Lacking a 360O view across technology
Philip Mitchell, Chief Infrastructure Officer at The Hippodrome, talks about the 20+ business critical solutions ITHQ have delivered and continue to manage for this world-famous, multi-level entertainment favourite ...
The journey starts with detailed assessment, analysis, and scoring, followed up by a clear, action-oriented roadmap.
Rather than a simple snapshot, you gain a measurable, multi-year improvement plan.
VAST far exceeds the ROI of a typical consultancy assessment or static health check.
"SAFE from ITHQ is ... an evidence-based discussion with proportional outcomes based on business needs. Management can see exactly where [my budget's] gone, where the time and effort's gone ... We can basically prove: 'Look at the difference we've made.' The SAFE reports provide an independent view of our systems like Pen Tests and are 32 pages long: very useful in many regulation-centric scenarios.
The difference in what ITHQ has done for us as a company is just gigantic."

VAST is ITHQ’s strategic framework for understanding and improving technology across the areas that matter most to modern organisations. It combines SAFE for cyber resilience, PACE for IT operations, RISE for infrastructure, and FLOW for Data & AI under one strategic model: Visibility, Availability, Stability and Transmutability.
No. VAST a process, unique to ITHQ. We start with a detailed assessment, analysis, and scoring, followed by the creation of a clear, action-oriented roadmap. This process gives you an accurate picture of your current maturity, risk profile, and where to direct investment for the greatest impact. Through quarterly reviews, plus ongoing measurement and improvements, you are always ahead of risks, threats or the pressures of scaling.
VAST helps organisations understand technology maturity across cyber, infrastructure, IT operations and Data & AI, then turn that understanding into a practical improvement roadmap. We can't measure what we can't see. This 360-degree, 3D view of your business delivers clear scores across four key areas. VAST scopes your tech landscape and makes everything visible.
SAFE is the cyber resilience strategy within VAST. It stands for Strategy, Assessment, Frameworks and Execution and is used to assess and improve organisational cybermaturity. We understand your security posture, identifying risks and weak spots so you know exactly where to focus. SAFE makes everything secure.
RISE is the infrastructure strategy within VAST. It stands for Resilience, Integration, Scalability and Efficiency and helps organisations improve infrastructure maturity across cloud and hybrid estates. With the resilience priorities clear, we make environments robust, orderly and predictable. RISE makes everything stable.
PACE is the IT operations strategy within VAST. It stands for Performance, Automation, Continuity and Experience and helps organisations improve operational maturity and service quality. Once stability is achieved, we instil operational discipline and readiness, building accountability at every level. PACE makes everything perform well.
FLOW is the Data & AI strategy within VAST. It stands for Foundation, Literacy, Operationalisation and Wisdom and helps organisations assess and improve data and AI maturity. Resilient systems allow us to safely drive progress in areas like automation, advanced data, and artificial intelligence. FLOW makes everything smart.
VAST is suitable for any organisation seeking a clearer technology strategy, stronger maturity insight, better prioritisation and a more practical basis for investment and improvement. VAST reports help with executive buy-in, compliance, proof of returns, insurance policies and more.
Yes. One of the main outpus of VAST is a prioritised roadmap that connects findings to business-aligned action.
