A look at how Interlock has helped Houston businesses move off fragile infrastructure, harden their security posture, and turn IT from a cost center into a strategic advantage.
The firm's design-intensive applications — AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office — were tied to office workstations and local servers. Remote access was slow and fragile. Support overhead was rising. Scaling for new project teams meant unpredictable capital expenditure.
Deployed a dedicated physical server in Interlock's private cloud and configured Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to provide secure, multi-user access to the firm's full desktop environment. Centralized data, simplified support, and replaced a CAPEX cycle with a predictable monthly cost.
"The move to a private cloud environment gave our team the flexibility to work from anywhere without sacrificing performance. It simplified our IT and made the business much easier to support as we grow."
Representative engagements drawn from our portfolio. Names withheld in line with our confidentiality standards.
A private money management firm engaged Interlock to address an aging endpoint estate, inconsistent MFA coverage, and limited security visibility. Over two years, we deployed EDR across all endpoints, enforced MFA company-wide, stood up a SIEM with automated alerting, and instituted quarterly access reviews and posture audits.
A national nutritional supplement manufacturer needed to contain ransomware blast radius and prove recoverability to its insurer. Interlock segmented OT from IT, deployed Palo Alto firewalls with regional blocks and threat lists, and stood up tested disaster recovery with documented RTO and RPO targets.
A Houston-area private school needed to replace failing on-prem hardware without a six-figure capital outlay. We migrated core workloads to a private cloud architecture, deployed FERPA-aware access controls, and built a security awareness program for staff and faculty.
A mid-sized Houston law firm had one internal IT lead carrying everything. Interlock joined as a co-managed partner, taking on monitoring, patching, security tooling, and off-hours support — keeping the internal lead focused on user experience and strategic projects.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute discovery call. Bring the messy version — we'll handle the rest.
