Marion Snyder
Office Manager, Safe Harbor
Since we contracted with Trinity Network Consulting, LLC we have seen a significant increase in the performance of our IT network as a whole. When I entered this position, we were having continuous issues with our internet speeds, system failures, and many other problems due to a very dated network. With the help of Andrew, we have now moved our network from the 1990’s to a system that places us in a very strong position for at least the next 15-20 years. We have relied on Andrews expertise to bring our system to a new level allowing our teams to become more efficient and our systems much more reliable. After only a few months of our partnership with Trinity Network Consulting, LLC I am receiving many compliments from my team and our citizens on the speed and quality of our internet and I now have the confidence that our network is more secure than ever before. If you are struggling with where your network stands I would highly recommend Andrew and Trinity Network Consulting for all of your IT needs

First Baptist Church, Brunswick Georgia highly recommends the services of Trinity Network Consultants and Andrew Brauda. Beginning in 2017, we interviewed and ultimately contracted with Trinity to maintain our entire campus computer systems to include a dedicated server and over 20 computers, both Mac and PC. Andrew’s expertise and customer service has been outstanding. We have appreciated the professional and prompt communication and solutions for every issue we’ve had. Trinity has taken ownership of and responsibility for every area we have contracted them to handle and even a few that were outside the scope of our relationship such as a complete campus high-speed WiFi installation and a recommended conversion to Office 365 for our e-mail hosting. Trinity Network Consultants has become a valued member of our team and an invaluable partner. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Andrew and the Trinity team. Please feel free to call me for any further recommendation. Sincerely
Taylor Gordon
Church Administrator, First Baptist Church in Brunswick, GA
I recommend Trinity as a full-service IT consulting/management team. They can handle a wide variety of situations and are quick to respond. They’ve already helped to sort out several issues for us that were created by the sudden departure of one of our team members.

Detailed Cyber Due Diligence for Better Deal Decisions
Practical risk review and integration planning
Security Posture
Know the Security Baseline
A cyber posture review gives you a grounded view of how the target organization manages security today. Trinity Network Consulting evaluates practical controls across devices, users, network access, cloud environments, and monitoring practices.
The result is a clear summary of visible weaknesses, operational concerns, and security priorities that may influence transaction risk, remediation cost, or post-close planning. You get findings that support business decisions, not just technical documentation.
Infrastructure Risk
Spot Reliability Concerns
Outdated infrastructure can slow teams, increase outage risk, and create security exposure after a deal closes. TNC reviews network design, hardware age, connectivity, endpoint management, and cloud dependencies to identify issues that could affect reliability or scalability.
This assessment helps you understand where modernization may be needed, which systems may complicate integration, and how infrastructure risk may affect the transition timeline. The focus stays on uptime, efficiency, and maintainable operations.
Access Review
Reduce Access Exposure
Unmanaged access is one of the most common sources of cyber risk during ownership changes. Trinity Network Consulting reviews user access, administrative privileges, account practices, and authentication-related concerns to identify where sensitive systems or data may be exposed.
You receive practical insight into access cleanup, transition priorities, and areas that may require tighter controls before or after close. This helps reduce uncertainty when teams, vendors, and systems begin to merge.
Backup Readiness
Confirm Recovery Readiness
Data protection is a critical part of transaction readiness. TNC reviews backup practices, offsite protection, redundancy, recovery expectations, and business continuity concerns to determine whether the environment can maintain operations and recover from disruption.
This review helps reveal gaps that could affect uptime, ransomware recovery, or regulatory expectations. You gain a clearer picture of whether current recovery processes are dependable or whether additional planning is needed before integration begins.
Compliance Review
Clarify Compliance Gaps
Compliance needs vary by industry, contract type, and data sensitivity. Trinity Network Consulting helps identify technology-related compliance concerns that may affect the transaction, including security practices, data handling, documentation, and audit readiness.
The goal is to help leadership understand where the environment may fall short of expected standards and what remediation may require. This gives you a practical path for addressing risk without overstating issues or creating unnecessary disruption.
Remediation Plan
Prioritize Next Steps
Cyber due diligence should lead to action. After assessing the environment, TNC organizes findings into practical priorities that support remediation, budgeting, and post-close IT integration.
Recommendations are framed around operational impact, including reliability, security exposure, user productivity, and continuity. This helps your team decide what must be addressed immediately, what can be phased in, and where managed IT services or consulting support can reduce transition risk.

Identify Cyber Risk Before It Becomes Deal Risk
M&A cyber due diligence gives you a clearer view of the technology risks attached to an acquisition, merger, or investment. When systems are outdated, unmanaged, or poorly documented, the financial and operational impact may not appear until after the transaction closes.
Trinity Network Consulting reviews the target environment through a practical operational lens, including infrastructure, security controls, backups, access, and continuity concerns. The goal is to help you understand what is stable, what needs attention, and what may affect integration planning. With over 15 years of IT infrastructure and security experience, TNC helps turn technical findings into business-ready insight.
Turn Technical Findings Into Transaction Clarity
Cyber due diligence should support confident decision-making, not overwhelm the transaction team with technical noise. Trinity Network Consulting focuses on the conditions that can affect business continuity, security exposure, and post-close technology costs.
- Review of network, endpoint, cloud, and data protection posture
- Identification of outdated infrastructure that may affect reliability
- Assessment of backup, redundancy, and recovery readiness
- Evaluation of access controls and potential security gaps
- Practical recommendations for remediation, transition, and integration
You receive clear findings that help leadership understand what needs immediate attention and what can be planned strategically after close.
Plan Integration With Fewer IT Surprises
A transaction can place immediate pressure on IT systems, users, data, and security practices. If the acquired environment is not ready to integrate, productivity, compliance, and uptime can suffer.
Trinity Network Consulting helps you look beyond the checklist. Senior engineers with large enterprise experience review the environment with attention to long-term manageability, not just current issues. Findings can support budgeting, remediation planning, vendor consolidation, and continuity strategy. Whether your internal team needs support or you need outsourced IT support and solutions during transition, TNC provides practical guidance to help maintain operations and reduce surprises after the deal closes.
