Your internal IT person or team cannot be on vacation and on call at the same time, and the security work is what slips. Ghosxt, run by an engineer with DoD infrastructure experience, provides co-managed IT for small businesses across Monterey County and surrounding areas: working alongside your team, covering the gaps and the security and compliance depth, scoped to the role we play, with transparent pricing agreed upfront.
Scoped to the role we play, transparent pricing, agreed upfront.
You already have IT (maybe one stretched-thin person, maybe a small team) and they are good. They are also the only one who knows how everything works, cannot take a real vacation, and do not have time to become a cybersecurity specialist on top of everything else. Co-managed IT fixes that. Ghosxt works alongside your team, covering the gaps, providing after-hours help on request, and the security and compliance depth, so your internal IT gets stronger, not replaced.
Co-managed IT is a partnership, not a takeover. Your internal IT person or team stays in place and stays in charge of what they do best: the institutional knowledge, the relationships, the line-of-business apps they know inside out. We slot in around them to handle the things that quietly burn them out: the overflow tickets, the 2 a.m. alerts, the security stack they never have time to build, and the big projects that need a second pair of expert hands.
The result is a business that no longer depends on one person never getting sick, never quitting, and never going on vacation, while that person finally gets the backup, the tooling, and the specialist support to do their job well.
Pick the gaps that hurt most. Co-managed IT is modular: we take on exactly the role your team needs, and nothing they would rather keep.
When your IT person is buried, tickets still get answered. Ghosxt absorbs the day-to-day volume directly: password resets, new-hire setups, the everyday questions, so your internal team can focus on the work only they can do.
When your IT person needs to unplug for a night, a weekend, or a real vacation, after-hours help from a real engineer is available on request. Your single IT person stops being a single point of failure without the business going dark.
An engineer with DoD infrastructure experience adds the managed detection and response, identity hardening, cloud backup, and HIPAA, CMMC, PCI, and cyber-insurance documentation that a busy generalist team rarely has the time or specialization to build. See cybersecurity.
Bring your team the same monitoring, patching, and remote-management stack we run for fully managed clients, without you buying, integrating, and maintaining it. Your IT person works with better tools overnight.
A Microsoft 365 migration, an office move, a server refresh, a backup and DR rebuild: we supply the extra hands and expertise for the big push, then hand the keys back to your team.
We document the environment properly and bring vCIO-level planning (budgets, roadmaps, risk) so your internal team is set up to succeed instead of firefighting blind.
30 minutes with a senior engineer. We map what your internal team owns, where the single points of failure and security gaps are, and exactly where we would plug in, with a clear split of responsibilities, whether or not you hire us.
Book your free assessmentIf your IT runs on one person who cannot take a vacation without anxiety, you have a single point of failure that one resignation or illness turns into a crisis. If your team is technical but stretched too thin to keep up with patching, security, and projects at once, things are slipping that you cannot see yet. If a cyber-insurer or a big customer is now demanding controls and documentation your team has not had time to build, the clock is already running.
If any of that sounds familiar, co-managed IT gives you enterprise-grade depth and 24/7 security monitoring without firing anyone or rebuilding from scratch: you keep your people and add a senior engineer behind them.
Co-managed IT draws on the same capabilities we run for fully managed clients (help desk, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 and cloud, backup and disaster recovery, and vCIO strategy) applied to whichever pieces your team wants to share. As your needs change, the split can change with them.
