Brisbane · Fractional CIO
Fractional CIO in Brisbane: technology leadership without the full-time salary.
Brisbane organisations that have outgrown ad-hoc IT, but don't need (or can't yet justify) a full-time chief information officer, can retain a fractional CIO: one accountable executive who sits in your leadership and board meetings, owns technology strategy and cyber risk, and aligns ICT investment to commercial outcomes. Up to seven days a month, as a hybrid engagement: on-site in Brisbane and remote.
What is a fractional CIO?
A fractional CIO is a part-time chief information officer: an accountable executive who owns technology strategy, governance, cyber risk, vendor management and investment priorities for your organisation, without a full-time executive salary. Liltec is based on the Gold Coast and offers hybrid engagements (on-site and remote) in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and works remotely with the rest of Australia.
Technology strategy and governance
A technology strategy your leadership team understands, with the operating model, priorities and governance underneath it, so every platform and project decision traces back to a business outcome.
Cyber risk and the Essential Eight
Board-level accountability for cyber risk: benchmarking against the ACSC Essential Eight and ISO 27001, overseeing remediation by your IT team or provider, and reporting to the board in plain business language.
Vendor and investment management
Independent of technology vendors and suppliers. A fractional CIO challenges contracts, renewals and proposals, and prioritises technology investment when everything feels urgent.
Board and leadership presence
A seat at your leadership and board meetings as the accountable technology voice, reporting to the CEO and board on risk, spend and delivery.

Frequently asked questions
What does a fractional CIO do for a Brisbane business?
They act as your part-time chief information officer: owning technology strategy, governance, cyber risk, vendor management and investment priorities, and representing technology in leadership and board meetings. They work above your day-to-day IT function rather than replacing it.
Do you work in person in Brisbane?
Yes. Engagements are hybrid: on-site in Brisbane, combined with remote working in between. Liltec is based on the Gold Coast, and engagements can also run fully remotely for organisations elsewhere in Australia.
Do you have clients in Brisbane?
Yes. Clarity ICT, a Brisbane-based organisation, is a current Liltec client. Liltec works with Brisbane organisations through hybrid engagements, on-site and remote.
How much time does a fractional CIO retainer include?
Up to seven days a month on an ongoing retainer, with a six-month minimum term. Get in touch for pricing. Fixed-scope, fixed-price assessments such as the Technology Executive Diagnostic are available if you want to start smaller.
What's the difference between a fractional CIO and a fractional CTO?
A fractional CIO focuses on running and governing technology across the organisation: strategy, cyber risk, vendors, spend and board reporting. A fractional CTO focuses on building and technology direction: architecture, platforms, products and engineering. Many organisations need one or the other first; some need both outcomes from a single executive.
Is a fractional CIO cheaper than a full-time CIO?
Typically, yes: you pay for the days you need rather than a full-time executive salary and on-costs. Pricing is by retainer and depends on the days required, so speak with us for a quote.
