Services
One Partner. The Whole Picture.
You might think you need three separate experts: one for cybersecurity, one for IT, and one for cloud. You don't. I've held each of those roles inside businesses like yours and delivered results in all of them. That lets me build one cohesive plan around what your business actually needs. And because I do the work personally, you get one trusted partner and one point of accountability, from strategy through execution.
IT Consulting
Find out whether you're getting full value from your IT team, your systems, and your outside providers, and whether problems get solved quickly.
Fractional CISO
Part-time security leadership. Someone who owns your security plan, answers to you, and costs a fraction of a full-time executive.
Security & IT Architecture
Hands-on design and build work for your network, systems, and security. Done right the first time, and documented so your team can run it.
Cloud Transformation
Move from aging in-house servers to the cloud (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or both) on schedule and securely.
Vendor & IT Team Oversight
When your IT providers, software vendors, and in-house team don't work well together, I get everyone pulling in the same direction, and hold them to what they promised.
About
Hi, I'm Jon
I'm Jon Taylor. For 15 years I've been the person businesses rely on when security and IT problems get hard: when a deadline can't move, an audit is coming, or a key person leaves mid-project. I've done that work from the inside, and I bring the same ownership to every client.

How I work
How I Price My Work
I price around results, not hours. When the scope is clear, you get a fixed price agreed before work begins. Some work can't be fully scoped up front: discovery, or projects that depend on vendors delivering their part. For those I bill hourly, with an estimate and a cap I won't go past without your approval, and regular updates so you always know where things stand. For longer projects, I tie part of my fee to reaching agreed milestones, so you're paying for progress, not just time. Either way, the goal is the same: solving the problem, not running up the clock.
More about working with meWhat You Can Count On
Clear pricing up front. A fixed price when the scope is clear; an estimate and a cap when it isn't. No surprise invoices.
Direct access to me. The person you hire is the person who does the work.
Honest guidance. Including when something isn't worth the investment.
Results ahead of schedule. That's been the pattern of my career.
