A managed service provider (MSP) can be an invaluable tool for small-medium sized businesses (SMBs). An MSP is at its best when it is reducing or shouldering the IT and security workload of its client and making sure they can focus on running the business without having to worry about how their data is protected. CorpInfoTech is an MSP that provides enterprise level cybersecurity and IT solutions to SMBs. We offer firewall management, vulnerability management, security assessments, compliance aid, and more to ensure your organization is protected. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of enlisting an MSP and whether fully managed/co managed services are for you.
Benefits of an MSP
One of the biggest reasons that cybersecurity falls by the wayside for SMBs is due to cost. Many smaller organizations cannot afford to implement the necessary security practices to completely secure their businesses. MSPs are able to provide resources that would be otherwise unaffordable to an SMB. Organizations will also be given access to a full IT staff which they may not have had access to previously. MSPs can also help boost efficiency and productivity by allowing your business to focus less on IT and security and more on the processes that make you money. Proactive and quick response times also ensure that when problems arise, they are quickly solved.
Co-Managed vs Fully Managed
Managed services aren't a one size fits all model, and a quality MSP will tailor their services to the client's unique business needs. For many organizations, a fully managed service model may be the most valuable option. This model ensures proactive and comprehensive security and control over all of the devices and technology your business relies on. Having an MSP fully manage your entire IT and security infrastructure reduces the workload of your existing staff and allows you to focus your resources elsewhere knowing that your data is protected. With a fully managed MSP, your organization will have access to an entire IT staff with the expertise, knowledge, and resources to effectively handle your IT security needs. 24x7 monitoring, IT support, backups, and incident response are all valuable solutions an MSP can provide in their entirety.
For organizations with their own IT staff, a co-managed solution may be an equally effective alternative. Co-managed IT security services seek to come alongside an organization preexisting staff and offer support and expertise where it's needed. This allows businesses to choose what tasks to outsource to their MSP and which ones can remain internal. A co-managed solution will reduce the workload of the existing IT staff and offer them the flexibility to focus on higher impact areas. This model also helps fill any knowledge or resource gaps that may exist in an SMB.
