Case Studies
What happens after the contract.
These are representative engagements from the last few years across manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and financial services. The architectures are real, the numbers are ours, and company names are anonymized on request.
How we pick engagements to publish
Every engagement in this list has a concrete outcome the client agreed we could share, even with company names anonymized. The patterns that show up most often: vendor consolidation (three or four providers into one SLA), compliance audits passing on first attempt with zero findings, uptime holding through peak seasons at multi-location operators, and defense subcontractors hitting CMMC Level 2 before their prime customer's deadline.
What you'll see in each case study
The structure is consistent: the problem as the client stated it, the engagement week-by-week, the architecture that made it work, the quantified outcome, and what ongoing operation looks like after the initial win. Every case study is written by someone on our team who was personally involved in the engagement. No marketing ghostwriting.
Manufacturing
Mid-market manufacturer consolidates 3 vendors into 1
A 2,500-employee manufacturer was juggling one MSP, one MSSP, and one cloud vendor. Tickets ricocheted between them every time something broke. They moved everything to us. One contract, one architecture, one throat to choke.
Mean time to resolution dropped 60%.
Retail
National retailer: 99.99% uptime across 140 locations
Multi-location retailer running 140 stores needed resilient networking and round-the-clock NOC coverage. Our team monitors everything from store switches to the e-commerce stack through holiday peaks and normal Tuesday afternoons.
Storage failure caught and resolved at 2 AM before a single store opened.
Healthcare
Healthcare provider: HIPAA audit closed in half the time
A multi-specialty healthcare provider moved HIPAA compliance, ePHI protection, and 24/7 security monitoring to us. Their clinicians finally stopped being volunteered as the IT help desk on weekends.
HIPAA audit closed in 4 weeks instead of the typical 8-10.
Financial Services
Regional bank: SOC 2 + FFIEC back-to-back, zero findings
A community bank with $4.2B AUM had two consecutive audit cycles with deficiencies. The third cycle, after we took over their compliance ops, closed SOC 2 Type II and FFIEC CAT back-to-back with zero findings. Continuous evidence replaced the audit-season fire drill.
Audit preparation effort down 55%, from 14-16 weeks to 6-7 weeks.
Manufacturing / Defense
Defense subcontractor passes CMMC Level 2 in 90 days
A precision-machining tier-2 defense subcontractor had zero CMMC readiness and a prime contract depending on Level 2 certification. We took them from the starting gate to certified in 90 days. They kept the existing prime contract and won two more post-certification.
All 110 NIST 800-171 controls operational, zero production hours lost.
