When a hard drive fails, data is accidentally deleted, or a ransomware attack locks your files, the clock starts ticking. I use specialist hardware and software tools to recover as much as possible — carefully and confidentially. For legal and medical clients, I provide full chain-of-custody documentation and court-admissible reports.
- Hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays and NAS devices
- Ransomware-encrypted volume recovery
- Accidentally deleted files and partitions
- Forensic disk imaging with full audit trail
- Legal-grade chain-of-custody documentation
- Irish court-admissible reporting available
- Strict confidentiality throughout — NDA available
Every audit is conducted under a formal scoping agreement. Nothing is touched without your written sign-off. Results are delivered to you directly and not retained beyond the engagement.
Cyber attacks on small businesses in Ireland are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated. A single successful phishing email or unpatched system can cost a business thousands — plus the reputational damage that comes with a data breach. My security audits identify the real risks in plain English, with clear steps for fixing them — not a lengthy technical document that sits in a drawer.
- External and internal network vulnerability scanning
- Web application assessment (OWASP Top 10)
- Staff phishing simulation and awareness training
- Password policy and multi-factor authentication review
- GDPR data-flow mapping and gap analysis
- Practical remediation guidance — no jargon
- Re-testing after fixes to confirm issues resolved
If your staff are spending hours each week on the same repetitive tasks — copying data between systems, producing the same reports by hand, chasing the same files — I can usually automate most of it. I build straightforward, reliable tools tailored to how your business actually works. The full source code is always handed over so you're never dependent on me to keep it running.
- Automated weekly and monthly reporting
- Accounting software integrations (Xero, Sage, custom)
- Shopify, WooCommerce and e-commerce connections
- PDF generation, filing and archiving
- Scheduled data backups and exports
- Legacy system migrations and data cleaning
- Full source code handover — no lock-in, ever
Inishowen IT is proud to give something back to the community that it operates in. Local voluntary organisations, community groups, and registered charities across Co. Donegal can access the full range of services on a pro bono basis. There is no professional fee — qualifying organisations are only asked to cover any direct out-of-pocket expenses such as replacement hardware or travel outside Inishowen.
If your group has an IT problem that is holding back what you do for the community, get in touch. A short conversation will establish whether I can help and what, if anything, it would cost you.
- GAA clubs, tidy towns committees and sports organisations
- Registered charities and voluntary groups
- Schools, parish groups and community halls
- Local festivals, arts groups and cultural organisations
- No professional fee — direct expenses only
- Same standard of work as any commercial engagement
My professional time is provided free of charge. The only costs passed on are genuine out-of-pocket expenses — for example, a replacement hard drive, a software licence required for the work, or travel to locations outside Inishowen.
There are no hidden charges and no expectation of anything in return. This is simply Inishowen IT's way of contributing to the local area.
All three core services are available — data recovery, security audits, and automation. Priority is given to urgent situations such as lost data or a security incident affecting a community organisation.
