A sense of what we do

Anonymised by sector — security clients often prefer not to be named. Named references available on request.

Manufacturing & industrial · Portugal

Security and IT consultancy across business IT and shopfloor OT — assessment, OT/IT network segmentation and secure remote access for suppliers and maintenance.

360° support · Professional services

We act as their external IT department — identity and access hardening, reduced phishing exposure and a firm-wide awareness program.

Move2Cloud · a capability we run

Secure, identity-first migration from on-premises to Microsoft 365 and cloud — with MFA, conditional access and data protection built in.

Problems we solve

Modern risk doesn’t come from one place

Most incidents start with a person, an identity or a misconfigured cloud tenant — not exotic malware. We focus on the risks that actually hit SMBs and corporate teams.

Phishing & account takeover

Credential theft and business email compromise targeting your people.

Microsoft 365 misconfiguration

Excessive permissions, weak MFA and risky sharing across Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.

Weak identity & access control

No conditional access, dormant accounts and unclear who can reach what.

Ungoverned AI use

Employees pasting sensitive data into ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini without rules.

Compliance & audit pressure

NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR and enterprise security questionnaires you can’t answer yet.

Operational downtime

Ransomware, untested backups and remote access risk that can stop the business.

Why XKONSULTING

A focused partner, not a generalist IT shop

We deliberately specialise — and the standard we hold ourselves to comes from environments where getting security wrong was never an option.

  • Built on government-grade security — our approach to identity, access and hardening comes from 27 years across military, government and enterprise environments. Your business gets that same discipline, sized to fit.
  • AI-forward, not AI-afraid — we help you adopt Copilot, ChatGPT and Gemini safely, with governance — instead of banning them.
  • Boutique & senior-led — you work with experienced practitioners, not a ticket queue.
  • Microsoft-first — deep focus on Microsoft 365, Entra ID and the tools you already pay for.
  • Practical, not theoretical — outcomes, roadmaps and fixes, not just reports.
  • Transatlantic — supporting clients across Portugal and the United States.
