Managed IT + security for small businesses

We run your technology.
You run your business.

We watch it, fix it, and answer for it. Your network, email, backups, computers and cloud accounts, handled by one team, with a plain-English word whenever something needs you.

THE OPERATIONS DESK Each lit window is a business we look after. Every line leads to one desk. Illustration.
How we work

Four doors. One desk.

Every part of your business writes down what happens to it. A firewall logs every connection. Your cloud accounts log every sign-in. Your backups log every job. Your computers log every problem. Alone, each log is noise nobody reads. Together, on one desk with a person reading them, they tell the story of your business.

Door 1 · The front door

Your firewall

The firewall records what it allowed and what it blocked. We review that activity as part of looking after your network.

Door 2 · The mailbox

Cloud accounts & email

Security alerts and odd sign-ins are pulled from your cloud account. Email authentication reports show who is sending mail in your name, including forgers.

Door 3 · The vault

Your backups

Each backup reports whether it ran, and the storage behind it reports its own health. A missed or failing job gets noticed before you need the data.

Door 4 · The desks

Your computers

Each machine reports missing patches, offline status and warnings, so a failing or neglected computer shows up as a ticket instead of a surprise.

The Operations Desk

Everything lands in one place. Software sorts the noise, a person reads what is left, and we act on it.

1 · Collect

Logs and alerts from all four doors flow in automatically.

2 · Sort

Routine noise is filtered so the unusual stands out.

3 · A person reviews

Someone reads the unusual items together, not one tool at a time.

4 · You hear what matters

We fix what we can and tell you the rest in plain English.

Example scenario · illustration, not a real client

Why one desk beats four tools

  1. Cloud accountsAn unusual sign-in to the owner's account from a state the business has never worked in.
  2. EmailA forwarding rule was just added that sends a copy of every message to an outside address.
  3. FirewallYour office network shows nothing unusual, so the sign-in did not come from inside.

Each alone could be shrugged off. Side by side, a person sees a likely stolen password and acts the same day.

Firewalls, explained

Your network's front door

A firewall is the guard in the doorway between your office and the internet, checking every visitor against a list of rules. See what it blocks, how we split your network into separate rooms, and how its log reaches our desk.

Email protection, explained

Anyone can put your name on a letter. Three checks stop it.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC: the return-address list, the signature seal and the mailroom instruction. Click through for the full walkthrough, the policy ladder and what a report looks like.
