The IT problems that keep Bay Area founders up at night

Most small businesses discover their IT gaps the hard way โ€” after an incident, audit, or outage. Here's what we fix before it becomes a crisis.

01
"We don't know who has access to what."

Former employees still in the directory. Shared admin credentials. No MFA enforced. One compromised password away from a breach.

02
"Our backups exist, but we've never tested them."

Ransomware doesn't warn you before it hits. An untested backup is a hypothesis, not a recovery plan. Most businesses find this out the wrong way.

03
"IT is owned by nobody โ€” and everyone at once."

Your most technical engineer handles support tickets. Your office manager set up Microsoft 365. Nobody owns the environment and nobody can see the full picture.

About

20+ years in IT.
Still doing the work.

LineSight Digital is a San Jose-based IT consulting and managed services firm.

The focus is Bay Area startups and small businesses that have outgrown ad-hoc IT but aren't ready for โ€” and don't need โ€” a full-time IT department. Engagements are direct, documented, and sized to what you actually need.

When something breaks at 2 AM, you're not waiting for a ticket to be triaged. You're getting someone who knows your environment.

Common Questions

Things Bay Area founders and business owners typically ask before getting started.

No. All engagements are month-to-month unless you specifically prefer a committed term. Most clients stay because the work delivers value, not because they're locked in.

Typically 5 to 100 users โ€” the range where IT is complex enough to need real expertise but not large enough to justify a full-time IT team. Reach out if you're outside that range; it depends more on your environment than headcount.

The assessment covers your Microsoft 365 security configuration, backup status and recovery readiness, user access and MFA coverage, network and firewall basics, and infrastructure overview. You get a written summary with prioritized next steps โ€” no obligation to continue.

Standard issues are addressed within 4 business hours. For managed IT clients, urgent production-down situations get a 1-hour response target. Emergency out-of-hours response is available for managed clients on request.

Remote support works anywhere and covers the vast majority of what we do. Onsite support is limited to the Bay Area. If you're in broader California and occasionally need someone onsite, reach out and we can discuss it.
