What we do

Six things we take responsibility for

We don't sell hours. Every engagement has one accountable person at IUXTA, a defined "done" and a price you know before we start. If you need something we don't do well, we'll tell you who does.

Guardrails

Board decision workshop

From technology uncertainty to decision readiness. A structured board or management session that builds ownership, buyer competence and risk understanding where the technology risk actually sits.

What you get
  • 2–3 working sessions with preparation and follow-up
  • Futureback: the desired state three or five years out, and SMART goals worked backwards from it
  • Appetite for technology-related risk, written so the board can adopt it and management can steer by it
  • Roles and ownership of residual risk
  • KPIs that are not cosmetic and that management can genuinely steer by and report on
  • A priority list for operational management
Fits
  • Boards and management teams that must ensure compliance with regulatory requirements such as NIS2, DORA or the AI Act
  • Those who want to know what risk they have actually accepted
  • New leaders inheriting an IT landscape they didn't order
What "done" looks like

A one-page risk appetite, guardrail set and SMART goals the board has signed – and a first quarter of KPIs reported.

Decided

Management advisory and interim leadership

When someone must own technology, cost and vendor risk for a period – with the mandate to clean up.

What you get
  • A senior advisor or interim CIO/COO with result responsibility
  • Review of contracts, sourcing and licences
  • Negotiation and renegotiation with vendors
  • Board reporting in the board's language
  • Recruiting or developing a successor
Fits
  • Companies in transition, acquisition or carve-out
  • Situations where a leader has left or is out of depth
  • Owners who want control before a sale
What "done" looks like

Decisions taken, contracts renegotiated, a successor in place – and a handover you can read.

Built

Compliance programmes, delivered

ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIS2, DORA and GDPR run as programmes with result responsibility. Not a gap report – a certification.

What you get
  • Programme management by a fixed method with measurable milestones – or by your own
  • Management system (ISMS/AIMS) built on our standardised template set
  • Technical controls implemented by our own engineers
  • Evidence collected continuously, not the week before the audit
  • Legal clarification through our technology-law partner
Fits
  • Companies facing demands from customers, insurers or regulators
  • Suppliers to critical infrastructure
  • Companies adopting AI that want ISO 42001 before anyone asks
What "done" looks like

Audit passed or supervisory readiness documented, with controls automated where possible.

Built

Cloud, workplace and security built right

Senior engineers who build it properly – and hand it over so you can run it yourselves.

What you get
  • Azure landing zones and infrastructure as code
  • M365, Intune, identity and devices
  • Certificate and security architecture
  • AI and automation on the Coldbyte rig
  • Network and datacenter, hybrid where it belongs
  • Project and change management when the delivery needs it
Fits
  • Companies with in-house IT that need senior capacity for a period
  • Companies being carved out or merged (tenant-to-tenant)
  • Companies that want to know what was built was built right
What "done" looks like

Documented, automated, handed over. Everything built can be rebuilt from code.

Followed through

Licences, Azure and FinOps under control

The same Microsoft licences you buy today – through IUXTA, at consistently competitive prices, from someone who actually tells you what to cut.

Own page on licences, Azure and FinOps
What you get
  • Microsoft CSP and volume licensing, and Azure IaaS/PaaS services
  • Licence review at start: what you have, what you use, what you can cut
  • FinOps model sized to you: budget, ownership, alerts
  • Quarterly cost review with finance and IT in the same meeting
  • Decision support on contracts, platform and consumption
Fits
  • Companies with 10–500 users running their own IT
  • Companies that have outsourced operations but own the risk and the bill
  • CFOs who want to explain cloud and licence cost to the board
What "done" looks like

A quarterly cost review and a licence count that matches headcount and actual use.

Followed through

Continuous visibility and readiness

Management should see the same picture as operations – every day, not at audit time. And someone should be awake when you're not.

What you get
  • Coldbyte in your own environment: visibility on security and deviations from good practice, mapped to e.g. ISO 27001
  • Arctic Wolf 24/7 SOC and incident response
  • Quarterly review with IUXTA where the signals become decisions
  • An incident plan with named owners
Fits
  • Companies without their own SOC
  • Companies that have outsourced operations and want to keep the provider sharp
  • Boards that have adopted guardrails and want to know they hold
What "done" looks like

Management sees the same picture as operations; incidents have an owner before they happen.

For management and boards

Have a coffee with Pål.

Thirty minutes, no slides. You tell us what keeps you up at night; we tell you honestly whether we can help – and who to call if we can't.

Or let Artem look for skeletons.

An hour on screen with whoever runs your environment. No installation, no access – just the questions that tend to surface what's waiting. You get a list; we get an honest conversation about it. If you want to go deeper afterwards, we do it with read access – by agreement.
