Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Virtual CTO services for insurance companies and brokers.

What is a Virtual CTO and how does it work for insurance companies?

A Virtual CTO provides senior technology leadership and strategic guidance on a part-time or project basis rather than as a full-time employee. We work with your insurance organisation regularly to develop technology strategy, guide major decisions, oversee IT teams, and ensure technology supports your business objectives. You get executive-level expertise without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.

How much does Virtual CTO service cost for insurance providers?

Virtual CTO pricing depends on the level of engagement required and complexity of your organisation. Costs typically range from £2,000-£8,000 per month depending on time commitment and scope. This represents significant savings compared to a full-time CTO salary (typically £80,000-£150,000+ annually plus benefits). Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific needs.

Do you have experience with insurance-specific technology?

Absolutely. We specialise in insurance technology with extensive experience in policy administration systems, claims platforms, broker systems, aggregator integrations, and FCA compliance. We understand insurance workflows, regulatory requirements, and the unique challenges insurance organisations face with technology.

Can you work with our existing IT team?

Yes, we regularly work alongside existing IT teams providing strategic leadership, mentoring, and guidance whilst your team handles day-to-day operations. We can also help recruit, build, and develop IT teams if needed. Our role complements your existing resources rather than replacing them.

What size insurance organisation do you work with?

We work with insurance organisations of all sizes from small independent brokers to large insurance companies with multiple offices. Our flexible engagement models scale to meet your needs whether you're a small broker requiring occasional strategic guidance or a large organisation needing comprehensive technology leadership.

We ensure technology decisions maintain FCA compliance, meet PCI DSS requirements where applicable, and satisfy GDPR regulations. We can also help develop information governance policies and compliance technology strategies.

Do you help with InsurTech evaluation and partnerships?

Absolutely. We help insurance organisations evaluate emerging InsurTech solutions, assess partnership opportunities, and integrate innovative technologies into existing operations. We provide objective analysis to identify technologies that deliver genuine value versus marketing hype.

Can you assist with policy system and claims platform selection?
