    Security comes standard

    We block threats before they reach your people, then test your defenses the way an attacker would and fix what we find.

    • Endpoint detection and response
    • Zero trust application control
    • Email security
    • Multi-factor authentication
    • Threat monitoring
    • Penetration testing
    • Vulnerability assessments
    • 24/7 help desk, Tier 1 to Tier 3

      Your team can call at 2 a.m. about a locked account or a failed server and reach someone who can fix it.

    • Backup and disaster recovery

      We monitor and test your backups, and we keep a recovery plan ready for outages, ransomware, and storms.

    • Device monitoring and patching

      We watch every computer and server and keep them updated, so small problems get fixed before they cause downtime.

    • Microsoft 365 management

      We handle migrations, licenses, email, Teams, and SharePoint, and keep all of it locked down.

    • Network and firewall management

      Our specialists set up your firewalls and network and keep them running.

    • Hardware procurement and lifecycle

      We buy, set up, and retire equipment on a schedule, so a dying laptop never takes you by surprise.

    • Co-managed IT

      Already have an IT person? Keep them. We fill in with security tools, after-hours coverage, and backup when they're out.

    We know the rules in your industry.

    We set up your technology to meet the requirements you already answer to.

    Add up salary and benefits, and one IT employee usually costs more than managed IT. One person also can't cover security, the help desk, backups, and compliance around the clock.

    Common questions.

    Don't see yours? Call 888-740-6948 and ask.

    How much do managed IT services cost?

    It depends on how many users and devices you have and your security and compliance needs. For most small and mid-sized businesses, it costs less than hiring one IT employee, with enterprise security and backup tools included.

    You pay one flat monthly rate, so there are no surprise repair bills.

    We already have an IT person. Do they have to go?

    No. With co-managed IT, your internal IT person keeps handling daily tasks while we supply security tools, after-hours coverage, and extra expertise.

    We have an IT provider, but they're slow. Can you take over?

    Yes. We handle the transition, including documentation, passwords, and vendor handoffs, so your team isn't stuck in the middle.

    Can you help us meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or cyber insurance requirements?

    Yes. We put the required safeguards in place and help you document them, so you can show auditors, carriers, and insurers that you meet the standard.

    How is this different from break-fix IT?

    Break-fix shops bill you every time something fails. We're paid to keep problems from happening, with monitoring, patching, and security running continuously.

    Stop guessing whether your IT is working the way it should.

    Take the 60-second check or call now. Either way, you'll talk to someone who will see the problem through.
