Technology
you can
stand behind.

Sooner or later, someone asks who owns your technology or asks for proof that you're compliant. Newf makes sure you have the answer.

Sooner or later, someone asks.

Top five questions we help answer

  1. 01 / 05 The board asks

    “Who is making our technology decisions?”

  2. 02 / 05 A customer's security questionnaire asks

    “Who owns access, backups, and vendors?”

  3. 03 / 05 The auditor asks

    “Who reviewed this, and when?”

  4. 04 / 05 The underwriter asks

    “Can you prove it?”

  5. 05 / 05 Every one of them is really asking two things

    Who owns this? Can you prove it?

The thing most teams learn too late

Saying you're compliant is not the same as proving it.

Most growing organizations have the policies. What they don't have is a senior person who owns the decisions and a record of who reviewed what, when, and why.

So when the question lands, the answer becomes a scramble: last-minute evidence hunts, spreadsheets that are always out of date, and a consultant's binder that nobody has opened since the day it arrived.

Two divisions, one for each question

Division 01 · Newf Advisory

Who owns this?

Newf Advisory puts a senior CTO or CIO on retainer for companies that run on technology but have no technology leader of their own.

  • Fractional CTO and CIO
  • Vendor and roadmap decisions
  • Board-ready reporting

Division 02 · AlignSure

Can you prove it?

AlignSure is compliance software for healthcare, built inside Microsoft 365. Every obligation is tied to a named reviewer, and the evidence is ready for your auditors and underwriters.

  • HIPAA and HITECH
  • Regulatory calendar
  • Identity-bound evidence

Why the dog

Every compliance team deserves something warm and reliable in its corner.

The name comes from Cece, the family's Newfoundland.

Newfoundlands were bred to work alongside fishermen in the North Atlantic, hauling nets and pulling people out of cold water. They are loyal, patient, and steady under pressure, and their first instinct is to help.

That is the kind of company we set out to build: one that shows up when it matters, does the heavy lifting, and stays in your corner long after the contract is signed. Newf is built by two founders who have both stood on the hard side of an audit.

Meg Scherer, Co-Founder and CEO of Newf Technology

Meg Scherer

Co-Founder & CEO

Meg spent eight years as an early childhood educator before co-founding Newf, and she holds a master's degree from Columbia Teachers College. In a classroom, a rule nobody understands is a rule nobody follows. That became her product doctrine: compliance only works if the people doing it can understand it. As CEO, she leads product usability and design, so every workflow in AlignSure reads as if it were written for a person, not an auditor.

Spencer Scherer

Co-Founder & CTO

Spencer has spent his career running IT inside regulated organizations: litigation firms, a private equity firm, a construction group, and a HIPAA-regulated pathology software company. He knows the audit scramble firsthand, from the last-minute evidence hunts to the out-of-date spreadsheets to the consultants who left a binder behind and disappeared. As CTO, he builds the AlignSure platform and leads Newf Advisory's client work.

What we believe

  1. 01

    Operators, not consultants.

    We were the practitioners before we built the practice. We do the work ourselves and put every recommendation in writing.

  2. 02

    Evidence over assertions.

    We deliver reviewable proof that your team can walk through with an auditor, an underwriter, or a regulator.

  3. 03

    People first, always.

    You get someone who picks up the phone, knows your name, and remembers what you're dealing with.

  4. 04

    Built to prove it.

    We hold ourselves to the standard we ask of you. If it isn't documented, it didn't happen.

The next time someone asks

Have the answer ready.

Without it: the person who understood it all gives notice, the questionnaire sits unanswered, and an audit turns into three weeks of digging.

With Newf: someone senior owns the decisions, and the proof is already assembled when the question arrives.
