One engineer.
A specialist agent stack.
ITSailor is an IT Strategic Operations Studio — a Cloud, Security, and AI consulting practice plus three Azure-resident products, built so regulated EU operators own the architecture and leave with an Exit Kit, not a vendor leash.

Michal Jatczak runs ITSailor from Malta — a Microsoft-Authorized solo practice that ships engineering-grade Cloud, Security, and AI architecture for regulated EU operators. Before ITSailor, Michal spent years inside Maltese iGaming — the kind of regulated, audit-heavy, no-margin-for-error environment where most consultancies' slides fall apart. He saw which controls actually pass an MGA audit, and which ones look good on a deck and break in production.
Now the stack is Pax8 marketplace for Microsoft 365, Azure, backup, and security tooling — sourced at wholesale, not resold with a 30% markup. Three Azure-resident products on top: SEAWALL (FinOps), HOIST (autonomous IT support), DECKLOG (private RAG). ISC2 CISSP Associate. Working in public via Ops Log.
Every engagement closes with an Exit Kit. You can hand it to your next vendor in 24 hours — that's the Sovereign Mastery promise.

Operating principles
Six commitments that decide what we accept, how we deliver, and what we say no to.
Read-only by default
We touch nothing without an explicit, scoped task in writing. Audits run on delegated read permissions or short-lived service principals you can revoke in one click.
Evidence over opinion
Every finding is linked to a tenant log line, a license object ID, or a DNS lookup. If we can't show the source, we don't put it in the report.
Scoped before delivery
You see the deliverable, timeline, commercial terms, and handover plan before work starts. Scope changes require a written decision.
Operator-built
ITSailor is shaped by someone who still runs production tenants. We optimise for what an IT lead can act on Monday morning — not what looks good in a slide deck.
EU-first data handling
We choose EU regions where available, disclose sub-processors, and use contractual safeguards for international transfers. We do not sell or train models on customer data.
Honest about scope
We say no to the things we shouldn't do — competing verticals, conflicted procurement, anything outside our partner stack. Being a sole trader means staying narrow on purpose.
Focus areas
