Fractional CIO, CTO & CISO
Mohammad has spent more than 25 years building, securing and leading technology in organizations where mistakes are costly: insurers, financial services, healthcare, non-profits and the public sector. He founded ABISOL so organizations without a full-time technology executive can still have one on their side.
Plenty of advisors know one layer of the stack. Mohammad's experience covers the whole lifecycle, so the advice holds up when it meets real systems, budgets and people.
How technology gets made
How it stays protected
How it is directed and funded
How change actually lands
Sectors: insurance, financial services, healthcare, non-profits and the public sector. In each of them, privacy, auditability and business continuity were part of the job.
A few examples from Mohammad's leadership roles before and alongside ABISOL.
Architected and delivered enterprise platforms serving more than 50 organizations, including a digital insurance rating engine built on microservices and hybrid cloud.
Digital transformation · Architecture · Insurance
Established and led cybersecurity programs aligned with OSFI B-13, ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0 and SOC 2. The work covered policy, controls and reporting to the Board.
Cybersecurity governance · Regulated environments
Led AI initiatives on Azure AI and Amazon services that classify documents and extract key information, making critical business processes in regulated environments faster and simpler.
AI adoption · Automation · Governance
Directed multidisciplinary teams across development, infrastructure, DevOps and project management, managing technology budgets of more than $5M.
Executive leadership · Delivery
Ten degrees and certifications in four groups, with what each group means for you.
Technology decisions framed as budgets, business cases and strategy, on a solid engineering foundation.
Vendor-neutral security depth, plus the governance and risk management Boards and regulators expect.
Disciplined control of scope, budget, schedule and risk, with operations and vendors held to clear service standards.
Practical cloud knowledge and current AI leadership training, applied to business decisions rather than hype.
Mohammad kept meeting organizations in the same position. Their technology and cyber risk had outgrown what an IT team or MSP is set up to lead, but a full-time executive hire didn't make sense yet. ABISOL fills that gap with senior leadership on demand.
Keeps systems running: tickets, devices, patching, backups. Essential, but not set up to own strategy or risk at the executive table.
Strategy, cyber risk, governance and delivery leadership, scaled to what you actually need. Executive judgment without an executive hire.
The right answer eventually for some organizations. Until then, it's an executive salary and a long-term hiring commitment.
ABISOL doesn't come in to replace your IT team. We come in to back them up, giving them direction, governance and an advocate at the leadership table.
Internal IT teams and MSPs are usually stretched keeping the lights on. They often lack the capacity, or the mandate, to set strategy, translate risk for the Board, or push back on a vendor.
Mohammad works above the ticket queue, alongside the people you already have. They stay in their roles and get stronger for it. If you lead the IT team, here is how we work with you.
An experienced advocate who makes the case for budget, staffing and priorities. Clear direction, and room to focus on the work they do best.
Clear requirements, agreed service levels and someone who understands the technical detail, so accountability runs both ways.
Plain-language reporting on risk, spend and progress. Every finding comes with its business impact, its priority and who owns it.
Every engagement has a named, experienced ABISOL lead from the first conversation through delivery, and you have a direct line to them throughout. As founder, Mohammad is accountable for the quality of ABISOL's work.
When the work needs extra capacity or a specialist skill, ABISOL brings in vetted experts from the ABISOL Expert Network. They work under the direction of your engagement lead, and ABISOL stays accountable for the result.
ABISOL doesn't resell technology, so advice is never tied to a commission. Before recommending anything new, ABISOL gets full value from the platforms and licences you already pay for. No lock-in.
Policies, documentation and decisions are written down and handed over, so your organization is stronger when the engagement ends.
Bring the decision, risk or initiative on your mind. The first conversation is no-obligation. It's for understanding your situation and whether ABISOL can help.
