What AEGIS sees
when it looks at your business.

We don’t sell hours and we don’t sell software. We sell the visibility that comes before any decision worth making — and the operating partnership that closes the gaps after.

Step 1 · Assess

We look at six things.
Then we tell you what we found.

Most SMBs have never seen a complete picture of their own stack. AEGIS builds that picture in two weeks — across cloud, identity, network, endpoints, backups, and license entitlements — and hands you the ranked list of what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do first.

01

Identity

Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, M365, every place a credential lives.

02

Cloud

AWS, Azure, GCP. Accounts, IAM posture, public exposure, spend hygiene.

03

Network

Edge, segmentation, Wi-Fi, VPN. The shape of who can reach what.

04

Endpoints

Inventory, EDR coverage, patch state, privileged-account hygiene.

05

Backups

Schedule, off-site verification, restore-tested, encrypted at rest.

06

Licenses

M365, productivity stack, line-of-business SaaS. What you own vs. what you use.

Step 2 · Plan

Every finding gets a fix attached.
Every fix gets an owner and a date.

The output of an assessment isn’t a 200-page PDF. It’s a working roadmap your CFO can read and your engineers can execute.

  1. 01

    Ranked findings

    Each finding gets a severity, a business impact, and an effort estimate. No 200-page PDFs to ignore.

  2. 02

    Roadmap by quarter

    Critical fixes inside 14 days. High inside 60. The rest scheduled by quarter against business priorities.

  3. 03

    Owner per item

    Every fix has an owner — internal hire, AEGIS Remediation, or a vendor we vet.

  4. 04

    Quarterly review

    Standing meeting with the partners. What changed, what matters, what’s next.

Step 3 · Grow

Make IT a multiplier,
not a cost center.

Technology only matters when it’s making the business work harder. Every quarter we look at the stack against where you’re heading and make changes that pay for themselves.

  • License consolidation that rebates real cash within the first year
  • Roadmap aligned to business plans, not vendor sales cycles
  • Architecture decisions that survive the next two scaling steps
  • AI-readiness without buying tools you don’t need yet
  • Vendor advocacy on your side of the table — never the other
Step 4 · Secure

Posture is a verb,
not a binary.

Most SMBs say "we think we’re fine" and hope they’re right. The partnership keeps a running posture score, drift detection, and a partner on the line when something does go wrong.

  • Phishing-resistant MFA on every privileged account
  • Identity tier model, least privilege, and review cadences
  • Network segmentation that contains a breach instead of letting it spread
  • Backup architecture you can actually restore from, not just the one with green checkmarks
  • Continuous posture monitoring with daily drift detection
  • Incident triage coordination — partners on the call, not a ticket queue
