What we usually find
Most IT problems are already expensive by the time anyone notices.
01
Nobody owns the whole setup, so things get fixed one at a time and never really get better.
02
No one is sure who still has access to what.
03
Backups run every night. Nobody has ever restored one.
04
The insurance renewal asks security questions nobody in the building can answer.
05
Every vendor quote sounds reasonable, and none of them agree.
What we do
Four things we do.
Most people start with one of them.
Someone keeping an eye on the systems your team uses every day.
When one person owns the whole setup, problems get caught while they’re still small.
- A help desk your staff can actually reach
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace administration
- Setting up new hires and closing out the ones who leave
- Updates and software versions tracked, not assumed
- Backups watched, and restores tested before you need one
Security built around how your business actually runs.
We make it harder to get in and faster to notice when someone tries. Nobody can promise you’ll never get hit.
- Multi-factor authentication rolled out the right way
- Email and phishing protection
- Protection on every device your team actually uses
- Access reviews, so permissions match who still works there
- Vulnerability management and device hardening
A straight answer on what to buy and what to skip.
We help you get ready for what your industry requires. We don’t certify compliance, and we’re not your attorney.
- An outside read on vendor quotes
- A technology plan and budget you can actually follow
- Which risks to fix first, and why those
- Help with cyber insurance applications and questionnaires
- Getting ready for compliance in your industry
For when something has already happened.
If you think you’ve been hit, call before you change or delete anything.
- Evidence preserved before it disappears
- A look at what happened in the accounts and mailboxes
- Shutting things down after a compromise or a phishing hit
- A written timeline of what took place
- Working alongside your attorney or your insurer
Run the numbers
An hour of downtime has a price. Here’s yours.
Three numbers you already know. Move the sliders and see what a normal month of outages, lockouts and waiting on IT is costing you.
This estimator needs JavaScript. The math is simple enough to do yourself: people who stop working, times their real hourly cost, times hours lost per month.
Not your whole payroll. Just the ones who can’t do their job.
Wages plus taxes and benefits, so roughly 1.3 times salary.
Outages, locked accounts, slow machines, waiting on a callback.
$54,000
Lost productivity per year at these numbers
- Per month
- $4,500
- Per hour down
- $1,125
This is just the math on the three numbers you entered. It leaves out missed deadlines, overtime, lost sales and cleanup costs. It isn’t a quote, and it isn’t a promise of savings.
In practice
What it’s worth when the records are already there.
A customs brokerage runs on deadlines that don’t move. When the systems go down, shipments and filings stop.
$9,000
Saved on one claim
An employee was let go and filed for unemployment. The brokerage had to show what actually happened, and could, because the account and device records were already being kept properly.
The same records that hold up in a security review will also settle an employment dispute.
Getting started
You don’t have to switch anything to start.
Changing providers is a real decision. The first step doesn’t have to be.
01
If you’re just comparing
02
If you think there are gaps
A focused assessment
A scoped look at where things stand, with a written summary you keep whether or not you hire us.
03
If you have one thing to fix
One project
A migration, a Microsoft 365 cleanup, a backup review. See how we work before committing to anything ongoing.
If you do decide to move, nothing gets handed over until we have the documentation and access to keep you running.
How we work
What we actually promise.
Everyone says they’re responsive and honest. Here’s what that means for us.
01
You hear back within 24 hours
Every request gets a real answer inside one business day. That means a conversation and a plan. It doesn’t mean everything is fixed by then.
02
A quarterly report with the bad numbers in it
Tickets, updates, vulnerabilities, devices, projects. If something is still open, we show it and tell you why.
03
We’ll tell you when not to spend
If you don’t need it, we say so. If your current provider is doing good work, we say that too.
04
We own our mistakes
You hear it from us first. What happened, how we fixed it, and what we changed so it doesn’t repeat.
05
The scope is fixed before we start
What’s included, what isn’t, and what it costs, in writing, before any work begins.
06
You’ll know who you’re dealing with
Whoever looks at your systems first is the same person who stays responsible for them.
Who you work with
You’ll know who’s working on your systems.
Whoever assesses your setup is the same person who stays responsible for it.

Questions
Answers before you call.
Cost and scope
It depends on headcount, locations, and what shape your systems are in. You get a fixed scope and a number before any work starts.
Working together
Often, yes. People bring us in for security work, a second opinion, or a quote review while their provider stays put.
Documentation and access come over first, before anything is handed off, so there’s never a gap where nobody is responsible. Your current provider doesn’t have to cooperate for this to work.
What we won’t claim
No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling you something. We make it harder, we catch things sooner, and we help you recover. We also don’t certify compliance. We help you get ready for it.
