About Network Kings · Kalamazoo, MI
A security practice that builds AI
We bring enterprise-grade security and practical AI to small and midsize businesses, under one roof. We build AI tools that actually do work, and we deploy them the way security people deploy things: controlled, scoped, and auditable.
We reply within one business day, in English or Spanish.
Why we start with security
You've probably heard that AI can save your team hours. You've probably also wondered where your data goes when it does. That's the right question to ask.
Any AI tool that does real work has to read your documents, your records, and your customer information. So we treat every project as a trust decision first and a software project second. Each tool gets only the access it needs, keeps a record of what it does, and gets a security review before it touches your real data. Our lead engineer has 15 years in regulated financial services, where that habit is the norm, and we don't skip it because a project is small.
Who does the work
When you hire a vendor, you want to know who's actually on the other end.
- CISSP-led. CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) is a security certification from ISC2, a nonprofit security association. Earning it takes years of paid, hands-on security work and a demanding exam, and keeping it takes ongoing training. Ours is in good standing.
- Certified to test, not only to advise. Alongside the CISSP, our credentials include CISM, CISA, GCIH, eCPPT, and CompTIA PenTest+, covering security management, audit, incident handling, and hands-on penetration testing.
- Security habits from finance. Our lead engineer spent 15 years in regulated financial services, where access is limited, activity is logged, and every change is reviewed.
- No hand-offs. The engineer who plans your system also builds it, secures it, moves your data, and answers your questions. No account manager passing messages to someone else's engineers.
Something we built and run every day
It's fair to ask whether a vendor has ever run what they sell. We have. ProBook is a quoting, invoicing, and AI phone-answering platform we built for small service businesses. We run it every day, on private hosting we manage, and small contractors use it to run their businesses. The quote form on this website runs on ProBook too.
"If you're a contractor wondering if this is worth it, I'd say it absolutely is."
What we stand for
- Security is the starting point, not the checkbox. AI touches your data, so every project is a security decision before it's a software project. Tools get only the access they need, keep a record of what they do, and get a review before they touch real data.
- Plain talk. No hype words, no jargon walls, no overselling. We tell you what AI fixes and what it doesn't, what it costs, and what's out of scope before you sign. If a number can be known before work starts, you see it before work starts. See pricing.
- Proof over promises. Working systems, not slides. We verify before we claim, and a demo is only a demo until it runs in production. See what we run ourselves.
- Humans where they matter. Machines do the repetitive lift; people handle the relationships. Our AI picks up when you can't and hands off the moment a real conversation matters. It works alongside your people, not instead of them.
- Technology in your language. English and Spanish, both first-class: our sites, proposals, the tools we build, and support. No business should have to translate itself to get good technology. Se habla español.
- Stay sharp, stay honest. We hold certifications because the work demands it, and we'll tell you an uncomfortable truth about your security even when it's not what you asked to hear. We'd rather lose a sale than watch a bad decision hurt you.
One more thing you can hold us to: custom software we deliver is yours once it's paid for, with no per-seat fees. We're not an influencer shop or a body shop. We're the security people who build AI, and we intend to keep it that way.
How we work
-
Assess. Before any proposal, we look at the work you want off your plate, the systems involved, and the data it touches. You get an honest answer on what AI will fix and what it won't.
-
Try it on one task. We build one tool for one task and test it on your real data. You see the price before we start, and you check its work before it goes live.
-
Run. Once it proves itself, we can run it for you on a monthly plan quoted to fit: we watch it, update it, and review its security. It does the repetitive work and hands off to a person as soon as a real conversation matters.
Where we work
We're based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and work with businesses across West Michigan: Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Portage, Battle Creek, Holland, Muskegon. We also work remotely with businesses anywhere in the US. We're available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern, in English or Spanish.
Start with one task
Like the invoices your office manager retypes every Monday. Tell us what it is, and we'll tell you what it takes, what it costs, and what AI won't fix.
