Brian’s bakery, a local Reno institution for over 30 years, lost everything. Not to a fire, or a flood, but to ransomware. A single click on a malicious link brought down their point-of-sale system, their ordering platform, and access to critical recipes and supplier information. The estimated cost? Over $350,000 in lost revenue, recovery expenses,…
Brian, the owner of a rapidly growing Reno accounting firm, found himself in a nightmare scenario.

Camila, the owner of a fast-growing e-commerce boutique, learned the hard way that “cloud” doesn’t automatically equal “secure.” She’d moved her entire operation – inventory, customer data, financials – to a popular cloud provider, believing she’d drastically reduced her IT burden and, crucially, her security risk. Then came the ransomware attack. A sophisticated phishing campaign…
Brian lost everything. Not just his practice – 18 years building a reputation in Reno – but the meticulously curated patient records, the specialized equipment, and the trust of a community he served.

Valentina’s Reno bakery was losing money – not because the pastries weren’t amazing, but because her point-of-sale system crashed every Saturday morning, the busiest day of the week. Each outage cost her an estimated $3,000 in lost sales and frustrated customers. She’d cobbled together a solution with various apps and a well-meaning nephew, but it…
Brian’s Reno-based landscaping business nearly evaporated last spring. A freak hailstorm – unheard of for the high desert – totaled every company vehicle in a single afternoon. Not the vehicles themselves were the biggest problem, though. It was the data. Customer lists, scheduled appointments, invoicing… everything lived on those laptops. Brian spent weeks recreating lost…
Brian, the owner of a rapidly expanding construction firm here in Reno, found himself in a crisis. He’d landed a huge contract – a multi-million dollar resort development – but his existing team was drowning. Project timelines were slipping, costs were escalating, and he was facing penalties from the client every single day. He’d tried…
Brian, the owner of a growing construction firm, was facing a crisis. His team relied on outdated, on-premise phone systems that couldn’t keep up with their expanding operations. A key project bid was jeopardized because the team missed critical follow-up calls while on job sites – calls that ultimately went to competitors. The lost bid…
Brian, the owner of a Reno-based construction firm, called me in a panic last month.
