IT Strategy & Roadmapping

We help fast-growing companies build a clear technology roadmap. No generic advice — strategic planning matched to where your business is actually going and what it actually needs.

Apple Device Management

New Macs ship straight to your employees, fully configured. Already have a fleet? We enroll the machines you own, clean up naming and ownership, and enforce encryption and passcodes across every one.

Endpoint Security

Managed detection and response, disk encryption, and DNS filtering on every device. Monitored, not just installed — because your data is worth protecting.

Google Workspace Security

Account hardening, MFA rollout, and mailbox audits. When a phishing email gets through, we lock things down fast and find out exactly what was touched.

Backup & Recovery

Cloud backup for email, files, and drives, with retention that meets your obligations — and departing staff archived before their accounts are closed.

Compliance & Vendor Management

We answer security questionnaires, document your controls, and manage your IT vendors — so the grant, audit, or contract requirement is handled and nothing gets lost between providers.

Who We Work With
Teams without
an IT department.

Organizations from 10 to a few hundred people that need IT done right — growing companies, professional offices, and nonprofits, including those with grant or compliance requirements.

Recent Work

15-person nonprofit, grant-funded security program

Brought an existing, mixed Mac fleet under management, deployed endpoint protection and password management, planned the move to cloud backup, and wrote the security documentation needed to secure county grant funding.

Why Four Black Dots
Small shop.
Big expertise.

We've been in the room when things go wrong. That experience is why our clients don't have to be.

01

Experience Across Industries

We've supported organizations through rapid growth, M&A transitions, security incidents, and infrastructure overhauls. We've seen what fails and what lasts — and that shows up in every decision we make.

02

Apple-First, Built for Business

Most MSPs bolt on Mac support as an afterthought. We built our practice around Apple. If your team runs macOS, you should work with people who actually know it.

03

We Do the Work — All of It

No outsourcing, no subcontractors, no delegation to someone you've never met. When you hire us, you get us. That's a direct line between your problems and the people solving them.

04

MDM Specialists from Day One

Zero-touch deployment isn't a feature we recently added to a service list. It's something we've been building, refining, and running in production environments for years.
