About Northstar IT & Cyber Advisory Limited

---

Northstar IT and Cyber Advisory provides fractional IT and cyber leadership to UK SMBs and SMEs. Led personally by Carl Spencer, with 27+ years experience across IT services, telecoms and cybersecurity, we deliver board-level oversight of IT governance, cyber risk, AI readiness, supplier management and technology strategy, without the cost or commitment of a full-time IT Director.

Fractional IT and Cyber Director.

Most SMEs have reached the point where informal IT management no longer works, but where a full-time IT Director isn't justified. Northstar sits above your MSP, reports to your board, and provides the senior IT and cyber leadership your business needs, for a fraction of the cost.

Board-Level IT and Cyber Risk Review.

Most SME boards are making decisions about IT and cyber risk with incomplete information. Our one-off independent review tells you exactly where your business stands, covering governance, cyber exposure, supplier risk and commercial vulnerability, in plain English, without vendor spin.

AI Readiness and Advisory.

Your staff are already using AI tools, with or without your knowledge. Most SMEs haven't assessed the risks, established a policy, or identified where AI can genuinely help. Northstar provides independent AI advisory that cuts through the vendor noise and gives you a clear, honest picture.

Vendor Rationalisation and IT Spend Review.

Most SMEs are overpaying for IT, not dramatically, but consistently. Unused licences, auto-renewed contracts, duplicate tools. Northstar audits your full technology spend, identifies the waste, and puts you back in commercial control of what should be one of your most productive cost lines.
