Network security for small offices

Your office network is probably wide open.

Most growing companies run a flat network — staff laptops, servers, printers and guest Wi-Fi all on the same wire, with nothing stopping anyone reaching anything. It works fine until it doesn't. I fix that, for a fixed price, without the enterprise consulting bill.

Four questions worth asking

If you answer "no" or "I'm not sure" to any of these, your network has a gap that is cheap to close now and expensive to close later.

01 Can staff browse any website they want?
With no filtering, one click on a phishing link compromises a laptop on your network — and nothing stops it reaching your servers next.
02 Are servers on the same network as laptops?
If one laptop is infected it can reach your business apps and source code directly. Segmentation is the difference between one bad laptop and a bad quarter.
03 Does anyone actually patch the servers?
Most small-office breaches exploit a vulnerability that had a fix available months earlier. Nobody applied it because nobody owned it.
04 How do people work from home?
Shared passwords, an open remote-desktop port, or a VPN nobody configured properly. Remote access is where most small offices are quietly exposed.
If this sounds like your office, you are not unusual. Almost every company under 200 people has some version of these four gaps. None of them need expensive hardware to fix — they need someone who knows what to configure, and in what order.

Small Office Security Starter Pack

All four gaps closed. Three weeks. One fixed price.

₹75,000
Fixed · 50% upfront
Consulting & design only

Web filtering & internet policy

Blocking of malware, phishing and inappropriate categories at the DNS layer. Deployed on your existing setup — no new hardware. Includes a written acceptable-use policy your staff can actually read.

Network segmentation design

A VLAN scheme separating staff, servers, guests and devices, with an access matrix defining exactly what can reach what. Switch configuration templates included for your IT vendor to apply.

Secure remote access

A work-from-home design with multi-factor authentication, so people reach only what they need. No shared passwords, no exposed ports.

Patching & vulnerability baseline

An asset inventory, a first vulnerability scan with prioritised findings, and a simple patching routine your team can maintain without a dedicated security person.

What the price does not include

Hardware. Firewalls, switches, access points, servers. If new equipment is needed, I'll tell you exactly what to buy and why — you purchase it directly from the vendor at their price.

Software licences. Filtering subscriptions, VPN seats, antivirus, scanning tools. Most of what I recommend has a free tier that works fine at your size; where a paid licence is genuinely needed, I'll say so before we start.

Physical installation. Cabling, rack work, on-site device swaps. Your existing IT vendor handles this — I provide the configuration they apply.

Ongoing management. This is a design and setup engagement with written handover, not a managed service. Monthly support is available separately if you want it.

I don't resell hardware, take vendor commissions, or earn anything from what you buy. That's deliberate — it means my recommendation is the cheapest thing that solves your problem, not the most expensive thing I can sell you.

Delivered remotely over three weeks. Every deliverable is a written document you keep — designs, policies, and a remediation list — not a verbal handover.

Check if it fits

Or start with one piece

Not every office needs everything at once. Each of these stands alone, and the fee is credited if you later take the full pack. All prices are for consulting and design — hardware and licences are never included.

Entry point

Security health check

A structured review of your current setup — firewall rules, network layout, exposed services, remote access. You receive a written findings report with every issue rated by risk, and a clear order to fix them in.

₹25,000~1 week
Design work

VLAN & segmentation design

A complete segmentation plan: zones, VLAN scheme, inter-zone access rules, and ready-to-apply switch configuration. Your existing IT person or vendor implements it — I design it correctly.

₹35,000~1 week
Quick win

Web filtering & control

Stop staff reaching malicious or inappropriate sites, and block malware and phishing domains before they load. Deployed in days, on your existing network, with no new equipment to buy.

₹20,0002–3 days

How this works

No sales calls, no lengthy proposals, no surprises on the invoice.

You describe your office five minutes, free

Fill in the form below. Roughly how many people, what you have in place today, what is worrying you. Nothing sensitive — no passwords, no IP addresses, no network diagrams.

I read it and answer honestly within 48 hours

If it's a fit, I'll say what I'd recommend and what it costs. If it isn't — if you need something I don't do, or if you don't actually need me yet — I'll tell you that instead.

We talk properly 45 minutes, ₹1,999

A paid call, because it keeps my calendar for people who are serious. Afterwards you receive a written summary of your requirements and my recommended approach — yours to keep, whether or not you hire me.

Work begins, if you want it fixed price, agreed upfront

Half upfront, half on delivery. Scope agreed in writing before anything starts, including anything you'll need to buy separately. A mutual NDA is signed before you share a single configuration file.

Start here

Tell me about your office

Takes about five minutes. I read every submission myself.

Don't share passwords, IP addresses, or configuration files here. That comes later, under NDA.
Every enquiry is read by me personally. Not a chatbot, not an assistant.
If I can't help you, I'll say so plainly and point you somewhere useful.
The ₹1,999 consultation fee is credited against any engagement you go ahead with.
Please use a company email address. Enquiries from free email accounts aren't reviewed — it's the simplest way I have of keeping this open to real businesses without adding forms and hoops.
Who you are

Must be a company domain. Free accounts (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Rediffmail) are not accepted.
