Secure, managed cloud for Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace.

Backup, email security and identity protection built around the way your team actually works in the cloud.

No jargon. No mystery line items. Just clear cloud packages that keep your business safe and running.

Your email and files are the heart of the business. We treat them that way.

Cloud platforms are powerful, but out-of-the-box settings rarely match how you actually operate—or the level of risk you’re comfortable with.

Our managed cloud services add layered security, backup and reporting on top of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. That includes Dropsuite cloud backup, advanced email security and best-practice identity protection, depending on the plan you choose.

Pick a package that matches your risk profile today—and know you can step up to the next level as your compliance, industry or security needs grow.

Why layer security on top of 365 and Workspace?

Attackers target email and cloud apps because that’s where the data and money live. Relying on the default settings alone leaves gaps in backup, phishing protection and identity controls.

  • Extra protection against phishing, malware and business email compromise.
  • Independent cloud backups so deleted or encrypted data can be recovered.
  • Identity controls like MFA and conditional access in higher-tier plans.
  • Clear monthly reporting so you can see what’s being blocked.

Cloud services that stay secure, backed up and under control.

Every package combines backup, email security and management so you’re covered if someone clicks the wrong thing, deletes the wrong file, or a new threat appears.
