Services

Five defined engagements. No bundled retainer.

Each service below is scoped, delivered, and closed out on its own — you bring us in for what you need, not a package sized for someone else's environment.

01

Network Design & Build

Routing, switching, VLANs, and wireless — designed for the building you actually have, with redundancy where it earns its cost and not a line item further.

What's included

  • Core & edge switch design, dual-core where uptime justifies it
  • VLAN segmentation and routing plan
  • Wireless site survey and AP placement
  • Cabling, optics, and rack layout specification
  • As-built documentation and network diagrams

Deliverables

  • Written design with hardware bill of materials
  • Cutover plan with a defined maintenance window
  • Configuration backups and change log
  • Topology diagram handed off in an editable format
Good fit if — your network was grown one switch at a time and needs a design instead of another patch.
02

Security Hardening

Access control, patching discipline, email authentication, and zero-trust rollout — scoped to close the gaps insurers and auditors flag first.

What's included

  • Security posture assessment against a named framework
  • Identity, access, and privilege review
  • Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and phishing exposure
  • Zero-trust network access rollout for remote admin
  • Patch management and endpoint hardening

Deliverables

  • Findings report ranked by exploitability, not alphabetically
  • Remediation plan sequenced by risk and effort
  • Documentation suitable for a cyber-insurance renewal
  • Follow-up verification pass after remediation
Good fit if — a renewal, audit, or incident has put your security posture on someone's calendar.
03

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Tested restore plans, not just backup jobs. If a host or a building goes down, you know exactly what comes back and how fast.

What's included

  • Recovery point and recovery time targets set per system
  • Backup job design and offsite/cloud replication
  • Full restore test, not a job-status screenshot
  • Failover run book for hypervisor or site loss

Deliverables

  • Written DR plan naming who does what, in what order
  • Recovery time results from an actual test restore
  • Annual test schedule and responsibility handoff
Good fit if — you have backups running but no one has verified they'd actually bring you back.
04

Cloud & Systems Migration

Server, storage, and virtualization moves planned around your maintenance windows, with a rollback path at every step.

What's included

  • Current-state inventory and dependency mapping
  • Hypervisor, storage, or cloud-platform migration plan
  • Staged cutover with a tested rollback at each phase
  • Post-migration validation against baseline performance

Deliverables

  • Migration runbook with phase-by-phase sign-off points
  • Updated architecture and inventory documentation
  • Decommission checklist for retired systems
Good fit if — aging hardware or a licensing deadline is forcing a platform decision.
05

Fractional IT Advisory

Budget planning, vendor review, and roadmap work for organizations that need senior judgment without a full-time hire.

What's included

  • Annual IT budget and capital-refresh planning
  • Vendor and contract review, including renewals
  • Technology roadmap tied to organizational plans
  • Standing advisory time for board or leadership questions

Deliverables

  • Quarterly written roadmap and budget update
  • Vendor scorecard with renewal recommendations
  • Direct line for leadership, on a defined response window
Good fit if — IT decisions are currently landing on someone whose job isn't IT.

How work is priced

Every engagement starts with an assessment. What follows depends on the work, not a tier.

Fixed-scope

Project engagement

A defined deliverable — a network build, a hardening pass, a migration — quoted as a flat fee once the scope is set.

Hourly

Assessment & advisory

Time-based work for audits, roadmap sessions, and advisory hours where the scope is inherently open-ended.

Monthly

Standing advisory

A recurring block of advisory time for organizations that want continuity without a project every quarter.
