How managed IT is delivered in Spokane
Spokane is served from Brooklyn, three hours behind us on Pacific time. Monitoring runs 24/7 from Brooklyn, and so does emergency service. Our staffed help-desk hours are 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time (1 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific), seven days a week. The proposal states severe-incident escalation, authorized remediation and any other after-hours work. On-site commitments outside our on-site coverage (New York City, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, North Jersey and Fairfield County, CT) are arranged in advance and sized to the engagement: a mostly remote engagement needs no dedicated on-site engineer, while an engagement that calls for regular presence, such as a standing on-site day or two each week, can include a dedicated engineer with a drive time generally under an hour once availability, location and the visit schedule are confirmed in the proposal. Hardware can ship pre-configured where the project permits remote setup. Confirm landlord access, circuit diversity, cabling and equipment space before approving a network change. Carrier options to check in Spokane include Comcast Business and Quantum Fiber; availability, routing and installation dates must be verified at your address before a failover design is approved.
Who managed IT in Spokane is built for
Businesses we can support in and around Downtown Spokane, the University District, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and Airway Heights include medical practices and specialty clinics on Epic, aerospace and electronics manufacturers on Epicor, banks and insurers on Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, defense contractors and base suppliers on Deltek Costpoint, technology and professional firms on QuickBooks Online, and digital media and marketing agencies on HubSpot. These are examples of business and application needs, not a list of local clients. We coordinate infrastructure, identity and integration with the application vendor, and identify any compliance requirements during discovery. Companies with an internal IT person can agree a split of responsibilities, systems and coverage hours before work begins.
Continuity planning for your Spokane business
Start with the systems your team cannot work without. Record the impact of a building power outage, a failed internet circuit, a compromised account and an unavailable application vendor. Then agree recovery priorities, an independent access path, protected backup copies and a test for each critical workflow. Controls reduce particular risks; they do not guarantee that an incident cannot happen.
Managed IT Services in Spokane: what NetSys delivers
Help desk and monitoring
- Unlimited help desk by phone, email and Teams, staffed by engineers rather than a ticket queue, with severe problems such as ransomware, systems down, no internet or email not working answered immediately by your dedicated engineer
- 24/7 monitoring of every server, workstation and firewall through NinjaOne RMM, with alerts an engineer acts on rather than forwards
- Patching and routine maintenance on the schedule your business sets, weekly for some clients and quarterly for others, with urgent fixes applied as needed in between
- Documentation of the whole environment in IT Glue, so the answer to 'what is that box' exists in writing
Security, built in
- ThreatDown managed detection and response with EDR agents on every device, not just servers
- Microsoft Defender for Business, Entra ID Conditional Access and multifactor authentication across the Microsoft 365 tenant
- Barracuda Email Protection in front of every mailbox, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set correctly
- KnowBe4 security awareness training and simulated phishing for every user, on a recurring schedule
Backups, devices and vendors
- Datto SIRIS or Veeam backups with immutable off-site copies, and live restores run on the schedule in the agreement with the result sent to you
- Intune and Windows Autopilot device management, so a new laptop ships sealed and configures itself at first sign-in
- Vendor management: we deal with the ISP, the line-of-business software vendor and the landlord's building IT
- A quarterly technology review with a written roadmap and budget, run by the engineer who knows your environment
A 22-person financial services firm in Liberty Lake
This planning example shows how we could scope the work. It is not a claim about a customer in this market or a measured result. For published customer work, see our case studies.
A financial services firm in Liberty Lake with 22 staff across the office and remote, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud as a core business application, a file server nobody wants to touch and laptops bought one at a time from a retailer. The previous provider missed a failed backup for four months and nobody noticed until a file was needed. The antivirus came bundled with the hardware, the Wi-Fi password is shared with visitors, and the monthly IT spend is spread across three vendors none of whom is accountable for the whole.
- Discovery on every device, account and vendor contract, documented in IT Glue before anything is changed
- ThreatDown MDR and EDR rolled out to every endpoint, with the console monitored around the clock
- Datto SIRIS appliance installed for the server with immutable cloud copies, and a first restore run and dated within the first month
- Keeper password vault deployed so shared spreadsheets of passwords stop existing
- Quarterly technology review scheduled, with the first written roadmap and budget delivered at the 90-day mark
- Credentials, licenses and documentation collected from the outgoing provider, and what was actually deployed audited against what was being paid for
Day-to-day support moves to engineers with 24/7 monitoring behind them, the security stack is on every device, and the quarterly review keeps the roadmap and the budget in the same conversation. The agreement stays month to month.
Complete managed IT, cybersecurity and help desk for a 20-seat organization
A 20-seat organization handed NetSys the whole of its IT. Devices, network, Microsoft 365 and vendors came under one agreement with 24/7 monitoring and a named account manager; endpoint protection, multifactor authentication, email protection and tested backups went onto all twenty seats; staff got a help desk with engineers on the other end; and every new hire now goes through a defined onboarding process with recurring phishing training. The write-up is limited to the scope delivered, with no outcome figures claimed.

Compliance in Spokane: RCW 19.255.010 and what sits on top of it
Washington’s breach-notification statute (RCW 19.255.010) sets notification duties for qualifying breaches of personal information. If a breach affects more than 500 Washington residents, the Attorney General must also receive notice. Timing, covered information and permitted delays should be assessed against the current statute. The service scope should identify the records, access controls, retention settings and incident evidence your business needs; your legal or compliance adviser determines which requirements apply. The managed agreement can include access reviews, patch reports, backup test results and a written incident response plan, with the evidence and responsibilities agreed in the scope. Discovery identifies missing records and assigns the documentation work. Applicable duties depend on the business, data, exemptions and contracts; your legal or compliance adviser determines which requirements apply.

What managed IT costs in Spokane
Managed IT is priced per user per month for a fully managed agreement, and the number moves with four things more than with headcount: how many servers you run, whether you need after-hours coverage beyond monitoring, how much compliance documentation you carry, and whether we are co-managing alongside an internal person or running everything. We quote from an assessment, not a phone call, and the agreement runs month to month. What belongs in the monthly fee versus what is billed separately is set out on our managed IT pricing page.
Who this fits, and who it does not
Best fit: 10 to 75 employees, one or two offices plus remote staff, already on Microsoft 365 or ready to move there, and either no internal IT or one person who is underwater.
Not a fit: businesses under five people, who are usually better served by the small-office baseline described in our five-person case study, or organizations over 250 seats, which need an internal team we can co-manage with rather than replace.

Managed IT Services in Spokane: FAQs
Is NetSys an IT company that supports businesses in Spokane?
Yes. NetSys is an IT services company that supports Spokane businesses remote-first from its only office, in Brooklyn. Managed IT support, an engineer-led help desk, cybersecurity and IT consulting are available under a single agreement that runs month to month. Windows PCs, Macs, Microsoft 365 and line-of-business applications such as Deltek Costpoint and QuickBooks Online are all supported, and problems on the vendor's side are taken up with the vendor directly. Onboarding starts with an assessment and a written scope, then a staged cutover, typically three to four weeks for a 20-seat office.
Is support in Spokane remote or on-site?
Remote-first. NetSys has one office, in Brooklyn, NY. Spokane is served from Brooklyn, three hours behind us on Pacific time. The help desk, monitoring, security and Microsoft 365 work run remotely, with the help desk staffed seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time (1 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific) and emergency service 24/7, and new hardware can ship pre-configured. Work that needs hands at an office in Liberty Lake or Downtown Spokane, such as hardware swaps, network closet work, new-hire setups and office moves, is a visit arranged in advance. How much on-site time an engagement includes is agreed before it starts: none for a mostly remote account, or a dedicated engineer where regular presence such as a standing on-site day or two each week is part of the scope. A drive time generally under an hour is an option subject to confirming engineer availability and your address. The proposal states the on-site arrangement and any travel in writing.
What does managed IT in Spokane include, and how is it priced?
The monthly fee covers the help desk, 24/7 monitoring, patching, ThreatDown MDR, Microsoft 365 and Intune administration, tested backups and vendor management. The figure comes from an assessment, and it depends less on headcount than on how many servers you run, after-hours needs beyond monitoring, the compliance paperwork you carry and whether an internal IT person stays on. Vendor calls for applications such as HubSpot and Epic are included. Planned visits to Spokane and any travel are quoted in the proposal. Hardware, licensing and projects such as migrations are quoted on their own, and our managed IT pricing page lists what the fee includes.
Do we have to sign a long contract?
No. Every NetSys agreement runs month to month, with no long-term contract and no early-exit penalty. The scope, the responsibilities on each side and the monthly figure are written down before you sign.
Is cybersecurity included or extra?
Included. Endpoint detection and response, multifactor authentication and Conditional Access, email protection, security awareness training and immutable backups are part of every managed agreement. The free external penetration test runs remotely and is limited to the information available to NetSys and the external scope agreed with you. Internal reviews and remediation require a separate scope.
How can IT support help with Washington data-security requirements?
Washington’s breach-notification statute (RCW 19.255.010) sets notification duties for qualifying breaches of personal information. If a breach affects more than 500 Washington residents, the Attorney General must also receive notice. Timing, covered information and permitted delays should be assessed against the current statute. NetSys can help document the relevant systems, controls and incident evidence within an agreed scope; legal notification decisions remain with your authorized business and legal team.
