A Cybersecurity-First Approach to IT Management
Most businesses in Costa Rica face the same technology dilemma: you need enterprise-grade IT infrastructure, but you can't justify the cost of a full internal IT team. The result is usually a patchwork — one person who "knows computers," a handful of cloud subscriptions nobody fully manages, network equipment installed years ago and never updated, and no plan for what happens when something breaks.
We replace that patchwork with a structured, professionally managed IT environment. Our team designs, implements, and manages your technology infrastructure — from cloud platforms and network architecture to endpoints and user support — so your people can focus on the work they were hired to do, not on troubleshooting connectivity issues or resetting passwords.
What makes us different from a typical IT support provider is where we come from: cybersecurity. Every infrastructure decision we make — from how we configure your cloud environment to how we segment your network — is informed by a security-first mindset backed by CCDE, CCNP Security, CCNP Enterprise, and TOGAF certifications. Your IT doesn't just work. It works securely.
Infrastructure Design & Management
Whether you're setting up a new office, expanding to additional locations, or redesigning an infrastructure that has grown organically over years — we design IT environments that are reliable, scalable, and secure from the ground up. Our CCDE and TOGAF certifications mean your infrastructure is designed with enterprise architecture methodology, not guesswork.
What's included
- Site surveys and infrastructure assessment for existing environments
- Network architecture design (LAN, WLAN, WAN) using structured methodology
- Server infrastructure planning — on-premises, cloud, or hybrid
- Cabling, rack, and power planning for physical environments
- Documentation: network diagrams, IP schemas, equipment inventories
- Implementation project management and vendor coordination
- Ongoing infrastructure monitoring and management
Cloud Strategy & Migration
Costa Rica's public cloud market is growing from $390 million to nearly $1 billion by 2029. Whether you're moving to Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, or Google Workspace — or optimizing a cloud environment you've already adopted — we help you make the right decisions about what to move, when to move it, and how to keep it secure and cost-effective once it's there.
What's included
- Cloud readiness assessment — workloads, data, compliance requirements
- Platform evaluation and recommendation (Microsoft 365/Azure, AWS, Google Workspace)
- Migration planning and execution with minimal business disruption
- Hybrid cloud architecture for organizations that need both on-premises and cloud
- Cloud security configuration — identity management, access controls, encryption
- Cost optimization and monitoring — preventing cloud sprawl and unexpected bills
- Ley 8968 compliance review for data stored in international cloud regions
Network Design & Security
A properly designed network is the foundation of everything else — your cloud services, your security, your users' productivity. Our team holds CCDE, CCNP Security, and CCNP Enterprise certifications — qualifications that exist specifically to validate expertise in designing and securing complex network environments. We design networks that perform reliably, scale with your business, and resist the threats that Costa Rican organizations face daily.
What's included
- Network architecture design: switching, routing, wireless, and WAN
- Network segmentation and zero-trust architecture implementation
- Firewall configuration and optimization (Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point)
- Wi-Fi design and deployment — office, warehouse, hospitality, multi-site
- VPN and secure remote access for distributed teams
- Network performance monitoring and troubleshooting
- Regular security reviews and configuration audits
IT Support & Helpdesk
When your team has a technology problem, they need help fast — not a ticket that sits in a queue for two days. We provide responsive IT support through multiple channels, with clear response time commitments based on issue severity. Every support interaction is documented, tracked, and used to identify recurring issues that should be resolved permanently rather than repeatedly.
What's included
- Multi-channel support: phone, email, WhatsApp, remote access
- Tiered response times: Critical (30 min), High (2 hrs), Medium (4 hrs), Standard (next business day)
- Remote and on-site support within the Greater Metropolitan Area
- User onboarding and offboarding — account creation, device setup, access provisioning
- Password resets, software installation, and common issue resolution
- Monthly support reports with ticket trends and resolution metrics
- Knowledge base development for common issues your team can resolve independently
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
The 2022 ransomware attack on Costa Rica's government demonstrated what happens when organizations don't have a recovery plan. The 2024 power outages caused by El Niño drought — with scheduled 3-hour blackouts across the country — showed that business continuity isn't just about cyberattacks. We help organizations prepare for everything: ransomware, natural disasters, power failures, hardware failure, and human error.
What's included
- Business impact analysis — identifying your critical systems and acceptable downtime
- Backup strategy design: local, cloud, and hybrid with immutable backup options
- Disaster recovery plan development and documentation
- Recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) definition
- Regular backup testing and recovery drills — a plan that isn't tested isn't a plan
- Ransomware-specific recovery procedures
- UPS and generator planning guidance for power grid vulnerability
Vendor Management & Procurement Advisory
Managing multiple technology vendors — ISPs, software licenses, hardware suppliers, cloud providers — is a full-time job that most businesses don't have bandwidth for. We serve as your single point of accountability for vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and procurement decisions. Because we don't resell products, our recommendations are based solely on what works best for your organization.
What's included
- Vendor evaluation and selection for hardware, software, and services
- Contract review and negotiation support
- License management and optimization — identifying unused or duplicate licenses
- ISP evaluation and SLA monitoring (Kolbi/ICE, Liberty, Tigo, Metrocom, Telecable)
- Renewal management and cost optimization
- Vendor performance tracking and escalation
IT Strategy & Roadmap Consulting
Technology decisions shouldn't be made in isolation. They should align with your business strategy, your growth plans, and your budget constraints. We provide virtual CIO (vCIO) advisory services that give your leadership team a technology advisor who understands both the technical landscape and the business context — without the cost of a full-time executive.
What's included
- Technology assessment and maturity evaluation
- IT strategic roadmap aligned to business objectives — 12, 24, and 36-month horizons
- Budget planning and investment prioritization
- Technology due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, or expansions
- Board and executive reporting on technology posture and initiatives
- Quarterly business reviews with updated recommendations
- Digital transformation advisory
Endpoint Management & Security
Your employees' laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones are both their primary work tools and your most exposed attack surface. With Costa Rica's Ley 9738 formalizing telework obligations — including employer responsibility for technology and data protection — managing endpoints has become a legal and security requirement, not just a convenience. We deploy and manage unified endpoint management solutions that keep devices secure, compliant, and productive.
What's included
- Endpoint management platform deployment and configuration (Scalefusion, Jamf, ManageEngine)
- Device enrollment — zero-touch deployment for new devices
- Patch management: automated OS and application updates
- Security policy enforcement: encryption, screen lock, password requirements
- Application management: approved software deployment and restriction
- BYOD policy development and implementation
- Remote wipe capability for lost or stolen devices
- Ley 9738 telework compliance support
Monitoring, Alerting & Reporting
You shouldn't learn about IT problems from your employees complaining. Proactive monitoring means we detect issues — a failing hard drive, an overloaded server, a network bottleneck, an expiring certificate — before they impact your operations. We deploy monitoring across your infrastructure and provide regular reports that translate technical data into business-relevant insights.
What's included
- 24/7 infrastructure monitoring: servers, network devices, cloud services, endpoints
- Automated alerting with severity-based escalation
- Network performance monitoring and traffic analysis
- Cloud resource utilization monitoring and cost alerting
- Monthly executive reports: uptime, incidents, trends, recommendations
- SLA compliance tracking and reporting
- Capacity planning based on usage trends

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you require long-term contracts?
Managed IT agreements are typically structured on 12-month terms to allow proper onboarding, documentation, and stabilization. However, we also offer month-to-month engagements after the initial term and project-based work with no ongoing commitment. We'd rather earn your continued business through results than lock you into a contract.
What does onboarding look like for a new managed IT client?
The first 30 days focus on documentation and stabilization: we inventory your entire environment, deploy monitoring tools, document your network, identify immediate risks, and establish support procedures. By day 60, proactive management is fully operational. By day 90, we deliver your first strategic review with recommendations. We manage the transition carefully — your team experiences improved support, not disruption.
Can you support remote and hybrid workers?
Yes. With Costa Rica's telework law (Ley 9738) formalizing employer obligations for remote technology and data protection, this is a core capability. We deploy endpoint management, secure remote access (VPN or zero-trust), cloud collaboration tools, and monitoring that works regardless of where your team is located — in the office, at home, or anywhere in between.
How do you handle after-hours emergencies?
Critical issues — system outages, security incidents, complete loss of service — receive immediate response regardless of time. Our monitoring systems detect most critical issues automatically, often before your team notices. For managed IT clients, emergency support is included in the agreement. For project-based clients, emergency support is available on a retainer or per-incident basis.
We already have some IT infrastructure in place. Do we need to replace everything?
Almost never. We assess what you have, identify what's working well, and recommend changes only where they're justified by performance, security, or cost. We've built our practice on vendor-agnostic advisory specifically because we believe in working with your existing investments — not replacing them to meet a vendor quota.
IT Works Best When Everything Works Together
Your IT infrastructure connects to everything else in your business. Our services are designed to work together — ensuring that security, web presence, and digital innovation are all built on the same solid foundation.
Cybersecurity
IT infrastructure without cybersecurity is a liability. Our cybersecurity team conducts assessments, implements monitoring, and provides incident response planning to protect the infrastructure we build and manage.
Web Development
Your website, email, and cloud services all depend on properly configured infrastructure. When we manage both, everything works together — DNS, SSL certificates, hosting, email deliverability, and domain security.
AI & Digital Solutions
AI and automation tools need reliable infrastructure and data connectivity to function. Our IT and AI teams work together to ensure your automation initiatives are built on a stable, secure foundation.
