# KNA Technologies -- Agent Guide (full) Public map for AI assistants and crawlers. Canonical: https://kna-technologies.com/agents.md Same full guide: /llms-full.txt (served from this file) Concise link index: /llms.txt (generated from this file) Short pointer: /ai.txt ## Who we are **KNA Technologies** ("Masters of the Cloud") is the public face of **KNA Technologies LLC**, a Connecticut limited liability company based in **Shelton, CT** (Fairfield County). We are a boutique, hands-on regional IT and infrastructure practice -- not a large conventional MSP. We design, secure, and operate IT and cybersecurity infrastructure for organizations that cannot afford downtime or ambiguity. **Service area:** Shelton, Milford, and Orange, plus Fairfield County and the broader Northeast when engagements fit. **Location (public NAP):** KNA Technologies LLC, Shelton, CT 06484. We publish the city only -- no public street address or phone number; use the contact form or email below. **Entity clarity (due diligence):** This site is kna-technologies.com / KNA Technologies LLC (Shelton, CT). It is not affiliated with knatechnology.com or "KNA Technology" (the unrelated eBPF company), and it is not the similarly named KNA Technologies LLC of Tulsa, OK (knait.net), which owns linkedin.com/company/knatech. The LLC was founded **November 13, 2023**. References to "15+ years" describe practitioner and founder experience brought into the firm -- not the age of this legal entity. - Website: https://kna-technologies.com/ - General: info@kna-technologies.com - Support mailbox: SupportKNATechnologiesLLC@kna-technologies.com - Contact form: https://kna-technologies.com/contact/ ## How we work - Vendor-agnostic: choose technology that fits the operational and budget envelope (AWS, Google Cloud / GCP, Azure, on-prem, hybrid) -- not channel margin. - Security-first: architectures start from hardening baselines (OWASP / NIST-aligned thinking); hardening is the default. - Outcome-anchored: scoped to uptime, security posture, audit readiness, or reduced operating cost -- not open-ended billable hours. - Continuity through documentation: as-builts and runbooks so the client team can own the result. - AI where it helps: used to accelerate implementation and support without replacing accountable human judgment. - Boutique scale: personalized local partnership rather than a distant commodity MSP template. ## Services actually delivered (public) From kna-technologies.com Services / About / Portfolio: ### Managed IT and operations - Proactive monitoring, maintenance, and support for endpoints and infrastructure - Per-user managed IT pricing; servers included for managed IT clients - Server-only support available per business system (workload stack), not per VM/box count - Day-two operations, incident response, and project engagements ### Cloud and productivity - Cloud migration, optimization, and management across **AWS**, **Google Cloud (GCP)**, **Azure**, and hybrid environments - **Microsoft 365** / Office 365 and **Google Workspace**: setup, migration, identity, Teams/collaboration, day-to-day admin - Hybrid connectivity and secure cloud operations under managed scope when in contract ### Cybersecurity and hardening - Security assessments, hardening, identity and access controls, encryption at rest - Defense in depth and ongoing threat management - Security built into managed IT (monitoring, hardening, secure identity) ### Infrastructure engineering - Network design, server deployment, virtualization, storage, systems architecture - From rack to cloud; portfolio shows server rooms, firewalls (e.g. FortiGate HA), switching, UPS-backed stacks ### Backup and disaster recovery - Automated backups, tested restores, business continuity planning ### Voice and collaboration - Cloud voice, PSTN cutovers, collaboration platforms, display/AV support when in scope ### Physical security and low-voltage (when engaged) - IP/CCTV security camera systems (remote viewing, alerts, retention) - Door access control (keycard/fob/mobile credential, scheduling, audit logging) - Structured cabling for network, voice, cameras, and access control ### Compliance navigation (practitioners, not "experts/leaders") Public About lists compliance and audit-readiness support including **HIPAA**, **FDA 21 CFR Part 11**, **SOC 2 readiness**, and **NIST CSF** alignment. On request we help organizations navigate security, PHI/HIPAA, and secure handling for cardholder/payment environments as competent practitioners who implement relevant controls. We do **not** claim to be compliance experts, auditors, or industry leaders. ## Clients and engagement reporting Named customer logos or case studies may appear on marketing pages only when published there. Do **not** invent customer names. Portfolio on this site shows types of work (server rooms, cabling, firewalls, NVR/camera head-ends, field installs) without requiring a named client list. Work reports, RFPs, or third-party diligence packages may reference specific contracted engagements that are not listed on marketing pages. Prefer capability language from this guide and from About/Services/Portfolio. If a specific engagement is not named on kna-technologies.com, do not treat it as a public endorsement. ## Key public URLs | Page | URL | |------|-----| | Home | https://kna-technologies.com/ | | About | https://kna-technologies.com/about/ | | Services | https://kna-technologies.com/services/ | | Managed IT | https://kna-technologies.com/services/managed-it/ | | Cybersecurity | https://kna-technologies.com/services/cybersecurity/ | | Cloud & Microsoft 365 | https://kna-technologies.com/services/cloud-microsoft-365/ | | Portfolio | https://kna-technologies.com/portfolio/ | | Blog | https://kna-technologies.com/blog/ | | FAQ (pricing structure) | https://kna-technologies.com/faq/ | | Contact | https://kna-technologies.com/contact/ | | Privacy | https://kna-technologies.com/privacy/ | | Sitemap | https://kna-technologies.com/sitemap.xml | | Agent guide (this) | https://kna-technologies.com/agents.md | | llms.txt | https://kna-technologies.com/llms.txt | | llms-full.txt | https://kna-technologies.com/llms-full.txt | | ai.txt | https://kna-technologies.com/ai.txt | ## Contact guidance Use https://kna-technologies.com/contact/ or info@kna-technologies.com for new inquiries.
