Northview Technology provides practical technology support, cybersecurity guidance, and IT consulting for homes, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations throughout the Twin Cities.
Whether you need help solving an immediate problem, improving an existing system, or making a larger technology decision, the goal is the same: understand the problem first, explain the options clearly, and recommend a solution that makes sense for your needs and budget.
Services range from individual troubleshooting and repairs to ongoing technology guidance, cybersecurity assessments, and consulting engagements.
Computer Repair & Support
When a computer isn't working properly, the first step is determining what's actually wrong rather than immediately replacing parts or recommending a new machine.
Northview Technology provides troubleshooting, repair, configuration, and technical support for home and small-business computers and related equipment.
Services include:
Slow computers, startup problems, and operating system issues
Hardware troubleshooting, upgrades, and replacement
Software installation and configuration

Whether you're dealing with a computer that won't start or setting up equipment for a new employee, the goal is to get your technology working reliably and help you understand your options.
Wi-Fi & Networking
Unreliable Wi-Fi can result from router placement, interference, building construction, outdated equipment, configuration problems, or simply trying to cover more space than one wireless access point can reasonably handle.
Northview Technology provides home and small-business networking services, including:
Wi-Fi troubleshooting and coverage improvement
Router, switch, and wireless access point installation
Mesh Wi-Fi system configuration
Wired networking and connectivity troubleshooting
Network equipment upgrades and configuration

Whether you're trying to eliminate dead zones in a multi-story home or improve connectivity throughout a small business, the goal is a reliable network that supports how you actually use technology.

Cybersecurity & Risk Management
Cybersecurity isn't simply a matter of purchasing more security products. It involves understanding your risks, protecting important information, preparing for disruptions, and making sound decisions about how technology is managed.
Northview Technology provides practical cybersecurity services for both individuals and organizations.
Home & Personal Cybersecurity
Protecting your home technology and online accounts is increasingly important as more of daily life depends on connected devices and digital services.

Small businesses face many of the same cybersecurity risks as larger organizations, often without dedicated security staff or the resources to manage those risks internally.
Northview Technology provides practical cybersecurity assessments, advisory services, and security program guidance appropriate to the size and complexity of your organization.
Services include:
Cybersecurity risk assessments and gap analysis
Virtual CISO and fractional security leadership
Security roadmap and policy development

These services can also complement an existing IT provider or managed service provider by providing independent security oversight, identifying gaps, clarifying expectations, and helping determine whether your organization's cybersecurity needs are being adequately addressed.
Technology Consulting
Sometimes the challenge isn't fixing something that's broken. It's deciding what to purchase, what to replace, how different systems should work together, or whether a proposed technology investment actually makes sense.
Northview Technology provides independent technology guidance for homeowners, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations.
Consulting services include:
Technology assessments and planning
IT strategy and infrastructure roadmaps
Hardware and software selection
Cloud services and technology modernization
IT operations and service delivery improvements

The goal is to recommend technology that fits your needs, budget, and long-term plans.
