Our consulting services put expert knowledge and experience to work on any of your business’s IT or cybersecurity needs.
Network Design
If you are moving to a new location or adding new personnel / staff, Zippie IT can help you determine the optimal design for your network. We can also come and test your connections, and even your Wi-Fi capabilities. That way you can ensure that employees can access the network from where they need to on your premises. We can also help provide suggestions on ways to improve the network and the security of the network.

We also provide options to help you adhere to the compliance requirements. Here are just some of the compliance frameworks we can help you with:

When consulting helps

- Your cyber insurance renewal is coming and you need to answer the technical questions accurately.
- You are growing, expanding or buying another business and need technical due diligence.
