Three ways to work with Boundary Managed
Every engagement is scoped in writing before it starts — a one-time assessment, an ongoing strategic retainer, or defined recurring administration. Pick what fits; nothing is bundled by default.
IT Infrastructure Assessment
A structured, non-invasive baseline of your network, hardware, and security posture — with a prioritized roadmap you can act on.
- Asset inventory & network topology
- Security posture review
- Executive + technical reports
Fractional IT Leadership
Strategic technology direction without a full-time hire — budgeting, vendor oversight, and planning.
- Technology roadmap & budgeting
- Vendor and MSP oversight
- Quarterly business reviews
Managed IT Services
Defined, recurring administration — Microsoft 365, assets, and documentation — scoped to what you actually need.
- Microsoft 365 & user administration
- Asset & license tracking
- Documentation maintenance
Inside the IT Infrastructure Assessment
A fixed-scope, non-invasive engagement. No exploitation, no password attacks, no production changes — just a defensible baseline of what's actually in your environment and what to do about it.
Hardware & Software Inventory
Full documentation of what's on the network and what it's for.
- Devices, models, OS, and support status
- Owner, location, and business purpose
- Unknown, unmanaged, or end-of-life flags
Discovery & Topology
A clear picture of how traffic actually moves.
- Firewall, switch, wireless, VLAN review
- Editable Draw.io diagram + PDF export
- Subnet, VPN, and remote-access mapping
Security Posture Review
A defensive read on where the real risk sits.
- IAM, MFA, and admin-access practices
- Backup, segmentation, and remote-access gaps
- Prioritized, business-ranked recommendations
Strategic direction, without a full-time hire
For businesses that have outgrown ad hoc IT decisions but aren't ready for a full-time IT manager or director. Boundary Managed acts as your independent technology adviser — planning, budgeting, and holding vendors accountable.
Roadmap & Budgeting
Technology decisions tied to business priorities, not vendor pressure.
- Annual and quarterly technology planning
- IT budget development and review
- Lifecycle and replacement planning
Vendor & MSP Management
An independent advocate managing the vendors who manage your systems.
- MSP and vendor performance oversight
- Contract and renewal review
- Escalation coordination when things break
Reporting & Risk Management
Executive-level visibility into where technology risk actually sits.
- Quarterly business reviews
- Risk register maintenance
- Policy and documentation governance
Defined administration, not an open-ended help desk
Recurring technology administration scoped to a defined set of users, devices, and systems — with clear inclusions and clear limits, agreed on before the engagement starts.
Microsoft 365 & Identity
Day-to-day administration of the systems your business runs on.
- User onboarding and offboarding
- License assignment and review
- Security-setting review and maintenance
Asset & License Management
An up-to-date record of what you own and what it costs.
- Asset inventory maintenance
- License tracking and renewal alerts
- Technology purchasing guidance
Coordination & Reporting
Keeps the environment documented and vendors accountable.
- Documentation maintenance
- Vendor coordination
- Monthly client reporting
A structured process, start to finish
Every engagement — one-time or ongoing — starts the same way: a real conversation and a written scope before any work begins.
Discovery Call
We talk through your environment, goals, and which engagement fits — assessment, fractional leadership, or managed support.
Proposal & Agreement
You get a fixed-fee proposal or a defined retainer scope, in writing, before anything begins.
Engagement Delivery
One-time assessments run 3–5 weeks. Fractional and managed engagements run on a recurring monthly cadence.
Report & Review
A plain-language readout, clear deliverables, and an honest conversation about what's next — no auto-renewal traps.
Built for SMB manufacturers, not enterprise IT
Boundary Managed is sized for businesses running on tribal knowledge and a single overworked IT contact — not a national account with an existing security team.
- Manufacturers & industrial companies near Danville, IN
- No dedicated internal IT department or leadership
- Growth that has outpaced documentation and process
- Preparing for a new MSP, audit, or insurance renewal
- Want an independent, vendor-neutral technology partner
- Need 24/7 help desk or unlimited support
- Looking for formal penetration testing
- Require compliance certification (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI)
- Expect free remediation or support after an assessment
- Need same-day, unscoped emergency response
Manufacturing-floor experience, not generic MSP checklists
-
Speaks operations, not just IT
Hands-on background in supply chain, shipping, and manufacturing IT — findings are framed around business impact, not just technical severity.
-
Independent by design
Boundary Managed doesn't sell hardware, licensing, or managed support alongside assessments — the findings aren't shaped by what's easiest to upsell.
-
Documentation as the deliverable
You keep editable diagrams, structured inventories, and a written roadmap — not just a verbal readout.
