Common questions
Do you only do B2B, or homes too?
B2B for this line. Home networking is handled separately at /networking. Business IT is a contract product because the access requirements (admin credentials, financial systems, regulatory data) deserve formal scope.
Do I have to be on a contract?
No. Per-incident is fine for businesses that don't want a recurring relationship. Contract works better when you have more than five workstations or any compliance overhead, because patching and backup checking is monthly work either way.
Can you handle compliance audits?
Yes for the IT side of HIPAA, PCI, and similar audits. We provide system documentation, access logs, and backup proof. Legal sign-off stays with your compliance attorney.
What about cybersecurity insurance requirements?
We map your stack to the insurance application: MFA on email, endpoint detection, backups, patch status, training. Most insurers will accept our documentation as evidence.
Do you work after hours?
Yes for emergencies and scheduled migrations. After-hours rates are higher; we quote up front.
What if I already have an internal IT person?
Co-managed works fine. We become the escalation tier for projects, vendor management, or expertise your internal IT doesn't cover. Clear handoff in writing so nothing falls through.
How do you handle ex-employees and data ownership?
Offboarding runbook per business: deprovision access, reassign mailboxes, export OneDrive / Drive, preserve a forensic copy if requested. We document so HR has proof for unemployment or compliance reviews.
