Frequently asked questions
What is co-managed IT?
Co-managed IT shares responsibility between your existing IT person and an external specialist. You keep internal knowledge and everyday help while adding expertise for an agreed security scope.
How does co-managed IT work?
We agree responsibilities, access, maintenance windows and escalation contacts. Your person handles day-to-day requests; Top Rank maintains the agreed firewall, security, monitoring, patching and backup layer.
What's included in co-managed IT services?
The agreed services can include firewall and VPN management, MFA and access reviews, patching, backup verification and restore testing, automated monitoring and alerting, vulnerability scans and reporting.
Co-managed IT vs fully managed IT — what's the difference?
Co-managed IT keeps your internal IT person involved and splits duties. Fully managed IT assigns a broader agreed set of duties to a provider. Top Rank's specialist scope does not imply a staffed help desk or management of every IT task.
How much does co-managed IT cost?
Pricing can be per user, per device, a flat monthly scope or project-based. Sites, systems, security risk, access and the split of responsibilities affect the quote. Book a free discovery call.
