Who is Ciz ICT?
Ciz ICT (Ciz Information and Communications Technology) is an IT services business based in Ireland. It was founded in 2018 by Cillian O'Driscoll, who recognised the need for an IT professional to help with everyday tech issues. Having spent his spare time helping neighbours and family with their IT needs, Cillian decided to create a company that could provide these services to a wider audience.
We Make Tech Easy
We understand the difficulties that small businesses face when dealing with IT issues without the necessary skillset. Homeowners also often struggle with setting up their WiFi and personal devices. To address these issues, we offer a different approach to tech support. Our service is friendly, personal, and staffed with skilled technicians. We take pride in our work, and our goal is to solve problems and prevent future issues from arising.
No more Tech Jargon!
There is nothing worse than trying to solve a problem and hearing technical jargon and acronyms. While IT specialists have the best intentions, they often can't help themselves!
At Ciz ICT, we have the know-how you need, but we also pride ourselves on explaining issues and solutions in a way that's easy to understand.
WiFi Everywhere
Are your kids complaining that they can't use their devices? Is Netflix grinding to a halt? Are there constant connection drops or black spots in your home? Do you have devices that can't connect at all? Whether you live in a rural or urban area, or an old or new building, your internet service can be improved.
Internet Service Providers typically supply standard, low-spec routers, and the WiFi signal is not always strong enough to service the modern home. That's where Ciz ICT comes in. We offer the latest in wired and wireless solutions to give you the best possible WiFi signal throughout your home.
Did you know you could share your WiFi? If you have a live WiFi connection in your home, we can make this available to you in a building with a clear line of sight to it. For instance, an outside office or gym. If you're a farmer and want to see your calving or IP CCTV cameras on your smartphone, you'll need a live internet connection in that location. We can make this happen for you!

Don't worry if you are not sure what these phrases mean or if they're even right for you - it's our job to find the right solution and to explain it in a language you can understand.
Home Office Fit-Out
Working from home is here to stay, and we can help you set up your office space to the highest standards. Whether your needs are modest or more complex, we can provide strong, reliable wired and wireless internet connections, dado trunking installation to house (and hide) your electrical and data switches, printer setup, and internet security packages to make your workstation secure from viruses and malware.
Secure My PC/IT Security
Cyber security threats evolve and so have the tools to deal with them. Ciz ICT has partnered with leading security firms to provide solutions to meet modern security threats. Ciz ICT provides a multi-layered approach consisting of 4 solutions:
Solution 1 - Device and Network Protection
Antivirus software detects, prevents, and remedies malicious software on your device or network. Partnering with a leading global cybersecurity provider, Ciz ICT supplies class-leading managed antivirus software. Ciz ICT will install, configure and manage your antivirus so you can concentrate on what’s important to you.
Solution 2 - Advanced Email Threat Protection
With Advanced Email Threat Protection - Ciz ICT offers a class-leading system that helps to keep out threats such as phishing, spam, and malware.
Solution 3 - Human Risk Management
Security solutions like antivirus are extremely important and effective at stopping threats, but, as we have seen all too often in the news of late, that still leaves the possibility of human error. To address this challenge, Ciz ICT has partnered with the provider of a leading Human Risk Management (HRM) system. Building upon traditional tools such as Antivirus, Human Risk Management (HRM) treats humans as the first or strongest line of defence against evolving cyber threats. Simple to set up and fast to deploy, this system provides a ‘full-circle’ solution to human risk with the inclusion of:
- Automated & tailored cyber security training
- Automated simulated Phishing attacks
- Dark Web monitoring
- Automated Policy Management
Solution 4 - Data backup/Disaster Recovery
Finally, Ciz ICT offers a solution to backup or save all your important data in case the worst happens. Featuring auto backup and rapid restore, the solution is easy to set up with minimum of intervention required by you.
IT Cabling and Networks
Data cabling requires a specialist installer to ensure it is completed safely and to the highest standard. Ciz ICT's experienced installers can handle your indoor and outdoor cabling, patch panels, network routers, switches, and business server installations. We have experience setting up mini comms areas in homes as well as large-scale comms rooms in schools, stores, and offices.
CCTV
Ciz ICT is a PSA-registered and licensed Installer of Security Equipment (CCTV). You can view our credentials here- simply type 'cizict' into the Trading Name field.
Unfortunately, security cameras are becoming a necessity to deter crime in our homes and businesses. However, modern security systems have become more sophisticated, convenient, and cost-effective. Features such as remote monitoring from your phone, night vision, and weather resistance mean that a modern and sophisticated solution is within reach at a reasonable price.
Modern security systems can provide benefits beyond deterring crime:
- For our farming community, cameras can help monitor herds and provide invaluable assistance in easing the burden during calving and lambing season. In addition, with appropriate positioning, they can protect water and feed from pests.
- Installing a CCTV system with a licensed installer can also help lower insurance costs.
- CCTV can be invaluable for personal safety.
- Modern security systems can also help keep tabs on elderly parents and even pets.
Whatever your needs, Ciz ICT will guide you through the necessary steps, including risk assessment and advice on equipment, positioning, and approach.
IT Training
Ciz ICT can empower your workforce and improve efficiency and performance with a wide variety of training solutions for Irish SMEs at a reasonable cost. This includes training in:
- Digital Skills
- Microsoft Office
- IT Security
