Our Technology Standards
Every environment we manage is built to the same baseline. Not because we like rules, but because most IT problems trace back to the same handful of gaps: a shared login here, a backup nobody's ever tested there. These standards close those gaps before they cost you anything.
Why We Hold a Standard
Faster Support
When every environment follows the same proven baseline, we already know how your systems are built before you call. Problems get diagnosed in minutes instead of hours, and plenty never happen at all.
Security Regulated Industries Actually Need
Patient records, client files, and tax documents don't belong on consumer-grade equipment. A home-office router from the ISP isn't a security boundary. Neither is antivirus somebody installed in 2019.
Audit-Readiness by Default
When a regulator, auditor, or client asks how your data is protected, a documented standard applied consistently is an answer. “Our IT guy handles it” isn't.
The Standards
Identity & Access
Multi-factor authentication on every business account. Every user gets their own login, because shared accounts make it impossible to know who did what. Admin access stays separate from daily-use accounts.
Devices
Business-class computers on a currently supported operating system, encrypted, and brought into our monitoring and patch management. Encryption means a lost laptop is an inconvenience instead of a breach notification.
Email & Cloud
Business-grade email and productivity tools (Microsoft 365), with email authentication configured so criminals can't send mail that looks like it came from you.
Network
A business-grade firewall and access points, with guest and personal devices kept off the systems that hold client data. The router your internet provider shipped doesn't count.
Data Protection
Managed, monitored backup for business-critical data. A backup nobody's ever restored from is a hope, not a plan.
Endpoint Security
Managed security software on every device we support, monitored from one place rather than left to each employee to keep updated.
Don't Meet These Today?
Almost nobody checks every box on day one. That's expected, and it's what the free assessment is for. We look at where your environment stands, rank the gaps by real risk, and fold the fixes into your roadmap with written pricing and timelines. Some gaps take an afternoon to close. Others wait for the next hardware cycle. Either way, you'll know exactly where you stand and what it costs before anything changes.
