Services

What I deliver

AI first, built on solid security and infrastructure. I scope, build, and hand over each one myself.

  • Secure AI adoption

    I audit what AI can see, find shadow AI, and write your AI policy. I roll out Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot, train your team, and build MCP agents or open-source agents on self-hosted models. You get safe AI.

  • Custom software and DevOps

    I build apps, portals, and automations that connect your systems. AI-assisted development keeps costs down. For in-house developers, I add AI coding guardrails and pipelines that test, scan, and deploy. You own secure software.

  • Security architecture

    I harden identity, endpoint, email, and network controls around Zero Trust, including AI agent permissions. Purple-team exercises mapped to MITRE ATT&CK test them. You get a clear view of risk and ranked fixes.

  • Infrastructure, cloud, and workplace

    I build datacenters, run the Microsoft on-prem stack, design Azure and AWS in Terraform, and migrate Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Immutable backups and tested recovery protect it all. You get a stable, patched environment.

  • M&A IT integration

    I run security due diligence, plan day-one readiness, and migrate tenants, identities, and email into one environment. I find risks early and keep the business running. You get one secure environment on go-live day.

  • Fractional IT leadership

    As your part-time vCISO or vCTO, I set strategy and the roadmap, manage vendors, lead compliance, and report to your board in plain language. You get senior leadership on a monthly cadence, without a full-time hire.

  • Not sure where to start?

    Tell me about your environment. I will help you find the first step.

How I work

You work with the engineer who does the work.

I scope, build, and hand over every engagement myself. No account managers and no junior hand-offs.

  1. Direct access

    You speak with me from the first call to the final handover.

  2. Enterprise methods, right-sized

    I bring enterprise security and IT practice, scaled to your team and budget, and build it correctly the first time.

  3. AI in daily use

    I run my own business on a self-hosted AI platform and build software with AI every day. I deploy what saves your team real hours.

  4. Clean handover

    Every engagement ends with documentation your team can run with.

About

About me

Joe Moffitt · Security and IT engineer

I have spent more than ten years building and running enterprise IT and security, usually as the last stop when something had to work.

Now I bring the same hands-on work to smaller teams. I still do the work myself, and I will tell you if something is not a good fit.

Engagements

Three ways to work together

Pick the model that fits. You can change the scope as your needs change.

How it starts

  1. Send a note

    Tell me what you want to automate, protect, or build. A few lines is enough.

  2. Intro call

    We talk through your environment and goals. I tell you plainly whether I can help.

  3. Written scope

    I send a short proposal with deliverables and the engagement model that fits.

  4. Delivery

    I do the work, keep you updated, and hand over with full documentation.

Engagement models

Project

I deliver a fixed scope with clear outputs: AI readiness assessments, AI rollouts, custom tools, migrations, and disaster recovery builds.

Advisory

You book me by the day for architecture reviews, incident support, or a second opinion on a big decision.

Retainer

I act as your fractional vCISO or vCTO on a set monthly cadence.

Not sure which fits? Book a consultation and we can talk it through.
