The person on the hook for the outcome.

Why Twin Networks exists.

Chris founded Twin Networks in 2006 after watching the same pattern repeat across too many regulated firms: leaders who knew their business cold but were being sold cybersecurity, cloud migrations, and compliance frameworks by vendors who'd never sat in their shoes. The firms that thrived were the ones with someone in the room who understood both — the technology and the business it served. The firms that struggled were the ones whose IT provider thought "Platinum Plan" was the answer.

Twin Networks was built to be the other kind.

How the relationship works.

Every engagement starts with the Twin Networks team in your corner. Not an account manager. Not a salesperson. The person whose name is going to be on the quarterly audit, the compliance certification, and the 4pm-Friday phone call when something isn't right.

The fractional roles other firms fragment across four people — CIO, CTO, CISO, CCO — Chris embodies as one relationship, carried by a full team of engineers, analysts, and specialists. Strategy and execution in the same hands, accountable to the same outcome. No handoff. No translation layer. No gap between what gets promised and what gets built.

He sits in your leadership meeting. He reads your board materials. He knows which regulator you're worried about and which client relationship is fragile. And when the audit shows up, he's the one who walks in with you.

What Chris has spent over two decades learning.

The regulated world doesn't reward generalists. An RIA is not a healthcare practice is not a manufacturer holding CUI for the DoD. Each has its own regulators, its own evidence standards, its own language. Chris has spent over two decades becoming fluent in all of them, because his clients don't get to pick which rule applies on any given Tuesday.

The range matters. A law firm facing an AI governance question benefits from a steward who's already watched an RIA navigate the SEC's Reg S-P, who's already scoped a CMMC enclave for a defense supplier. Cross-industry fluency is how good judgment gets built. It's also why our clients refer us to their peers — because Chris doesn't need a six-month ramp to understand what they do.

We've had four IT partners over twenty years. Chris is the only one who's ever sat through an SEC examination with us. — Managing partner, RIA client

The book.

Chris is a co-author of From Exposed to Secure, a #1 Amazon bestseller and a practical guide for professional-services leaders navigating technology risk. The book lays out, in plain language, the questions leaders should be asking about their technology — and the answers a real steward should be able to give.

What you're really hiring.

You're not hiring a solo consultant who disappears between engagements. You're not hiring a menu of IT services dressed up with a nicer word. You're hiring Chris's judgment, carried by a full firm. The person in your leadership meeting is the same person whose team is on the phone at 4pm Friday. That's not a promise about availability — it's a structural guarantee that strategy and execution stay in the same hands, accountable to the same outcome.

It's the same arrangement you'd want from your outside counsel, your accountant, or your financial advisor. And for the same reason: the decisions that shape your firm deserve someone who's personally accountable for them.
