Corporate Architecture
AI Governance & IT Security Advisory

You don't know what you don't know. That's the problem.

We help leadership teams at mid-market firms establish AI governance and surface the security and compliance gaps that keep them up at night — delivering a clear roadmap in 90 days, without adding headcount.

The Gap Nobody Is Talking About

Your MSP or internal IT team keeps the lights on. That's what they're built for. What they can't tell you is what AI tools your people are using without authorization, whether your security posture would survive a client audit, or whether your technology decisions are aligned with where the business is going.

That's not a criticism of your IT support. It's just not what they're built for. Hobbs Consulting Group sits above the day-to-day as an independent, vendor-neutral advisor — bringing 30+ years of regulated-industry experience to the questions that keep business leaders up at night.

Vendor-Neutral

No conflicts of interest. Ever.

Clarity in 90 Days

A clear, prioritized roadmap — not a never-ending engagement.

Strategic Consulting
Our Capabilities

What We Help You Get Right

From AI governance and security posture to cloud strategy and compliance readiness — we identify the gaps and deliver the roadmap.

Strategic IT Planning

Aligning technology decisions with business goals. Budget clarity, vendor oversight, and a long-term technology vision that actually makes sense for your firm.

Infrastructure & Operations

Independent assessment of your IT infrastructure and operations. We identify what's working, what's not, and what the priorities are — without the MSP conflict of interest.

Security & Compliance

Security gap analysis and compliance readiness across HIPAA, PCI, ISO, and emerging regulatory frameworks. We surface what leadership doesn't know exists.

Cloud Strategy & Migration

Proven cloud migration strategy, primarily Microsoft Azure. Right-sized, cost-conscious, and built around your business needs — not a vendor's upsell.

AI Governance & Strategy

Establishing the policies, oversight, and controls your firm needs before AI use becomes an AI problem. Because your people are already using it — the question is whether you know what they're doing.

Vendor & MSP Oversight

Independent management and accountability for your vendor relationships — including your MSP. We make sure SLAs are being met and you're not paying for things you don't need.

1

Assess & Audit

Deep-dive analysis of your current technology posture — AI exposure, security gaps, compliance readiness, and infrastructure alignment.

2

Gap Identification

Surface the risks and vulnerabilities leadership doesn't know exist. Translate them into business language, not IT jargon.

3

Prioritized Roadmap

A clear, actionable plan delivered in 90 days. What needs to happen, in what order, and what it will cost — so you can lead with confidence.

How It Works

Clarity in 90 Days

Most firms don't have a technology problem. They have a visibility problem. Nobody is asking the right questions — and the MSP isn't positioned to ask them.

The 90-day Tech Infrastructure Diagnostic is designed to change that. No systems access required. No internal IT drama. Just an independent set of experienced eyes on your technology posture, followed by a clear plan for what to do about it.

  • Independent — no MSP conflict of interest
  • No full-time hire, no long-term commitment required
  • Deliverable is clarity — a prioritized roadmap, not a proposal for more work
Learn how it works

The problem shows up everywhere.

  • Law firms: Attorneys are already using AI for drafting, research, and review. Client data is touching tools leadership never approved. Governance is overdue.
  • Accounting firms: AI tools in your practice create data exposure risks your MSP can't assess. We can.
  • Financial advisory & wealth management: Client data, fiduciary obligations, and regulatory scrutiny make security posture a board-level issue.
  • Engineering & architecture firms: Project data, IP, and complex vendor ecosystems create security exposure that grows quietly until it doesn't.
  • Marketing & advertising firms: Client data flows through dozens of platforms. AI is embedded in every workflow. Almost nobody has mapped the exposure.
