FAQ
Common questions
What is a managed service provider (MSP)?
A managed service provider is an outsourced IT and cybersecurity partner that proactively monitors, maintains, secures, and supports your technology for a predictable monthly fee. You get an enterprise-grade IT department without the cost of building one in-house.
How quickly can you respond when something breaks?
Automated monitoring watches your systems around the clock and alerts us to issues. Many problems are caught and resolved before they ever affect you. Our support team responds quickly during business hours, and we work with you to set clear expectations for urgent and after-hours situations.
What areas do you serve?
Rock Hill is our home base, but we are not limited to it. We provide hands-on, on-site support throughout Rock Hill, the greater Charlotte metro, and the surrounding communities across both Carolinas. For clients beyond the region, we deliver the same fully managed IT and security services entirely remotely, including organizations across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Can you help us meet compliance requirements like HIPAA or SOC 2?
Absolutely. Our compliance and vCISO services help you map to HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and CMMC, including risk assessments, policy development, and audit preparation.
Do you offer pay-as-you-go (break-fix) support, or only managed plans?
Both. We recommend a managed plan for most businesses because it prevents problems and keeps costs predictable. But we also offer break-fix, on-demand support for one-off issues and projects, with no monthly commitment. We'll help you choose the model that genuinely fits.
Can you build custom AI tools for my business?
Yes. We design and build custom AI assistants, chatbots, and automations, and we integrate LLMs (like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Azure AI) with your existing systems and data. Everything is deployed securely, with clear data governance, so you get practical AI that actually helps your team.
Can you security test an AI app we already built?
Yes. Our AI penetration testing service is hands-on testing by real security experts, not an automated scan. We probe your custom AI for prompt injection, jailbreaks, sensitive data leakage, and unsafe agent behavior, aligned with the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications, then give you a clear findings report with fixes.
What does it cost to get started?
Your initial assessment is free. After we understand your setup, we provide a clear proposal: a flat-rate monthly plan for managed services, or hourly and project pricing for break-fix work, with no hidden fees.
