Outcomes, not jargon

You don't buy "endpoint security" — you buy "I won't get a 2 a.m. ransomware call." We talk in outcomes your leadership team actually cares about.

One team, end-to-end

Helpdesk, security, cloud, strategy, compliance, AI — under one roof. No finger-pointing between vendors when something goes sideways.

Partner, not vendor

We're invested in your business doing well — not just in selling you the next thing. Long-term relationships beat transactional ones, every time.

Our Services

Six things we do for our clients.

Most clients use a mix. Some start with one and grow into others. Whatever shape your business is in today, we'll meet you there.

01

Day-to-day IT that just works

The boring stuff that keeps the lights on — done right, so you don't think about it.

Helpdesk tickets answered fast. Servers and laptops monitored around the clock. Updates and patches applied before something breaks. Backups tested, not just running. The unsexy fundamentals of business technology — done with the kind of consistency that makes IT invisible to your team.

What's included

  • Responsive helpdesk for your whole team
  • 24/7 monitoring of servers, networks, and endpoints
  • Proactive maintenance, patching, and updates
  • Backup and disaster recovery (tested regularly)
  • Hardware and software lifecycle management
  • Vendor coordination so you don't have to

Best for

Businesses that have outgrown the "ask the one tech-savvy person in accounting" approach. Typically 15–250 employees, with no internal IT or a small team that needs backup.

02

Security that protects your business

The threats that go after small and mid-sized businesses are real. So is the protection.

Ransomware doesn't just hit Fortune 500s — it hits the 60-person manufacturer down the road. Phishing emails get more convincing every month. Employees click things they shouldn't. We layer the right defenses across your environment, train your people to spot the threats, and watch what's happening so you don't get blindsided.

What's included

  • Endpoint protection and threat response
  • Email security and anti-phishing
  • Multi-factor authentication and access controls
  • Security awareness training for your staff
  • Incident response planning
  • Ongoing monitoring and threat intelligence

Best for

Any business with sensitive data, customer information, financial records, or operational systems they can't afford to lose. Which, honestly, is every business.

03

Cloud and Microsoft 365

The productivity layer most modern businesses run on — set up the right way.

Microsoft 365 is more than email. Done well, it's the backbone of how your team communicates, collaborates, and gets work done — from anywhere. Done poorly, it's a sprawling mess of overlapping tools, unclear permissions, and security gaps. We help businesses get the most out of what they're already paying for, with the controls and structure to keep it secure as you grow.

What's included

  • Microsoft 365 deployment and configuration
  • Cloud migrations (on-prem to cloud, or cloud-to-cloud)
  • SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive setup
  • Hybrid environments where they make sense
  • Identity and access management
  • Licensing optimization (most clients are over-paying)

Best for

Businesses moving to remote or hybrid work, growing teams that have outgrown ad-hoc file sharing, or anyone whose Microsoft 365 setup happened years ago and was never properly architected.

04

Strategic IT planning

Technology decisions affect your bottom line. Treat them that way.

Most businesses outgrow break-fix IT before they realize it. There's a moment when ad-hoc decisions about technology start costing you money, slowing down growth, or creating risk you can't see. That's when you need an IT leader at the table — not for every helpdesk ticket, but for the decisions that shape where the business is going. We bring that strategic perspective without the cost of a full-time CIO.

What's included

  • Fractional CIO / vCIO services
  • Multi-year technology roadmap planning
  • IT budgeting and capital planning
  • Vendor selection and contract review
  • M&A technology due diligence and integration
  • Growth-stage transitions (scaling from 50 to 500)

Best for

Businesses where leadership is making technology decisions without a technology leader at the table. Typical sweet spot: companies between $5M and $100M in revenue who need strategic IT depth but can't justify a full-time CIO.

05

Compliance and frameworks

Whether the rules come from the DoD, your customers, or your insurance company — we know the playbook.

If you do business with the Department of Defense, CMMC 2.0 isn't optional. If you handle protected health information, HIPAA isn't optional. If your enterprise customers are starting to ask about SOC 2, your runway just got shorter. Compliance work is methodical, evidence-based, and unglamorous — which is exactly what makes it stressful for businesses tackling it for the first time. We've done it before, many times, and we'll guide you through it.

What's included

  • CMMC 2.0 readiness, gap assessment, and certification support
  • NIST 800-171 implementation
  • HIPAA security and privacy compliance
  • SOC 2 readiness and ongoing controls
  • Cyber insurance attestation support
  • Policy and procedure development

Best for

Defense contractors and subcontractors facing CMMC requirements, healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA, B2B software companies pursuing SOC 2, or any business whose customers or insurers are asking compliance questions you can't yet answer confidently.

Specifically focused on CMMC? We're a Cyber AB Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) with certified professionals on staff. See our full CMMC 2.0 Compliance page →
06

AI Implementation & GRC

Adopt AI safely. Scale it responsibly. The tools you pay for actually get used — and used safely.

78% of organizations are already using AI in some form. Only 1% say their rollout is mature. And 44% of employees have used AI tools improperly at work. The gap between "we have Copilot licenses" and "AI is making our business measurably better" is bigger than most leadership teams realize. We close that gap — with strategy first, secure deployment second, real staff training third, and ongoing governance throughout.

What's included

  • Strategy & Readiness — where AI fits in your business, where it doesn't, what to do first
  • Implementation — Microsoft 365 Copilot deployed with the right controls, sensitivity labels, and access policies
  • Staff Training — practical, role-based sessions tied to real work (not generic videos)
  • GRC & Monitoring — policies, risk controls, and oversight as AI scales across your team

Best for

SMBs of 15+ employees in any industry who want to bring AI into the workplace without creating a security incident, a compliance problem, or a wasted licensing spend. Led by Caroline St. Clair, our AI strategist and educator.

How We Work

Partner, not vendor.

There's a difference between a vendor that sells you services and a partner that's invested in your business doing well. We aim to be the second one.

Step 01

We start with a conversation

Before we propose anything, we sit down and learn your business — what you do, where you're growing, what's been frustrating you about IT until now.

Step 02

We assess what you actually have

A clear, written picture of your current technology environment. What's working, what's at risk, and where the real opportunities are.

Step 03

We propose what makes sense

A scope that matches the business you actually run — not a one-size-fits-all package. You'll know exactly what you're getting and why.

Step 04

We deliver, then keep showing up

The hard part isn't the kickoff. It's the next two years. Quarterly reviews, ongoing strategy, and a team that knows your business by name.

Ready to Talk?

Let's start with a conversation.

No high-pressure sales pitch. No 90-minute discovery deck. Just a real conversation about your business and whether we're a fit. If we are, we'll tell you. If we're not, we'll tell you that too.
