Understand where you are. Surface risk. Create clarity.
When you suspect technology is holding your business back, we deliver the practical business confidence you need to move forward.
Is technology holding your business back?
You know something isn't quite right. Maybe it's the projects that take longer than they should; the systems and unknown risk that nobody can fully explain anymore; the AI tools that have appeared across the business without anyone deciding whether they should be there.
Control is about getting clarity on where you stand today, and what's holding your business back.
Get an honest opinion before you make any decisions
Technology should not be a source of uncertainty, complexity or frustration. This is why, before we recommend anything, we start by helping you to regain control. This means:
- Understanding where you are today
- Surfacing risk
- Creating a clear, honest baseline you can trust
No assumptions. No sales pitch. Simply a straight answer on where you really stand, because with this knowledge, you are better equipped to make decisions, respond to change, invest with confidence and pursue growth opportunities.

Technology Health Check
The straightforward technology risk assessment leadership teams can rely on, because it brings your systems, architecture, team, spend and governance, into a single report with prioritised recommendations you can act on today.
AI Opportunity and Risk Assessment
Discover how AI is actually being used across your business. Then set out the real opportunities for where it offers genuine value, understand the risks it introduces and get a simple framework that helps you move forward safely.
“When we embarked on an aggressive growth strategy, we hadn't fully accounted for the role technology plays in facilitating that growth. Building a healthy pipeline and valuable services wasn't the issue. It was the manual processes and endless workarounds that slowed progress. True9 told it to us straight. Our current systems were no longer fit for purpose. And their recommendations aligned with our growth strategy. It's the partnership we needed from day one.”

Frequently asked questions
How can we make confident technology decisions as a leadership team?
It starts with control and clarity. Once you understand where you stand today, from your systems and risk exposure to how AI is being used across the business, you can make decisions with confidence instead of guesswork.
How do we get leadership visibility over business technology risk?
A Technology Health Check can give you the visibility you need. We take a structured look at your technology landscape, from your systems and architecture through to your team, spend and governance. After around four weeks, you'll have:
- A clear view of your technology landscape, what you have today and what it's costing you.
- An assessment of risk and technical debt, and where attention is needed first.
- A view of how decisions are currently being made, and where delivery may be slowing down.
- A prioritised set of recommendations, so you know what to tackle next.
- A concise summary you can share with leadership or the board.
What are the signs my business technology needs a health check?
The signs usually fall into three groups.
Visibility and control: delivery feels slower than it should but nobody can explain why, there's uncertainty around platform risk, decisions get made without a full picture.
Operational friction: teams rely on manual workarounds, systems don't talk to each other properly, simple tasks take longer than they should with staff frustration growing.
Growth challenges: systems no longer fit how the business operates, technical debt has quietly increased, growth plans are being constrained by legacy system problems.
What do we do about unapproved AI use in the workplace (shadow AI risk)?
It's a huge problem. Over half (55%) of employees admit to using AI tools that haven't been approved, and 1 in 10 admit to putting sensitive information into an AI platform, despite understanding the risks.
Different teams experiment with different tools, some sanctioned, some not, and it quickly becomes hard to see what's being used, where your data is going and what that means for compliance. An AI Opportunity and Risk Assessment helps you to see the full picture.
How do I assess AI adoption risk for my business?
We keep it focused and practical, working alongside your team without disrupting day to day activity:
- Discovery: we speak to key stakeholders to build a clear picture of how AI is currently being used across the business.
- Assessment: we review risk, opportunity and governance gaps to see where attention is needed.
- Recommendations: we bring it together into a clear set of next steps, including a simple framework for adopting AI safely.
