We act as the IT department for small businesses in the Algarve, and hospitality is our speciality: small hotels, quintas, rural guesthouses and holiday rentals. We start with the on-site Raio-X: a visit to look at the computers, the network, the backups and the team’s accounts, switch on two-factor login on the accounts that matter and spend 20 minutes with the team on fake messages, such as the ones that imitate Booking or the bank. After that we keep watch every month, remotely, and we are there when something goes wrong.
What you get
In practice
On 7 November 2026, livinstaysalgarve.com moved its DMARC policy from p=none to p=quarantine. First we checked that both real senders (the app’s guest e-mails, sent through Resend, and the Titan mailboxes) passed DKIM alignment. The move to p=reject comes after 2 to 4 weeks of clean reports.
The on-site Raio-X, the first step: a visit to check computers, protection, remote access, the router, Wi-Fi, backups and accounts, with a short report and a quote for what to fix
Accounts locked down: two-factor login on Booking, Airbnb, Google and e-mail, one account per person and former staff removed
Your domain’s e-mail protected with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, step by step until mail servers reject forged e-mails
A briefing for the team on fake Booking messages and payment scams, and what to do when one arrives
Scheduled backups, tested with a real restore
Devices and Wi-Fi: the guest network separate from the reception network, staff computers and phones kept up to date
Domain, certificate and website watched: a warning before a renewal fails and when the site stops responding
A one-page monthly report in plain language
Help when something goes wrong: an account taken over, e-mail that stopped arriving, a computer that will not start
We also build the tools a property runs on every day: housekeeping on the phone, online check-in that files the SIBA guest report by itself, invoices issued automatically.

The first time, yes: that is the on-site Raio-X, a visit to look at the computers and the network, switch on two-factor login with whoever uses each account, and talk to the team. The monthly follow-up is almost all done remotely.
No, and nobody can promise that. We close the ways in that are used most: accounts without a second factor, e-mails forged in your domain’s name and fake messages the team does not recognise.
Always your business’s. Where we need to get in, we use an access of our own, which you can remove whenever you like.
The on-site Raio-X is quoted to measure: from a few numbers you give us in the form (computers, people, e-mail accounts, cameras) we send an estimate before the visit and confirm it in a short call. After it, we propose a fixed price for whatever needs fixing and, if you want it, a monthly fee for the follow-up. The Raio-X Digital is free.
