TALK TO OUR TEAM

Your IT Has A Story. COMPASS Reads It

COMPASS™ is our holistic IT strategy framework — built around your business, not a template. We listen, collaborate, and curate a precise collection of services that match where you are and where you're heading, delivered through level, predictable spending

01

Assess

Find the full picture

We go deep across your network, security posture, cloud workloads, and Microsoft 365 environment. Not a surface scan — a complete diagnostic. We find what's actually there before anyone builds a plan.

02

Align

Connect IT to the business

Findings become a prioritized roadmap — not a list of fixes, but a 30/60/90-day plan tied to business impact. We walk you through what we found, what it means for your organization, and what to address first.

03

Advance

Execute and evolve

The roadmap ends with a strategy session — not a PDF in your inbox. We sit with your team, walk through what we found, and align on what happens next. From there, execution is a decision you make with full information.

Our 4 Essential Assessments

Before any plan gets built, we need to know what's actually running. Every engagement starts here.

NETWORK

You can't protect what you haven't fully mapped.

Most network inventories are incomplete. Assets get added, configurations drift, and nobody has a current picture of what's on the network, how old it is, or what's creating risk. We map everything — on-premise and cloud — and give you the honest view of what's running your business.

What we typically find

  • —Devices on your network nobody knew were there
  • —Hardware running past end-of-life with no replacement plan
  • —Wireless access points with no security policy behind them
  • —Endpoints that haven't been patched in months
  • —No disaster recovery plan — or one that's never been tested
  • +And more uncovered during the full assessment
CYBERSECURITY

Having a firewall is not a security posture.

We assess every layer — perimeter, endpoint, identity, cloud — and find the gaps between what you think is covered and what actually is. The difference is usually significant.

What we typically find

  • —MFA enabled on some accounts but not enforced on all
  • —Endpoints with outdated or misconfigured protection
  • —An attack surface nobody has mapped since the environment was built
  • —Admin accounts with more access than the role requires
  • —Email filtering active but phishing simulation never run
  • +And more uncovered during the full assessment
    • MICROSOFT 365

    You're paying for licenses you're not fully using -- or fully securing.

    M365 is almost always misconfigured, underlicensed in some areas, overlicensed in others, and running on default security settings that leave real exposure. We find what you're paying for that you're not using, and what you're not protecting that you should be.

    What we typically find

  • —Licenses assigned to former employees still active
  • —Intune and Defender included in the license, neither running
  • —No DLP policies in place
  • —SharePoint permissions that have grown completely ungoverned
  • —Accounts with no MFA and no conditional access policy
  • +And more uncovered during the full assessment
    • MICROSOFT AZURE

    Cloud spend is almost always higher than it needs to be.

    Azure environments accumulate cost and risk the same way on-premise environments accumulate technical debt -- gradually, invisibly, until someone looks. We review your entire Azure footprint for spend efficiency, security posture, and configuration gaps.

    What we typically find

  • —Resources running that nobody is actively using
  • —Storage accounts exposed to the internet
  • —Roles with far more permissions than the job requires
  • —Spend that has grown month over month with no review
  • —Misconfigured firewalls that look active but are not enforcing policy
  • +And more uncovered during the full assessment
