Professional services
Quiet, compliant environments that let the billable work happen.

Client data, timesheets and compliance obligations leave zero room for 'she'll be right'. We build quiet, compliant environments that let the billable work happen.

Our take

Professional services businesses are the category most exposed to the consequences of a bad IT day. A data breach carries fines and reputational damage, a backup failure loses billable history, a ransomware event shuts down client work for days. The good news is the defences are well-understood and unexciting: proper MFA, EDR on every device, tested backups, email security, and document access that matches roles rather than honour system. We roll all of this out as part of a managed plan and document every step.

Common problems

The IT problems we see over and over.

After ten years working with professional services clients, some patterns repeat. None of these are unusual. All of them are fixable.

  • Shared mailboxes with no MFA

  • Client documents stored in someone's personal OneDrive

  • Backup that hasn't been tested since it was set up

  • Staff using the same password across a dozen systems

  • No plan for what happens if ransomware hits
