SERVICE 03 — IT ADVISORY

Someone technical in the room, without adding another salary.

Most small businesses either have no technical judgment in-house, or have one person carrying all of it alone. We sit outside that, help you think through decisions, and tell you plainly when a vendor or a plan doesn't add up.

SCOPE

What this covers, and what it doesn't

This is advisory, not support: guidance and decisions, not hands-on fixes.

In scope

  • Security policy and risk decisions
  • Vendor and provider evaluation
  • Tech budget and roadmap planning
  • Incident response planning (before something happens)
  • Cyber insurance and compliance questionnaire review
  • Translating between leadership and your IT provider

Not this

  • Help desk or day-to-day IT support
  • Managed services / MSP work
  • Monitoring workstations or servers
  • Troubleshooting individual user issues
WHO THIS IS FOR

Leadership without a technical peer

You've got an IT person or an MSP handling the day-to-day, but no one whose job it is to step back and ask whether the overall setup, spend, and risk actually make sense. That's this.

HOW IT WORKS

One-off, or an ongoing arrangement

Most of this is project-based: a specific decision, a specific review, a specific plan. If it makes more sense to have us available on an ongoing basis as your outside technical advisor, that works too, on a monthly arrangement, still advisory only.

01

Conversation

You tell us what's driving the need, a decision, a renewal, an incident scare, a board or insurer asking questions.

02

Assessment

We look at what's relevant, ask the questions that need asking, and give you a straight read, not a sales pitch for more work.

03

Recommendation

A clear answer or plan you can act on, or hand to your IT provider to execute. Ongoing availability if you want it, one-off if you don't.
