About Xintel

A Cybersecurity Firm Built for New York's Small Businesses

We started Xintel because we saw a gap: large enterprise security firms serve large enterprise clients, and small businesses get left behind — or sold products they don't need. We built something different.

Our Mission

Enterprise-Grade Security. Small Business Pricing. Zero Jargon.

Most cybersecurity firms either ignore small businesses or oversell them complex tools they can't maintain. Xintel was built on the belief that a 10-person dental practice deserves the same quality of protection as a Fortune 500 company — delivered in a way that actually fits their operations and budget.

We focus exclusively on three industries — healthcare, legal, and financial services — because we believe deep specialization serves our clients better than being generalists. We know your compliance requirements, your operational pressures, and the specific threats targeting your sector.

We're based in New York. We serve New York. That's not a marketing line — it means we can be at your office when you need us, we understand the local regulatory environment, and we serve both English and Mandarin-speaking business owners across the NYC metro.

🎯

Specialized, not generic

We go deep on three regulated industries instead of trying to be everything to everyone.

🤝

No hard sells

We'll tell you honestly if you don't need us. Free consultations mean exactly that.

📍

New York-based team. On-site when it matters. No call centers, no ticket queues.

📋

Compliance-fluent

We translate regulations into action — not just documents that sit in a drawer.

Leadership

Kevin is the founder and principal security engineer at Xintel. With a background spanning enterprise security engineering and SMB IT consulting, he brings a rare combination of technical depth and practical business sense to every client engagement.

He built Xintel after years of seeing small businesses — medical practices, law firms, accounting offices — struggle to navigate cybersecurity and compliance requirements that were designed with large enterprises in mind. The result is a firm that speaks plain English, delivers real outcomes, and treats every client's practice as if it were their own.
