Technology and Security for Modern Professional Firms
Remote & Hybrid Work
We help employees work securely from offices, homes, client locations, and the field through managed computers, cloud services, multifactor authentication, secure file sharing, protected remote access, and appropriate permissions.
Employee Lifecycle & Standardization
We help standardize supported devices and applications, onboard employees, configure accounts, assign appropriate access, maintain documentation, and promptly remove access when employees or contractors leave.
Technology Vendor Coordination
We coordinate with business-software, cloud, internet, phone, copier, website, CRM, document-management, accounting, payroll, and equipment vendors so your team is not left determining which provider owns the problem.
Technology Supporting the Entire Firm
Your primary business applications depend on a wider technology environment to remain accessible, secure, and reliable.
Depending on your organization and service agreement, Simplicity can help manage and coordinate:
- Employee computers, laptops, and supported mobile devices
- Servers, firewalls, switches, and wireless networks
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Email, identity, and multifactor authentication
- Cloud file sharing and collaboration platforms
- CRM and customer-management systems
- Project-management and workflow applications
- Document-management and client-portal platforms
- Accounting, payroll, billing, and timekeeping systems
- Secure remote access and multi-office connectivity
- Printers, scanners, copiers, and phone systems
- Backups, recovery, and business-continuity planning
- Internet, software, cloud, phone, and equipment vendors
When a specialized business application requires assistance from its publisher, we work with that vendor while addressing the computers, servers, networks, accounts, backups, and security controls within our scope.
Protecting Client Information and Business Operations
Professional services cybersecurity involves more than antivirus software. Firms must consider confidential client information, email compromise, payment fraud, remote work, cloud applications, employee access, third-party vendors, backups, and operational recovery.
Simplicity can help your organization address technical areas such as:
- Device, server, cloud, application, and network inventories
- User authentication and access controls
- Multifactor authentication and administrative-account protection
- Email filtering and business email compromise protection
- Endpoint, firewall, wireless, and network security
- Secure file sharing and protected remote access
- Cloud-account and collaboration-platform security
- Audit logging, monitoring, and alert escalation
- Security updates and vulnerability reduction
- Backup, disaster recovery, and continuity planning
- Employee onboarding, offboarding, and permission changes
- Technical documentation and available supporting reports
- Cyber-insurance and client security questionnaire support
- Remediation of identified technical risks
Simplicity provides technical and cybersecurity services that support an organization’s operational, contractual, insurance, privacy, and risk-management responsibilities. We do not provide legal advice, perform formal certification, or guarantee that technology controls alone satisfy every applicable requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of professional services firms does Simplicity support?
We support small and midsized consulting, engineering, architecture, insurance, real estate, staffing, association, and related professional services organizations when their technology environment and support requirements align with our capabilities.
Do you support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes. Depending on the organization’s environment and service agreement, we can assist with administration, account security, multifactor authentication, email configuration, collaboration, file sharing, employee access, migrations, and coordination with Microsoft, Google, and other cloud vendors.
Can you support our industry-specific business applications?
We support the computers, servers, networks, cloud platforms, accounts, databases, backups, and security controls used by many business applications. When an issue requires the application publisher or a specialist, we coordinate with that vendor and address the surrounding technology within our scope.
Can you support remote and hybrid employees?
Yes. We can help secure remote work through managed computers, multifactor authentication, protected cloud access, secure file sharing, appropriate permissions, remote-support tools, and secure access to supported business systems.
How do you help protect confidential client information?
Technical protections may include managed endpoint security, email filtering, multifactor authentication, access controls, secure file sharing, patch management, firewalls, backups, logging, monitoring, account reviews, and secure employee onboarding and offboarding.
Can you help reduce phishing and payment-fraud risk?
We help reduce email-related risk through filtering, multifactor authentication, account-security controls, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, administrative protections, monitoring, employee awareness, and documented verification procedures for unusual banking, payment, payroll, or account-change requests.
Can you help us recover after ransomware or data loss?
We help design and manage backup and recovery systems, establish restoration priorities, investigate technical issues, coordinate recovery, and work with appropriate insurance, legal, forensic, cloud, software, and equipment providers when required. Recovery depends on available backups, selected services, affected systems, and the nature of the incident.
Can you help with cyber-insurance or client security requirements?
We can help assess technical safeguards, document the supported environment, implement approved controls, and provide available technical reports. Legal interpretation, formal certification, insurance representations, and contract review remain the responsibility of the organization and its qualified advisors.
Are major migrations and technology projects included in managed IT?
Routine administration and support may be included according to the service agreement. Major cloud migrations, office moves, server replacements, network upgrades, application transitions, and other substantial projects are generally scoped and priced separately unless specifically included.
What support hours are available?
Live local support is available from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Help desk availability and after-hours escalation are provided according to the organization’s service agreement. After-hours escalations may be billable.
How do we begin?
The process begins with a conversation about your employees, offices, remote-work requirements, business applications, current technology provider, recurring problems, security concerns, backups, vendors, and plans for growth. We can then determine whether an assessment, project, or managed-service proposal is appropriate.
Discuss Your Firm’s Technology and Security Needs
Your technology should help employees serve clients, collaborate securely, protect business information, and work efficiently without preventable downtime or vendor confusion.
Schedule a consultation to discuss your employees, applications, offices, remote-work requirements, security concerns, backups, vendors, and plans for growth.
