Firewall, Antivirus and Maintenance for a Five-Person Office
Not every engagement is a transformation. A five-person office needed the basics done properly: a real firewall, antivirus on every machine and regular maintenance so small problems stopped turning into big ones.
Very small offices often run on consumer equipment and good intentions: the router the internet provider supplied, whatever antivirus came with the laptops, and updates that happen when someone remembers. That works until it does not. The owner wanted the fundamentals handled by someone accountable, without paying for an enterprise stack a five-person office does not need.
The approach
Firewall
A business-grade firewall replaced the provider's router, configured with sensible rules, secure remote access and logging.
Antivirus and endpoint basics
Antivirus was deployed and managed on every machine, with updates and alerts handled centrally rather than laptop by laptop.
Regular maintenance
Patching, backup checks and routine health reviews were put on a schedule, so the office gets the maintenance a larger company takes for granted.
Right-sized engagement
The agreement covers what a five-person office needs and nothing it does not, month to month like every NetSys agreement.
