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.

Services

Four kinds of work, all serious.

We do fewer things and we do them well. If a request does not fit one of these, we will tell you who is better suited.

01 · Foundation

Microsoft 365 & endpoint security

Identity hardening, Conditional Access baseline, Intune policies, defender configuration. The unsexy fundamentals that quietly determine whether a phishing click becomes a Tuesday or a quarter-long recovery.

02 · Leadership

Fractional CTO

Recurring senior leadership for businesses that need IT and security direction but not a $300k hire. Roadmaps, vendor decisions, architecture calls, board updates, hiring loops.

03 · Visibility

SaaS governance & IT maturity assessments

Find the apps no one remembers buying, the access no one remembers granting, the controls that exist on paper only. Then a prioritized plan to fix what matters.

04 · Direction

AI adoption strategy

Where AI helps your business, where it does not, and how to roll it out without leaking data, losing control, or burning a year on a vendor that sells decks instead of value.

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.
