We're Andrew and Laura - your neighbors, both veterans, and career technology consultants. We help local businesses lock down what they already own, stay ahead of scams, and put AI to work without the hype. In plain English, at prices that make sense for a small business.
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, your point-of-sale system, your router - they all have real protection built in. Most of it just isn't turned on. We start there, not with new bills.
The threat to a small business isn't a hacker in a hoodie - it's a fake invoice, a payroll-change email, a compromised password reused everywhere. Defending that is mostly setup and habits.
Used well, AI answers your email faster, keeps your books tidier, and gives you hours back. Used badly, it leaks your customer data. We set it up the right way and teach you to drive.
Flat, agreed-up-front pricing after a free chat about your setup. No contracts that outlive their usefulness, no meters running.
Maybe less than you fear, and we'll say so. Small businesses get hit because they're easy, not because they're valuable targets. A one-time checkup usually closes the easy doors, and for many businesses that plus good habits is genuinely enough.
Our first move is always turning on the protection you already pay for through Google, Microsoft, your bank, and your point-of-sale vendor. If something new is truly needed, it goes in the report with a price and a reason, and you decide.
Examples from real small businesses: drafting replies to routine customer emails, summarizing invoices and receipts for the bookkeeper, answering staff questions from your own policy documents, and reminders that write themselves. We connect it to what you have and teach your team to use it safely.
Flat and in writing before we start. The checkup is a one-time fee based on the size of your setup, care plans are a fixed monthly amount, and AI projects are quoted per project. The first conversation is free and ends with a number, not a pitch.
The two people on the business card. Andrew handles security and technology, Laura runs projects and keeps everything on schedule. Both U.S. military veterans, both living right here. Bigger security teams with a SIEM should see our specialist practice.
Tell us what kind of business you run and what's bugging you about your tech. Coffee around Verrado works too.
