01Overview
Managed IT built for Rockford businesses
Rockford is a manufacturing city first: aerospace component suppliers, machine shops, fasteners, packaging and the logistics businesses around the airport and the UPS hub, with the medical practices of two large health systems and the law, accounting and engineering firms that serve all of them. Most run production and office systems on one network, with nobody whose whole job is IT. We run the whole thing remotely, with a US-based specialist answering in about a minute, and send an engineer up I-90 from our Chicago office when a job needs hands.
The Rockford market
Plants and shops along the Rock River and in the industrial parks of Loves Park and Machesney Park, offices downtown and on the east side, and the logistics operations around the airport. Shop-floor machines and front-office PCs share a network that has to be segmented.
Aerospace customers that audit their suppliers
Supplying the aerospace primes means quality-system requirements and, for defense work, NIST 800-171 and CMMC. We implement the controls, write the documentation and keep the evidence ready for the next audit.
Support that does not depend on one person
Your people call one number and a live specialist picks up, not a queue. Most issues are fixed remotely on the same call. When equipment needs hands, an engineer drives up from Chicago, about 90 miles down I-90.
Winter storms, flooding and the restore nobody tested
The Rock River floods and the winters close roads. We back up on site and to the cloud, test restores and plan so a closed plant office does not mean a closed business.

03Challenges
IT challenges we solve for Rockford businesses
The things that bring a Rockford company to us, and what we do about each one.
Production machines and office PCs on one flat network
How we handle itNetwork InfrastructureA ransomware infection on a front-office PC should never reach the line. We segment the network, monitor the critical machines and keep the office side secure.
NIST 800-171 and CMMC for aerospace and defense suppliers
How we handle itCompliance as a ServicePrime contractors are now asking every supplier for proof. We implement the controls, write the System Security Plan and plan of action, and keep the evidence ready for assessment.
Phishing, ransomware and the insurance renewal
How we handle itCybersecurity ProtectionCyber insurers now ask for MFA, endpoint detection and tested backups before they quote. We put the controls in and document them.
Backups nobody has ever restored
How we handle itBackup and Disaster RecoveryA backup that has not been tested is a hope, not a plan. We back up on site and to the cloud, monitor every job nightly and run restore tests so you know the hours you would lose.
One overloaded IT person, or none
How we handle itManaged IT ServicesThe office manager is the help desk and the server lives in a closet. We give you a full team for less than one hire, and keep your current IT person if you have one.
Hybrid teams on half-finished Microsoft 365
How we handle itCloud and Remote WorkLicences are in place but permissions, sharing and backups never got finished. We clean it up so the plant, the office and the home office work from one secure copy of everything.

07Security and compliance
Security built in, with the paperwork to prove it
Multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, email filtering, patched systems, tested backups and staff training are part of every managed plan, not an upsell. We document each control so an insurer, an auditor or a client questionnaire gets evidence, not promises.
