IT and security for teams that don't have an IT department yet.

I set up, secure and automate the stack your team runs on: identity, devices, network and cloud. Then I get you ready for SOC 2.

What I work on

The foundation every startup needs, built properly the first time, ready to scale, and documented so it doesn't depend on me.

identity01

Identity & access

Google Workspace, SSO, 1Password, Context-Aware Access. Clean onboarding and offboarding, so nobody keeps access they shouldn't have.

endpoints02

Apple fleet & MDM

Jamf, Mosyle and Google mobile management. Zero-touch deployment, disk encryption, patching and compliance policies for Macs and phones.

network03

Office networks

UniFi design for single offices and multi-site setups: VLANs, VPN, Wi-Fi and cameras. Documented, so the next person isn't guessing.

cloud04

Cloud security

AWS and GCP reviews: IAM, least privilege, public buckets, logging. Find the obvious risks before someone else does.

compliance05

SOC 2 readiness

Gap assessment, policies, controls and evidence collection, mapped to what auditors actually ask for.

automation06

IT automation

Slack helpdesk bots, scheduled security reports, asset tracking, serverless jobs. Less clicking, fewer things forgotten.

// engagements

Three ways to work together

Start small with an assessment, or bring me in for a specific project or ongoing coverage.

./assess

Assessment

A fixed-scope review of your IT and security posture. You get a prioritized list of what to fix, in plain language.

./build

Project

A defined piece of work: MDM rollout, network build, SOC 2 prep, a migration. Scoped, delivered and documented.

./support

Fractional IT

A block of hours each month for admin and day-to-day questions, plus on-call coverage after business hours, by arrangement. Like having IT, without the hire.

// about

Hi, I'm Nens.

ex-airbnb · ex-bell

Alexandre Nenon, based in Montréal. 8+ years in IT ops, infrastructure and security, from Airbnb and Bell to running IT and infrastructure for multi-site companies across Canada and the US.

Startups are my thing. Three years running IT at ClearEstate showed me what I enjoy most: building from scratch and scaling with the team. Set it up right on day one so it still holds at 10 people or 200.

Self-taught, hands-on and security-minded. I'd rather automate a control than write a reminder about it, and I leave every environment better documented than I found it.

Work in English or French.
