About TVG

We've actually been in your chair.

TVG wasn't founded by consultants who studied IT from the outside. It was built by practitioners who ran IT operations, managed real budgets, and made high-stakes technology decisions with real consequences — for over two decades. We serve as an extension of your leadership team: the experienced advisor who has been in your chair and isn't going anywhere.

What drives TVG

Three commitments that shape every advisory engagement.

Service Above Self

Veteran-owned and operated. Service above self isn't a tagline — it's the standard we hold ourselves to in every engagement. We protect our clients' interests like they're our own, because that's the only way we know how to operate.

Honest Over Comfortable

We tell you what we see — clearly and in plain business language. If a decision looks sound, we'll say so. If something warrants concern, we'll surface it. Straight answers are the only kind we give.

Advisory-First, Always

TVG's obligation is to your outcome — established by your retainer before any solution is ever discussed. That sequence is what makes honest advisory possible, and it's the foundation every TVG engagement is built on.

Chris Sliga

Founder & CEO, TVG — The Vircios Group

I founded TVG after spending over two decades leading IT operations across financial services and other complex environments. I've lived every challenge my clients face — cybersecurity threats, regulatory compliance, disaster recovery, budget constraints, vendor management, and the constant pressure to do more with less.

My approach is shaped by experience, not theory. I've made technology decisions with real money, real consequences, and real accountability. I've also made mistakes — and learned from every one of them. That combination is what makes honest advisory possible.

I started TVG to provide the kind of guidance I wished I'd had access to throughout my career — an advisor who understands both the technology and the business, has no sales agenda, and tells the truth even when it's uncomfortable. That's the only way I know how to operate.

20+ years leading IT operations in complex, high-stakes environments
Built and tested disaster recovery programs that perform under real conditions
Navigated hundreds of vendor relationships — the good, the bad, and the ones I should have fired sooner
Led teams through system migrations, security incidents, and audit preparations
Deep expertise in cybersecurity, GLBA, FFIEC, HIPAA, and operational compliance
U.S. Army veteran — service above self is not a marketing line
Two decades means I've made mistakes. I'll tell you about those too.

The TVG difference

Why executives engage TVG.

We've been in your chair

TVG advisors have run IT operations, managed real budgets, and made high-stakes decisions with real accountability. The advice comes from experience — not a textbook.

Advisory obligation comes before any product

Your retainer establishes our obligation to your outcome before any vendor conversation begins. We don't have a product to sell you. We have a standard to meet.

Judgment, not just access

You can Google a vendor. You can ask AI to compare them. What you can't do is Google what it's actually like when their implementation goes off the rails at 11pm, who actually answers the phone, or what their contract looks like when you try to leave. Twenty years of those moments is what TVG brings to the table.

Implementation oversight, no markup

TVG stays through go-live. Your chosen provider delivers — we make sure they do. Oversight is included in your retainer. No project fees. No markup.

We translate complexity into decisions

Technical jargon into business impact. Vendor promises into realistic outcomes. Risk assessments into decision frameworks. That's the translation that matters.

We'll tell you when you don't need anything

When a solution isn't warranted, we'll say so clearly. The value of honest advisory is that it works in both directions — and that's what earns the relationship.
