When threats come
for your business,
we're already
in the way.

Most MSPs are help desks that added "cybersecurity" to the brochure. We're a cybersecurity-first firm that also delivers managed IT. The difference shows up in how we hire (security engineers vs. tier-1 support reps), how we price (security included, not upsold), how we operate (named bodyguards on accounts, not anonymous ticket queues), and how we contract (month-to-month available, written guarantees, published RTOs). If your current MSP can't tell you when your backups were last actually restored — not checked, restored — that's the gap we exist to fill.

Our sweet spot is professional and operating businesses between 15 and 250 employees. That's the range where the threat surface is large enough to be serious, but the team isn't large enough to staff a full internal security function. Above 250 we typically work in a co-managed model alongside an internal IT team. Below 15 we're often too much firm for the need — happy to recommend a smaller MSP that fits.

No. We offer month-to-month managed services because we believe we should earn the renewal every month. Multi-year agreements are available if a client prefers them (typically at a modest discount), but they're optional, not a trap. We don't believe in auto-renewal clauses that punish clients for leaving.

Flat-fee managed services in California typically run $150-$250 per user per month, depending on stack depth and SLA tier. Network projects are scoped and priced individually based on assessment findings. We publish our tiers and what each includes — there are no hidden security upcharges and no "out of scope" surprise invoices. The first conversation always starts with a free Reality Check or Network Health Assessment so we both know what we're talking about before money enters the picture.

Yes — co-managed IT is one of our fastest-growing service lines. Your team handles day-to-day support and institutional knowledge. We bring 24/7 SOC monitoring, security engineering, DR testing, vendor stack management, and the deep specialist skills you can't justify hiring full-time. Most co-managed engagements free your internal team to focus on strategic projects instead of firefighting.

HIPAA, CCPA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST CSF, CMMC, FINRA, SEC, FERPA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and most state-level data privacy regulations. We're not a CPA firm or a law firm — we don't issue compliance attestations. We do build, document, and operate the technical controls that pass audits and satisfy carrier requirements, and we partner with auditors and counsel when formal certification is required.

For managed services clients: 15-minute response for critical incidents, 24/7. Our SOC monitors continuously, so most incidents are detected and contained before anyone files a ticket. For new prospects in active incident: we run a 24-hour emergency engagement line and can typically be remotely engaged within 60 minutes. We're based in Southern California — when on-site is needed, we're not flying engineers in from another time zone.

That's the most common starting point. We handle transitions all the time and we manage the handoff so it doesn't fall on you. Start with a Reality Check or a Protection Audit — those engagements stand on their own and don't require leaving your current MSP. If the findings make a switch the right call, we'll show you exactly what the transition looks like before you commit to anything.
