Managed IT Services for Humboldt County Businesses

Your business runs on email, shared files, and a handful of computers that all need to work today. When they don't, everything stops. And calling around for help after something breaks is the most expensive way to do IT.

Managed IT means we take responsibility for keeping your technology working before it fails: monitoring, maintenance, security, and backups handled continuously, with real people to call when you need help.

What We Manage

Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace

We handle your Microsoft 365 licensing, setup, and administration (email, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint) so accounts, sharing, and access are set up right and stay that way. For Google Workspace, we manage users, access, shared files, and security settings so your team can work together without account sprawl or permission problems.

Email Security

Most business email problems we see aren't bad luck. They're missing configuration. We set up and maintain the standards (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) that keep your email delivered, your domain protected from spoofing, and phishing attempts out of your inboxes.

Security & Monitoring

Every covered computer gets managed endpoint protection, patching, and monitoring. We enforce multi-factor authentication, watch for suspicious sign-in activity, and respond when something looks wrong. Attacks on small businesses are automated, constant, and don't care that you're in Humboldt County.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

A backup you've never restored from is a guess. We manage your backups and verify they actually work, so a failed drive, a ransomware incident, or a deleted folder is an inconvenience instead of a catastrophe.

Helpdesk & On-Site Support

Remote support for the daily stuff, on-site visits for everything else. Business support hours run 9 to 5, Monday through Friday.

Why a Local MSP

Plenty of companies will manage your IT from three time zones away. Here's what they can't do:

  • Show up.When a server, network, or line-of-business system needs hands on hardware, we drive over. Same day is normal, not an escalation.
  • Know your ground.We've supported Humboldt County organizations for over 31 years, from construction companies and professional services firms to tribal governments. We understand the connectivity, vendors, and realities of working here.
  • Be accountable.You know where our shop is. The people who support your business live here too.

What It Costs

Every business is different. Five laptops and cloud email is a different job than servers, field crews, and compliance requirements. We don't publish one-size-fits-all packages. We look at your environment, talk through what you actually need, and quote a flat monthly rate so your IT costs are predictable.

The consultation is free, and there's no obligation. Worst case, you leave with a better picture of your own setup.
