How Tampa Bay is served
Joe Laboy, a NetSys systems engineer and cybersecurity expert, heads our Florida operations. Tampa Bay is served remote-first: support, monitoring, security and Microsoft 365 work are delivered remotely from our Brooklyn office, and on-site visits for buildouts, refreshes or moves are arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal rather than promised loosely.
Hurricane season is a disaster recovery deadline
Tampa Bay businesses plan around a season, not a hypothetical. Our disaster recovery work is built for exactly that calendar: immutable off-site backups, recovery plans written down and rehearsed before June, and cloud failover for the systems a storm cannot be allowed to take with it. One of our published case studies began with a client who learned this the hard way — an extreme weather event cut them off from their own on-prem systems — and ended with a cloud environment weather cannot reach.
Built for Tampa Bay's mix
Medical and dental practices, law firms, hospitality groups, distributors moving goods through the port — Tampa Bay's business mix maps directly onto our industry depth, including HIPAA-certified engineering for healthcare and the restaurant-group and importer work in our case studies. The security stack is the same layered defense behind our 100% ransomware recovery record.

A 25-person specialty practice in St. Petersburg
The specific engagements behind this profile are under NDA, so it is written as a generalization rather than a named client. Our published, client-approved outcomes are in case studies.
An on-prem practice server one storm surge away from being a story, backups that have never been restored, staff sharing a login to the imaging system, and a hurricane plan that amounts to 'unplug it and hope.'
- Remote discovery and a prioritized fix list, timed to land before hurricane season
- Practice systems migrated to a managed cloud environment with immutable backups and a tested restore
- A written hurricane playbook: what fails over, what shuts down, who calls whom, rehearsed once before June
- Attributable logins and multifactor across clinical systems
- 24/7 monitoring and emergency service, so something that breaks at 2 a.m. reaches a real engineer
The practice's records become storm-proof and provably restorable, the team knows exactly what happens when a warning is issued, and support runs month to month with Florida operations behind it.

NetSys vs. BCA IT
BCA IT competes for IT services in Tampa Bay. Their column below is drawn from their own published pages and links to each source. Ours states what we publish. Put the same questions to both.

Leave any time, no early-exit penalty. | They publish a Scope/Description of Services page for their TOTALCare IT program that defines included tasks, a maintenance window of 11PM to 4AM Sunday through Saturday, and exclusions covering projects, line-of-business applications including ERP, accounting and CRM, re-configuration, end-user training, and end-of-life equipment or software; the page refers to an Exhibit B under the TOTALCare service agreement for further terms.

Tampa Bay FAQs
Does NetSys actually operate in Florida?
Yes. Our Florida operations are headed by Joe Laboy, a NetSys systems engineer and cybersecurity expert. Tampa Bay, like Southwest Florida, is served remote-first: support, monitoring, security and Microsoft 365 work are delivered remotely from our Brooklyn office, and on-site visits are arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal.
Can you handle hurricane-season disaster recovery?
It is one of our specialities: immutable off-site backups, cloud failover for systems a storm cannot take down, and recovery plans that get rehearsed before the season rather than improvised during it. Our published hurricane-season checklist and importer case study show the approach.
Do you support Tampa Bay healthcare practices?
Yes — healthcare is one of our deepest practices, with HIPAA-certified engineering on staff and a published seven-location medical case study. Storm-exposed patient records are exactly the problem our tested-restore discipline exists for.
What is delivered remotely versus on-site?
Monitoring, helpdesk, security operations, Microsoft 365 and cloud management, and backup verification run remotely from our Brooklyn office. Monitoring and emergency service run 24/7, and the help desk is staffed seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time. On-site projects, such as buildouts, refreshes and moves, are arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal.
Do Tampa Bay clients sign long contracts?
No. Every NetSys agreement is month to month, in Florida as everywhere else. We keep clients by performing — our retention runs 98% — not by locking them in.
How much do IT services cost for a Tampa business?
IT services for a Tampa business are priced per user per month; we publish no rate card. Headcount, devices and servers, HIPAA or PCI scope, the disaster recovery design and any on-site project work set the figure. Projects are quoted separately, and every agreement runs month to month.
How quickly can you respond to a Tampa Bay business?
Remote response follows the table on our managed IT services page, and most problems are solved remotely. Tampa Bay is served remote-first, so on-site visits are arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal, which states what a visit involves before you sign rather than after something breaks.
Does Florida's data breach law apply to Tampa businesses?
Yes, if you hold personal information about Floridians. Fla. Stat. §501.171 requires reasonable measures to protect it, notice to affected individuals within 30 days of determining a breach, and notice to the Department of Legal Affairs when 500 or more Floridians are affected. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can a Tampa business buy IT support, managed IT or IT consulting separately?
Yes. IT services is the umbrella, and each part can be bought on its own. Our Tampa pages for managed IT services, IT support, IT consulting and cybersecurity describe each scope, and a business can start with a consulting project or a security assessment before moving to a managed agreement.
Is NetSys an IT company with a Tampa office?
No. Our only office is in Brooklyn, at 1 Prospect Park SW, Suite 6E, with a main line of 845-203-3914. Florida operations are headed by systems engineer Joe Laboy, and Tampa Bay, like Southwest Florida, is served remote-first, with on-site visits arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal.
