Information Technology Systems & Cybersecurity for Shopify Stores

Reliable IT systems and strong cybersecurity are foundational to any business that wants to grow without constant interruptions, frustration, and risk. As a lifelong computer geek and hacker with decades of experience deploying and managing IT systems for businesses of all sizes, I help Shopify-powered companies build the reliable infrastructure they need to operate smoothly, securely, and with minimal technical headaches.

Good IT isn’t flashy — it just works. But poor IT shows up everywhere: network outages, device misconfigurations, security incidents, frustrating access issues, and data loss. My goal is to design, deploy, and manage systems that keep your team productive, your data protected, and your risk minimized so you can focus on what really matters: growing your business.

Core IT Services I Provide

• Network design and security — secure, fast Wi-Fi, VPNs, segmentation, firewalls, and remote access solutions
• Workstation setup and management — laptops, desktops, peripheral configuration, backups, and cross-platform support
• Google Workspace — email, calendars, contacts, permissions, groups, and security policies
• Cloud infrastructure strategy — secure storage, file sharing, backups, and access control for distributed teams
• Device security — endpoint protection, patching, encryption, and anti-malware strategies that actually protect your data
• Policy and process — best practices, documentation, onboarding/offboarding, MFA enforcement, and disaster recovery planning

Cybersecurity Designed for Small Businesses

Cybersecurity isn’t just a checkbox — it’s an ongoing mindset and system of choices that protect your business, your team, and your customers. I focus on practical, effective cybersecurity practices that don’t slow you down but do dramatically reduce risk.

• Multifactor authentication (MFA) for all critical systems
• Access control and least privilege policies
• Secure password management practices and policy guidance
• Incident response planning so you’re prepared, not reactive
• Email security protection including spam/ spoofing defenses and training

Support That Scales with Your Business

Growth often reveals the limitations of DIY IT approaches: inconsistent backups, incomplete security settings, unclear access policies, mixed personal and business devices, and gaps in network reliability. I help plug those gaps before they become costly problems.

• Remote support and troubleshooting for distributed teams
• IT standardization and documentation so knowledge isn’t trapped in one person’s head
• Vendor evaluation and integration (VPN, firewall appliances, SSO providers, etc.)
• Ongoing IT health checks and security posture reviews

The result is a Shopify business that has the same level of technical reliability and protection you’d expect from a much larger company, without the complexity, cost, or ongoing headaches that traditional IT often entails. If you want your technology to be a support—not a bottleneck—this is where it starts.
