Solution
The Co-IT Lifecycle
A proven collaboration model—refined with dozens of internal IT teams
We don’t just drop in extra hands. Our four-phase framework is the result of a decade of co-managing IT with fast-growth companies like yours.
01
Align & Plan
Kickoff workshop; shared RACI (who does what), escalation paths, change windows, 90-day priorities
02
Integrate & Deploy
We provide you with ticketing and alert systems, shared queues & documentation channels
03
Collaborate & Execute
Joint support, co-managed projects (Microsoft 365, Entra ID/Azure AD, Intune, Azure/AVD), incident response, after-hours maintenance
04
Optimize & Scale
Monthly scorecards, vCIO/TAM reviews, capacity & cost planning, roadmap execution
We apply our SSM™ baselines (Stabilize → Standardize → Modernize) across backups, MFA/Conditional Access, Intune/Device posture, Microsoft Defender, and AVD so joint work is predictable, secure, and fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need both vulnerability assessments and a penetration test?

Yes—vuln assessments find known weaknesses continuously; pentests prove exploitability and validate detective/response controls (annually or after major changes).

Will this slow down our team?

We design security to be usable—sensible Conditional Access, and device baselines that don’t fight daily work.

Can you help us pass audits?

We map controls and evidence to frameworks like HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST-aligned practices, and through our vCISO service can provide board-level reporting and summaries.

Who responds if something happens at 2 a.m.?

Our 24/7 SOC triages and isolates endpoints; we coordinate IR and restoration steps per your runbook.

Still have questions?

We have a dedicated team who can help you to clear your doubts.
