“I can never reach our IT person when something breaks.”
You get a local helpdesk that picks up during business hours — and a technician at your office the same day when it matters.
“Every month there’s a surprise invoice, and the same problems keep coming back.”
One flat monthly price covers the fixing and the preventing, so the same problem doesn’t bill you twice.
“Are we actually protected? Honestly, I don’t know.”
You get a straight answer, in writing — and when your insurance renewal asks hard questions, you’ll have the proof.
You didn’t start your business to manage computers. Our job is to make IT something you stop thinking about.

Questions, answered
How does your pricing work?
Flat monthly pricing per user — no hourly surprises, no invoice for every phone call. Where you land depends on headcount and how much compliance evidence your business needs, which is exactly what the free gap analysis scopes. You'll leave it knowing what you need, what you already have, and what closing the gap costs.
We already have an IT provider. How painful is switching?
Less than staying with the wrong one. Onboarding is a structured 30-day process: we document your entire environment as we take it over, so you end up with something most businesses have never had — a complete, written record of your own IT. Your old provider's cooperation helps but isn't required; we've onboarded plenty of clients whose previous IT person simply vanished.
What are your actual response times?
Most tickets are answered within the hour during business hours, and critical issues on our Complete plan carry a 30-minute response commitment. On-site is same-day across the Tri-Valley — we're in Pleasanton, so most client offices are a 10-to-20-minute drive, not a dispatch decision.
Do you replace our current IT person, or work with them?
Either. Fully managed means we're your IT department. If you have a good internal person who's stretched thin, co-managed IT keeps them in place and adds our security layer behind them — with a written split of responsibilities so nothing falls between two teams.
Which compliance frameworks do you cover?
Our core programs are HIPAA (medical and dental), IRS Publication 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule (CPA and tax firms — and the wider Safeguards family: auto dealerships, insurance agencies, and title/escrow companies), SEC and FINRA requirements (advisory firms), and NIST 800-171 self-assessment (defense subcontractors). California privacy obligations get layered on where they apply. If your framework isn't on that list, we'll say so honestly and refer you well.
