Technology problems made clearer, calmer and easier to move forward.
ClearHorizon IT helps regulated organisations understand their technology risk, improve cyber and compliance maturity, put sensible governance around AI, and get difficult digital work moving again.

- Cyber, AI governance & delivery
Most technology problems are not really about the technology. They are about unclear ownership, poor decisions, supplier noise, weak controls, or teams being asked to deliver without the right structure around them.
ClearHorizon IT helps make that situation easier to understand, easier to manage and easier to move forward — with a senior pair of hands that has done the work before.
You probably don’t need another strategy document.
You may need someone to help work out what is really going on, what matters first, and how to move it forward. These are the situations where a short call usually pays off.
- 01IT leadership is missing, stretched or in transition.
- 02Cyber risk is unclear, fragmented or hard to explain to the board.
- 03AI use is moving faster than the policies and guardrails around it.
- 04Supplier costs or contracts need a proper challenge.
- 05A transformation project has stalled or quietly drifted.
- 06The board needs a plain-English view of risk, priority and next steps.
Five things I help with — explained plainly.

Interim IT Leadership
Useful when the IT function needs senior direction, the team is stretched, or decisions are being delayed because ownership is unclear.

Cyber Security & Compliance Maturity
I help organisations work out where their cyber risk actually sits, what needs fixing first, and how to move towards Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 or stronger internal controls — without turning it into a box-ticking exercise.

AI Governance & Responsible Adoption
I help leadership teams put sensible guardrails around AI, so staff know what they can use, what they should avoid, and where the real risks sit.

Digital Transformation Leadership
I help recover technology projects that have lost momentum, bring structure to delivery, and make sure change lands with the people who actually need to use it.
These aren’t abstract consultancy claims. They come from real delivery across regulated environments.
Hands-on across infrastructure, service, leadership and transformation — not theory.
Healthcare, diagnostics, MedTech, education, fintech and membership bodies.
Microsoft contract negotiation and IT structure standardisation across regulated organisations.
Multiple ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus audits passed clean, including CE+ from a standing start.
Where this work tends to land best.
Regulated organisations where the stakes are real, the constraints are honest, and the answer is rarely just more tooling.

A senior pair of hands — used to sitting between the board, operations and the technical team.
I’m Matt Woollett. I’ve spent 25 years in IT and the last 15 leading technology in healthcare, diagnostics, MedTech and other regulated environments. My job is usually to listen carefully, work out what is actually going on, and help the organisation get moving again — without drama and without selling a methodology.
I’ll challenge where it’s useful, stay quiet where it isn’t, and try to leave things in better shape than I found them.
Matt brings a rare blend of creativity, intelligence and practicality. He understands how to align IT with organisational strategy and regulatory frameworks, and ensures ideas translate into real outcomes.
Matt played a pivotal role in strengthening cyber security capabilities and establishing a practical, robust security framework. He communicates complex security matters clearly and builds trust across the business.
Matt explained things clearly, made a stressful process calmer and is someone people can truly rely on.
If technology risk, cost or complexity is becoming difficult to explain, we can start with a short conversation.
No sales process. Just a practical discussion about what is happening, what may need attention, and whether I can help.
