Co-Managed IT

Your internal team is the reason this works. Co-managed IT isn't a replacement — it's a structural extension. We take on the defined operational functions that consume your team's bandwidth (help desk volume, 24/7 monitoring, patch management, SOC coverage) so your IT leadership can focus on the strategic work they were actually hired to do. Your CIO stays in the driver's seat. We handle the operational layer.

Headcount solves one problem. Co-managed IT solves several at once. A new hire gives you one more person. Partnering with Aurora InfoTech gives your team access to a US-based HIPAA-certified help desk, a 24/7/365 Security Operations Center, structured patch management, compliance documentation, a Technology Enhancement Roadmap, and a dedicated Client Relationship Manager — without the recruiting cost, onboarding time, or single-point-of-failure risk that comes with a single hire.

No. We scope every engagement around your existing environment, tooling, and team structure before anything is activated. There is no standard package imposed on your organization. We define exactly which functions Aurora InfoTech manages versus what stays with your internal team — ownership boundaries, escalation paths, and reporting cadence are all documented and agreed upon before we start.

That's a good position to be in, and we want to help you keep it that way. Most co-managed engagements start precisely because an organization is managing fine today — but the security and compliance landscape has grown more demanding, and leadership wants consistent depth without expanding headcount. The time to put the operational layer in place is before a breach, a compliance gap, or a key staff departure creates a crisis.

None. Your IT leadership retains full ownership and decision-making authority throughout the engagement. Aurora InfoTech executes reliably on the operational functions scoped to us. You receive weekly reports covering work completed, open issues, and asset observations — delivered to your portal every Monday — plus Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews. You always have full visibility into exactly what we're doing and how we're performing.

Yes, and this is one of the areas where co-managed IT provides the most concrete value. Aurora InfoTech's security program is aligned to the CIS Controls framework, which maps directly to HIPAA, CMMC, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. We maintain documented controls evidence, configuration and change detection logs, security awareness training completion records, and incident response plan documentation — structured specifically to support compliance reviews and cyber insurance renewals.

It means your Security Operations Center is monitoring your environment at 3 AM on a Sunday the same way it is at 10 AM on a Tuesday. The SOC runs 24/7/365 independently of your help desk tier. Human analysts monitor for ransomware, business email compromise, credential theft, phishing, infostealers, and lateral movement. When a confirmed threat is detected, containment procedures are initiated immediately. You are not relying on automated alerts alone.

Response time commitments are contractual, not best-effort. We aim for a 30-minute or better response commitment as defined in the service agreement. 98% of calls are answered live during covered hours, with over 75% answered within three rings. Every call is answered by a person. No queue, no bots.

No. Help desk support is available to in-office, remote, and hybrid workers consistently regardless of location. Security monitoring, endpoint protection, and identity threat detection cover your environment across cloud, on-premises, and SaaS systems. Coverage is defined by scope, not by where your people happen to be sitting.

The right starting point is a no-obligation Cybersecurity Strategy Session with our team. You walk away with a clear picture of your current IT and security posture and a set of practical, prioritized recommendations. There is no pressure and no sales pitch. What you do with those recommendations is entirely your choice. Most organizations find that the session alone gives them significant clarity, whether they move forward with us or not.
