Quick Answer

What is IT Support & Cybersecurity?

One bundled, flat-rate package where one local Arkansas team handles both your day-to-day IT support and your active cybersecurity defense — helpdesk, monitoring, endpoint protection, email security, phishing-defense training, and strategic IT planning. We become your IT department — or we back up the one you have.

Everything Included

IT Support & Cybersecurity Under One Plan — 6 Service Areas, One Team

These are the six service areas every Mansour's plan covers. What's included at each tier scales with your plan — SafeStart locks in the cybersecurity baseline and the monitoring stack, Fundamental adds response speed and user-account oversight, and Vigilance Pro layers in MFA, training, MDR/SOC, and included remote and on-site support. See the tier breakdown below.

1. Helpdesk & User Support

Real Arkansas technicians answer your call in three rings — no offshore call center, no tier-1 script readers. You get the engineer who can actually solve the problem. Remote and on-site support scope follows your plan (pay-per-incident at SafeStart, remote included at Fundamental, remote and on-site included at Vigilance Pro).

2. 24/7 Monitoring & Maintenance

Your network is watched around the clock — every server, every workstation, every critical service. When something goes sideways at 2am, we're already working on it before you wake up. Patch management, anomaly detection, capacity planning — all included.

3. Endpoint Protection

Managed antivirus, endpoint detection & response (EDR), and ransomware detection on every workstation and server — baseline at every tier. Automated patching and firmware updates keep systems current with no employee involvement. MDR/SOC, MFA enforcement, disk encryption, ring-fencing, and malware sandboxing layer in at Vigilance Pro.

4. Email Security

Email spam and phishing filtering with managed allow/block lists at every tier — that's the door 90% of attacks come through, locked from day one. M365 account monitoring, suspected-attack alerts, and mass data-deletion detection layer in at Fundamental. Phishing simulation and Workspace backup come with Vigilance Pro.

5. Identity & User Security

User-account oversight scales with your plan. Fundamental adds M365 account monitoring, suspicious-exposure detection, and mass data-deletion alerts. Vigilance Pro layers in 2FA/MFA enforcement, password management, user training cohorts, on-demand training, phishing simulations, and Workspace backup — turning your team into your first line of defense instead of your biggest liability.

6. Strategic IT Leadership & Technology Business Reviews

A real partner — not a vendor. We sit down with you on a cadence that fits your business — from once a year for small clients to monthly for larger ones — and walk through what's working, what's coming next, and where your IT spend should go. No salesman in the room. Just your technician, your business, and a real plan.

Managed IT is the foundation. Most clients pair it with one or more of these dedicated services — each priced and managed separately so you only pay for what you actually need.

Why Mansour's vs. Everyone Else

What You'll Actually Notice in the First 90 Days

The differences between a great MSP and a typical one show up fast. 90% of organizations cite response time as the #1 quality marker of their IT provider — and it's where most MSPs quietly miss. Here's where Mansour's separates from the pack.

What Matters Mansour's Computer Solutions Typical MSP
Phone answer time Three rings · real Arkansas technician Voicemail · ticket portal · 1–4 hours
Who answers your call CISSP-led engineering team Tier-1 script readers · offshore call center
On-site response (Pulaski County) Same-day · often within an hour 2–5 business days for "next available appointment"
Local accountability Family-owned Arkansas company since 2008 Out-of-state ownership · private-equity rollups
How you're billed Plan-based · no surprise add-ons · locked at signing · no mid-contract hikes Hourly surprises · silent price increases · "that's an add-on"
What the rate covers Everything — helpdesk, monitoring, on-site, M365, reviews Helpdesk only — everything else billed à la carte
Cybersecurity expertise CISSP-certified founder · Amazon best-selling author Generic IT staff · cybersecurity outsourced to a vendor
Strategic reviews Free Technology Business Reviews — no salesman Annual upsell meetings disguised as reviews
Backup verification Quarterly tested restores · documented results "We have backups" — never actually tested
You own your data Your accounts, passwords, backups — always yours Vendor lock-in · data hostage during exit
Two Ways to Work With Us

No IT Person, or One Stretched Thin? We Fit Both.

Most Arkansas businesses come to us in one of two shapes — no internal IT, or one IT lead doing the work of three. Here's how the engagement looks for each. Same flat-rate billing. Same Arkansas team. Different scope of who owns what.

Full Outsource

We Become Your IT Department

No internal IT — and you don't want the cost or churn of hiring one.

Best fit if you…

  • Have no internal IT — your office manager handles the small stuff and panics on the big stuff
  • Don't want to hire (Arkansas IT lead median salary ≈ $85K, before benefits, training, and turnover risk)
  • Need 24/7 monitoring, helpdesk, security, and strategy without juggling three vendors
  • Want one number to call when something breaks, and one person accountable when it doesn't

What we own

  • Helpdesk + on-site support — every ticket, every device, every user
  • 24/7 network monitoring + patch management + endpoint security
  • Email security, MFA enforcement, security-awareness training
  • Strategic IT planning (vCIO / Technology Business Reviews)

83% of small businesses that move from break-fix to fully managed IT report lower total IT costs once you factor in productivity recovered and outages avoided. Source: CompTIA.

Co-Managed

We Reinforce Your IT Team

You've got an IT person — they're good, but they're stretched.

Best fit if you…

  • Have an IT lead or small team — competent, but drowning in tickets with no time for strategy
  • Need specialized expertise you can't justify a second hire for (security, M365, network architecture, compliance)
  • Want night, weekend, and vacation coverage without hiring a second person
  • Need a CISSP signing off on your security stack — for cyber-insurance, compliance, or board reporting

What we handle

  • Security stack (EDR, email security, MFA, patch validation) — pulls cyber off their plate
  • After-hours, weekend, and vacation coverage — your IT person actually takes time off
  • Compliance scoping (HIPAA, FFIEC, FTC Safeguards, IRS 4557, DFARS, CJIS) — frameworks they don't specialize in
  • vCIO / strategic planning on a cadence that works for you and them

Our promise: we make your IT person's job saner, not redundant. Their institutional knowledge of your business stays where it belongs — with them. We're the night shift, the security specialist, and the second pair of eyes — not the replacement.

63% of mid-market businesses now use co-managed IT specifically to add security expertise their internal team can't cover, and co-managed engagements typically reduce total IT cost by 25–45% vs. hiring a second internal specialist. Source: Meriplex / CompTIA.

Here's What Happens Next

From "My IT Is Broken" to "My IT Is Handled" in 3 Steps

No pressure. No tech jargon. Just three simple steps to get your business running on real IT.

  2. Custom Plan at a Flat-Rate Price

    You'll see exactly what we'd do, exactly what it costs, and exactly how long it takes. No hourly bait-and-switch. No mystery line items. If our plan isn't a fit, we'll tell you.

  3. We Take Over. You Get Back to Business.

    From day one your phone gets answered in three rings, your network gets watched 24/7, and your team stops losing hours to broken tech. You stop chasing IT and get back to running your business.

Co-Managed IT · For Businesses With Internal IT

Already Have Internal IT? Here's How We Plug In.

You've got an IT lead — they're sharp, they know your business, and they're stretched. Co-Managed IT is how we reinforce what they do without stepping on it. You pick which pieces of our top-tier stack you want us to handle. They keep what they're already great at. Nobody gets replaced. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Co-Managed is probably right if your IT person says any of these:
  • "I haven't taken a real vacation in two years."
  • "Cyber-insurance is asking for things I don't have time to build."
  • "I'd love a second pair of eyes on this — but I can't justify a hire."
  • "I'm one resignation away from being the single point of failure."

What You Can Hand To Us

Co-Managed pulls from our highest-tier (Vigilance Pro) stack — broken into pieces you can take individually. Common picks:

Microsoft 365 administration

Tenant hardening, license right-sizing, Conditional Access, Exchange/SharePoint/Intune admin, M365 backup, Copilot prerequisites. Your IT lead keeps the user-facing relationship — we own the back-end tenant work.

Compliance scoping

HIPAA, FFIEC, FTC Safeguards, IRS 4557, ABA 1.6, CJIS, DFARS/CMMC — frameworks your IT generalist probably doesn't specialize in. We handle gap assessments, written policies, audit prep, and vendor-questionnaire responses.

Project execution

Office moves, M365 migrations, firewall replacements, server refreshes, Wi-Fi redesigns, cloud-platform deployments. Your IT lead stays on day-to-day ops while we run the project to closeout.

Training & phishing simulation

User training cohorts, monthly phishing-simulation campaigns, on-demand security awareness library, results reporting for cyber-insurance and HR documentation.

Backup monitoring & recovery

24/7 backup-job monitoring, alert triage, quarterly tested restores with documented results. Your IT lead doesn't have to babysit backup software anymore.

Real Engagement Shapes

What Co-Managed Actually Looks Like

Three real shapes from real engagements. Yours probably won't be exactly one of these — it'll be the combination that fits your team.

Most common

Security Stack + After-Hours

Setup

Internal sysadmin runs day-to-day helpdesk, patching, vendor mgmt. We own the full security stack (MDR/SOC, EDR, MFA, dark-web monitoring) and pick up the emergency line nights/weekends.

Why it fits

Cyber-insurance underwriter requires CISSP sign-off and 24/7 monitored response. One internal IT lead can't physically cover both. We slot in as the security half of the team.

Typical fit: mid-size CPA firm with cyber-insurance renewal coming up

M365 Back-End + Compliance

Setup

In-house IT manager handles user support and infrastructure. We own the M365 tenant (Conditional Access, license optimization, hardening, backup) and the compliance program (HIPAA / FFIEC scoping, written policies, audit prep).

Why it fits

Their IT manager is great with users and infrastructure but isn't a compliance specialist. Audit's in 6 months and they need defensible documentation.

Typical fit: regional medical practice prepping for HIPAA audit

vCIO + Project Execution

Setup

Internal IT director runs the team and operations. We meet quarterly as their strategic peer (vCIO) and own discrete projects — M365 migration, firewall refresh, branch-office rollout.

Why it fits

IT director's bandwidth is finite. They want a sounding board for strategy and a project shop they trust to execute, so their team can stay focused on running the business.

Typical fit: multi-location manufacturer with a small internal IT team

From Arkansas Businesses That Made the Switch

What "Real IT Support" Actually Looks Like

Three real Google reviews from clients who left a different IT provider — or had none at all — and now run their business on Mansour's.

★★★★★

"When we experienced an email breach, their team responded the same day, resolved the issue promptly, and gave us the confidence to entrust them with all our IT needs. We had never worked with an IT firm before, and now we can't imagine needing anyone else."

Sheri Storie
Director · Pine Bluff Advertising & Promotion Commission · July 2025 · Google review
★★★★★

"Our accounting firm in Little Rock chose Mansour's Computer Solutions to handle our cybersecurity onboarding, and the experience was outstanding. They took the time to understand how we store and access sensitive client tax data, then implemented multiple layers of protection to keep our systems safe from hackers."

Valerie Taylor
Owner · Heritage Accounting · November 2025 · Google review
★★★★★

"I needed a workstation that could keep up with my demanding schedule — clinical research, telehealth, and data security — all while working between home and the hospital. Mansour delivered exactly what I needed right here in Little Rock. His team built me a custom machine with the power of a gaming rig and the protection of an enterprise system."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Managed IT

What is managed IT and how is it different from break-fix?

Managed IT is a proactive, all-inclusive monthly subscription that covers everything from helpdesk to security to strategic planning. Break-fix charges you hourly only when something breaks — which means your IT company makes more money when things go wrong. Managed IT flips that incentive: we get paid the same whether you have problems or not, so we work hard to make sure you don't.

What's included in your managed IT plan?

Every plan covers six service areas: helpdesk & user support, 24/7 monitoring & maintenance, endpoint protection, email security, identity & user security, and strategic IT leadership. What's in each area scales with your tier — SafeStart locks in the cybersecurity baseline (EDR, antivirus, ransomware detection, patching, file backup, spam filtering, web filtering). Fundamental adds remote support, faster response, M365 account monitoring, and dark-web reporting. Vigilance Pro layers in included remote and on-site support, MDR/SOC, MFA, training, phishing simulation, disk encryption, and a dedicated account manager. Companion services — Firewall & Networking, Data Backup & Recovery, Microsoft 365 Administration — are scoped separately so you only pay for what you actually need.

How fast is your response time?

Real Arkansas technicians answer the phone in three rings during business hours — no offshore queue. Emergency response time scales with your tier: SafeStart guarantees a 1-hour emergency remote response with on-site coverage as available. Fundamental tightens that to a 30-minute emergency remote response and next-business-day on-site. Vigilance Pro keeps the 30-minute remote response and adds same-calendar-day on-site coverage. Standard ticket response is faster than the emergency SLA in practice — most tickets get a real person inside the hour.

How do you protect clients from price hikes and vendor lock-in?

Your rate is locked at signing — no silent increases. The service agreement spells out exactly what's included (helpdesk, monitoring, on-site, M365, Free Technology Business Reviews — all of it), and your data, passwords, and accounts stay in your name from day one. If you ever leave, we hand over admin credentials, documentation, and the runbook in full. We've kept clients for 15+ years because they re-sign by choice, not by trap. Term length and other specifics are tailored to your business and walked through on the free 10-minute call.

What does managed IT typically cost for an Arkansas business?

Pricing depends on which plan you land on (SafeStart, Fundamental, or Vigilance Pro), how many workstations and servers you have, and whether you go full-outsource or co-managed. We don't publish per-device rates because the right plan for a 5-person CPA firm is genuinely different from the right plan for a 50-person regional bank, and a rate sheet just produces sticker shock without context. Co-managed IT is à la carte — you pick which pieces of our Vigilance Pro stack you want us to cover, and we scope from there. Industry compliance work (HIPAA, FFIEC, FTC Safeguards, IRS 4557, ABA 1.6, CJIS, PCI-DSS, DFARS/CMMC) is a separate monthly service priced per framework. You'll see your exact number on the 10-minute discovery call — no commitment, no pitch.

Can you support our existing technology stack?

Yes. We adopt your existing Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, line-of-business software, and hardware as-is. No forced migrations. We harden security, document admin handoff, and take over administration without disrupting your users.

What happens during onboarding?

Real help starts day one — your phone gets answered in three rings, your network gets watched 24/7, and your team stops losing hours to broken tech. The full handoff (documentation, every device, every account, every backup) runs methodically in the background over the following months. We don't rush onboarding, because rushed onboarding is exactly how things break later.

Are you really local?

Yes. Mansour's is family-owned and based in Arkansas. Every technician who answers your call lives and works in Arkansas — no overseas call centers, no script readers, no time-zone delays. You can walk into our office and shake their hand.

Do you replace our IT person, or work with them?

Either, depending on what you need. Most of our co-managed clients keep their internal IT lead and bring us in to cover what their lead doesn't specialize in — security stack, after-hours coverage, compliance scoping, vCIO strategy. We make their job saner, not redundant. Their institutional knowledge of your business stays where it belongs — with them. If you don't have an IT person and don't want to hire one, we become your IT department instead. We'll figure out which fit makes sense on the 10-minute call.

How do we keep our IT person and your team from stepping on each other?

Documented role boundaries from day one. During onboarding we build a simple RACI (Responsible / Accountable / Consulted / Informed) mapping with your IT lead — exactly which categories of work they own, which we own, and which we share. Tickets route accordingly. Your lead gets a real teammate, not a turf war. We've run co-managed engagements for over a decade and the only failure mode is when nobody documents the boundaries — so that's the first thing we do.

What if we want to leave after the first year? Who owns the documentation and accounts?

You do. Always. Your Microsoft 365 tenant, Google Workspace, line-of-business software accounts, domain registrar, network documentation, password vault — all in your name from day one. If you ever leave, we hand over admin credentials, documentation, and the runbook in full. No vendor lock-in, no data hostage, no "we'll get it to you in 60 days." We've kept clients for 15+ years because they re-sign by choice, not by trap.
