What we do

Managed IT Services

Fixed-fee, all-inclusive day-to-day IT for small business teams of all sizes, from flat-rate Tiny Team Managed Security for 1 to 4 users up through per-user tiers for larger teams. Monitoring, helpdesk, patching, identity, backup, and quarterly strategy. The relationship most small businesses should have with their IT provider, run by one cleared engineer instead of a ticket queue.

IT Help Desk & Support

Live, US-based IT help desk and end-user support: fast response, remote and on-site fixes, and a real engineer who knows your environment instead of a tier-1 script. Password resets to printers to Microsoft 365, handled the same hour. Included with managed IT.

IT Consulting & vCIO

Strategic IT leadership without a full-time CIO salary: an IT roadmap, technology budget, security and compliance strategy, risk assessment, and vendor-neutral advice. Available standalone or included as quarterly planning on every managed plan.

Learn more

Cybersecurity

Government-grade cybersecurity controls, sized and priced for small business. EDR, identity hardening, MFA, immutable backup, vulnerability management, security awareness training, and incident response. Built around the discipline of a DoD-cleared engineer.

Cloud Services & Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 done right, Azure where it earns its place, hybrid where it makes sense. Tenant hardening, Conditional Access, M365 migrations, and SharePoint architecture without the buzzwords or the lock-in.

Learn more

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Immutable backups, monthly tested restores, ransomware-ready DR, and RTO and RPO commitments tied to your actual business cost. The kind of backup program a DoD engineer would trust their own data on.

Learn more

Network Design

Properly designed networks. VLAN segmentation, real firewalls, enterprise wireless, multi-site VPN or SD-WAN, full documentation. No more flat networks defended by an ISP router with a default password.

Learn more

Web Development

Custom websites and e-commerce that load fast, rank well, and actually convert visitors into customers. Built from scratch by the engineer who will keep them running, hosted on infrastructure we control end-to-end.

C-TPAT cybersecurity for importers, carriers, freight forwarders, and 3PLs. CBP-aligned controls and documentation that hold up under validation, without disrupting your operations.

Co-Managed IT

Already have an IT person or team? We augment them — 24/7 help-desk overflow, after-hours coverage, and cybersecurity and compliance depth — filling the gaps without replacing anyone. Enterprise tooling and a cleared engineer behind your in-house IT.

Ransomware Recovery & Emergency IT

Systems locked or down right now? Rapid containment, recovery from immutable backups, eradication, and cyber-insurance documentation, led by a cleared DoD engineer. Call (831) 204-0501 — the emergency line is answered, not queued.

CMMC & NIST 800-171

CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness for small defense contractors and subcontractors: gap assessment, CUI enclave design, SSP and POA&M, and SPRS scoring, by a cleared DoD engineer who has operated these controls.
