FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "managed IT services" actually include?
+

Our managed services include 24/7 monitoring, endpoint management, patch management, backup and disaster recovery, cybersecurity (endpoint protection, dark web monitoring, email filtering, SOC), helpdesk support, vendor management, compliance reporting, and regular business reviews — all bundled into a predictable monthly fee.

What is the difference between Platinum, Gold, and Silver?
+

The tiers differ in scope, response speed, and depth of coverage. Platinum provides fully managed infrastructure with real-time incident response, root cause analysis, advanced endpoint protection, and monthly reviews. Gold offers proactive management with 8-hour SLA and quarterly reviews. Silver provides essential reactive support with bi-annual reviews — ideal as an entry point with a clear upgrade path.

How long does onboarding take?
+

Most onboardings complete within 2–4 weeks. We begin with a discovery assessment, deploy monitoring and security agents, build your documentation, and enter a 30-day stabilization period to baseline and optimize before transitioning to steady-state management.

Do I still need internal IT staff?
+

That depends on your organization. Many clients fully outsource IT operations to us, while others retain an internal IT lead who focuses on strategic projects while we handle day-to-day operations, security, and infrastructure. We flex to fit your model.

Can you manage hybrid and multi-cloud environments?
+

Yes. We manage on-premises infrastructure, private cloud (VMware-based), Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365 environments. Our monitoring and security tools extend across all platforms for unified visibility and control.

How is pricing structured?
+

Pricing is per-device per-month, based on your selected tier and the number of endpoints, servers, and network devices under management. There are no hidden fees for onboarding, project management, or standard support requests.

What industries do you serve?
+

We serve a wide range of industries including financial services, healthcare, legal, manufacturing, professional services, and technology companies. Our compliance automation supports HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, NIST, and CMMC frameworks out of the box.

Can managed services integrate with my existing cloud or DR solution?
+

Absolutely. Our managed services integrate directly with IT Vortex cloud hosting, DRaaS, and BaaS platforms. If you're already using our cloud infrastructure, adding managed services creates a unified, single-provider experience across your entire IT stack.
