Private cohorts for your team

We rebuild the agenda around your platforms, naming standards and reporting needs, then run the sessions against a copy of your own configuration. Typical private cohorts are six to ten engineers across two or three half-days, scheduled to protect your operational cover.

  • Tailored agenda
  • Your data, your naming
  • Recordings for 6 months
  • Runbook handover

Consulting

From stalled deployment to documentation you trust

Whether scans are failing, coverage has drifted, or an audit is three weeks away, we work alongside your team to get XIA Configuration Server doing the job it was bought for.

Deployment & health check

A structured review of your server, agents, credentials and scan coverage — with a prioritised remediation plan you can act on the same week.

Scan & estate design

We map your estate, define item scope, and build a scan topology that stays accurate as environments grow and change.

Custom reports & integrations

Bespoke reports, PowerShell automation and hand-offs into ITSM, CMDB or BI tooling so documentation reaches the people who need it.

Audit readiness

Evidence bundles, change history and access controls prepared for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and internal audit cycles.

FAQ

Questions we hear often

Do we need our own XIA Configuration Server licence to attend?

No. Courses run in our lab environment, and every attendee gets a sandbox to practise in. If you already have a server, we can tailor exercises to your estate instead.

Are courses delivered live or pre-recorded?

All courses are live and instructor-led, capped at ten attendees so questions get answered. Sessions are recorded and shared with your team for six months.

Can you run a private course for our team?

Yes — private cohorts are our most popular format. We adapt the agenda to your platforms, naming conventions and reporting requirements.

What does a typical consulting engagement look like?

Most start with a two-day health check and design workshop, followed by implementation sprints. Smaller advisory retainers are available for ongoing questions.
