FRACTIONAL CTO · SECURITY BY DESIGN
Senior Technology Leadership - Without the Full-Time Hire
I work with small business owners as a fractional CTO: making better technology decisions, fixing what's broken, and building a plan that actually holds together.
THE PROBLEM
Here's what most business owners don't find out until it's too late: the technology holding their business together was never properly built. It was assembled — one tool at a time, one workaround at a time — by people doing their best without a clear plan.
It works. Until it doesn't.
Maybe you already feel it: slow systems, duplicated effort, a data breach you're not sure you'd catch, vendors you're not sure you can trust. Maybe everything seems fine and that's exactly the problem — you haven't looked closely enough to know.
Either way, you don't need a $200,000 full-time CTO. You need someone who's seen this before, can tell you the truth about where you stand, and knows what to fix first.
That's what I do.
WHAT I DO
Three Ways I Work With Business Owners
Fractional CTO Leadership
Your part-time technology executive. I sit at the table with your leadership team, set the direction for your tech, manage vendors and spend, and give your developers someone to report to who knows what they're doing. You get senior leadership without the senior salary.
Cybersecurity and Risk
I've run 150+ security assessments and built programs protecting organizations up to 6,000 people. I find what's actually at risk in your business, tell you the truth about it, and give you a prioritized plan your team can execute. No alarmism. No generic checklists.
AI and Technology Advisory
Most small businesses are either ignoring AI entirely or chasing it without a plan. I help you figure out where it can actually help, what it will cost, and what to do first. Straight advice — not a pilot project that goes nowhere.

Why Business Owners Work With Me
I've spent 30 years solving technology and security problems at the enterprise level. I've built security programs from scratch, run teams of 21 people, sat on industry councils, and presented to boards and have spoken internationally.
I work with small businesses now because that's where the gap is. Most SMB owners can't access this level of experience without hiring someone full-time or paying enterprise consulting rates. I've structured my practice to change that.
You get a straight answer, not a sales pitch for more services
Your team gets direction they can actually execute
Your security gaps get found before they become incidents
You get clear priorities: what to fix now, what to fix later, what to ignore
No long-term contracts required
Want a Straight Answer Before Committing to Anything?
Both of these are fixed-price, one-time purchases. No retainer. No discovery call required. Built on the same frameworks I used at Bell Canada and as VP of Corporate Security for a 6,000-person organization.

ABOUT BLAKE
Why Listen to Me
I'm not a generalist consultant who picked up a security certification. I spent seven years at Bell Canada designing and running security assessments — over 150 of them — and built the methodology the team still uses. After that, I took a VP role running corporate security for a 6,000-person organization across multiple sites: physical security, information security, compliance, emergency management. All of it.
I started Viewson because small businesses are making expensive technology decisions without anyone qualified at the table. A bad vendor choice, an unpatched system, a tech stack that can't scale — these aren't small problems. They compound.
If you want someone who will tell you the truth about where your business stands and help you fix the right things in the right order, that's what I do.
