About Us
Strategic IT & Cyber Leadership for Modern Organisations
About 10 Three
10 Three is a Birmingham-based consultancy providing strategic leadership across IT, cybersecurity, governance and compliance. We help charities, SMEs and technical organisations build the structure, confidence and resilience they need to operate securely and effectively in a fast-changing digital world.
Organisations come to us when they need stronger direction — not another helpdesk or ticketing queue. We provide the experience of a virtual CIO, virtual CISO and Governance Lead, without the cost or commitment of a full-time leadership hire.
Our work focuses on strategy, risk, identity, governance and assurance. We ensure that technology supports your mission, aligns with your goals and meets your compliance obligations.
Our Mission
To give organisations clear, reliable and independent leadership across technology and cyber security — enabling them to operate with confidence, meet modern governance requirements and reduce risk without unnecessary complexity or cost.
What Makes Us Different
A unified leadership approach
We bring together vCIO, vCISO and governance capabilities under one service. Instead of juggling multiple providers, you gain a single partner responsible for aligning technology, cyber and compliance.
Practical, real-world guidance
We specialise in working with charities, SMEs and organisations with limited internal IT capacity. Our priority is clarity and practicality — advice that makes sense, reduces risk and can actually be implemented.
Independent & vendor-neutral
We do not resell products or push specific vendors. Our recommendations are based solely on what is right for your organisation, your scale and your goals.
Strong governance without unnecessary complexity
We focus on outcomes: CE/CE+ readiness, ISO 27001 alignment, identity governance, secure device management, risk reduction and audit-ready evidence. We avoid bureaucracy for its own sake.
Deep experience across technology and cyber
Our background spans IT strategy, cloud migrations, identity management, risk management frameworks, MSP oversight, ISO/PCE audits, Cyber Essentials+, and operational security.
Who We Work With
We support organisations across the UK who:
– Need leadership but not full-time IT/Cyber hires
– Are preparing for Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001
– Have complex user groups (staff, volunteers, contractors)
– Want better governance or accountability from existing MSPs
– Are planning digital transformation or cloud/migration projects
– Need independent oversight of vendors and security controls
– Require support during audits or certification reviews
