Optimize your business with the right technology.
We're the senior technology strategists businesses call before making their next big decision. AI readiness, compliance planning, cybersecurity strategy, and fractional technology leadership — without the big-firm price tag. Based in California, serving globally.
Strategy and hands-on execution
Senior-level guidance and delivery for businesses that need technology leadership without a full-time CTO hire.
AI Readiness & Strategy
Is your business actually ready for AI? We evaluate your workflows, tools, and infrastructure, then build a prioritized roadmap of practical use cases with measurable ROI sized to your budget.
AI Governance & Shadow AI
Your team is already using ChatGPT — with or without permission. We build acceptable-use policies, data classification rules, and NIST AI RMF-aligned guardrails so AI helps your business without creating legal or security exposure.
Compliance Readiness
SOC 2, CMMC, HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, and FedRAMP readiness. We run gap assessments, build remediation plans, and manage the entire readiness program through audit — with PMP-certified project management keeping scope, schedule, and stakeholders on track. We help you prepare, plan, and get audit-ready. Already have ISO 27001? We map your existing controls to accelerate the process.
Cybersecurity Advisory
Risk assessments, vulnerability prioritization, security architecture review, and incident response planning. Strategic security guidance from practitioners who have built and operated secure environments.
Fractional CTO / CIO
Technology roadmaps, vendor evaluation, team hiring guidance, board-level reporting, and PMP-disciplined program oversight. All the value of a senior IT exec at a fraction of the cost, on a monthly retainer.
Cloud & Infrastructure Strategy
Cloud migration planning, architecture reviews, cost optimization (the average business wastes ~35% of cloud spend), and hybrid-environment design. Strategy first, implementation support as needed.
Principal-led consulting. PMP-certified delivery.
You work directly with senior principals who do the work. No account managers, no juniors, no runaround. Specialist bench for larger engagements.

What engagements actually look like
A few recent projects. Client details anonymized.
Long-term managed IT client, 60 employees, professional services
Started as a traditional managed IT engagement — helpdesk, patching, network monitoring. After a phishing incident exposed 3 user mailboxes and nearly compromised client data, we ran a full posture review, deployed MFA across 100% of accounts in 11 days, rebuilt the email security stack, and authored a tested incident response plan. Phishing click-through dropped from 14% to under 2% on the next simulated campaign. Zero security incidents in the 5 years since.
Regional healthcare group, 180 employees
Evaluated 27 clinical and administrative workflows for AI integration. Data audit surfaced 3 disconnected scheduling systems; we consolidated to one source of truth before recommending automation. Shipped 4 high-ROI use cases with an acceptable-use policy and 12-month roadmap. First automation cut insurance pre-authorization processing from an average 9 minutes to 3.5 minutes per case (≈60%), freeing roughly 22 staff hours per week.
B2B SaaS startup, 25 employees
Gap assessment against SOC 2 Type II criteria identified 23 control gaps across access management, change control, and incident response. Remediated all 23, replaced manual evidence collection with lightweight automation covering 80% of recurring controls, and shepherded the company through their first audit. Passed on first attempt with zero exceptions, unblocking 2 enterprise deals worth ~$640K ARR that had been gated on attestation.
20-person law firm, Sacramento area
Engaged after a near-miss ransomware incident. Posture review found cloud backups untested for 14 months and MFA stalled at 40% adoption. Restored tested backups within 6 days, drove MFA to 100% in 3 weeks, hardened email filtering (malicious-mail block rate up from 91% to 99.4%), and delivered a ransomware readiness plan. Firm qualified for a 22% cyber insurance premium reduction at renewal.
Defense subcontractor, 45 employees, manufacturing
CMMC Level 2 gap assessment against NIST SP 800-171 found 31 control gaps across access control, audit logging, and CUI handling. Authored the System Security Plan, built POA&Ms for every finding, and coordinated remediation across IT and shop-floor OT. A FIPS 140-2 vendor substitution added 3 weeks mid-engagement; client still entered C3PAO assessment on the original date and protected an active $4.2M DoD contract dependent on certification.
Based in California, serving globally
US compliance expertise for companies crossing borders.
California CCPA/CPRA Compliance
New cybersecurity audit rules took effect in 2026 with mandatory attestations phasing in by revenue through 2030. We help California businesses get audit-ready before deadlines hit. For SaaS companies eyeing the federal market, we also advise on FedRAMP 20x readiness — the new streamlined path to federal authorization.
International Compliance Advisory
Companies across Southeast Asia and the Middle East selling into US markets need SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC compliance to close deals. We've worked on the ground in both regions and understand both sides of the compliance bridge. Already ISO 27001 certified? We map your existing controls to SOC 2 to accelerate your timeline.
Optimizing business with technology since day one.
Premier Technology Solutions is a consulting-first technology strategy firm based in California, serving clients globally.
We started in technology services in 2015 as a managed IT provider. We have built networks, migrated servers, recovered data, and solved the technology problems small businesses run into. That depth is what makes our consulting valuable.
Today, we focus on what businesses need from senior technology strategists: grounded AI strategy, compliance readiness that does not require a Big Four budget, cybersecurity guidance from people who have built secure systems, and fractional leadership that gives you a CTO without the $300K salary.
With 20+ years of combined hands-on experience across IT, software development, DevOps, product management, electrical engineering, and project management, we bring deep expertise to every engagement. When you hire PTS, you work directly with the people who do the work.
Engineering & Delivery
Every engagement runs on structured project management with defined scope, schedule, milestones, and deliverables. Compliance programs, infrastructure projects, and multi-month remediation efforts are managed with the same discipline as a utility-scale engineering project. This is why PTS engagements ship on time.
Technology & Security
Software development, DevOps, product management, cybersecurity architecture, and compliance program design. We evaluate your technology landscape, identify risks and opportunities, and build the strategy.
Our Bench
For larger engagements, we bring in vetted specialist subcontractors. You approve every team member before they join your project. All subcontractors work under PTS NDAs and our direct oversight.
From first call to results
Every engagement follows a clear process. No surprises, no scope creep.
Discovery call
Free 30-minute discovery call. We learn about your business, your technology environment, and what's driving the engagement. If we're a fit, we scope it. If not, we tell you who is. All engagements are covered by mutual NDA.
Assessment
We evaluate your current state against the relevant framework — whether that's AI readiness, SOC 2 controls, CMMC requirements, or cybersecurity posture. You get a written report with findings and a prioritized roadmap.
Remediation
We help you close the gaps. Every remediation runs under PMP-certified project management with a defined scope, timeline, milestones, and deliverables. Policy creation, architecture changes, control implementation, vendor coordination, and staff training. We bring in specialist subcontractors when the project needs it.
Validation
For compliance engagements, we shepherd you through the audit or assessment process. For AI and strategy work, we measure results against the original roadmap and adjust. You get ongoing support as needed.
