XIA Configuration Server

Automated IT Security Compliance & Benchmarking

Streamline your IT security audits by automatically comparing your Windows and SQL Server environments against industry standards and best practices.

Futuristic interface showing verified IT configuration categories with icons for server, network, cloud, security, and database.

Simplify Security Audits

XIA Configuration's security compliance benchmarks provide a structured way to evaluate your environments against industry-aligned best practices.

Instead of relying on manual checks or inconsistent documentation, XIA Configuration applies a repeatable benchmark that highlights misconfigurations, weak settings, and areas where hardening controls are missing.
