Five ways
to hire us

Every engagement opens with an assessment, so nobody is guessing. What follows it is the part you are choosing here — and most clients end up on more than one.

01 / 5

Managed IT support

Day-to-day IT, run by people who know your environment. Staff get someone who answers; you get an environment that stops generating the same ticket every month.

What you get

  • Helpdesk by phone, email and chat during business hours
  • 24/7 monitoring with after-hours escalation
  • Patching and endpoint management across Windows and macOS
  • Onboarding and offboarding runbooks for every new hire
  • Named engineer plus a quarterly review of what keeps breaking
Typical length
Monthly, 12-month term
Team
Named engineer + desk
Starts with
IT assessment

02 / 5

Cloud & infrastructure

Servers, storage, identity and backup — moved to where they belong and documented on the way. Most of our migrations finish over a weekend with nothing for staff to relearn.

What you get

  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace migration, mailboxes and files
  • Azure or AWS landing zone with identity and access mapped
  • Server consolidation or retirement, on your schedule
  • Backup and disaster recovery with a tested recovery time
  • Licence review — we routinely find seats nobody uses
Typical length
4–12 weeks
Team
2–3 engineers
Starts with
Environment audit

03 / 5

Security & compliance

The controls that stop the common attacks, and the documentation that satisfies auditors, cyber insurers and enterprise clients running vendor reviews.

What you get

  • Multi-factor authentication and conditional access, everywhere
  • Managed endpoint detection and response
  • Phishing simulation and staff training on a real schedule
  • HIPAA, SOC 2 or CMMC readiness with a gap register
  • Incident response plan, rehearsed at least once a year
Typical length
6–16 weeks, then ongoing
Team
2–3 specialists
Starts with
Security assessment

04 / 5

Network design & deployment

Firewalls, switching, wireless and site-to-site links. Designed so a single failed circuit or access point degrades the network instead of stopping the business.

What you get

  • Site survey and heat-mapped wireless design
  • Firewall and switch configuration, documented and version-controlled
  • Multi-site VPN or SD-WAN with automatic failover
  • Segmentation for guest, staff, payment and operational devices
  • Cutover planned for the hours your business is quietest
Typical length
3–10 weeks
Team
2–4 engineers
Starts with
Site survey

05 / 5

Virtual CIO

Technology decisions are piling up and there is nobody senior to make them. One of our principals takes the seat part time, with a budget, a roadmap and real authority.

What you get

  • Three-year technology roadmap tied to a budget
  • Vendor and contract review — we negotiate on your side of the table
  • Build-versus-buy decisions, written down with the reasoning
  • Board and insurer reporting on risk and spend
  • Hiring support when it is time for IT staff of your own
Typical length
6–24 months
Team
1 principal

We standardise so any engineer can support any client, but we are not resellers — every licence is bought in your name and you keep it if you leave. If something on this list is wrong for your situation, the assessment says so in writing, with the reason.

Not sure which one you need? That is what the assessment is for.
