    Who it's for

    Where we work inside Houston

    National providers see Houston as one more ticket queue. We live here, and we plan IT around the way each part of the city does business.

    01

    Downtown Houston

    Law firms, financial offices and corporate tenants in high-rise space, where building network rules and after-hours access shape every project.

    02

    The Energy Corridor

    Energy, engineering and oilfield service firms along I-10 West whose enterprise customers send detailed vendor security questionnaires.

    03

    Galleria and Uptown

    Wealth managers, accountants, brokers and retailers who need tight email security and Microsoft 365 that simply works.

    04

    Westchase

    Mid-sized offices and back-office operations that want help desk coverage and a documented network without a full in-house team.

    05

    Memorial

    Medical, dental and professional practices around Memorial City and the Katy Freeway that handle patient and client records every day.

    06

    Greenway Plaza

    Professional firms in Greenway's towers that move suites and add seats, and need clean cutovers when they do.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Day-to-day IT support and monitoring, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 and cloud, network infrastructure, backup and disaster recovery, IT strategy, Talos Connect business phones, and compliance support for HIPAA, PCI and Texas data privacy rules. You can take the whole stack or the parts your own staff do not cover.

    Most Houston small and mid-sized businesses invest $100 to $300 per user per month. The figure moves with how complex your systems are, which compliance rules apply and how much security tooling you need. It is a flat per-user price with no long-term contract.

    All of it, including Downtown, the Energy Corridor, Galleria and Uptown, Westchase, Memorial and Greenway Plaza, plus Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, League City, Pasadena, Conroe and Galveston. Each of those suburbs has its own page.

    Yes. Monitoring and support run 24/7/365, including nights, weekends, holidays and live weather events such as tropical storms and hurricanes, when Houston offices tend to need help most.

    Several layers that back each other up: next-generation endpoint protection with EDR, email security and anti-phishing, MFA with conditional access, DNS filtering, vulnerability scanning, 24/7 security monitoring, awareness training with simulated phishing, and a written incident response plan.

    Yes. We run Microsoft 365, Azure and hybrid migrations from planning to cutover, schedule the switch for a weekend so work is not interrupted, harden identity along the way and right-size licenses so you stop paying for seats nobody uses. Engineers stay on call through the cutover window.

    Backups are immutable and air-gapped, replicated to a location outside the storm cone, and paired with failover we test and a written runbook your team can follow with the power out. Hurricanes, flooding and grid failures are planned for alongside ransomware.

    No. Agreements are month-to-month. If we stop earning your business, you can leave without a penalty.
