What is managed it services in tampa?

BASG provides managed IT, cybersecurity, and compliance support to businesses across Tampa Bay, delivered through remote operations with scheduled on-site visits from our Coral Gables office. Coverage includes 24/7 monitoring and help desk, managed detection, cloud administration, CMMC and HIPAA control implementation, and integration for logistics and line-of-business systems.

Who it is for

  • Regional headquarters and back-office operations in Westshore
  • Medical practices and specialty groups across the metro
  • Defense and federal suppliers in the MacDill orbit
  • Freight and distribution operations around Port Tampa Bay
  • Financial services back-office functions
  • Professional services firms downtown and in Water Street

How it works

  1. Assessment: remote review plus an on-site visit covering network, endpoints, backups, and compliance exposure.
  2. Written findings: what exists, what is unsupported, and where the security and licensing gaps are.
  3. Onboarding: documentation, monitoring, security baseline, verified backups.
  4. Steady state: 24/7 monitoring, help desk, patching, vendor management.
  5. Quarterly reviews: roadmap, budget, control review, and storm-season continuity testing.

What is included

  • 24/7 monitoring and remote help desk
  • Scheduled on-site visits, guaranteed response scoped where needed
  • Managed EDR, endpoint hardening, and patching
  • Microsoft 365 and cloud administration
  • Backup with tested restores and documented RTO/RPO
  • CMMC (NIST 800-171) and HIPAA control implementation
  • Storm continuity planning and pre-staged spares
  • Integration support for TMS, WMS, and ERP environments

Pricing model

Priced per user per month, shaped by device count, compliance obligations, and on-site requirements. A federal supplier under CMMC scopes differently from an office-only professional services firm. Assessment precedes any quote, and the written assessment is yours regardless.

Compliance & security

CMMC Levels 1-3 aligned to NIST 800-171 for federal suppliers, HIPAA for healthcare, and control support for financial-sector retention and supervision requirements. Certification is performed by a certified third-party assessor; we implement and evidence the controls.

How it compares to alternatives

  • Tampa-based local MSP — Businesses whose primary requirement is same-hour physical presence without specialised compliance needs.
  • National MSP — Standardised multi-site operations needing little on-site work.
  • BASG — Tampa Bay operations needing CMMC or HIPAA handled properly, or ERP and line-of-business integration alongside daily IT.

What Tampa Bay Runs On

An office market, a military footprint, and a working port — three different sets of requirements.

Westshore Business District

Florida’s largest office submarket, dense with regional headquarters and back-office operations that carry corporate systems complexity in mid-sized local footprints.

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Practices, specialty groups, and research-adjacent operations across the metro, carrying HIPAA obligations and EHR uptime requirements.

Defense & Federal Suppliers

The MacDill footprint pulls in contractors and service firms holding federal work, which makes CMMC and NIST 800-171 contractual rather than optional.

Port Tampa Bay & Logistics

Freight, distribution, and marine operations running TMS and WMS where a maintenance window scheduled at the wrong hour stops trucks.

Financial Services Operations

Banking and investment back-office functions with retention, supervision, and access-control requirements that generic IT does not address.

Water Street & Downtown

Newer developments with modern building infrastructure, and tenants who expect their IT to match the address.

Compliance Arrives Before the Support Question

In most markets a business calls an IT provider because something broke. In Tampa Bay a large share of first conversations start with a document instead — a prime contractor asking about CMMC, an insurer asking about MFA and EDR, or a health system asking whether a practice can meet the 2026 HIPAA Security Rule.

Those questions have specific technical answers and specific evidence requirements. We assess against the actual document you were handed rather than a generic checklist, close the gaps, and package what the other party is going to ask for.
