Can scammers send email as your business?

Nebby checks any domain in about ten seconds: email authentication, lookalike domains registered to impersonate you, certificate health, security headers and DNS protections. Plain English, with the fix for each problem. No signup, and it only reads what is already public.

Runs at nebby.yinzerit.com, built and hosted by Yinzer IT.

Hold DoD contracts?

Take the free CMMC Level 1 self-check: 15 plain-English questions, about five minutes, and you get your gaps ranked with what to do about each one. It's a readiness check, not an assessment or a certification.

Security that
runs itself.

Self-serve tools built and hosted by Yinzer IT. They scan, report and keep you on track on a schedule, so a small business, or the IT shop behind it, gets the checks it can't staff for. Sign up, connect what's needed, and the results show up. No sales calls.

AI for Business

AI that earns its
place in your stack.

Most businesses don't need an AI strategy deck. They need two or three specific jobs handled well, done in a way that doesn't leak client data or invent answers. That's the work we do: pick the jobs, wire them into the systems you already run, and put guardrails around them.

AI Readiness Assessment

Before any rollout, we look at what AI would actually see. Oversharing in SharePoint and OneDrive is the single most common reason a Copilot pilot gets shut off in week two.

  • Permission and oversharing review across M365
  • Sensitivity labelling and retention basics
  • Shadow-AI discovery: what staff already paste into free tools
  • A short written report with a fix order, not a sales pitch

Copilot & Assistant Rollout

Licensing, pilot group, and the part most rollouts skip: teaching people the three prompts that save them real hours, then measuring whether it stuck.

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot licensing and tenant configuration
  • Claude, OpenAI, Gemini and Grok for teams, with cost comparison
  • Apple Intelligence and Siri across a managed Apple fleet
  • Pilot design, adoption tracking, role-specific prompt playbooks
  • Honest advice when the licence isn't worth it yet

Workflow & Back-Office Automation

The repetitive work that eats a day a week: intake forms, quote drafts, ticket triage, meeting notes into action items, invoice and document handling.

  • Document and email triage, summarising, drafting
  • Ticket and helpdesk automation with human review
  • Power Automate, Zapier, n8n and custom integrations
  • Every automation documented and reversible

Private AI & AI Governance

For regulated work, client files, or anything under HIPAA or CMMC, the model can run on hardware you own. And whatever you run, staff need written rules.

  • Ollama and open models self-hosted on Proxmox, VMware or a dedicated box
  • No client data sent to a public model
  • AI acceptable-use policy your team will actually read
  • Controls mapped to CMMC and HIPAA obligations
We build with it, not just about it

Nebby is our own AI-assisted build.

The free domain scanner and CMMC self-check on this site were designed, written, hardened and deployed with AI in the loop, then reviewed by an engineer and shipped on our own infrastructure. When we tell you what AI can and can't do for your business, it's from running it, not reading about it.

The Partner You
Actually Want.

Not a call center. An engineer who has operated real enterprise environments, bringing that precision to every client regardless of size.

01
You Work Directly With the Engineer
No Level 1 runaround and no handoffs. When something critical hits, you reach the person who designed your environment and can actually fix it.
02
Vendor-Neutral by Design
Experienced across every major platform. We recommend what fits your environment and budget, not what pays the best margin.
03
Enterprise Scale Experience
Running 27,000-user environments builds discipline and precision that smaller operations never develop. That's what comes to your project, whatever its size.
04
Documentation Is Non-Negotiable
SOPs, runbooks, change logs, network diagrams. Every engagement ends with documentation that keeps your team independent long after delivery.
05
Yinzer Work Ethic. Remote Reach.
Pittsburgh-based and remote capable. BeyondTrust, RDP, TeamViewer and Splashtop mean your team gets support wherever they are, without cutting corners.
About Yinzer IT
"Pittsburgh built its reputation on showing up and doing the hard work right, on the bridges, in the mills, on the inclines. That's the only standard we hold our IT services to."

Yinzer IT was founded on a straightforward belief: businesses of every size deserve an IT partner who has actually operated the environments they're being hired to manage, not just sold a package.

That experience comes from real enterprise work: multi-site network operations, round-the-clock monitoring, healthcare environments with HIPAA obligations, and large-scale AV and communications deployments. The discipline doesn't switch off for smaller clients.

Whether you need a managed IT environment, a specialist for a critical project, or a second opinion on a vendor proposal, Yinzer IT works as a true extension of your team.
