One Partner to Architect, Deploy, Protect and Evolve Your Company's IP Estate
XOtavo / shoo-TAH-voh / — from the Portuguese enxotar: to scare off, to drive out — keeping intruders away
Your IP estate, the sum of every connected device that powers your business, is your structural foundation! We manage it as one living system, architected, deployed, protected, and evolved by the same team of engineers.
Let's Talk See Our Approach- Live feed from the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog: the flaws attackers are exploiting in the wild right now. XOtavo monitoring watches it continuously and checks it against every device on a client network.

Why One Partner Matters
You didn't start your business to be a project manager for technology vendors. Every time there's an issue, you're pulled into the same exhausting role — coordinating between vendors instead of running your business. You're forced to spend time away from leading the organization, stuck acting as a referee, translator, and traffic cop between vendors who are more interested in avoiding blame than solving the issue.
XOtavo is the buffer between you and that chaos. We sit above your technology stack as an orchestrator. If a vendor isn't performing, we can replace them with another vendor of your choice or our own team. If you have incumbents you need to keep, we manage them. Either way, you get one accountable partner instead of a patchwork of logos.
We provide a single point of truth for your IP estate — one place where all the tickets, metrics, and performance data come together. That visibility makes it clear who's actually delivering, where the gaps are, and what needs to change. We handle the escalation, coordination, and execution so you don't have to.
The result is operational clarity. You regain the bandwidth to lead your organization with the confidence that your foundation is secure, seamless, and fully accounted for.
The name is deliberate. XOtavo comes from the Portuguese enxotar — to scare off, to drive out. It is the verb for turning something away before it settles in, which is exactly the job: intruders spotted, isolated, and put back outside, across every system that speaks IP. The XO is deliberate too — you command, we run the ship. XOtavo is a woman-owned business, independently owned and operated.
