IT & cyber security for manufacturing & engineering

A stopped line costs more than a stopped inbox. We separate production systems from office IT, keep both patched, and help you satisfy the security questionnaires your customers send.

Built for your sector

Keeping the shop floor and the office on separate, secure, reliable networks.

We bring the same enterprise-grade habits (security by default, monitoring, documentation) that bigger firms rely on, sized and priced for a business like yours.

Scope

If it is not business IT

Dacros looks after business technology, so if the machine that needs help is a household or personal one, our sibling practice JorTech handles that kind of repair. If what you are really after is a website or better search visibility rather than IT support, that is our other sibling practice, VerySEOly.
