IT Support in Eastlake, OH
Eastlake has a working industrial base behind its lakefront neighborhoods, and one of the manufacturers we support is here.
IT Needs We See in Eastlake
Machine shops and parts makers
Many businesses here make or machine parts for larger companies. The office handles quoting and invoicing, and the shop runs equipment that can't wait on a slow network. We support manufacturers on both sides of that line.
Separating the office from the shop floor
In many of these buildings the office and the production floor share one flat network. Separating them is usually the first cybersecurity work we do, so a problem on one side can't reach the other.
Backups kept off the network
A backup drive plugged into the same server protects against a failed disk and little else. We keep copies apart from the network and test that they restore.
Requirements passed down by customers
When a larger customer adds security terms to its supplier agreements, a small shop has to meet them with the staff it has. We work through the requirements with you and put the missing controls in place, starting with a security risk assessment.
On-Site and Remote IT Support
Most support happens remotely. Monitoring, patching, backups and most service desk requests are handled without a visit, which gets your staff working again sooner.
When a job needs someone in the building, such as an installation, a hardware failure, a cabling job or a wireless survey, we schedule a visit with a named technician. Eastlake is part of the area we cover on site in Lake County, from our Lake County office in Painesville.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with older machines on the shop floor?
Yes. Older machines usually stay as they are, so we protect them from the outside with their own network segment and backups of the PCs that run them. When a problem crosses into the machine itself, we work with the vendor that supports it.
We are a small shop. Is managed IT worth it at our size?
Often, yes, because a small shop usually has nobody whose job it is. One monthly agreement covers monitoring, patching, backups and the service desk, so problems get handled before they stop production. See managed IT services for the full scope.
Can you help with a customer security questionnaire?
Yes. We answer it with you based on what's true today, then give you a short list of fixes for any answer you'd rather change.
