Outcomes, not promises.

Mount Xion is a young firm built on a long record. Engagement stories below are anonymized to protect the organizations involved; every number is real, and none of it is invented marketing. Where the work predates the firm, it's labeled as founder career experience, honestly.

Engagement story · Security assessment · Founder career, pre-Mount Xion

A security program built from zero evidence.

The assessment

Evidence in, runbook out.

Evidence gathered
CISA ScubaGear Microsoft Secure Score NIST CSF 2.0
Risk quantified
21 findings, from invisible to documented
Triaged by risk
Tier 1 · most urgentTier 4
Handed to delivery
An executable, costed remediation runbook the team ran.
Findings triaged across four remediation tiers with a risk heat map. This engagement is the template for Mount Xion's flagship security posture assessment.

The situation. A large organization had never had an evidence-based look at its own security posture. Leadership's picture of risk was whatever the last vendor pitch said it was.

The work. The organization's first evidence-based Microsoft 365 posture audit (CISA ScubaGear, Microsoft Secure Score, and NIST CSF 2.0) quantifying previously invisible risk and producing 21 findings triaged across four remediation tiers with a risk heat map.

The result. An executable remediation runbook handed to the delivery team, a costed path to a defensible security baseline, and a board that could finally see its real risk picture. This engagement is the template for Mount Xion's flagship assessment.

Engagement story · AI adoption · Founder career, pre-Mount Xion

An entire staff brought into governed enterprise AI.

Adoption, measured

An everyday tool for the entire staff.

Staff onboarded100%
Daily active use98%
Staff satisfaction4.0of 5
Every role in the organization, guardrails in place from day one. Policy and training came before licenses; adoption was measured, not assumed.

The situation. Leadership wanted the productivity of AI without the risk of staff pasting sensitive data into free tools. Most organizations get one or the other. The mandate: both.

The work. An enterprise AI rollout done in the right order: acceptable-use policy first, then tool selection, staff training designed for non-technical teams, and adoption measurement so leadership could see what it was paying for.

The result. Leadership got both. Enterprise AI reached every role in the organization with policy and guardrails in place before the first license, and adoption was measured rather than assumed: 100% of staff onboarded, 98% daily active use, 4.0/5 staff satisfaction.

Engagement story · Cloud modernization · Founder career, pre-Mount Xion

A $1B+ organization moved fully to the cloud.

At a glance

Half on-premise, to fully cloud.

Before After
File servers on site SharePoint and OneDrive, governed
Identity split across a legacy platform Entra ID, multifactor enforced
Devices managed by hand Every device under Intune
Processes held in spreadsheets Business systems rebuilt cloud-first
Benchmarked against peer organizations after the move: ahead on cloud adoption, device management, identity modernization, and AI.

The situation. A large, long-established organization was running half on-premise: file servers on site, identity split across a legacy third-party platform, devices managed by hand, and business processes held together by spreadsheets and email. Each of those was a single point of failure nobody was accountable for.

The work. A staged modernization onto Microsoft 365, sequenced so the organization kept working throughout. File servers retired into SharePoint and OneDrive with governance, classification, and retention defined up front. Identity consolidated on Entra ID with multifactor and Conditional Access, and the legacy identity platform shut down. Every endpoint brought under Intune with compliance enforcement and remote wipe. Business systems rebuilt cloud-first, including a relationship-management system and a daily-refresh executive dashboard built in-house instead of licensed.

The result. A modern cloud organization: smaller attack surface, recoverable data, and remote work that simply works. Benchmarked against peer organizations, it came out ahead on cloud adoption, device management, identity modernization, and AI. The technology portfolio still finished roughly $24K under plan in a year the organization absorbed an operating deficit.

Engagement story · Financial stewardship · Founder career, pre-Mount Xion

Delivered under budget in a deficit year.

The stewardship record

Every dollar accounted for.

~$790K technology portfolio stewarded, strategy through budget
~$24K under plan for the year
$15K+ recurring annual savings surfaced through vendor rationalization
Delivered through a deficit year while the security program grew. Billing anomalies caught for recovery; duplicate licensing eliminated.

The situation. An organization absorbing an operating deficit needed its technology function to hold the line, without cutting the security work that protects the trust the organization runs on.

The work. Full ownership of a ~$790K technology portfolio: vendor and MSP contract governance, license right-sizing, platform consolidation, and honest budget attribution between IT and departments.

The result. The portfolio ran roughly $24K under plan for the year. Vendor rationalization surfaced $15,000+ in recurring annual savings, caught billing anomalies for recovery, and eliminated duplicate licensing, while the security program grew.

Founder career record

The record behind the firm.

Before Mount Xion, this was the standard of work, in uniform and in the director's chair. Teams of up to 30 technicians, $129K in documented savings and avoided acquisition costs, and return-to-service times cut from seven days to two.
