Industries we serve
IT Services for Government
You answer to residents for public services and the data behind them, usually without anybody on staff whose job is technology.
IT Challenges for Municipalities and Townships
No in-house technical staff
Most townships and municipalities have nobody dedicated to IT. It usually falls to a clerk or an administrator, on top of the job they were elected or hired to do.
Public bodies are known targets
Public sector organizations are attacked because they hold useful data and are widely assumed to be under-resourced. That assumption is often correct, and it's the part worth changing.
Public records cut both ways
You have to retain records and produce them on request, and protect the ones that aren't public. Those are two different obligations on the same systems.
Budgets are annual and public
Spending is planned a year ahead and reviewed in the open, so a surprise replacement is a difficult conversation as well as an expensive one.
Managed IT Support for Local Government
We become the technical staff you don't have. Residents and employees get systems that work, and nobody in your office has to become an accidental administrator. That's what fully managed IT covers.
We keep the systems holding resident information out of reach of the public counter, and we put real protection on the data that matters with the same cybersecurity services we run for private clients.
Ohio House Bill 96 requires cities, counties, townships and school districts to adopt a documented cybersecurity program aligned to a recognized framework. Our summary of HB 96 covers what it asks for and where the deadlines stand, and our compliance services help you build the program.
We plan replacements against your budget cycle, so a request can be written while there's still time to get it approved. That puts an aging server in next year's budget before it turns into an emergency purchase.

Common questions
How does this work with public procurement?
We're used to it. Quotes are itemized and written to be read by a board or a council and compared against others, because that's what your process requires and hiding costs in a bundle helps nobody.
We have almost no technology budget. Is it worth talking?
Yes, and we'll be straight about it. Sometimes a few specific problems need fixing and a full agreement isn't the right purchase. We'd rather tell you that than sell you something a future council cancels.
Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?
Yes. Insurers ask public entities the same specific questions they ask everyone, including multi-factor authentication, tested backups, monitored endpoints and security training. We help you answer accurately and fix what needs fixing first.
In one local government's onboarding, our inventory found that the firewall behind years of insurance answers had never been plugged in.
