Fractional Network & Security Expertise for Growing Businesses
Senior IT Expertise Without the Cost of a Full-Time Specialist
Your business depends on its network, internet connectivity, Wi-Fi and security — but employing experienced network and security specialists full-time can be difficult to justify.
We provide fractional network, firewall, wireless and technical consultancy services for small and medium businesses, giving you direct access to experienced technical expertise when you need it.
Whether you need a few days of support each month, help delivering a project, an independent review of your existing IT provider, or someone to solve a difficult technical problem, we can help.
No large consultancy. No unnecessary complexity. Once an engagement is accepted, DSF Technologies assigns an engineer to it.

Assigned engineer
Once an engagement is accepted, DSF Technologies assigns an engineer to it.
Independent Advice
Recommendations based on what your business needs rather than what a vendor wants to sell.
Flexible
Use specialist expertise for a project, a few days each month or a specific technical problem.
Continuity
The engineer who understands your requirements can remain involved through design, delivery and handover.
Practical
Solutions appropriate for the size, budget and requirements of your organisation.
Collaborative
We can work with your existing IT team, MSP, vendors and suppliers rather than replacing them.
Who We Work With
Our services are designed for small and medium businesses that depend on technology but don't need — or want — a large internal IT department.
You may already have:
- An IT manager
- A small internal IT team
- An outsourced IT provider
- An MSP
- Several different technology suppliers
We complement those resources by providing specialist network and security expertise when required.
Specialist Expertise, Not General IT Support
We specialise in:
- Networks
- Firewalls
- Network Security
- Business Wi-Fi
- Solution Design
- Technical Troubleshooting
- Infrastructure Projects
- Technical Governance
We are not trying to replace your everyday IT helpdesk.
Instead, we provide the specialist technical capability your internal IT team or existing IT provider may not have available.

From Problem to Solution
Understand. Design. Deliver. Support.
Whether you're experiencing a difficult network problem, planning an office upgrade, replacing a firewall or simply want an independent view of your existing infrastructure, we can help.
You don't need a large consultancy.
You don't necessarily need another full-time employee.
Sometimes you simply need access to the right expertise.
