AITEK reviews CIS Controls, cloud access, SQL Server, and AI tool permissions. Timothy Hidalgo does the work himself, then tells you what needs attention first.
Some clients need a baseline. Others have a database, cloud design, or AI workflow that nobody has examined as a security boundary. The scope stays tied to that question, so the report doesn't turn into a catalog of everything that could possibly be improved.
A control-by-control look at the current program, followed by a gap summary and an ordered remediation list. Findings separate policy gaps from technical work, which lets leadership see what requires a decision and what the team can fix.
Timothy examines trust boundaries, identity paths, cloud exposure, database access, and the way sensitive data moves. The written review names risky assumptions and the changes that would reduce exposure.
SQL Server often holds payroll, ERP, customer, or reporting data. This review covers server configuration, permissions, service accounts, backups, maintenance, and recovery assumptions; reliability problems and security problems rarely stay in separate boxes.
Before an agent connects to email, databases, or internal tools, AITEK maps what it can read, change, and disclose. You get a permissions and data-flow review, along with safer choices for deployment and operations.
This engagement began after an ERP change exposed SQL Server and server-configuration problems. That older part of AITEK's work still shapes the security practice: inspect the real system, challenge the assumptions, and leave the client able to operate what was fixed.
“AITEK has been a lifesaver for us. We had many problems with SQL and our Server configuration when we first changed ERP Systems. Tim’s expertise and knowledge put us on the right path for smooth sailing. Great company to have in your toolkit.”
Timothy started AITEK in 2007 as a database and infrastructure consultancy. Years spent on SQL Server, ERP systems, backups, and recovery showed him where operational shortcuts become security failures.
His work now includes CIS 18 assessments, security architecture, cloud and data security, vulnerability program design, and reviews of AI agents that touch business systems. He holds the GIAC Operational Cybersecurity Executive designation through GCCC, GSTRT, and GSOM, along with GCIH and CISSP.
Timothy scopes the engagement, performs the technical review, writes the findings, and stays through the final discussion. If the evidence can't support an answer, the report says so; assumptions don't get dressed up as findings.
If something about your cloud design, SQL Server estate, control program, or AI plan doesn't sit right, send a short note. Include the system involved and what changed; Timothy will reply within 24 hours.
