Eleven core services, one person to call.
Plain-English support across the IT stack a small business actually uses. Mix and match — pay only for what you need.
Microsoft 365
Email, files, identity — set up correctly and explained in plain English.
Endpoint & email security
MFA, endpoint protection, and email security done right — not a full cybersecurity practice, just the essentials handled well.
Mobile device management
Company phones and tablets enrolled, secured, and wiped remotely the day someone leaves.
Cloud migration
M365, Azure, AWS. We do the move, you keep working.
Computers & gear
New setups, repairs, data transfer. We come on-site when it matters.
AI & automation
AI voice receptionist and chatbot for your front desk, plus drafting and document handling.
AI consulting
Sit down with someone who has actually shipped this. We find the two or three places AI pays for itself in your business — and the places it doesn't.
VoIP & business phone
Teams Phone and VoIP setup — one number, ringing everywhere your team works.
HIPAA IT support
Security Risk Assessments, verified backups, and a BAA-ready compliance posture.
Disaster recovery & business continuity
Tested backups, a written recovery plan, and a real recovery time — not just "we back things up."
On/offboarding
New hires provisioned, departures locked out same day — accounts, files, and devices.

Our heat's out and it's supposed to freeze tonight. Is anyone there?
- AI receptionist
I'm the after-hours assistant for Ironclad Comfort. No heat overnight is an emergency — are you in the Chesterfield service area?
- Caller
Yes, Midlothian. Off Robious Road.
- AI receptionist
Covered. I've got you at 7am tomorrow, flagged no-heat with a freeze warning so it stays at the top. Text confirmation is on its way.
Job booked, 7:00am. Nobody woke up to a voicemail.
Businesses that let us use their names.
We don't just manage IT — we build websites too. Roofers, packagers, restorers: some hired us for the site, some for the network, some for both.
