Case studies

Security work in the real world

Remote islands, round-the-clock dispatch centers, job sites, and field crews. Every one of these environments had its own constraints, and every one needed security that didn’t get in the way of running the business.

Private island resort · Exuma Cays, Bahamas · 2022

Security audit and disaster recovery for a remote luxury resort

After a data-loss event, we led recovery for an ultra-private island operation, then audited people, systems, and access and rebuilt the infrastructure so it could withstand the next one.

Disaster recoveryAccess reviewHospitalityRemote operations

The challenge

A remote island has no local IT supply chain, limited connectivity, and guests who expect absolute discretion. When critical data was lost, the resort needed operations restored quickly and a clear picture of how exposed it really was.

Services involved

What we did

  • Led disaster recovery and restoration of business-critical data and systems
  • Conducted an internal audit of company resources, accounts, and personnel access
  • Identified orphaned accounts, shared credentials, and gaps in offboarding
  • Redesigned backups around offsite, tested, recoverable copies
  • Led an infrastructure improvement initiative covering network, endpoints, and remote management

The result

  • Operations restored with a documented, repeatable recovery process
  • Access tightened to the people and roles that actually needed it
  • Infrastructure and backups rebuilt with resilience in mind
Island tourist destination · Rose Island & Nassau, Bahamas · 2021

Secure long-range Wi-Fi for a tourist destination

We implemented and helped deploy a long-range wireless network for an island destination, keeping guest traffic isolated and the management plane locked down.

Wireless securityNetwork segmentationHospitalityTravel

The challenge

Visitors expect reliable Wi-Fi everywhere, but open guest networks spread across an island are an easy target. The destination needed wide coverage without handing attackers a path into its operations.

Services involved

What we did

  • Implemented the software platform for long-range Wi-Fi management
  • Assisted with hardware setup and installation in Nassau
  • Separated guest access from operational and management networks
  • Secured administrative access to network equipment and the management platform
  • Set up remote monitoring so issues could be spotted without a trip across the water

The result

  • Island-wide guest connectivity on a managed platform
  • Guest traffic isolated from business systems
  • Centralized, remotely monitored network management
Commercial construction firm · Alpharetta, Georgia · 2020

Hardened infrastructure and secure subcontractor collaboration

We modernized on-site infrastructure, built a cloud plan room for bids and subcontractors, and moved years of financial history into a new accounting platform without losing integrity.

ConstructionAccess controlData migrationSecure collaboration

The challenge

Construction firms share drawings, bids, and financial data with dozens of outside subcontractors — a favorite target for invoice fraud and business email compromise. The firm needed collaboration that didn’t mean opening the doors.

Services involved

What we did

  • Implemented new on-site network infrastructure
  • Designed a cloud plan room application (Laravel) for subcontractor and bid oversight, with role-based access for outside parties
  • Migrated historical financial data from ProContractor to Sage with validation and reconciliation
  • Applied least-privilege access to project documents and financial records

The result

  • External collaboration without shared passwords or open file shares
  • Financial history preserved and verified in the new system
  • A modern network foundation ready for monitoring and segmentation
Plumbing & mechanical contractor · Alpharetta, Georgia · 2018

Secure employee and contractor portal with a new office network

We architected a portal for employees and contractors and built out the network for a new office, giving a distributed workforce controlled access to what they need.

Identity & accessSecure portalsManaged servicesField services

The challenge

Field technicians and outside contractors need access to schedules, documents, and job data from anywhere. Without a controlled portal, that access tends to happen through personal email and shared logins.

Services involved

What we did

  • Architected an employee and contractor portal using PHP Laravel and Vue.js
  • Separated employee and contractor permissions by role
  • Transitioned staff into a new office and built out on-site network infrastructure
  • Provided managed services administration after the move

The result

  • One controlled front door for field and office staff
  • Contractor access limited to what each role requires
  • A clean, documented network in the new office
Transportation & dispatch company · Atlanta, Georgia · 2017

Mission-critical dispatch infrastructure and a secure cloud email migration

For a 24/7 transportation operation, we integrated a modern dispatch system on hardened on-premises infrastructure, migrated email to the cloud, and retired a legacy reservation system.

The challenge

A dispatch center can’t go dark. The company was running aging on-premises email and a legacy reservation system while trying to modernize the operation that keeps vehicles moving.

Services involved

What we did

  • Integrated, maintained, and monitored a modern dispatch system on on-premises infrastructure
  • Migrated an on-premises Exchange server to cloud email
  • Integrated all-new on-premises infrastructure into the onsite dispatch center
  • Migrated from a legacy reservation system to modern transportation management software

The result

  • A modernized dispatch center with no tolerance for downtime
  • An aging on-premises mail server retired in favor of managed cloud email
  • Legacy reservation data carried forward into a supported platform
