01 · Managed IT

Stop firefighting. Start growing.

Most small businesses only call for help after something breaks: the server is down, the email has stopped, a customer is waiting. Managed IT flips that. We watch your systems around the clock, catch problems before they cost you a day, and keep everything patched, secured and backed up for one predictable monthly fee.

What it replaces

  • Emergency hourly invoices
  • Downtime nobody bills but everybody pays
  • Security incidents
  • Technology that almost works

What your plan includes

  1. 01

    Proactive monitoring and maintenance. Systems watched 24/7, issues resolved before they reach you.

  2. 02

    Unlimited helpdesk support. Remote and on-site help when your team needs it.

  3. 03

    Security built in. Endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication, patching and email filtering.

  4. 04

    Backup and disaster recovery. Automated, monitored, verified daily and test-restored on a calendar.

  5. 05

    Vendor management. We deal with your internet provider, software and hardware vendors.

  6. 06

    Strategic guidance. Planning that fits your goals and budget, with no unnecessary purchases.

First 30 days

Every device, license and vendor documented, with a network map and binder that belong to you.

02 · Cybersecurity

Five steps in. Five chances to stop it.

Most attacks are routine, so routine defenses help. We close the common ways in, make recovery possible, and tell you plainly what is still open. Nobody can promise that nothing will ever get through.

  1. 1

    A fake invoice arrives

    We cut it with

    Email filtering and impersonation checks

  2. 2

    Someone types their password

    We cut it with

    MFA, so the password alone is not enough

  3. 3

    The attacker moves sideways

    We cut it with

    Segmentation and least-privilege access

  4. 4

    Ransomware launches

    We cut it with

    Endpoint detection and response on every device

  5. 5

    Backups are encrypted too

    We cut it with

    A tested backup copy kept out of reach

An illustration of a common pattern, not a specific incident.

03 · Straight answers

What it costs, how fast we come, and what you sign.

Five straight answers before you book anything. Where a number isn't published yet, it says so.

  1. 01

    What does managed IT cost?

    Priced per user or per device, flat and predictable, and scoped in writing after a short assessment.

    [PLACEHOLDER: starting price or range, if BitNetica chooses to publish one]

  2. 02

    How fast do you respond?

    We tell you when we can start and whether it's a remote fix or a visit. On-site help across McHenry County is a short drive.

    [PLACEHOLDER: urgent response-time target]

  3. 03

    Is it 24/7 or business hours?

    Monitoring runs around the clock on managed plans. The office is open Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

    [PLACEHOLDER: after-hours emergency policy]

  4. 04

    Do I have to sign a contract?

    No. BitNetica doesn't lock you into contracts or retainers. Managed IT is an option for convenience and predictability, never a requirement.

  5. 05

    How do you secure your own systems?

    [PLACEHOLDER: how BitNetica protects its own admin tools, remote-access software and vendors]
