When Compliance & Risk Are Confusing, Your Business Stalls
For growing businesses, IT compliance and risk management aren’t optional — but they can be overwhelming. You might have the right tools and policies in place, but still not know if you’re covered, secure, or even insurable. Sixwatch helps you sort through the noise and build a clear, confident path forward.
One Partner. Real IT Guidance. No Guesswork.
Whether you’re preparing for an audit or checking insurance requirements, Sixwatch provides consulting services that help you assess risk, plan ahead, and build trust with clients, vendors, and insurers.
Sixwatch Offers Two Core Consulting Services
Risk Assessment
We review your current systems, policies, and coverage to ensure you’re protected. We identify gaps that could impact cybersecurity, compliance, or even your ability to get paid by insurance after a breach.
-
Cyber Insurance Readiness
We help you understand and meet the technical requirements your cyber insurance provider expects — so you’re not just paying for a policy, but actually eligible for a payout if something goes wrong. That means confirming things like MFA, backup protocols, and incident response plans are in place and provable.
-
Gaps Between Your Tools & Your Actual Coverage
Having antivirus or backup software isn’t enough if it’s not configured correctly — or if it doesn’t meet the standards outlined in your policy. We review your current tech stack and compare it against your insurance requirements to uncover hidden gaps that could void your coverage.
-
Ensuring Your Documentation Supports a Claim
In the event of a cyber incident, insurance carriers will ask for proof: logs, policies, response plans, and system data. We assess whether your documentation is sufficient to support a claim — and help you create or improve it if it’s not.
-
Technical Risk Analysis + High-Priority Recommendations
We conduct a thorough review of your systems, looking for vulnerabilities, outdated configurations, or security blind spots. Then we provide a prioritized action plan focused on fixing the issues that matter most — so you know exactly where to focus your time and budget.
Compliance Readiness
We help you get audit-ready for today’s toughest standards — whether your client requires it or your industry demands it. We don’t issue certifications, but we help you get across the finish line with a clear plan, trusted tools, and ongoing support.
-
SOC 2 - for operational maturity + data security
We help your team prepare for SOC 2 by ensuring your systems, policies, and processes align with what auditors expect. Whether you’re handling sensitive client data or just want to show operational maturity, we’ll help you tighten controls, document processes, and build confidence ahead of an audit.
-
CMMC - for government contractors
Working with the Department of Defense? CMMC is no longer optional. We guide you through the readiness process step by step — helping you implement the right tools, secure your systems, and document everything required to work with federal agencies.
-
HIPAA - for healthcare-related businesses
Patient privacy isn’t just a moral responsibility — it’s a legal one. We’ll help you understand and prepare for HIPAA compliance by reviewing your systems, data handling practices, and technical safeguards to ensure you meet regulatory expectations and protect sensitive health information.
-
PCI DSS - for payment security compliance
If your business accepts credit card payments, PCI DSS compliance is a must. We assess how you collect, store, and process payment data, then help you implement the security controls needed to protect customer information and maintain trust.
-
Cyber Insurance Requirements - for payout assurance
Most cyber insurance policies require you to meet specific technical and procedural standards. We’ll help you interpret your policy, close any compliance gaps, and build a paper trail so that if something happens, you’re in a strong position to qualify for full coverage.
Why It Matters
Compliance isn’t just red tape — it’s about proving you’re trustworthy.
Whether you’re bidding on contracts, working with sensitive data, or applying for cyber insurance, being compliant shows that you’re serious about security. And if something goes wrong, preparation could be the difference between a payout… or a total loss.

I reached out to SixWatch to get my new company computer set up. I was sure it would be a grueling, all day process. However, to my surprise, it was painless and so convenient. Thomas was very helpful in making sure all my data & files were transferred over and that I was comfortable, confident even, in the use of my new machine. He even assured me that if I had any issues, he’d be readily available to help. 10 stars for having my six!

My Company has recently engaged Sixwatch as our IT consultants. I work from home, after their engagement, they had me up and running on a new remote connect the same day! Over the first week, i was experiencing issues the remote connecting freezing up using Ninja remote. They immediately started working on the remote PC and my local PC. After testing and reconfigurations, it was still not working correctly. They ended up setting up a free VPN connection and for the last 2 weeks I have not had a single issue! I have to them 5 stars for their speedy response time, knowledge and professionalism. Thank you Sixwatch :)

IT Consulting Services FAQ
-
What does an IT consulting service actually do?
IT consulting helps your business evaluate, plan, and improve its technology strategy. At Sixwatch, we align your IT infrastructure with your business goals — whether that means modernizing systems, strengthening cybersecurity, reducing downtime, or mapping a path for future growth. Our experts offer both high-level guidance and hands-on execution support.
-
Do I need IT consulting if I already have an IT team?
Yes, many of our clients have internal teams. Our consultants work alongside your existing IT staff to provide additional strategy, technical expertise, or project bandwidth. Think of us as an extension of your team, filling in knowledge gaps or freeing up internal resources so they can focus on core business priorities.
-
How is IT consulting different from managed IT services?
Managed IT services handle the day-to-day operations of your technology — monitoring, support, backups, etc. IT consulting is more strategic and project-based, focused on helping you plan, improve, or transform your tech stack. Many clients use both: consulting to plan the roadmap, managed services to execute and maintain it.
-
What kind of businesses benefit most from IT consulting?
We work with a wide range of industries, from law firms and healthcare providers to construction and nonprofit organizations. Businesses that are growing, restructuring, planning a cloud migration, or concerned about cybersecurity are especially good candidates. If you’re facing change or complexity, an IT consultant can help you move forward with confidence.
-
Can you help us with cybersecurity and compliance?
Absolutely. Our IT consulting often includes risk assessments, compliance audits, and security roadmaps. Whether you’re navigating HIPAA, CMMC, or just want to tighten your security posture, we’ll help you identify vulnerabilities, prioritize action steps, and build a safer, more resilient environment.
-
How do we get started with Sixwatch’s IT consulting services?
We start with a discovery call to learn about your business, goals, and current IT challenges. From there, we’ll outline a tailored consulting engagement — whether it’s a one-time audit, a full tech overhaul, or ongoing strategy support. You can also request a free IT risk assessment to identify where you stand today.
