Professional Services
IT for professional services, across every location
Consultancies, agencies and engineering firms with people spread across states or countries. One standard of support regardless of where anyone sits.
Sector Focus
IT for professional services
Distributed teams, client data
Professional services firms were distributed before most industries were, and many have staff who have not sat in a company office in years. The IT problem is consistency: an employee in Denver should have the same experience as one at headquarters, including when something breaks.
This is exactly what remote-first delivery solves. There is no headquarters advantage in our model, because there is no headquarters visit. Everyone gets the same response from the same crew.
Client data across engagements
Your firm probably holds confidential material from multiple clients simultaneously, sometimes from competitors. Access control needs to reflect that, and increasingly clients audit it. We structure permissions around engagements, so someone working on one client's project cannot casually browse another's material.
Client security requirements
Larger clients send security questionnaires and sometimes impose contractual requirements: MFA, encryption, incident response commitments, occasionally specific certifications. We maintain the documentation to answer these accurately, and we will tell you when a client requirement means real work rather than a checkbox.
Collaboration and project systems
Most firms run some combination of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, a project management platform, time tracking, and file sharing with external parties. The integration points between these are where access control tends to leak, particularly external sharing that was enabled once for a specific purpose and never reviewed.
Scope
What we handle for you
The specifics that matter in your sector rather than a generic checklist.
Identical support in every location
No headquarters advantage, because there is no headquarters visit. Everyone reaches the same crew the same way.
Engagement-based access control
Permissions structured so client material is separated, which matters when you serve competing organizations.
Client security questionnaires
Documentation maintained so you can answer accurately, and a straight assessment when a requirement means real work.
Collaboration platform management
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, project systems and external sharing, with the sharing reviewed rather than accumulating.
Contractor and temporary access
Short-term access granted precisely and revoked on schedule rather than persisting indefinitely after a project ends.
Device management for remote staff
Encryption, patching and security enforced on machines that never touch a company network.
Common questions
Our team is in six states. Does that complicate things?
Not for us. Distributed teams are our normal case rather than an exception, and every employee gets the same support regardless of location. It is the specific problem the remote-first model solves best.
Clients send us security questionnaires. Can you help?
Yes, and this is an increasingly common request. We maintain documentation of your actual configuration so answers are accurate. Where a client requires something you do not currently have, we tell you what implementing it genuinely involves.
We use contractors on projects. How do we handle their access?
With time-bounded access tied to the engagement, granted precisely and revoked on a defined date rather than whenever someone remembers. Contractor access that persists after a project ends is one of the more common findings in our assessments.
