Managed IT

IT support that keeps security in view.

Devices, users, access, backups, day-to-day support. Run by people who understand that most security gaps start life as ordinary IT loose ends.

Where IT problems turn into security problems

A slow laptop is annoying. An unmanaged laptop full of client files is a breach that hasn't happened yet.

Offboarding that "never quite finished" is simpler to describe: it's a former employee who can still log in. And a backup nobody has tested isn't really a backup. It's a checkbox, right up until the day it's the only thing standing between you and starting over.

The line between "IT issue" and "security incident" is mostly time. Managed IT, done properly, is the cheapest security control you'll ever buy, because it closes gaps while they're still inconveniences.

What's included

User support

Responsive help with accounts, devices, access, and email, from people who answer in plain language and know your environment.

Device management

Every laptop, desktop, and mobile device set up consistently, updated on schedule, and visible — including the ones that never come to the office.

Onboarding and offboarding

New people productive on day one with exactly the access they need. Departures handled as a defined process — accounts, devices, and shared access reviewed and closed on a checklist, not left to memory. This is the control most companies fail quietly.

Cloud workspace support

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configured deliberately: permissions, sharing rules, email security, and the settings most setups leave at whatever the default was.

Backups and recovery

Backup coverage matched to what the business actually can't lose, with restores tested on a schedule instead of discovered during the emergency.

Access management

Permissions reviewed on a rhythm, MFA enforced, admin rights trimmed to the people who genuinely need them. Permissions expand by default; we make them shrink on purpose.

Vendor coordination

For the systems we manage, we work directly with the vendors behind them — the email platform, the backup provider, the line-of-business app — so your team isn't the go-between.

The same foundation, three industries

Financial firms

Device and access discipline around client data — the controls a WISP claims and an insurer asks about.

Energy operators

Managed endpoints and clean access for field teams, vendors, and the office systems that sit one hop from operations.

Contractors

The IT hygiene CMMC quietly assumes: managed devices, controlled accounts, logging, and documentation that matches the environment.

The Droptine approach

Stabilize the basics

Devices inventoried and managed, accounts cleaned up, email and backups verified. Boring, foundational, and skipped more often than anyone admits.

Reduce access risk

Every permission needs a current reason to exist. Admin rights, shared accounts, and vendor access get reviewed against that standard — and trimmed.

Keep it maintained

Updates applied, access reviewed, backups tested, documentation current. On a schedule, not when something breaks.

Signs your current IT setup is costing you

  • Nobody can list every device with company data on it.
  • Offboarding means "we'll get to the accounts eventually."
  • The last backup restore test was never.
  • Admin passwords live in a spreadsheet, or in one person's head.
  • Your provider closes tickets fast but has never once raised a risk.
  • Every compliance or insurance questionnaire turns into an archaeology project.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace our current IT provider?

Only if that's what you want. Some clients bring us in for security on top of existing IT; others consolidate both with us. The real answer comes after we see what's working. If your current setup is solid, we'll say so.

What's the difference between this and your managed cybersecurity service?

Managed IT keeps the environment running and clean. Managed cybersecurity watches for and responds to threats against it. They're separate services because some companies need one, not both — but they're designed to work as a pair.

Do you support remote and field teams?

Yes. That's where IT management earns its keep: a distributed team without device management isn't remote work, it's unmanaged risk with a VPN.

Can you help us get ready for a compliance or insurance review?

Yes. Most of what reviewers ask about — device management, access control, backups, offboarding — is exactly this service. We keep the documentation current so the questionnaire is an afternoon, not a project.

IT that does more than close tickets.
