Practical security, written by people who actually run IT.

CTOLogix is a security-focused IT consultancy for businesses that are past the "set it and forget it" stage and not yet ready to hire a full-time CTO. We deliver the work, and we write down the thinking that informs it.

IT & security consulting that goes deep, not wide.

Six practice areas we actually deliver. If a request does not fit one of these, we will tell you who is better suited.

01 · Foundation

Microsoft 365 & endpoint security

M365 tenant hardening, Conditional Access baseline, Intune device policies, Defender configuration, mailbox auditing. The fundamentals that decide whether a phishing click is a Tuesday or a quarter-long recovery.

02 · Identity

Identity, auth & Zero Trust

IDP rollouts (Entra, Okta, Google), SSO and SAML setup, phishing-resistant MFA, AWS IAM hardening, privileged-access reviews, and Zero Trust architectures that fit a real business, not a vendor pitch.

03 · Cloud

Cloud & infrastructure review

AWS and Azure architecture reviews against well-architected best practices. Network segmentation, secrets management, logging baselines, cost-vs-risk trade-offs, and the cleanup plan to get from current to right.

04 · Audit Ready

SOC audits & audit preparation

SOC 2 readiness assessments, control mapping, evidence collection workflows, policy drafting, and remediation. We get you to "ready for the auditor" without buying a 50-vendor compliance stack.

05 · Leadership

Fractional CTO & IT maturity

Recurring senior leadership for businesses that need IT and security direction but not a $300k hire. Roadmaps, vendor decisions, board updates. Plus IT maturity assessments with a prioritized fix list.

06 · Direction

AI adoption & SaaS governance

Where AI helps your business, where it does not, and how to roll it out without leaking data or losing control. Plus SaaS inventory and access reviews so the apps no one remembers buying stop being a risk.

From the writing

Working notes, not thought leadership.

Articles for IT and security operators. Specific, prescriptive, honest about trade-offs. No fluff, no AI-generated filler.

How we work

Operators, not deck-makers.

CTOLogix is run by IT and security people who have spent years inside real environments. We have configured the policies, written the runbooks, and sat through the audits we now help clients prepare for.

Our engagements are short, scoped tight, and produce artifacts you can actually use after we leave. We work in your tenant, your repo, your runbook, not in a PDF.

  1. 01

    Specific over comprehensive

    A short list of the right moves beats a 90-page assessment no one reads.

  2. 02

    Implementation, not advice

    We will design the system. We will also configure it, document it, and hand it off.

  3. 03

    Trade-offs out loud

    Every recommendation comes with what it costs, what it breaks, and what we would do differently if you were larger.

  4. 04

    Your team owns the result

    We document so well that your next hire (or vendor) can run with it. No vendor lock-in, no opacity.

Engagements

Three ways to work together.

Pick the shape that fits the problem. We will tell you honestly if it is the wrong one.
