HALO uses RMM to support patching, alerting, and automated remediation so problems are addressed before they become outages. ### Network Management URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-it/network-management HALO network management covers monitoring and maintenance of business switches, routers, firewalls, and Wi-Fi. The goal is stable connectivity, clearer visibility into network health, and faster remediation when performance or security issues appear. ### Server Management URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-it/server-management HALO server management includes provisioning, patching, and monitoring of physical and virtual servers so line-of-business applications stay available and maintained. Coverage can be fully managed or co-managed with your internal IT team. ### Onsite & Field Support URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-it/onsite-support HALO provides scheduled and emergency onsite technical support through service hubs in Sacramento, San Diego, and Las Vegas. Onsite work complements remote help desk and monitoring when hardware, cabling, or hands-on troubleshooting is required. ### IT Strategy & Virtual CIO URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-it/vcio HALO Virtual CIO services provide advisory support for technology roadmaps, budgeting conversations, and recurring business reviews. The goal is practical planning that aligns IT investments with business priorities — not one-size-fits-all packages. ### IT Documentation & Asset Management URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-it/documentation HALO maintains centralized IT documentation and live asset inventory so networks, systems, vendors, and devices are known and supportable. Strong documentation improves response quality and reduces risk during transitions or incidents. ### IT Procurement & Hardware Lifecycle URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-it/procurement HALO helps businesses source, deploy, and retire hardware with asset lifecycle discipline. Procurement support reduces ad-hoc purchasing, improves standardization, and keeps devices tracked from deployment through retirement. ## Cybersecurity Services URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity HALO cybersecurity services help protect businesses with layered controls across endpoints, email, identity, networks, and detection and response. Guided by practical frameworks such as NIST and CIS principles, HALO focuses on reducing risk, supporting uptime, and helping organizations strengthen their security posture — without claiming that breaches are impossible. Problems we help solve: - Phishing and credential theft targeting staff - Unpatched systems and unknown vulnerabilities - Limited visibility when something looks wrong - Security tools without clear ownership or response What HALO provides: - Managed detection and response - Endpoint protection and EDR - Firewall and network security management - Email security and anti-phishing - Security awareness training - Vulnerability management - Identity and access management - Incident response and remediation support - Dark web monitoring - Zero trust architecture guidance How it works: 1. Assess current controls and business risk 2. Prioritize gaps that matter most to operations 3. Implement layered protections with clear ownership 4. Monitor, detect, and respond with defined playbooks 5. Review and improve as your environment changes ### Managed Detection & Response URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/mdr Managed Detection and Response (MDR) helps organizations detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity across covered systems. HALO MDR focuses on continuous visibility and actionable response — not security theater or impossible guarantees. ### Endpoint Protection URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/endpoint-protection HALO endpoint protection combines modern antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities to help detect and contain threats on business workstations and devices. Coverage is managed as part of a layered cybersecurity approach. ### Firewall & Network Security URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/firewall HALO manages next-generation firewalls and related network security controls — including intrusion detection and prevention concepts, segmentation, and content filtering — to help protect business networks from unwanted traffic and reduce lateral movement risk. ### Email Security & Anti-Phishing URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/email-security HALO email security helps reduce spam, phishing, and impersonation risk with filtering, protective controls, and encryption options where appropriate. Email remains one of the most common attack paths for businesses of every size. ### Security Awareness Training URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/security-training HALO security awareness training helps employees recognize phishing and risky behavior through education and simulated phishing exercises. Training complements technical controls rather than replacing them. ### Vulnerability Management URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/vulnerability-management HALO vulnerability management helps businesses find, prioritize, and remediate weaknesses through scanning and coordinated remediation. Penetration testing can be included or coordinated when deeper validation is needed. ### Identity & Access Management URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/identity-access HALO identity and access management helps businesses implement MFA, single sign-on, conditional access, and least-privilege access so the right people reach the right systems — and attackers have a harder time abusing credentials. ### Incident Response & Remediation URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/incident-response HALO incident response support helps businesses contain, eradicate, and recover from security incidents, then document what happened. The focus is restoring operations safely and reducing the chance of repeat compromise — not promising that incidents cannot occur. ### Dark Web Monitoring URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/dark-web-monitoring HALO dark web monitoring scans for exposed credentials associated with your organization and alerts you when matches appear. Early warning helps teams reset passwords and harden accounts before credential stuffing becomes a larger incident. ### Zero Trust Security URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cybersecurity/zero-trust HALO helps businesses apply zero-trust principles such as continuous verification, least-privilege access, and micro-segmentation. Zero trust is a security approach, not a single product — HALO focuses on practical controls that reduce implicit trust across networks and identities. ## Cloud & Microsoft 365 Services URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud HALO cloud services help businesses plan, migrate, secure, and manage cloud platforms — especially Microsoft 365 — with attention to licensing, identity, backup, collaboration, and day-to-day administration. Local teams support Sacramento, San Diego, and Las Vegas clients, with remote cloud support available nationwide. Problems we help solve: - Licensing sprawl and unused seats - Insecure sharing and weak identity controls - Migrations that risk downtime or data loss - Collaboration tools without governance What HALO provides: - Microsoft 365 management and hardening - Cloud migration planning and execution - Cloud backup and disaster recovery - Business continuity planning - Microsoft Teams and collaboration - SharePoint and OneDrive structure - Email hosting and migration How it works: 1.

Operate with monitoring, backup, and support ### Microsoft 365 Management URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/microsoft-365 HALO Microsoft 365 management covers licensing guidance, administration, security hardening, and ongoing optimization so businesses get productive collaboration without leaving identity, sharing, and mailbox controls unmanaged. ### Cloud Migration URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/migration HALO cloud migration services help businesses plan and execute moves to cloud platforms with attention to downtime risk, data integrity, identity, and user communication. The goal is a controlled transition — not a weekend surprise. ### Cloud Backup & Disaster Recovery URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/backup-dr HALO provides business backup and disaster recovery options including onsite, offsite, HALO-hosted, and cloud-based approaches, with attention to encryption and restore testing. Exact retention and recovery objectives are confirmed for each engagement rather than published as unverified guarantees. ### Business Continuity URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/business-continuity HALO business continuity services help organizations plan how critical technology operations continue during disruption — covering continuity planning, failover considerations, and recovery readiness. Specific RTO/RPO targets are defined per engagement. ### Microsoft Teams & Collaboration URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/teams-collaboration HALO helps businesses deploy and govern Microsoft Teams with attention to structure, permissions, telephony coordination, and adoption. The goal is useful collaboration without unmanaged sprawl. ### SharePoint & OneDrive URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/sharepoint-onedrive HALO helps businesses structure SharePoint and OneDrive for intranet needs, document management, and secure file sharing — with permissions and sharing controls that reduce accidental exposure. ### Email Hosting & Migration URL: https://halomsp.com/services/cloud/email-migration HALO supports hosted email setup and cross-platform email migration so businesses can move mailboxes with planning for downtime, DNS, and user cutover communication. ## AI Services for Business URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai HALO AI services help businesses adopt AI with security as the first consideration — covering readiness assessments, governance and policy, data controls, Microsoft Copilot enablement, employee training, and shadow AI detection. HALO provides technical guidance and safeguards; it does not provide legal advice or guarantee regulatory compliance. Problems we help solve: - Employees using unsanctioned AI tools with company data - No acceptable-use policy or approval path - Copilot or chat tools enabled without permission hardening - Uncertainty about where sensitive data can go What HALO provides: - AI readiness assessment - Governance and acceptable-use policy support - AI data governance and security controls - Microsoft Copilot enablement - Adoption and employee training - Shadow AI detection and monitoring How it works: 1. Evaluate data, tooling, security, and use cases 2. Define policies, roles, and approval workflows 3. Harden platforms and permissions before broad rollout 4. Train teams for safe, productive use 5. Monitor for unsanctioned tools and drift ### AI Readiness Assessment URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai/readiness-assessment An HALO AI readiness assessment evaluates data, tooling, security, and business use cases so organizations understand where AI can create value — and where it introduces risk — before broad enablement. ### AI Governance & Policy URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai/governance-policy HALO helps organizations develop AI governance including acceptable-use policies, approval workflows, roles, and oversight. Guidance is technical and operational; it is not legal advice. ### AI Data Governance & Security URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai/data-governance HALO AI data governance helps keep sensitive business data out of inappropriate models through classification, DLP-oriented controls, and access restrictions. Security is treated as a first-order requirement for AI enablement. ### Microsoft Copilot Enablement URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai/copilot-enablement HALO Microsoft Copilot enablement covers licensing guidance, secure configuration, and rollout with permission hardening so Copilot respects existing access boundaries instead of amplifying oversharing. ### AI Adoption & Employee Training URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai/adoption-training HALO AI adoption training helps employees use approved AI tools productively and safely through change management and role-based education — reinforcing policy rather than encouraging shadow IT. ### Shadow AI Detection & Monitoring URL: https://halomsp.com/services/ai/shadow-ai HALO shadow AI detection helps organizations discover and monitor unsanctioned AI tools employees may be using, then apply policy guardrails so sensitive data is not quietly leaving approved systems. ## Connectivity Business phone, managed Wi-Fi, and SD-WAN for offices and multi-site teams. ### Business Phone & VoIP URL: https://halomsp.com/services/voip HALO business VoIP services help organizations deploy cloud phone systems with call routing and unified communications options so customers reach real people and internal calling stays reliable across locations. ### Managed Wi-Fi URL: https://halomsp.com/services/managed-wifi HALO managed Wi-Fi services design, secure, and monitor business wireless networks so staff and guests get reliable coverage without exposing corporate systems through weak wireless controls. ### SD-WAN & Business Connectivity URL: https://halomsp.com/services/sd-wan HALO SD-WAN and connectivity services help multi-site businesses manage circuits and intelligent path selection so applications stay available across locations with clearer performance and failover options. # Locations ## Sacramento, California URL: https://halomsp.com/locations/sacramento Phone: 916-225-8324 HALO MSP by Tech 2U provides managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and related business technology services from its Sacramento hub, supporting onsite work throughout the greater Sacramento area and remote clients nationwide.
