CIO / CISO strategic study: defining your IT and security roadmap

The study is aimed at any organization wishing to align its information system with its global strategy. For SMEs, it offers a structured method for defining clear priorities, streamlining tools and preparing for future developments (cloud, cybersecurity, AI). For ETIs and large groups, it enables them to optimize budgets, unify IT processes between entities and strengthen governance. For local authorities and public sector bodies, it is an efficient way to modernize their infrastructures, while complying with compliance and security requirements.

An IT audit is generally limited to a technical assessment and the identification of anomalies. It answers the question "where do we stand? A strategic CIO / CISO study, on the other hand, goes much further. It aims to understand why the IS works the way it does, what impact it has on performance, and how it can be improved. It integrates a human, budgetary and organizational dimension. It's a structured approach to transformation that enables us to move from observation to action, and to plan the IS for the next 3 to 5 years.

The final report includes:
- a detailed diagnosis of the state of the information system;
- a complete mapping of infrastructures, applications, processes and data flows;
- an assessment of digital maturity and security posture;
- a multi-year strategic roadmap;
- a budget plan with calculated ROI and TCO;
- and a monitoring dashboard with performance indicators.
These deliverables serve as the basis for your decisions, arbitrations and future investment plans.

The benefits are manifold: reduced costs linked to licenses, energy or the cloud; improved productivity thanks to streamlined tools; better security thanks to clearer governance; anticipation of regulatory and technological developments; and strategic alignment between business, IT and management. The companies supported by IT Systèmes have also noted improved decision-making responsiveness and a strengthening of internal confidence in the digital environment.

Yes, systematically. Security is at the heart of our methodology. We assess your security posture, your protection systems (firewall, EDR, MFA, SOC), your backup and disaster recovery procedures (PRA/PCA). Our recommendations are based on RGPD, ISO 27001 and NIS2 standards. We also propose gradual improvement plans to reinforce resilience without increasing operating costs.

Yes. The study can include specific strands on cloud migration (public, private or hybrid), data governance (RGPD, data quality, BI) and the adoption of AI in business processes. We analyze the feasibility, financial impact and security of these technologies before proposing a realistic trajectory. The aim is to modernize without over-investing, while maximizing added value for the business.

Each study is carried out by a multidisciplinary team, depending on requirements: a project manager, an IS architect, a CISO, a governance expert, a cloud consultant, etc. This combination guarantees a complete vision, from the technical to the strategic. All our consultants have recognized certifications and several years' experience in complex environments.

We are totally independent. We are not dependent on any publisher, manufacturer or integrator. This enables us to evaluate solutions objectively, according to your real needs. Our recommendations are based solely on consistency, sustainability and added value for your company. This neutrality guarantees sustainable technological choices, without dependency or hidden extra costs.

IT Systèmes offers comprehensive post-study support: assistance in choosing service providers, project supervision, implementation support, monitoring of indicators and roadmap adjustments. We can also act as outsourced CIO or CISO to ensure continuity of strategy. This follow-up phase ensures that the defined vision becomes reality, and that results are measured over time.
