Managed IT Services · 24/7 Monitoring · 30-Min Response · Flat-Rate

IT management that worksbefore your team notices a problem.

Recurring IT problems, slow vendor responses, unpredictable bills, and employees waiting for help are signs of reactive IT. Managed IT from Edge Secure shifts that model — proactive monitoring, predictable pricing, and one team accountable for your entire technology environment.

Who managed IT is designed for

Managed IT is best suited for businesses with 5–200 employees that rely on technology to operate but do not have a dedicated in-house IT department. It works for organizations that need consistent, accountable IT management without the cost of full-time technical staff.

It is also a strong fit for businesses that have had break-fix IT in the past — meaning they called someone only when something broke — and have experienced the cost and frustration of that reactive approach.

What's Included

Managed services within your agreed monthly scope

Predictable monthly pricing for agreed managed services; projects, equipment, licenses, cloud and other third-party fees are quoted separately. Included services and exclusions are documented in your service agreement.

24/7 Proactive Monitoring

Supported managed servers, endpoints, and network infrastructure are monitored around the clock. When monitoring detects conditions such as disk-health problems, resource spikes, or service failures, Edge Secure investigates and responds according to priority and the applicable service scope.

Microsoft 365 Administration

User provisioning, license management, Exchange mailbox administration, SharePoint configuration, Teams policy, and Microsoft 365 security hardening. We handle admin work so your team can focus on business.

Server and Network Management

Physical servers, virtual machines, switches, routers, firewalls — we manage the health of your infrastructure. Configuration changes, firmware updates, capacity planning, and ongoing performance reviews are all part of the plan.

Patch Management

Supported managed devices and systems are patched according to a risk-prioritized process, with deployment controls and reporting appropriate to the environment. Patch management is an important control for reducing exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Employee Onboarding and Offboarding

New hire accounts, device setup, software access, email configuration, and access rights — managed on a defined schedule. Departing-employee account deactivation, access revocation, and data-preservation steps are coordinated promptly according to the requested termination timing, available system controls, and the agreed service scope.

Backup Review and Disaster Recovery

Backup configuration, monitoring, representative restore testing, recovery objectives, and documented restoration procedures are managed according to scope. Restore testing provides stronger evidence of recoverability than a successful backup-job status alone.

Vendor Coordination

ISPs, software vendors, hardware suppliers, VoIP providers, line-of-business application vendors — we coordinate with your technology vendors so you have one point of contact instead of managing multiple support queues yourself.

IT Documentation and Strategic Planning

Network diagrams, asset inventories, password vaults, configuration backups, and vendor contact records — all maintained and updated. Annual technology reviews help you plan upgrades, avoid surprises, and budget confidently.

Remote and On-Site Support

Many common support issues can be resolved remotely. When on-site work is required — hardware, cabling, or in-person configuration — we schedule it according to priority and service scope. Southern California-based, available for on-site visits across the Inland Empire and surrounding areas.

The Real Comparison

Break-fix versus managed IT — scenario by scenario

Same situation. Very different experience — and a very different bill at the end of the month.

Common Questions

Managed IT — Frequently Asked Questions

Engagement Options

Choose the right way to work with Edge Secure

Not every business needs the same level of engagement. Edge Secure works across multiple models depending on your team, your existing capabilities, and your goals.

Fully Managed IT

Edge Secure serves as your primary technology team — handling all day-to-day IT support, administration, monitoring, and planning.

Co-Managed IT

We work alongside an internal employee or team to fill specific gaps — additional monitoring, projects, expertise, or overflow coverage.

Project-Based

Defined technology projects — server migrations, network upgrades, Microsoft 365 deployments — without a recurring managed agreement.

Advisory

Technology strategy, planning, and architecture guidance — with your team executing and Edge Secure providing direction and oversight.

The appropriate model depends on your team size, existing IT capabilities, and budget. Edge Secure helps identify the right fit during the initial assessment.

Onboarding Process

How onboarding works

Every managed IT engagement begins with a structured onboarding process to document your environment and establish the service foundation. Timeline varies by environment complexity and your team's availability.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We review your current environment, existing documentation, and support pain points. We identify immediate risks and service priorities.

  2. 02

    Environment review

    Inventory of devices, servers, network equipment, user accounts, software licenses, and active vendors.

  3. 03

    Access and documentation

    Credentials and system access are organized, vaulted, and verified. Documentation is started or updated to reflect the current state.

  4. 04

    Initial remediation

    Critical gaps — unpatched systems, missing MFA, broken backup jobs — are addressed before ongoing monitoring begins.

  5. 05

    Monitoring and support activation

    Monitoring agents are deployed. Helpdesk support goes live. Response commitments become active under the service agreement.

  6. 06

    Ongoing improvement

    Regular technology reviews, lifecycle planning, and improvement recommendations continue for the duration of the engagement.

After onboarding

  • Priority issues addressed under the response commitment
  • Devices and accounts managed on a defined schedule
  • Monthly patch cycle maintained and logged
  • Backup jobs monitored — failures escalated
  • Vendor issues routed through Edge Secure
  • Regular technology review and planning conversations
  • Documentation updated as the environment changes

Client responsibilities

A managed IT engagement works best when both parties fulfill their responsibilities. Edge Secure manages the technology; clients maintain the business context and decisions.

Timely access

Providing system credentials, network access, and physical access when needed to complete work.

Accurate user records

Keeping Edge Secure informed of new hires, role changes, and departing employees so accounts are managed correctly.

Change approvals

Reviewing and approving material system changes before they are implemented.

Agreed security procedures

Following the security policies and practices agreed at the start of the engagement, including MFA use and acceptable-use guidelines.

Business decisions

Decisions about software purchases, vendor contracts, and business-driven technology changes remain with the client.

Timely communication

Reporting issues promptly and responding to Edge Secure requests during active investigations or change windows.

Next Step

Request an IT and Security Assessment

Ask about reviewing your environment, support gaps and security concerns. This is an inquiry, not a completed assessment or confirmed appointment. Scope, availability and scheduling are confirmed after follow-up.

A no-obligation conversation; scope and scheduling confirmed after inquiry.
