Prattech · Information technology services
Keep the business open with infrastructure that holds up.
Prattech designs, builds, secures and operates the networks, servers and security systems businesses depend on. The people who scope the work are the people who do the work.

What we do
Engineering across the handoff points.
From workstation to server to hypervisor to network to perimeter to audit evidence, without losing the thread.
Network architecture & design
Campus, branch, wide-area and data centre networks designed from requirements, with resilience, segmentation, capacity planning and staged migration.
Security architecture & programme design
Trust boundaries, least-privilege access, firewall policy, microsegmentation, risk assessment and security policy documentation.
Vulnerability management & compliance
Continuous vulnerability scanning, PCI DSS scoping, segmentation validation and evidence packages assembled for assessors.
Data centre & virtualisation
Infrastructure planning across physical, virtual and hybrid environments, including resilience, lifecycle and migration decisions.
Monitoring, logging & detection
Monitoring and logging designed around the signals people need to operate, troubleshoot and demonstrate control.
Automation & programmability
Configuration-as-code, integration and practical automation that removes repeated work and makes change easier to verify.
Diagnostics & escalation
Structured fault isolation across layers for intermittent, cross-domain and long-unresolved problems.
Advisory & vendor selection
Independent advice and vendor evaluation grounded in requirements, constraints and the environment you actually operate.
Why Prattech
Senior-weighted by design.
The same people stay accountable.
The person who surveys your environment designs it, implements it and picks up the phone when it misbehaves.Dual CCIE
Two CCIE certifications sustained continuously for 23 years.
CISSP
Security leadership and programme design grounded in established practice.
DevNet 500
Automation and programmability across modern infrastructure.
A clear path from discovery to handover.
Keep assumptions visible, changes reversible and outcomes verifiable.
01: Discovery against reality
We survey what is actually deployed and record constraints: budget, regulation, contracts, in-house skills and change windows.
02: Design, written down
A documented design makes the reasoning visible, including options rejected and why, before anyone buys anything.
03: Validation before commitment
Where risk warrants it, we prove the design in a lab or limited pilot while assumptions are still cheap to test.
04: Staged implementation
Each step is individually reversible, with success criteria defined in advance and a tested rollback path.
05: Verification and evidence
We verify the result against the design and leave a usable trail of changes, scans, logs and segmentation proof.
06: Handover, operate, revisit
The work ends with a handover that works in practice, then continues through operations, review and refinement when needed.

Questions
What clients usually want to know.
A short answer before we get into the specifics of your environment.
What kind of work does Prattech take on?
Architecture, security programmes, infrastructure, vulnerability and compliance work, diagnostics, automation, advisory and managed operations.
Who does the work?
The people who scope an engagement stay involved through design, implementation, verification and handover.
Can Prattech work inside an existing team?
Yes. Engagements can focus on a defined design or problem, support an internal delivery team, or continue into operations and review.
Do you publish fixed prices?
No. Scope, constraints and responsibility vary materially by environment, so engagement shape is agreed after the work is understood.
Bring us the system that is difficult to explain.
The design that needs a second opinion, the programme that must stand up to an audit, or the problem that has survived too many quick fixes.
