Your Business Deserves a Real Cybersecurity Program - Not Just a Stack of Tools
Xact IT Solutions has delivered cybersecurity consulting services for more than 20 years with zero client breaches on record. We translate NIST CSF, CIS Controls, HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC requirements into documented roadmaps, technical controls, and audit-ready evidence - without the fear-driven pitch.
Capabilities
What's Included in Our Cybersecurity Consulting Services
Security Program Roadmap
We map your current posture against a named framework - CIS Controls IG2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or a regulator-specific stack - and deliver a prioritized, written roadmap of technical controls and policy gaps, sequenced by risk, not vendor preference.
Fractional Security Executive Guidance
For organizations without a dedicated security executive, we provide ongoing strategic leadership: board-level reporting, risk governance, and accountability structures that give leadership real visibility into program maturity.
Written Policy and Controls Library
We author and maintain the written policies, standards, and procedures your auditors, insurers, and regulators require - including incident response plans, acceptable use policies, and access control standards.
Compliance Posture Mapping
Whether your driver is a cyber-insurance renewal, an acquisition due-diligence process, or a regulator finding, we map your environment against HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, GLBA, or NIST frameworks and document the evidence requirements clearly.
Technical Control Implementation
Strategy without execution is just paper. We follow the roadmap through to hands-on implementation - multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection architecture, logging and alerting configuration, and more.
Year-Round Audit Evidence Cadence
We build the recurring evidence collection process that keeps your program audit-ready every day of the year - not scrambling the month before a review. Log review schedules, quarterly access recertifications, and annual policy reviews are all part of it.

CYBERSECURITY SERVICES
Need ongoing operational cybersecurity, not just consulting?
Consulting builds the roadmap. The day-to-day execution - 24/7 monitoring, endpoint defense, identity protection, incident response - lives in our managed Cybersecurity Services hub.

CYBER ASSESSMENT
Need a point-in-time security assessment first?
Before building a strategy, sometimes the right first step is a structured assessment against CIS IG2 to surface gaps and prioritize spend. Our Cybersecurity Assessment engagement produces a scored, defensible posture review.

Most mid-market businesses don’t suffer a breach because their firewall failed on a Tuesday. They suffer one because no one ever built a coherent program around the firewall – no written policies, no evidence cadence, no accountability structure, and no framework to measure progress against. Our cybersecurity consulting services exist specifically to close that gap. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) consistently identifies the same root causes in post-incident reviews: gaps in basic controls, poor visibility, and the absence of a documented security program.
A firewall and antivirus stopped being enough the moment your business grew past a handful of employees. Cybersecurity consulting services build the program layer that sits above the tools – the strategy, governance, written policy, and audit infrastructure that transforms a collection of products into a defensible posture. If you’re looking for how we engage locally, our cybersecurity consulting services in New Jersey page covers our regional engagement model.
Where many providers arrive with a product catalog and a fear narrative, our approach starts with a named framework and ends with a written roadmap you own. We work against CIS Critical Security Controls IG2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and regulator-specific stacks including HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2, and CMMC. Every recommendation ties back to a control requirement – not a vendor relationship. We hold ourselves to the same standard we recommend to clients: our own environment has been independently audited annually since 2021 by Versprite, a CREST-accredited assessor, against the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark standards. We don’t ask clients to do anything we haven’t done ourselves.
This service is built for mid-market businesses – typically 25 to 500 employees – that have basic security tooling in place but no structured program behind it. Common triggers include a cyber-insurance renewal requiring documented controls, an acquisition due-diligence process, a regulator finding, a near-miss incident, or new leadership demanding accountability for security posture. It fits especially well for organizations without an in-house security executive who need strategic guidance alongside hands-on technical implementation.

Why Businesses Across the US Choose Our Cybersecurity Consulting Services
Xact IT Solutions has operated for more than 20 years with zero client breaches on record – a claim that is independently verifiable and genuinely rare at any scale. Our own environment is audited annually by Versprite, a CREST-accredited assessor, against the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark standards, giving us a credibility marker that most consulting firms cannot match. We support clients across HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, GLBA, and NIST CSF frameworks, with direct experience in the compliance requirements that matter to regulated industries. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) remains the most widely adopted voluntary standard for program-level security governance, and it anchors how we structure engagements across industries. For small and mid-size businesses, the U.S. Small Business Administration also highlights structured security programs as a critical defense against growing cyber threats.
A typical engagement begins with a two-to-three-week assessment phase: structured interviews with key stakeholders, a review of existing documentation and technical configurations, and a mapping of findings to your applicable framework. The gap analysis and roadmap are delivered within thirty days of kickoff. Policy authoring and control implementation run in parallel over the following sixty to ninety days, with weekly check-ins and documented progress against the roadmap. Nothing is left at the recommendation stage – every item on the roadmap has an owner, a due date, and a verification step. You can see how this approach extends across our full managed security services practice for clients who want ongoing monitoring beyond the consulting engagement.
In the first thirty days, clients typically walk away with a clear, written picture of where they actually stand – often for the first time. By day sixty, the highest-risk gaps are closed or actively being remediated. By day ninety, the evidence cadence is operational and leadership has a board-ready program status report in hand. Clients regularly describe this phase as the moment their security program stopped being a liability and started being an asset in conversations with insurers, auditors, and prospective clients.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cybersecurity Consulting Services
What does a cybersecurity consulting engagement cost?
Engagement scope and investment depend on your organization’s size, current posture, applicable compliance frameworks, and the depth of implementation support required. We don’t publish flat-rate pricing because a 30-employee healthcare organization working toward HIPAA alignment has a materially different scope than a 300-employee defense contractor pursuing CMMC certification. Pricing is discussed on the strategy call – a free, 20-minute conversation with our team – so we can scope accurately before anyone commits to anything.
How long does a cybersecurity consulting engagement take?
The assessment and roadmap phase typically completes within 30 days of kickoff. Policy authoring and initial control implementation run through days 30 to 90, depending on the number and complexity of gaps identified. Ongoing strategic security oversight engagements are structured quarterly with annual review cycles. We’ll give you a specific timeline estimate on the strategy call, once we understand your current state and target framework.
What happens on the strategy call?
The strategy call is a free, 20-minute conversation with a member of our consulting team – not a sales representative. We’ll ask about your current security posture, your compliance drivers (insurance renewal, regulator requirement, acquisition due diligence, internal mandate), and your timeline. You’ll leave the call with specific, actionable observations about your situation whether you engage us or not. There is no obligation and no follow-up pressure.
How is Xact IT Solutions different from a typical cybersecurity provider?
Most providers lead with a product, a scan tool, or a fear-driven narrative. We lead with a named framework and a written roadmap. We hold ourselves to the same standard we recommend – our environment is independently audited annually by a CREST-accredited assessor. We have zero client breaches in over 20 years. And we don’t separate strategy from implementation: the same team that writes your roadmap executes it, which eliminates the gap between recommendations and reality that plagues most consulting relationships.
Do you serve clients outside New Jersey?
Yes. Our cybersecurity consulting services are delivered remotely by design – we work with businesses across the United States. Our headquarters is in Marlton, New Jersey, but program-level security work is not constrained by geography. Clients in any US state can engage us for the full scope of services described on this page.
