Defined Starting Engagements

Start with the decision that needs evidence.

Hexdata assessments are bounded engagements for organizations that need a clearer technical direction before committing to a larger AI, cloud, security or resilience initiative.

Assessment Principle

No open-ended discovery. No predetermined product answer.

The question, evidence requirements, participants, exclusions, outputs, timing and commercial terms are confirmed before work begins.

QuestionDecision to resolve
EvidenceWhat can be confirmed
DirectionTarget state and controls
RoadmapSequenced next actions
Four Defined Starting Points

Choose the level of clarity the decision requires.

Begin with a focused workshop or move directly to an evidence-based assessment when the question, environment and stakeholders are already defined.

Opportunity Workshop

AI Opportunity & Risk Workshop

Evaluate up to three potential AI use cases, prioritize one opportunity and identify the immediate business, data, security and platform questions.

Decision Is there a justified use case, and what should happen next?

Included
  • Two-hour leadership and technical workshop
  • Use-case comparison and prioritization
  • High-level risk and platform considerations
  • Concise executive findings
Starting at CAD $1,500
Secure AI

Secure AI Readiness Assessment

Determine whether one priority AI use case has the data, identity, model, security, platform and operating foundations required for controlled advancement.

Decision What must be addressed before pilot or production?

Typical outputs
  • Use-case and data-boundary view
  • Readiness findings and risk themes
  • Architecture and control direction
  • Prioritized 90-day roadmap
Typical duration: 1–2 weeks
Cloud

Cloud Architecture Assessment

Evaluate the current environment and define a secure direction for cloud platforms, identity, networking, workloads, observability, continuity and operational control.

Decision What target architecture and sequence should guide modernization?

Typical outputs
  • Current-state architecture view
  • Risk and dependency findings
  • Target architecture direction
  • Sequenced modernization roadmap
Typical duration: 2–3 weeks
Security & Resilience

Security & Resilience Assessment

Examine identity, infrastructure exposure, security visibility, recovery dependencies and continuity priorities across critical cloud and hybrid systems.

Decision Which control and recovery gaps require priority action?

Typical outputs
  • Identity and exposure findings
  • Hardening priorities
  • Recovery and continuity observations
  • Risk-based remediation roadmap
Typical duration: 2–3 weeks
How the Engagement Works

One question. Three controlled stages.

Implementation is not bundled into the assessment. Any next-stage work is considered separately after the findings establish a justified direction.

1. Frame the decision

Confirm scope, evidence, participants, exclusions, timing, deliverables and commercial terms.

2. Examine the evidence

Conduct focused discovery and review the relevant architecture, controls and operating context.

3. Deliver direction

Present findings, assumptions, priorities, decision points and a sequenced action roadmap.

Assessment Scoping

Start with the decision you need to make.

Share the objective, present concern and desired timeline. Hexdata will confirm whether a structured assessment is the appropriate next step.
