As the founder and long-time owner of a small business in the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan area  (we opened our doors in 1991 and have been helping small businesses and non-profits with cybersecurity solutions and IT Management ever since), I am committed to helping other small businesses and non-profit organizations weather the challenges we’re all facing right now. To that end, we’ve set up this page with the intent of providing timely information and valuable resources to help you navigate the challenges of running your business remotely in a secure and efficient way during shelter-in-place restriction periods and afterwards, while we’re all probably going to still need to practice social distancing.

On this page we will be providing a number of valuable resources for small businesses and non-profits to better enable them to secure their organizations and educate their employees either for no charge or at cost as long as we’re dealing with these challenges.  If you have questions about anything or suggestions for other ways we can assist you, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@dependableitsupport.com.
