Managed IT Services in Pasadena

You pay a flat monthly fee for each user, and the fee depends on the plan: $39.99 for Basic, $49.99 for Professional, or $59.99 for Enterprise. Cybersecurity is built into all three. Hands-on support, when you need a technician to work on something, is $150 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments.

For a sense of scale, take a 20-person firm in Old Pasadena:

• On Basic: about $800 per month.
• On Professional: about $1,000 per month.
• On Enterprise: about $1,200 per month.

Those are the monthly plan fees. Support hours are extra and depend on how much hands-on help your team uses.

Choosing a plan is mostly a question of what you want protected:

• Basic secures email, cloud accounts, and staff. You get Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace backup and recovery, advanced email security, cloud detection and response, security awareness training, phishing simulations, dark web monitoring, a password manager, and a client portal.
• Professional extends that to your computers, with device monitoring and management, patch management, device backup, next-gen antivirus, ransomware detection, and endpoint detection and response.
• Enterprise adds 24/7 managed detection and response on top.

A few commitments keep the cost honest and predictable:

• Free onboarding: There are no setup fees.
• Month-to-month terms: You can cancel anytime.
• Quoted means final: What we quote is what you pay.
• Fixed or no bill: If we can’t solve an issue, you don’t pay for it.

We’ll audit your setup before recommending a plan, and you can start with a free trial if you’d like to see how the service works in your office first.

43 minutes is our average on-site arrival time in Pasadena.

In practice, most requests are finished before a visit would even be scheduled. A technician responds in 14 minutes on average and resolves most issues through a remote session.

An engineer comes to your office when the fix is physical. Common examples:

• Hardware faults: A workstation, server, switch, or firewall that has failed.
• Network jobs: Cabling, Wi-Fi coverage, or installing new equipment.
• New desks or new space: Setting up workstations or a whole office.

We visit offices throughout the city, including Old Pasadena, the Playhouse Village, South Lake Avenue, the Civic Center, East Pasadena, and Hastings Ranch. The 210 and the 134 can back up without warning, so where the problem allows, remote work on it continues while the engineer is in transit.

There’s no difference in the hourly rate between a visit and a remote session. The decision comes down to what gets your team working again soonest.

No. A visit to your Pasadena office and a remote session are charged at one rate: $150 per hour, in 15-minute increments. There’s no premium for the visit itself, wherever you are in the city. If the issue isn’t fixed, there’s no charge for it, and none of this affects your monthly per-user plan fee.

By protecting the places confidential information usually leaks from: email, user accounts, and devices. Pasadena has a lot of firms whose reputation rests on discretion, including law, accounting, financial, and engineering practices, and for them a breach costs trust as well as money.

Email. Advanced email security blocks phishing and account takeover attempts before they reach your staff. That matters because a single convincing message is one of the most common ways into a firm’s files.

Accounts. Cloud detection and response watches your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts for unusual sign-ins and activity. A password manager keeps credentials strong and out of spreadsheets, and dark web monitoring alerts us if a staff member’s login details are exposed.

Devices. On the Professional and Enterprise plans, every computer is patched, monitored, and protected with next-gen antivirus, ransomware detection, and endpoint detection and response. Enterprise adds 24/7 managed detection and response.

People. Security awareness training and phishing simulations help your team recognize an attack. Many incidents start with a person, so this is as important as any tool.

There are also things we do so that you stay in charge of your own data:

• Documentation: You receive a full record of your systems.
• Admin access: You hold complete admin access. Nothing is locked away from you.
• Backups: Cloud data and devices are backed up, so information can be restored after a mistake or an attack.
• In-house support: All support is handled by our own team.

If your industry has specific rules about how client data must be handled, bring them to the audit, and we’ll go through your current setup against them with you.

Your office manager gets their time back, and stops being the person everyone interrupts when a laptop or the Wi-Fi misbehaves.

Here is how the work is usually divided once we start:

• We take the day-to-day support: Staff contact us directly. Our average response time is 14 minutes.
• We take the background work: Monitoring, patching, backups, and security run without anyone in your office managing them.
• We take the planning: You get senior-level guidance on what to replace, upgrade, or budget for.
• Your office manager stays the point of contact: They approve changes, tell us about new hires and leavers, and hear from us when something needs a decision.

Nothing is taken out of your hands. You receive full documentation of your systems and keep complete admin access, so your office manager can see how everything is set up.

The handover starts with an audit, where we write down what exists today. In many small offices that knowledge lives in one person’s head, and getting it on paper is a benefit in itself.

New starters become simpler too. Zero-touch onboarding gets a new employee a secure device and the right access right away.

The main change is that someone is looking after your systems between the breakdowns. Calling for help only when something fails works until the failure is a serious one, such as a ransomware attack, a dead server, or a lost mailbox with no backup behind it.

With a managed service, this is what happens in the background every day:

• Monitoring: Devices are watched for early signs of trouble, so many faults are fixed before they interrupt anyone.
• Patching: Updates are applied for you, closing the security gaps that attackers look for.
• Security: Email security, staff training, and account monitoring are part of every plan. Device protection is included from the Professional plan up.
• Backups: Your cloud data, and on higher plans your devices, are backed up and can be restored.

The way you pay changes as well:

• A predictable base cost: Plans are $39.99 to $59.99 per user per month, so most of your IT spend is known in advance.
• Support when you need it: Hands-on help is still available at $150 per hour, in 15-minute increments, on site or remote.
• No charge for a failed fix: Our policy is fixed or no bill.
• No lock-in: Every plan is month to month.

And you get a team instead of one person. We’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our average response time is 14 minutes, and an engineer reaches a Pasadena office in 43 minutes on average when a visit is needed.

You also end up knowing more about your own systems. We document everything and give you full admin access, which is often missing when a single outside technician has been looking after things for years.

Yes. We support Macs alongside Windows, so a Pasadena office with a mix of both is covered by one team and one plan. We also manage Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, whichever computers your staff use. Tell us what you have during the audit and we’ll confirm the right plan for your devices.
