Jumpstart programs

Structured engagements that move you from uncertainty to a clear plan—whether you are a growing SMB with a lean IT team or an enterprise coordinating multiple stakeholders. Each Jumpstart packages discovery, assessment, and prioritized recommendations you can execute with Compute or your own team.

We will align scope, timeline, and deliverables before kickoff—no surprise change orders on the core package.

Built for your operating reality

Small & mid-market teams

Clear artifacts, minimal bureaucracy, and language that works for owners and technical leads alike. You get executive-ready summaries plus the technical depth your implementers need.

Enterprise & regulated environments

Documentation, traceability, and alignment to common control themes (identity, logging, backup, vendor risk). We integrate with your PMO, security, and infrastructure owners.

Programs & typical work included

The lists below are representative—final scope is confirmed during intake. Edit or extend with your sales team as offerings evolve.

Cloud Migration Jumpstart

From “we need to move” to a defensible migration path with sequenced waves, risk visibility, and alignment between business and IT.

Stakeholder intake: goals, constraints, timelines, compliance or data-residency drivers
Workload and dependency inventory (applications, data stores, integrations, identity)
Target landing-zone sketch for your preferred cloud(s) or hybrid pattern
Migration pattern options (rehost, replatform, refactor candidates) with pros, cons, and rough effort bands
Wave plan outline: order of operations, cutover windows, rollback posture
Network, identity, and connectivity considerations documented at a high level
Risk register starter with severity, owner suggestions, and mitigation themes
Executive readout deck and technical appendix for internal planning

Typical outcome: A prioritized migration roadmap and decision log your team can fund, staff, or hand to a delivery partner.

Cloud Audit & Remediation Jumpstart

Evidence-based view of how your cloud estate is configured, spent, and exposed—with a practical backlog, not a shelfware PDF.

Scope definition: accounts, subscriptions, regions, and critical workloads in focus
Inventory of core services in use (compute, storage, networking, identity, databases)
Cost and ownership visibility: major spend drivers, tagging/governance gaps, quick savings candidates
Security and configuration review against a structured checklist (IAM, exposure, encryption, logging)
Backup and operational hygiene spot-check where in scope
Prioritized finding list: severity, affected resources, suggested remediation pattern
Remediation backlog grouped into quick wins vs. planned change windows
Readout for leadership plus technical handoff notes for owners

Typical outcome: A ranked remediation backlog and governance recommendations you can execute in sprints or hand to a managed program.

Ransomware Mitigation Jumpstart

Strengthen recovery odds and shrink blast radius—backup posture, identity, and operational readiness without fear-mongering.

Current-state snapshot: critical systems, data classes, and dependency map (workshop + documentation review)
Backup coverage assessment: frequency, retention, immutability or air-gap options, restore testing maturity
Identity and access attack-surface review (privileged roles, legacy protocols, MFA coverage themes)
Endpoint and email control alignment check against common ransomware entry paths (high level)
Detection and logging gaps: visibility into critical actions and recovery signals
Tabletop exercise outline or scenario pack tailored to your environment
Prioritized mitigation roadmap with owners and suggested sequencing
Executive summary and technical action list

Typical outcome: Clearer recovery confidence, a short list of high-impact mitigations, and a path to tested restore discipline.

BDR + DR Plan Jumpstart

Turn backups into a real disaster-recovery story: RTO/RPO clarity, runbooks, and a test plan stakeholders understand.

Business and IT workshop for RTO/RPO targets by workload tier
Backup architecture and tooling review (on-prem, cloud, hybrid)
Coverage map: what is protected, what is not, and known gaps
DR scenario catalog (site loss, ransomware, regional outage, key system failure)
Runbook skeleton: roles, communication tree, recovery order, validation steps
Test plan template with success criteria and evidence to capture
Dependency and DNS / failover considerations at an appropriate depth
Leadership summary with investment and sequencing recommendations

Typical outcome: An actionable DR narrative, starter runbooks, and a credible test plan—ready for refinement and drills.

Information Security Policy Jumpstart

Policy set that matches how you actually operate—plain language, approvable by legal and usable by IT and staff.

Policy scope and roles: who approves, who enforces, who gets exceptions
Acceptable use, access control, and account lifecycle themes
Data classification and handling expectations (tailored to your maturity)
Incident response and breach notification outline aligned to your jurisdiction notes
Vendor and third-party risk minimum expectations
Remote work, device, and MFA posture statements (as applicable)
Mapping notes to common frameworks (e.g. CIS, NIST CSF themes)—for context, not certification claims
Review session with stakeholders; revision pass based on feedback

Typical outcome: A coherent policy pack draft and adoption checklist for HR, IT, and leadership sign-off.

Many teams chain programs—for example, Cloud Audit before Migration, or BDR + Policy together. Tell us your priorities and we will propose a sequenced plan.
