Foundational IT & Digital Compliance
We engineer your secure, scalable base tech without vendor lock-in.
Setting up your digital infrastructure shouldn't be a guessing game. A single misconfigured DNS record, a leaky database, or a non-compliant cookie banner can paralyze your operations and trigger severe EU fines down the road.
We architect your tech stack correctly from day one. No bloated software, no technical debt—just a pristine, secure foundation so you can focus entirely on building your product and driving revenue.
What We Deploy (The Tech Stack)
When you hand us the keys, we build a fully compliant, enterprise-grade Command Node tailored to your e-commerce or SaaS model.
Domain & Security Hardening: Complete DNS architecture. We deploy strict DMARC, DKIM, and SPF protocols to guarantee your corporate emails land in inboxes, not spam folders.
Workspace & Operations: Secure Command Node deployment via Google Workspace (or equivalent). We establish proper Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) so your future team members only see what they need to see.
Legal & Compliance Baseline: Strict EU legal hardening. We configure GDPR and EAA compliant data routing, robust cookie consent frameworks, and verify server locality setups to protect you from compliance audits.
3rd-Party Integrations: Secure, API-level connections for your external CRMs, payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Swish), and automated marketing channels.
How It Works: The Setup Phase
Technical Audit: We analyze your business model to determine the exact baseline tech required.
Infrastructure & Compliance: We build your secure Command Node. We ensure your site meets the strict European Accessibility Act (EAA) standards to protect you from severe financial penalties.
Handover: You receive full ownership of your systems and access to your dedicated Kanban queue to begin delegating fractional tasks.
What Team is Given?
When you select this package, our AI routing system assembles a customized foundational team:
Lead Architect / CTO: Designs your tech stack and database architecture within your own Google Workspace (Zero vendor lock-in).
Compliance Expert: Hardens your digital presence against strict EU regulations (GDPR, NIS2, and the mandatory European Accessibility Act).
Systems Developer: Executes the code, sets up your automated routing, and builds your custom customer portal.
AI Protocol: Handles data routing, ticket parsing, and automated server monitoring 24/7. Humans handle the complex strategy; AI handles the infrastructure.
The Deployment Timeline
B2B infrastructure requires precision. We move fast, but we never cut corners. Here is exactly what happens after you book your setup:
Phase 1: Architecture Mapping (Day 1) We audit your business model, map your required tool stack, and determine your exact compliance liabilities based on your target market.
Phase 2: Deployment & Hardening (Days 2-4) Our engineers configure your workspace, write the DNS records, establish the security protocols, and connect your payment/CRM integrations.
Phase 3: The Handover (Day 5) You receive the master keys. We provide documentation on your new architecture and transfer 100% of the admin rights directly to you.
Transparent Pricing: Phase 1 & Phase 2
Phase 1: Baseline Onboarding (One-Time Setup)
Once your foundation is built, you unlock our fractional billing engine. You must select a minimum of 1 hour per month for your chosen services.
- Base Setup Fee: €250 – €500 (Determined by company size and architectural complexity).
- 3rd-Party Integrations: + €100 per integration (e.g., connecting social media channels, external CRMs, or specific payment gateways).
Once your foundation is built, you unlock our fractional billing engine. You must select a minimum of 1 hour per month for your chosen services.
- The Predictable Track (Retainer): Starting at €20/hour (Standard 2–3 days delivery). Pre-book your hours to secure our lowest enterprise-grade rates.
- The Flexible Track (Ad-Hoc): Starting at €50/hour. Submit sudden tickets to the Kanban queue; billed as 1 initial hour + required complexity time.
- The Emergency Track: €100 – €200/hour for 24-hour rush delivery on critical technical failures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I own the infrastructure you build?
Yes, 100%. We operate with a strict zero vendor lock-in policy. You retain absolute master admin rights to your domain, workspace, and data. We simply build it and hand you the keys.
Are there recurring monthly fees for this package?
No. The "Starting Business" package is a one-time deployment service. If you require ongoing, automated server maintenance and human oversight, you can seamlessly transition to our "Managing Business" package.
Can you build custom software or apps?
This package covers your foundational IT and operational infrastructure. If you require custom application development, advanced SEO strategy, or dedicated CTO oversight, those fall under our "Scaling & Marketing" services.
The Financial Reality: Hackspett vs. Traditional Hiring
Let’s analyze the math of launching a digital foundation. Building a secure, legally compliant architecture requires senior talent, but you do not need them 40 hours a week once the foundation is laid.
- The Traditional Hire (Organizational Drain): Hiring a mid-level internal developer costs approximately €4,000/month in base salary. When you add mandatory Swedish employer taxes (Arbetsgivaravgifter), your true cost exceeds €5,200/month. You are paying for 160 hours, but actively receiving only a fraction of that in productive code—the rest is paid idle time.
- The Hackspett Cloud Team (Fractional Efficiency): You pay a one-time onboarding fee. After that, you pre-book your required active hours. For example, 20 hours of purely active, highly focused architectural engineering on our Retainer tier (starting at €10/hour) costs you €200/month.
- The Result: You access an elite CTO, a Compliance Auditor, and a Systems Developer for a fraction of the cost of a single traditional hire, with zero IP-leakage risk and zero idle-time waste.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Recommended Entry Point: Revision & Test
Revision & Test
If you do not know the exact state of your digital infrastructure, or if you are unsure which professionals you actually need, we strongly recommend starting with a Revision & Test audit.
You cannot scale a business on a broken foundation. The EU has aggressively accelerated its digital laws, and non-compliance carries severe financial penalties. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) takes full effect on June 28, 2025, alongside strict GDPR and NIS2 (cybersecurity) mandates.
By selecting Revision & Test as your first step, our AI protocols and human auditors will map your technical debt, identify security vulnerabilities, and provide a strict compliance roadmap. Once the audit is complete, we tell you exactly which fractional experts you need to fix the gaps.
Example Cost: "Revision & Test" Baseline Audit
Here is a transparent breakdown of what an initial infrastructure and compliance audit costs under our billing engine.Phase 1: The Initial Audit & Setup (One-Time) To analyze your systems, we must map your architecture and integrate our secure monitoring node.
- Base Audit Fee: €500 (For a standard established SME).
- 3rd-Party Integrations: €100 (e.g., If we also need to audit a third-party CRM or external payment gateway connected to your site).
- Phase 1 Total: €600 (One-Time)
- The Smart Choice (Pre-Booked Retainer): You pre-book the 5 hours for the month to unlock our lowest tier.
- 5 hours x €20/hour = €100
- The Floaty Choice (Ad-Hoc): You don't commit, and submit the fixes as standard tickets to the Kanban queue.
- 5 hours x €50/hour = €250
- Monthly Maintenance: 1 hour/month minimum x €20/hour = €20/month.
