Three products, one method
Each uses the same seven-domain scorecard, so a fund that works with us twice can compare companies across its portfolio.

The seven domains
Every domain is scored 1 to 5 and every red or amber finding carries a dollar estimate and a timing bucket: pre-close, first 100 days, or year one.
Infrastructure and cloud
Servers, network, end-of-life hardware, cloud spend and resilience.
Identity and access
MFA coverage, privileged accounts, offboarding, finance-system access.
Security operations and backup
Monitoring, patching, incident history, and whether backups have ever been restored.
Core applications and ERP
Version currency, customization debt, vendor viability, licensing.
Data, reporting, and AI readiness
Can the business produce reliable numbers, and are the AI claims in the CIM real.
IT organization, vendors, and spend
Headcount, key-person risk, MSP contracts, spend versus peers.
Integration and separation
What it takes to bolt this company on, or carve it out.
An operator, not an auditor
Secure Link Technologies is run by Steven Martinez, an IT director who has spent [X] years running technology inside mid-market companies: infrastructure, security, ERP and SQL Server environments, Power BI reporting, service desk operations, and the hiring that goes with them. Most recently he has led IT at a Florida homebuilder, reporting into Finance.
That seat is the point. Deal teams don’t need a longer list of findings; they need to know which ones a lender, an insurer, or a CFO will care about, and what each costs to fix. Reports here are written for the investment committee, not the IT department.
Based in Southwest Florida. Engagements across the Southeast, 80% remote.
