What you get every month

More than a number to call, a managed service.

Most of what I do happens quietly in the background. Here's what's included in a managed plan, every month, with no extras to chase.

Proactive monitoring & auto-remediation

Devices, servers and core services watched around the clock. Common problems are fixed automatically before they reach you.

Patching & maintenance

Operating system and third-party updates rolled out and verified, with scheduled restarts at quiet times.

Backup verification

Cloud backup for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and key systems, with restores actually tested every month.

Endpoint security

Managed antivirus and threat response on every device, alerts triaged and resolved on your behalf.

Phishing simulation & training

Short, friendly security awareness training and realistic phishing tests so your team becomes a strong line of defence.

A plain-English monthly report

Every month you see what was detected, fixed, backed up and trained, so you can prove the value, not just trust it.
