Why your cannabis business needs
a cannabis-exclusive IT partner.
Generic IT companies don't understand your compliance obligations, your POS ecosystem, or the regulatory risks that come with a single misconfigured network.
What happens when your IT provider doesn't know cannabis
Your METRC integration goes down during a state audit — and your IT provider asks "what's METRC?" Your surveillance system fails a retention check because nobody calculated the storage requirements for your state's specific mandate. Ransomware encrypts your POS and customer data, and your provider doesn't have a cannabis-specific incident response plan — they don't even know which state agency to notify.
These aren't hypothetical scenarios. They're the reasons 710IT was built.
What makes a cannabis-exclusive IT provider different
We know your compliance stack
METRC, BioTrack, state-specific surveillance retention, seed-to-sale tracking, access control logging — we configure and maintain these systems because we work with them every day, not once a year when you call with a problem.
We support your POS ecosystem
Dutchie, Flowhub, Cova, BLAZE, Treez — we know how each integrates with METRC, how to configure offline fallback, and how to troubleshoot payment processing issues unique to cannabis.
We design networks for cannabis
VLAN segmentation separating POS traffic, surveillance cameras, IoT sensors, METRC data, and guest WiFi. Dual-WAN failover so a single ISP outage doesn't shut down your sales floor. This is standard in our deployments — most general MSPs don't even think about it.
We understand your threat landscape
The Everest ransomware group is actively targeting cannabis. The STIIIZY breach exposed 380,000 customer records. Cannabis businesses are high-value targets with historically weak defenses. We build security programs designed for this specific risk profile.
We won't fire you as a client
Many IT providers refuse cannabis engagements due to federal classification concerns, insurance restrictions, or simple discomfort. We built our entire practice around this industry. You'll never get a call saying we can no longer support your account.
The cost of choosing wrong
A generic MSP charges the same monthly rate but delivers less value because they're learning your industry on your dime. Every misconfigured firewall rule, every missed surveillance retention requirement, every METRC outage they can't handle — those are risks to your license, your customer data, and your business. The question isn't whether you can afford a cannabis-exclusive IT partner. It's whether you can afford not to have one.
