FAQ

Questions we get asked

Do you sell managed services or hardware?

No, and that’s on purpose. We don’t provide ongoing IT support, resell hardware or take referral fees. If we find you a better price on equipment, we point you to it and you buy it directly.

What types of businesses do you work with?

Small and mid-sized businesses, wherever they’re located. Most of our work can be done remotely.

What does an MSP Audit involve?

A review of your agreement, invoices, security setup, asset inventory and admin access, followed by a written report and a findings meeting.

What does a cybersecurity assessment involve?

We evaluate your current systems, identify vulnerabilities and gaps, and deliver a practical security plan with prioritized next steps. No jargon, no unnecessary upsells.

Do you build custom apps or use templates?

Custom. Everything is built around how your business works.
