Decisions before spend

Consulting Services

An honest read on what you have and what it should cost.

Assessments, architecture, and roadmaps from engineers who will be held to the result — not a report that ends in a sales pitch for hardware.

What's included

Paid advice, so the advice can be inconvenient.

IT assessments & roadmaps

A plain inventory of what you run, what is at end of life, and what to fix in what order.

Network architecture design

Segmentation, redundancy, and capacity designed for how the building is actually used.

Compliance readiness

Gap analysis against HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, the FTC Safeguards Rule, or whichever framework your examiners or funders care about, with evidence you can produce.

Vendor & carrier selection

Requirements, bid comparison, and negotiation help — including telling you when the incumbent is fine.

Cyber risk review

Where an incident would actually hurt, ranked by likelihood and what it would cost to close.

Budget & lifecycle planning

A three-year replacement and spend plan a finance committee can approve without translation, the same roadmap a vCIO would bring to a quarterly review.

Who this is for

Boards asking hard questions, and directors who need a defensible plan.

Every industry we serve pulls on this area differently. Jump to yours to see what it usually looks like.

How engagements run

No mystery scope, no surprise change orders.

  1. 01

    Walk it

    We look at the space, the stack, or the drawing set before quoting anything.

  2. 02

    Scope it

    A fixed written scope: what is included, what is not, who does what, and when.

  3. 03

    Run it

    One project manager owns it end to end and stays your contact after handoff.

Common questions

Before you call.

More plain answers →

Do you have to be our MSP afterward?

No. Assessments are sold and delivered on their own, and the deliverable is yours to shop to any managed service provider.

How long does an assessment take?

A single-site review is typically a few weeks from kickoff to presented findings.

Who presents the findings?

The engineer who did the work, to whoever needs to hear it — including a board or finance committee.
