What we do
IT, security, and private AI — under one accountable partner
Cybersecurity & Backup
MFA, least privilege, firewall and endpoint protection, and security policies. Backups are monitored and restore-tested, with written recovery runbooks.
Private / On-Prem AI
A private assistant that helps authorized staff find answers in your approved documents — your data stays under your control.
AI assists your team; it doesn’t replace legal, medical, accounting, or compliance judgment.
CMMC / NIST 800-171 Readiness Support
Readiness reviews, remediation planning, secure segmentation, and documentation support for defense contractors.
Readiness support only — we do not perform CMMC certification assessments.
Ways to get started
IT & Security Checkup
A mostly remote review of MFA, backups, access, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace settings, and updates & encryption — with a plain-English report of fixes ranked by priority.
$300–$500 flat fee, credited toward a project or managed plan started within 30 days.
WISP & FTC Safeguards Security Plan
The FTC Safeguards Rule requires tax preparers to keep a written information security plan. We build it with you in plain English, and your firm owns it. Fixing gaps is quoted separately.
