Network Administration & Infrastructure Security

FortiGate-segmented environments. Cloud-native architecture on Cloudflare, Microsoft Azure, and AWS. Zero-exfiltration custody. Chain-of-custody governance.

Contract network administration for houses that cannot afford a breach — designed, deployed, documented, and administered by the principal who built it. Not a ticket queue. Not a delegated IT gap.

05 · Operations

Security Operations

Audit logging, SIEM integration, tamper-evident log pipelines
Incident response procedures, breach notification protocols
Secret management, key rotation, encryption at rest and in transit
Chain-of-custody documentation for all regulated data handling
Retention set by your policy and state law — not a blanket number

Recommended, not provided: long-term cold storage. We name vetted data vendors and stay accountable for the handoff — we do not hold the archive ourselves.

06 · Access

No Delegated IT Gap

You talk to the administrator who built it
Direct line to principal, not a ticket queue
Same-day response for critical issues

Who it's for

The houses that carry regulated weight.

Client type	Need	How we deliver
Regulated practices	HIPAA-compliant infrastructure for PHI handling	BAA-signed, FortiGate-segmented, audit-logged
Financial services	FedRAMP-aligned, confidential data custody	Azure GCC, zero-exfiltration, chain-of-custody
Family offices	Discreet, secure, non-attributable infrastructure	Private subdomains, blind supply chains, direct principal access
Corporate brands	Secure event infrastructure, protected pre-launch assets	Time-locked access, watermarking, virtual proofing
Healthcare billing	BAA/HIPAA direct-mail, coded communications	Encrypted output, sealed processing, USPS chain-of-custody

Engagement models

Scoped to where you are — from audit to retained administration.

Figures below are average market costs for this scope of work — a planning benchmark, not a quote. Final scope and pricing are confirmed in a written agreement or signed statement of work.

Tier	Scope	Average cost
Assessment	Network audit, compliance gap analysis, remediation roadmap	$2,500–$5,000
Implementation	Full design, deployment, migration, documentation	$10,000–$35,000
Managed services	Ongoing administration, monitoring, incident response, updates	$3,000–$8,000/mo
Emergency response	Breach containment, forensic logging, HHS notification support	$500/hr · 4-hr min

Contract network administration is retained monthly. Assessment and implementation are scoped once, documented, and handed over — you own the documentation either way.

Vendors we recommend

Not every environment should be run by the same house. Where a specialist is the better fit — regional field service, on-prem hardware, 24/7 SOC coverage, carrier circuits, or a platform we do not administer — we refer you to vendors we know and trust, and we say so plainly rather than stretch to cover it. Referrals carry the standard we hold ourselves to: a named contact, documented scope, and no handoff into a ticket queue.
