For businesses that can't afford a week offline

Lock down your network. Reduce your risk.

  • Senior engineers design and run your security, not a help-desk queue
  • Firewalls, access control, monitoring, and backups built to work as one system
  • A prioritized plan, so you know what to fix first and why
  • A 30-minute intro call to understand your situation before anyone talks solutions

Start with a 30-minute intro call

No pitch, no contract. We listen first. On the call:

  • You tell us about your business, your network, and what prompted you to reach out
  • We ask the questions that tell us whether we can help
  • You get a straight answer on fit, and what the next step would be if there is one

Your details carry over, so you only choose a time. You'll get a confirmation and a reminder.

An incident always costs more than preventing it.

We build layered protection into every part of your IT, so one phishing email, one lost laptop, or one missed patch doesn't turn into a shutdown. Not sure which of these applies to you? That's what the intro call is for.

Network security

Firewalls, segmentation, access control, and monitoring designed as one system, so an attacker who gets past one layer runs into the next.

Managed IT

We monitor, patch, and maintain everything, and fix problems before your staff feel them. One predictable monthly fee.

Learn about managed IT

IT support and consulting

Talk to an engineer who knows your environment, not a stranger reading a script. On site or remote, whichever gets it fixed faster.

Cloud services

Microsoft 365 and cloud workloads set up securely from day one, so convenience never becomes exposure.

Learn about cloud services

Backup and disaster recovery

Tested backups and a rehearsed recovery plan. When ransomware hits, you restore instead of negotiating.

Wi-Fi consulting

Wireless that's fast for your staff and locked down for everyone else, including guests and devices you didn't know were there.

Learn about Wi-Fi consulting

Managed EDR

Every laptop, desktop, and server watched around the clock. Suspicious behavior gets isolated and stopped before it spreads to the rest of the network.

Learn about managed EDR

Managed DNS and web security

Malicious sites, phishing pages, and command-and-control traffic blocked before the connection is made, on every device, in and out of the office.

Learn about DNS and web security

Managed email security

Phishing, spoofed senders, and malicious attachments filtered before they reach an inbox, because email is still the way most attacks start.

Learn about managed email security

Managed and co-managed NAC

Cisco ISE and Meraki Access Manager, designed, enforced, and run by engineers who do this every day. Nothing connects until it proves it belongs there. We run it for you, or share the console with your IT team.

Don't take our word for it.

Two clients, two Cisco platforms, two lean IT teams supporting more than a thousand users each. Here's what they said when the work was done.

Cisco Secure Access rollout, 700-plus machines

"Donald's deep technical knowledge and professionalism made the process seamless. Every challenge was met with clarity and confidence, ensuring a smooth rollout. Highly recommend Padlock's services for any network security initiative."

Cisco ISE assessment and remediation

"Our environment was running an older software version, which presented significant challenges for a team with limited resources and ISE expertise. This engagement significantly improved our ability to manage our enterprise network access securely and efficiently."

Cover of the guide Who's Really on Your Network?

Free guide: Who's really on your network?

Why network access control is essential, why it so often stalls, and how to get it enforced without building it yourself. Eighteen pages for IT managers and the owners they report to.

Most businesses find the gaps on the worst possible day.

A firewall the last IT company set up. Backups nobody has tested. Staff passwords on sticky notes. None of it feels urgent until the morning the systems don't come up.

Padlock Technologies is a boutique security practice, small on purpose. Our senior engineers know your network personally, decide what matters most, and fix it in order. You get fewer surprises and a straight answer when you ask, "Are we okay?"

Book my 30-minute callStart with the intro call. We'll listen first, then tell you if we're the right people to answer it.

The engineers other IT companies call

When other managed service providers in Delaware County hit a network or security problem their team can't solve, they escalate it to us. That's the depth every Padlock client gets from day one.

Our engineers hold certifications from Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Datto, and CompTIA.

Talk to one of those engineers, not a salesperson. Book the call.

Who we work with

We're a small firm by design, so we're selective about where we can do our best work. Here's how to tell if that's you.

A good fit

  • Growing businesses and lean IT teams, from 10 employees to 1,000-plus users, in Greater Philadelphia or with a presence here
  • An insurer, auditor, customer, or your own gut telling you security needs real attention
  • You want one accountable team, not a vendor for every tool
  • You're ready to fix things in order of risk, not in order of cheapest

Probably not a fit

  • You're shopping for the lowest-priced help desk
  • You want a tool installed and nobody managing it
  • You'd rather a vendor tell you everything is fine than show you what isn't
  • You're not in a position to act on findings this year

Book my 30-minute callSound like you? Book the call. Not sure? Book it anyway and we'll tell you.

You might be thinking…

"We already have an IT company."

Most of our clients did too. Many keep them for day-to-day support and bring us in for security, or move to us entirely. Either way, the intro call costs you nothing, and if an assessment follows, the report is yours to hand to whoever you choose.

"We're too small to be a target."

Attackers don't pick targets. Automated tools scan every public address and every inbox, and a 30-person firm with weak backups is an easier payday than a bank. Size decides how badly an incident hurts, not whether you get one. Thirty minutes on the phone is a small price to find out where you stand.

"We can't afford enterprise security."

You can't afford enterprise overhead. Layered security built from the right tools, run by people who know them, is a monthly line item, and it's priced in writing before you commit. The intro call is where we learn enough to quote it.

"What does the call commit me to?"

Nothing. It's an intro call: thirty minutes to understand your situation, no contract, no follow-up sequence. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you to someone who is.

When to call now rather than later

Cyber-insurance renewal within 90 days

The questionnaire asks about MFA, EDR, backups, and access control. Answering "no" raises your premium or voids coverage. Fixes take weeks, so the clock is already running.

A client or auditor questionnaire on your desk

HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, or a big customer's vendor review. These have deadlines you didn't set, and "we're working on it" is not an answer they accept twice.

A close call

A phishing email someone almost clicked, a laptop that went missing, an ex-employee who still had access. Near misses are the cheapest warning you'll ever get.

How we reduce your risk

1

Assess

We start with a fixed-scope assessment of your network, controls, and backups, priced before it begins. You get a written report of where you're exposed, ranked by how badly it would hurt, and it's yours whether or not you hire us for the rest.

2

Plan

You get a prioritized plan and a fixed monthly price. What to fix first, what can wait, and what it costs. No surprises.

3

Protect

We close the gaps, then monitor, patch, and manage your environment so they stay closed as your business changes.
