Six things we get called about

Pick the one that sounds like your week

Each one goes straight to what we actually do about it. No form in between.

"Nobody actually owns this" The laptops work until they do not, the backups run until nobody checks them. Nothing is broken, exactly. It is just that nobody's name is on it. Managed and co-managed IT "There is a machine nobody has patched" Exploiting a known hole is now the most common way into a company, and three quarters of the critical ones stay open because they belong to everyone. Patch and vulnerability management "One of our passwords is out there" 73% of ransomware victims had a credential leak in the year before the attack. Nothing alerts you when it happens, because the account still works. Exposure and dark web monitoring "The backup runs, but nobody has restored" A job that reports success every night is not a control until somebody has brought a real system back from it and timed how long it took. Continuity and recovery "Someone is sending mail as us" Your filtering protects what arrives. It does nothing about mail sent to your customers with your domain on it, because that never touches your server. Email security and authentication "They are switching off our copper line" Ninety days notice, and it is not only the phone. The fax, the alarm panel and the elevator line hang off the same pair, and each needs its own answer. Phones and communications

And four more, for when the basics are already covered

How we work

Three of the rules we actually operate by. The rest are on the about page.

We measure first, we quote second.

Every engagement starts with an inventory of what you actually have, which is almost always more than anyone remembers. Nobody puts a price on the work before they know what is there.

If what you have works, we say so.

If your backup restores and you can prove it, we are not going to sell you another one. We charge for taking ownership, not for replacing things that already do the job.

No vendor runs this place.

The alternatives were tested on our own time and our own hardware, so what goes into your office is what fits your office, not whatever we happen to resell.

Do not take our word for it

Everything here can be checked

Certifications, current and public

CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ and CySA+, the CSAP security analytics stack, Cisco CCNA and Programming for Network Engineers. Every one with an issue and expiry date on a public profile you can open right now.

We deploy what we have already broken

The virtualization, the backups and the monitoring run on Proxmox, Linux and open source tooling that we run and deliberately break in our own lab before any of it reaches a client.

The hours are the hours

Automatic containment runs at any hour and the monitoring does not sleep. People answer from 8am to 8pm Eastern, with escalation for anything critical. We would rather say it that way than print 24/7 and let you assume somebody is at a desk at 3am.

Start with something you can verify yourself

Run your domain through our free check. It tells you whether your email is authenticated and whether anyone can send mail as you. No account, about a minute.

It is the same check we run on the first day of an engagement.
