Kadre is the fractional CIO and IT partner built for B2B SaaS companies. We handle the infrastructure, compliance, and tooling — so your team can stay focused on shipping.
The problem
You closed your Series A. Headcount is about to double. An enterprise prospect just sent a 200-question security questionnaire. And your "IT person" is still your most senior engineer spending 20% of their time on access requests.
This is the moment most SaaS companies realize that scrappy IT doesn't survive contact with real scale. The tooling, the compliance posture, the onboarding workflows — none of it was built for where you're going.
The real problem isn't the technology. It's that no one owns the strategy — and you're about to pay for it.
Your best product engineers are triaging Okta issues, setting up laptops, and answering "can you give me access to that?" — on repeat.
You're 90 days from an enterprise deal closing and just realized your access controls, audit logs, and vendor policies aren't audit-ready.
47 tools, 12 of which overlap, 6 that nobody uses, and a cloud bill that keeps climbing. Nobody owns the stack holistically.
A Fortune 500 prospect sent a security questionnaire. Nobody on your team owns the answers — and the deal is sitting in limbo.
What we do
We embed in your business, learn how it runs, and take ownership of the technology layer — from day-to-day support to SOC 2 readiness to the systems that let you onboard 30 people a month without breaking a sweat. One partner. Full coverage.
Strategic IT leadership without the executive price tag. We own your technology roadmap — vendor decisions, build-vs-buy calls, board-level reporting, and a compliance posture that keeps enterprise deals moving.
MDM, SSO, helpdesk, device provisioning, onboarding and offboarding — handled end-to-end. Your engineers stop fielding IT requests. New hires are productive on day one.
We get you audit-ready — access controls, audit logging, vendor management, security policies, and questionnaire support. Whether you're starting from scratch or cleaning up before an audit, we've done this before.
Workflow autonmation, network design, identity infrastructure, security hardening — we do the actual engineering work, not just the slide deck. AWS, GCP, Azure, Okta, Google Workspace.
Slack bots, approval workflows, internal tooling, AI-assisted ops — built for how SaaS teams actually work. We automate the toil so your team focuses on the things that matter.
Migrations, rollouts, tool consolidations, and system integrations — scoped, managed, and delivered. No surprises, no scope creep, no "the vendor said it would take two weeks."
Our approach
A lot of IT partners are incentivized to keep things complicated. Complex environments mean more support tickets. More tickets mean more hours. More hours mean you can never leave.
We're not built that way. SaaS companies move fast — your IT infrastructure needs to keep up without becoming a liability. We build for the company you're becoming, document everything, and make it easy to hand off. The clients who trust us with that are the ones who stay longest.
Every issue is a data point. We look for the pattern, fix the root cause, and make the same problem impossible to repeat.
No over-engineering. No bloated tooling. The simplest solution that solves the real problem and holds up as you grow.
We build for handoff and transparency. You should always know exactly how your systems work — not just us.
If something isn't the right fit, we'll say so. We'd rather be the partner you trust than the vendor you tolerate.
AI & Automation
Every vendor wants to sell you AI. Most will hand you a chatbot, call it transformation, and invoice you for it.
That's not what we do. We ask the question most consultants skip: what problem are we actually solving, and what's the cost of getting it wrong?
In regulated environments, unpredictable outputs are liability — not innovation. We design AI-assisted workflows with guardrails built in from the start: deterministic where it needs to be, auditable where it needs to be, and human-in-the-loop where the stakes demand it.
Custom Slack automations that cut repetitive ops work. AI-assisted triage that routes issues before they escalate. Knowledge tools that surface answers without burying your team in docs. The goal: reduce toil, cut costs, keep outcomes predictable.
A well-configured integration or a clean process redesign will outperform a bolted-on LLM every time. We're not here to chase trends on your dime. The result: systems that scale with your business — not your headcount, and not your risk.
Process
No onboarding gauntlet. No 12-week discovery phase. We move fast, learn your business, and start contributing quickly.
30–45 minutes. We learn about your business, your current environment, and what's getting in the way. No pitch deck.
We assess your infrastructure, tooling, security posture, and gaps. You get a clear picture of where things stand.
We define the engagement together — scope, cadence, and pricing. No vague retainers. No surprise escalations.
We get to work. You get a technology partner who knows your business and is always thinking one step ahead.
Who we work with
Usually at a moment of transition — a funding round, a first enterprise customer, a compliance requirement, or a scaling problem that's gotten loud enough to ignore. Sound familiar?
You just closed your round and you're about to triple headcount in 12 months. The scrappy IT setup that got you here won't survive what's coming. We build the foundation before the cracks form.
Your first Fortune 500 prospect wants SOC 2 Type II, a completed security questionnaire, and a data processing agreement. We've done this before — we get you across the line.
You have great engineers. They shouldn't be running IT. We take the access requests, device management, vendor wrangling, and compliance work off their plate — permanently.
Whether you're prepping for SOC 2, scaling past 50 people, or just tired of engineers fielding IT requests — let's talk. No sales process. Just a straight conversation.
