24/7 Monitoring and Maintenance: Servers, workstations and network devices watched around the clock, with fixes applied before your team notices a problem.
Unlimited IT Support: Real engineers for every user and device, with no hourly billing.
Cybersecurity-First Protection: Endpoint and network security on every device, backed by our cybersecurity team.
Microsoft 365 and Azure Management: Licensing, users, security settings and day-to-day administration handled for you.
Backup and Disaster Recovery: Encrypted backups with tested recovery and business continuity planning.
Patch and Vulnerability Management: Systems kept current on a defined schedule, with known vulnerabilities tracked until they’re fixed.

Strategic IT Planning and vCIO Guidance: Regular reviews of budgets, risk and upcoming projects so IT supports your business goals.

Everything is designed to reduce downtime, lower risk and keep IT aligned with where your business is going.

Your First 30 Days: How We Actually Start

When Alliance Tech takes over your IT environment, the first 30 days are about gaining visibility and establishing control without disrupting operations. Here’s what happens during our onboarding process:

1Deploy2Discover3Document

We deploy the Armada stack across your infrastructure so you’re protected from the start: endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), email security, encrypted backup with tested recovery and automated patch management.

At the same time, we run full environment discovery across Microsoft 365, Active Directory and all endpoints. We look at who has admin rights, what’s accessible from the internet, whether MFA is enforced on every account, and whether backups are actually being tested and restored.

Finally, we document what actually exists: systems, applications, licenses, configurations and dependencies. Urgent risks get fixed first, and everything else goes into a prioritized plan.

The goal is simple: no surprises for you and no unknown exposures for us. You know exactly what we found, and we know exactly what we’re fixing.

The Three Infrastructure Weaknesses We See (And Fix) in Nearly Every New Client

In 26 years of taking over IT environments, three preventable vulnerabilities show up again and again. Answer three quick questions to see how your environment compares.

1. Network architecture

Are your workstations, servers, VoIP phones and guest Wi-Fi on separate, segmented networks?

YesNoNot sure

Flat network architecture. When everything shares one logical network, a compromised workstation has direct access to everything else. A threat actor who gets in through a phishing email can move laterally to your file servers and critical systems without crossing a security boundary. We fix this by segmenting your network so each group of systems sits behind its own firewall rules.

Good start. During onboarding we verify that segmentation is enforced by firewall rules and that sensitive systems can’t be reached from general user traffic.

2. Microsoft 365 security

Has your Microsoft 365 security been configured beyond the default settings, with Conditional Access, data loss prevention, audit logging and restricted sharing?

YesNoNot sure

Microsoft 365 running at default security settings. External sharing is open, audit logging isn’t enabled, and there’s no data loss prevention or Conditional Access. Email, file storage and collaboration are the biggest attack surface for most businesses, and sensitive data is often shared through anonymous links with no expiration date. We harden your tenant, lock down sharing and turn on the logging you’ll need if something goes wrong.

Good start. We’ll confirm those policies are enforced for every user and review sign-in and sharing activity for anything unusual.

3. Incident response

Has your incident response plan been tested with a tabletop exercise in the last 12 months?

YesNoNot sure

No tested incident response plan. A policy document that’s never been exercised usually has no mapped notification requirements, no relationship with legal counsel or your cyber insurer, and no defined decision-making authority for the first hour of a breach. We build a practical plan with your leadership and run a tabletop exercise so everyone knows their role.

Good start. We’ll review the plan against current threats and make sure your insurer, counsel and notification steps are mapped.

Answer all three questions to see your result.

of 3 common weaknesses may be present in your environment

We fix these systematically as part of every Armada onboarding. A consultation is the fastest way to confirm where you stand.

Your answers suggest a strong foundation. A consultation can verify those controls are enforced the way you expect.

Security Is Built Into Everything We Do

Our philosophy is cybersecurity first, always. We assess security exposure before we optimize performance, and we fix what’s broken before it becomes a breach. As part of Armada managed IT services, every client gets:

Continuous Threat Monitoring: Our 24/7 Security Operations Center has real engineers reviewing alerts around the clock.
Advanced Endpoint and Firewall Protection: Behavioral detection catches threats based on what they do, before they can do any damage.
Ransomware Prevention and Incident Response: Documented procedures, relationships with counsel and tabletop exercises keep you prepared for ransomware and other incidents.
Ongoing Assessments: Regular security assessments and policy enforcement keep you compliant and in the best position for cyber insurance coverage.
Training for Your People: Cybersecurity awareness training, because your employees are one of the most important parts of your security stack.

Being the only Sophos Gold Partner in the St. Louis region lets us deploy and manage enterprise-grade security tools most MSPs can’t offer.

An Average 3-Minute Response Time Backed by a 97% Customer Satisfaction Rate

When IT problems affect your team, response time matters. Here’s what that looks like day to day:

Real Engineers: You reach certified engineers, not a call center.
Immediate Acknowledgment: Issues are picked up right away, not left sitting in a queue.
Fixed Correctly: Problems are resolved efficiently and documented so they don’t come back.
Vendor Escalation: If you rely on Schwab, Fidelity, specific CRM platforms or industry software, we have escalation contacts in place before you need them.

That responsiveness comes from our staffing depth, certifications and operational maturity, and it saves hours during critical moments.
