to sponsor, CFO, and CIO in working form — not a PDF
What an assessment actually surfaces.
A sanitized view of findings from a live PE-backed engagement. Every number is referenced to an artifact in the risk register.
A short list of what we do not do.
Not an MSP
We do not run your helpdesk, manage endpoints, or sell managed services on a per-seat basis.
Not IT consulting
No 200-slide strategy decks. The output is a risk register, a remediation plan, and execution against it.
Not “digital transformation”
We don’t sell transformation as a narrative. We execute specific, measurable work against a transaction clock.
Not a vCIO shop
No fractional titles. Senior operators engaged on specific, scoped work with clear deliverables.
Once risk is quantified, execution is the harder problem.
Most of what the risk register surfaces is platform work. GroupA’s enterprise practice implements and optimizes the systems that carry the remediation — Workday, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Microsoft 365.
