Plans run $75–$250 per user per month, agreements are quarterly, and onboarding takes two to four weeks. - [Managed Security Services (MSSP)](https://cloudtechforce.com/managed-security-services/): Managed security services put a 24/7 security operations team on your business for a fixed monthly fee: endpoint detection and response on every device, monitoring of Microsoft 365 sign-ins and email, vulnerability scanning and patching, backups built to survive ransomware, and a named engineer who runs the response when something is caught. CloudTechForce includes all of this in its Complete ($125–$175 per user per month) and Compliance ($175–$250) plans, and offers it standalone to businesses that keep another IT provider. - [Microsoft 365 Managed Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/microsoft-365-services/): We migrate, secure and run Microsoft 365 tenants for businesses with 10–500 users: Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Entra ID, Intune, Defender and Copilot. Management is included in our managed IT plans; standalone Microsoft 365 management is priced per user, and migrations are fixed-price and free for 10–20 user teams that start a quarterly plan. - [Co-Managed IT Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/co-managed-it-services/): Co-managed IT means your internal IT staff keep ownership of strategy, on-site work and the relationships, while CloudTechForce supplies the parts a one- or two-person team cannot cover: 24/7 help desk overflow and after-hours, monitoring and patching, Microsoft 365 administration, security monitoring and response, backup verification, and project engineers on demand. You pay per user for a narrower scope than fully managed IT, typically 40–60% of a fully managed plan. - [Microsoft 365 Migration Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/microsoft-365-migration-services/): We move businesses of 10–500 users to Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace, on-premises or hosted Exchange, IMAP and POP mail, GoDaddy-resold Microsoft 365, and from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another. Every migration has a written plan, a scheduled cutover (usually a weekend), a rollback point and two weeks of post-migration support. Pricing is fixed per mailbox and per terabyte; teams of 10–20 users get a standard migration free when they start a quarterly managed IT plan. - [Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/vciso-services/): A virtual CISO (vCISO) is a senior security leader who works for your business part-time: they assess risk, build and run the security programme, own compliance with frameworks such as HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2 and the FTC Safeguards Rule, plan and rehearse incident response, and report to owners, boards, insurers and auditors in plain language. It suits businesses with 20 to 500 people that are regulated, insured or supplying larger customers, and that cannot justify or find a full-time chief information security officer. CloudTechForce vCISO retainers are monthly, scoped by hours, and backed by the engineers who implement what the vCISO decides. - [IT Compliance Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/compliance-services/): CloudTechForce provides compliance-as-a-service covering gap assessments, technical control implementation, policy documentation, continuous monitoring, and audit preparation for HIPAA, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR — helping regulated businesses pass audits and reduce compliance risk. - [Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration](https://cloudtechforce.com/google-workspace-to-microsoft-365-migration/): CloudTechForce migrates businesses from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 in two to four weeks: Gmail to Exchange Online, Google Drive and Shared Drives to OneDrive and SharePoint, Calendar and Contacts to Outlook, with sharing permissions mapped and a weekend cutover so nobody loses a message. Pricing is per mailbox and per terabyte, and free for 10–20 user teams that start a quarterly managed IT plan. - [White-Label Services for MSPs](https://cloudtechforce.com/white-label-msp-services/): CloudTechForce provides white-label tier 1–2 help desk, 24/7 NOC monitoring and alert handling, and Microsoft 365 and Azure project engineers to managed service providers in the US and Canada. We work inside your PSA and RMM, under your brand and phone greeting, with your documentation standards. Pricing is per endpoint for help desk and NOC and per engineer-month for projects. Onboarding takes two to three weeks. - [Backup & Disaster Recovery](https://cloudtechforce.com/backup-disaster-recovery/): CloudTechForce provides comprehensive backup and disaster recovery (BDR) services including automated cloud backups, Microsoft 365 backup, on-premises and hybrid backup, disaster recovery planning with defined RTO/RPO targets, regular DR testing, and rapid recovery for servers, data, and applications. - [Microsoft 365 Tenant-to-Tenant Migration](https://cloudtechforce.com/microsoft-365-tenant-to-tenant-migration/): A tenant-to-tenant migration moves users, mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and identity from one Microsoft 365 tenant into another. Businesses need it after an acquisition or merger, a divestiture, a rebrand with a new domain, or when leaving a reseller-controlled tenant. CloudTechForce delivers it in three to eight weeks with a coexistence plan so both companies keep working, and a fixed price per user. - [Managed Cloud Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/managed-cloud-services/): Managed cloud services means CloudTechForce runs your Azure or AWS environment day to day: 24/7 monitoring with an engineer on the alert, monthly patching, identity and access clean-up, backups with a restore test every month, a monthly cost review and a written recovery plan, for a fixed monthly fee. It suits businesses with 10–100 users that have moved servers or applications to the cloud and have nobody whose job is to watch them. Onboarding takes two to four weeks and agreements are quarterly. - [Microsoft 365 Copilot Deployment Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/microsoft-copilot/): Deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot well is mostly a data-governance project with a training project attached. Copilot can only show a user what that user already has permission to see, so the first job is finding the files, sites and mailboxes that are shared far more widely than anyone intended, then labelling and locking down sensitive data. After that comes licensing that fits, a pilot with real use cases, and measurement of whether anyone is actually saving time. CloudTechForce delivers this as fixed-price packages for businesses with 10 to 500 seats. - [Virtual CIO (vCIO) Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/vcio-services/): A virtual CIO (vCIO) is a senior technology leader who works for your business part-time: they own the IT roadmap and budget, manage vendors and renewals, translate risk into business terms for the owners or board, and review progress with you every quarter. It suits businesses with 20 to 300 people that have outgrown ad-hoc decisions but cannot justify a $170,000-plus executive. CloudTechForce vCIO retainers are monthly, priced by the hours and scope you need, and can be cancelled with notice rather than locked into multi-year terms. - [Cloud Migration Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/cloud-migrations/): Cloud migration services means CloudTechForce moves your servers, applications and data from on-premises hardware or another provider into Azure or AWS as a fixed-price project: discovery and dependency mapping, a target design, a rehearsed cutover with a rollback point, and 30 days of post-move tuning. A one-to-two-server business typically moves in two to four weeks; five to twenty servers takes two to four months. Email and files for 10–20 user teams migrate free on a quarterly managed IT plan. - [IT Staff Augmentation](https://cloudtechforce.com/staff-augmentation/): CloudTechForce provides IT staff augmentation that allows businesses to add certified professionals in cloud engineering, DevOps, cybersecurity, and Microsoft 365 — available within 5–10 business days at 30–50% less than full-time hiring costs. - [Cloud Cost Optimization](https://cloudtechforce.com/cloud-cost-optimization/): Cloud cost optimization from CloudTechForce is a four-to-six-week engagement that reads your Azure or AWS bill line by line, finds the idle, oversized and mispriced resources, quantifies what each change would save, and then makes the changes you approve in staged rollouts with monitoring. You see the savings figure before you commit. - [Cloud Consulting](https://cloudtechforce.com/cloud-consulting/): Cloud consulting from CloudTechForce is a fixed-scope engagement that answers a specific question about Azure or AWS in writing: whether to move, what the target design should be, why the bill is what it is, or whether the environment you inherited is safe. Engagements run one to six weeks and end with a document you can act on with or without us. It suits businesses with 10–100 users and small IT teams that need an architect for a decision, not a permanent hire. - [Managed DevOps Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/managed-devops/): Managed DevOps gives a software team a platform team without hiring one: we build and run the delivery pipeline, define the infrastructure as code, operate the Kubernetes or container platform, and carry the pager. It suits companies with 3 to 40 developers on Azure or AWS whose engineers are spending their evenings on deployments and their mornings on outages. Engagements are monthly retainers scoped by environment count and release cadence, or named DevOps engineers placed on your team for a defined period. - [Well-Architected Review](https://cloudtechforce.com/well-architected-review/): CloudTechForce performs Well-Architected Reviews based on the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework — identifying high-risk issues and delivering a prioritized remediation plan. - [Migration OnRamp](https://cloudtechforce.com/migration-onramp/): CloudTechForce's Migration OnRamp is a structured program covering discovery, assessment, proof of concept, migration execution, and optimization — designed to get you into the cloud quickly with minimal risk. ## Industries - [IT Services for Construction Companies](https://cloudtechforce.com/construction-it-services/): Construction IT has to work in a trailer with a cellular router as well as in the office, on a superintendent's iPad as well as an estimator's workstation, and under the pressure of draw schedules that make a spoofed invoice a six-figure loss. CloudTechForce runs managed IT for contractors with 10 to 250 people: jobsite connectivity, every device enrolled and protected, support for the software you actually use, large-file infrastructure for drawings and models, payment-fraud defences, and a help desk that answers at 6 a.m. when the crew starts. Plans are priced per user per month, with lighter pricing for field-only users. - [IT Services for Financial Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/financial-services-it/): IT services for financial services from CloudTechForce give advisers, lenders, insurance agencies, accounting firms and fintech companies a managed IT team that runs day-to-day technology and keeps it examination-ready. The Compliance plan, at $175–$250 per user per month, includes the controls the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI-DSS, SOX and SEC rules ask for: MFA, encryption, logging with a 24/7 SOC, tested backups, vendor oversight and the written evidence an examiner or auditor expects to see. - [Healthcare IT Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/healthcare-it-services/): Healthcare IT services from CloudTechForce give medical, dental and behavioral health practices a managed IT team that runs the technology your EHR depends on and keeps it aligned with the HIPAA Security Rule: encrypted and monitored devices, MFA on every login, audit logs kept for six years, tested backups and a signed Business Associate Agreement. It is delivered on the Compliance plan at $175–$250 per user per month, with a 24/7 help desk and quarterly agreements. - [IT Services for Law Firms](https://cloudtechforce.com/legal-it-services/): IT services for law firms from CloudTechForce cover the four things a firm's technology has to do: keep client files confidential, keep the document management system and Microsoft 365 available, let attorneys work securely from court, home and client sites, and produce the evidence that clients, insurers and bar rules now expect. Plans run $125–$250 per user per month with a 24/7 help desk, quarterly agreements and no setup fee. - [Manufacturing IT Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/manufacturing-it-services/): CloudTechForce provides manufacturing IT services including OT/IT network security, SCADA protection, ERP system management, production environment monitoring, and compliance support for industrial manufacturers. - [Real Estate IT Services](https://cloudtechforce.com/real-estate-it-services/): CloudTechForce provides real estate IT services including email security and wire fraud prevention, Microsoft 365 management, mobile device management for agents, MLS and CRM integration support, and transaction data security. ## Locations - [Managed IT Services in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky](https://cloudtechforce.com/managed-it-services-cincinnati/): CloudTechForce provides managed IT services to Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky businesses with 10–100 users: a 24/7 help desk on an Ohio (380) number, Microsoft 365 management, security monitoring, backup, and PCI-DSS, SOC 2 or CMMC compliance support for $75–$250 per user per month.
