What is Managed IT?

Most businesses call someone when something breaks, pay the bill, and hope it doesn’t happen again. The problem is simple: the person fixing your problems has no reason to prevent them. Every broken computer, every crashed server — that’s how they get paid.

Managed IT flips that model. One flat monthly rate covers everything — we monitor your systems around the clock, catch problems before they affect your business, and are there when you need support. More importantly, we make sure your business stays protected against cyber threats and remains in compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements your industry demands. You stop reacting to IT emergencies. We make sure most of them never happen.

Choose Your Plan

Every plan includes 24/7 monitoring, weekday support, and a flat monthly rate with no surprise invoices. The right tier depends on your industry, your compliance requirements, and how much risk your business can afford to carry. Not sure where to start? The Free Assessment will tell you exactly where you stand.

SILVER

Foundation/Transition

“Get off break-fix. Get protected. Get stable.”

Silver is built for businesses that are currently on a break-fix arrangement, working with an underperforming provider, or running without any proactive IT support at all. It establishes the foundation every business needs: 24/7 monitoring, fast response, structured maintenance, and a trusted partner who actually picks up the phone — and it’s the tier most often chosen by smaller offices that want stability and visibility before stepping into advanced cybersecurity or compliance work.

Best for:

Smaller professional offices and growing teams — typically up to 20 employees — that want proactive monitoring, fast issue resolution, and a dependable IT partner before layering on advanced security.

Silver is often chosen by businesses moving away from break-fix IT — teams that need stability, visibility, and dependable day-to-day support without overcomplicating the transition.

GOLD

Cybersecurity

“Everything in Silver, plus real cybersecurity — not just the basics.”

Gold is designed for businesses that handle sensitive client or patient data and need to significantly reduce their cybersecurity risk. It adds a serious layer of threat detection, data protection, and identity security on top of the Silver foundation — and it's the tier most often chosen by firms that want to demonstrate a mature security posture to their insurers, clients, and partners.

Best for:

Growing organizations that need proactive threat detection, stronger data protection, identity security, and documented security controls — but do not yet require full compliance alignment.

Gold is often chosen by firms that want to prevent incidents rather than react to them — and demonstrate a mature, documented security posture to their clients, insurers, and partners.

PLATINUM

Compliance

“Everything in Gold, plus the compliance layer regulated businesses can't afford to skip.”

Platinum is built for businesses where IT failure is not just an operational problem — it’s a regulatory, legal, or reputational event. CPA firms, credit unions, financial institutions, and healthcare practices need more than good technology. They need documentation, accountability, audit-readiness, and a partner who understands the specific compliance frameworks they operate under — and Platinum is the tier built to deliver all of it without gaps.

Best for:

Regulated businesses — CPA firms, credit unions, financial institutions, and healthcare practices — that must meet HIPAA, NCUA, IRS WISP, GLBA, or cyber insurance requirements and need to be audit-ready at any time.

Platinum is chosen by regulated firms that cannot afford gaps in their protection — and want continuous oversight, compliance-aligned controls, and the highest level of service assurance available.

Client Testimonials

Eric Wong Accounting Firm Owner

My old IT setup was basically — something breaks, I call someone, I pay whatever they say it costs. No monitoring, no documentation, nothing proactive. I didn’t realize how exposed I was until SteadITech did an initial assessment and showed me. Now I have monthly reports I can read, a real backup I’ve seen tested, and one flat rate instead of surprise invoices. Should’ve done it years ago.

Robert Smith CEO, Community Credit Union

For years my IT guy showed up when something broke, charged me to fix it, and disappeared until the next problem. I just thought that was how IT worked. Then it clicked, he had zero incentive to prevent anything. Problems were how he got paid. With SteadITech, issues get handled before I even know there’s one. I haven’t had a real IT emergency in over a year. I genuinely didn’t know that was possible.

Top #10 Frequently Asked Questions

Managed IT means we take responsibility for keeping your technology running, secure, and up to date — proactively, not just when something breaks. That includes monitoring your computers, servers, and network 24/7, handling software updates and security patches, managing your users when people join or leave your team, protecting you against cyber threats, and being there when something goes wrong. Everything is covered under one flat monthly rate. No surprise bills, no hourly charges for routine work.

The break-fix model — paying someone by the hour when things go wrong — means your IT person has no financial reason to prevent problems. Every broken computer and crashed server is how they get paid. With SteadITech, we profit when your systems run smoothly, not when they fail. That changes everything about how we approach your technology. We monitor it constantly, catch issues before they affect you, and keep your systems in a state where emergencies are rare — not routine.

Yes — and switching is more common than you might think. Most businesses that come to us have an existing IT arrangement that either isn't working, isn't documented, or has left them in a position where they don't actually know what they have. Our onboarding process is designed specifically for this situation. We do a full assessment of your current environment, document everything — every system, every vendor, every login — and hand that documentation to you. It belongs to you, not us. From there, we handle the transition at whatever pace makes sense for your business, with no disruption to your daily operations.

Every plan includes the option to add after - hours and weekend support. For critical issues — anything that's stopping your business from operating — we offer emergency response outside of standard hours. Platinum clients get the lowest after-hours rates and the shortest minimum commitment for on-site visits. If your business ever needs coverage on holidays, that's available as an add-on across all tiers.

For any Severity Level 1 issue — meaning something critical that's affecting your ability to work — we acknowledge your ticket within 15 minutes, on all three plans. From there, our goal is resolution, not just acknowledgment. Gold and Platinum clients have priority escalation paths, and Platinum clients have a dedicated account manager who already knows their environment.

Yes — and this is one of the areas where SteadITech is built differently from most IT providers. Compliance support is woven into our service stack, not treated as an add-on. CPA firms need a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) to satisfy IRS requirements. Credit unions face NCUA examinations. Healthcare practices operate under HIPAA. Financial institutions answer to Gramm-Leach-Bliley and state regulators. Our Gold plan addresses cybersecurity compliance foundations, and our Platinum plan is specifically designed for businesses in regulated industries that need ongoing documentation, audit preparation, and compliance advisory support.

Silver is the right starting point if you're currently on a break-fix arrangement and want to get stable — protected, monitored, and out of the cycle of surprise bills. Gold is the right fit if your business handles sensitive data and needs a stronger cybersecurity posture, including advanced threat detection and backup systems that actually work. Platinum is built for businesses in regulated industries — CPA firms, credit unions, financial institutions, and healthcare practices — that need full compliance documentation, employee security training, and a dedicated partner who knows their environment inside and out. Not sure? A Free Assessment will tell you exactly where you stand.

It's a no - cost, no - obligation review of your current IT setup. We look at your devices, your network, your backup situation, your security posture, and any compliance requirements relevant to your industry. At the end, you get a plain - English summary of what's working, what's at risk, and what we'd recommend — whether or not you decide to move forward with SteadITech. There's no pressure and no sales pitch. Just an honest look at where your business stands.

Most IT companies will tell you they're responsive, reliable, and care about their clients. We'd rather show you. Dustin built SteadITech after spending 21 years inside some of the most demanding IT environments in the country — Toyo Tires, Hyundai Capital, EA Games, Optum Healthcare, Southern California Edison. He saw firsthand how large organizations protect their systems, and he built SteadITech to bring that same standard to small businesses that have never had access to it. That's not a marketing line — it's the reason the company exists. Beyond the background, we operate on a simple principle: we document everything, we tell you the truth, and we're still here when things get hard.

Every plan includes four hours of on - site support per month. If you need more, additional hours are available at a per - hour rate that decreases as you move up the tiers — Platinum clients pay the lowest overage rate and have a shorter minimum for on - site visits. If you find yourself consistently needing more on - site time than your current plan covers, we'll talk about whether a different tier makes more sense for your business.
