Fractional IT Services
it Expertise when you need it.
Whether you're a growing agency, a research program in transition, or a mid-sized enterprise with demanding tech needs, CriticalTilt delivers senior-level IT guidance, architecture, and operations—fractionally.
We embed deeply, move fast, and operate like we’re already on your team. No fluff. No handoffs. Just high-value execution backed by decades of secure IT and cyber experience.
Scale smarter with embedded it leaders
You need someone who can make decisions—not just take tickets. But full-time CTOs, CISOs, and infrastructure architects are expensive, hard to find, and difficult to retain.
That’s where we come in.
Our fractional IT services give you access to cleared, senior-level engineers, architects, and strategists who can lead projects, guide modernization, and drive secure outcomes—without the long-term headcount.
We’re not consultants. We’re a partner with skin in the game.
