Outcomes first

What you actually get

Before the feature list — the day-to-day results this is meant to produce.

Reliable coverage

Wi-Fi that holds up across your space, not just near the closet.

Sensible separation

Guest, staff and sensitive systems kept appropriately apart.

Known configuration

A documented setup you own, not a black box only a vendor understands.

Safer remote access

Remote connections configured deliberately, with security in mind.

How it works

A calm, documented process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We map what is connected, how it is configured and where it hurts.

  2. 2

    Prioritize

    We identify reliability and security gaps worth fixing first.

  3. 3

    Configure

    We tune firewall, switching and Wi-Fi and separate networks properly.

  4. 4

    Document

    We produce a diagram, inventory and clear ownership record.

  5. 5

    Maintain

    We keep firmware current and track changes over time.

Security is built in

A well-segmented, documented network is a foundational security control. Separating guest traffic, tightening remote access and knowing every connected device are all part of the baseline — not extras.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers about price, switching, timing and scope.

  • Do we have to replace all our equipment?

    Usually not. We start by making the most of what you have and only recommend replacements where reliability or security clearly requires it — quoted transparently at cost.

  • Which hardware brands do you support?

    We work with mainstream business firewalls, switches and access points. We recommend based on your size, budget and support needs rather than a single fixed brand.

  • Can you fix Wi-Fi dead zones?

    We assess coverage and access-point placement and tune or add hardware where needed. We are honest about what layout and building materials allow.

  • Is remote access secure?

    We configure remote access deliberately with security controls and review who has it. We will tell you plainly where an existing setup needs to change.

Local & accountable

A founder-led partner in Missoula

Granite Peak is intentionally small and local. That means direct accountability and standards you can see — not a support model that hides behind tiers and hold music.

  • Direct access, clear accountability—without the call-center runaround.
  • Recommendations are prioritized by risk and budget, in plain English.
  • We document what we do, so nothing lives only in one person’s head.
