Your IT Team + Ours. Better Together.
Guardian Co-Managed IT is for businesses that have internal IT staff but need more coverage, more security, and more strategic support than one team can provide alone. We don't replace your people — we make them more effective.
Schedule Your Co-Managed AssessmentWhat You Get
All the tools and support your internal team needs — without the overhead of building it all yourself.
Collaborative Partnership
We work alongside your internal IT staff — filling gaps, extending capacity, and providing expertise without replacing your team.
24/7 Monitoring & Escalation
Round-the-clock monitoring with intelligent escalation — routine alerts handled by us, critical issues flagged to your team immediately.
Security Stack Management
We deploy and manage the same enterprise-grade security tools used in Guardian Fundamentals — EDR, zero-trust controls, and 24/7 MDR.
Overflow Help Desk
When your internal team is swamped, tickets overflow to our help desk. Your users get fast support without overloading your staff.
Managed Detection & Response
24/7 human-monitored threat detection working in parallel with your internal team — an extra layer of security you can't staff alone.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated cloud backup and business continuity management — so your team can focus on projects, not backup jobs.
Patch Management
Automated, tested patch deployment across all endpoints — one less thing your IT team has to track manually.
vCIO Strategic Support
Annual technology business reviews and roadmapping that complement your internal IT leadership with outside perspective. Co-Managed clients can opt into a quarterly cadence when scope warrants.
