Network switch and VLAN security configuration for businesses in Austin

Serving businesses since 2004. From physical cabling and network infrastructure to cloud services and cybersecurity, BCS connects day-to-day IT support with the systems your operations depend on.

When IT Stops, Business Stops

A locked account can hold up payroll. A failed server can interrupt customer service. A compromised email account can put payments and business information at risk. Technology problems quickly become business problems.

We start by understanding what must stay available, what information needs protection, and who needs to act during an incident. Then we build a practical support and security plan around your operations.

Managed Services Built Around Your Business

Everyday IT Support

Remote troubleshooting and local on-site assistance for workstations, servers, user access, and business technology. Help with onboarding, offboarding, vendor coordination, and recurring issues.

Cybersecurity Management

Layered protection across accounts, endpoints, email, and networks. Services can include MFA, endpoint protection, EDR, email security, security awareness training, and firewall management.

Microsoft 365 & Devices

Microsoft 365 administration, account security, permissions, and device management. BCS can help configure Intune policies, encryption, and access controls where supported by your licensing.

Networks & Infrastructure

Firewall, switching, VLAN, Wi-Fi, and connectivity support, backed by hands-on cabling and fiber expertise. We troubleshoot the complete connection from the workstation to the network.

Backups & Recovery

Backup planning, monitoring, and restore testing aligned with the systems you rely on. Define recovery priorities and understand how much downtime and data loss your business can tolerate.

Monitoring & Maintenance

Device health monitoring, patch management, and configuration reviews for covered systems. Identify recurring problems, aging equipment, and security gaps before they become bigger operational issues.

Services, covered assets, support hours, licensing, and response expectations are defined in your service agreement. Managed detection and response with 24/7 SOC monitoring can be scoped for covered systems.

Extra Attention for Business-Critical Systems

Not every device has the same business impact. We help identify the systems that support revenue, customer service, financial operations, and access to important information.

  • Core infrastructure: servers, identity services, firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, and internet connections.
  • Business applications: accounting, payroll, customer databases, line-of-business applications, and shared files.
  • Communication: Microsoft 365, email, and business phone systems.
  • Operational dependencies: network connections supporting point-of-sale, access control, and security systems, coordinated with the appropriate vendors.

For these systems, we focus on documented access, dependencies, maintenance windows, backup coverage, recovery procedures, and escalation contacts. Changes are planned around your operating hours and vendor requirements.

Your IT Department—or Additional Support for It

Full-Service Managed IT

For businesses that need an outside team to manage ongoing IT operations. BCS helps organize support, maintenance, cybersecurity, documentation, and technology planning under an agreed scope.

Co-Managed IT Services

For businesses with an internal IT person or team. We can add specialized cybersecurity support, project assistance, vacation coverage, local hands-on help, and an additional review of important controls.

Clear Priorities. Defined Responsibilities. Better Visibility.

  1. Understand your environment. Review your users, devices, locations, applications, current support, and critical business dependencies.
  2. Identify the gaps. Examine account access, security coverage, updates, backups, and recovery readiness.
  3. Build the support plan. Define covered systems, responsibilities, escalation procedures, and priorities.
  4. Manage and improve. Maintain covered systems, review findings, and adjust the plan as your business changes.

You should know who is handling the work, what is covered, and what still needs attention.

Need Help With SOC 2 or CMMC Readiness?

Customer requirements and contract opportunities may bring additional security expectations. BCS can help with gap assessments, technical implementation, documentation, and remediation planning alongside your managed IT services.

Explore our SOC 2 readiness and gap assessment services or CMMC consulting services. Readiness support is scoped separately; a managed services agreement alone does not establish compliance or replace an independent assessment.

Local Austin Support With Hands-On Experience

BCS supports businesses throughout Austin and surrounding communities, including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Buda, and Kyle.

Remote management is valuable, and some problems require someone on site. Our experience with cabling, fiber, switches, firewalls, wireless networks, and business systems helps connect cybersecurity decisions to the infrastructure that actually runs your business.
