Co-Managed IT Services in Tucker, Georgia

Co-Managed IT Services in Tucker, GA: Extend Your Internal IT Team Without Replacing It

Tucker businesses in DeKalb County often reach a breaking point where one internal IT person or a small team cannot keep up with patching cycles, security monitoring, and user support simultaneously. COMNEXIA's co-managed IT service is built for exactly that gap. Rather than displacing your existing IT staff, COMNEXIA layers in specific capabilities, tooling, and round-the-clock oversight so your team handles what they know best while we cover the rest. We have operated out of Roswell, GA since 1991 and hold 35 years of documented process behind every engagement.

What Co-Managed IT Actually Means for a Tucker Business

Co-managed IT is a defined division of responsibilities, not a vague partnership. Before any work begins, COMNEXIA produces a written scope-of-work matrix that assigns each function (patch management, endpoint security, help-desk tier escalation, backup verification) to either your team or ours. There is no ambiguity about who holds the ticket when a workstation misses a patch or a conditional-access policy blocks a user at 7 a.m.

A common Tucker scenario: your internal IT manager handles procurement, vendor calls, and on-site hardware, but has no bandwidth to monitor security alerts or maintain a consistent patch window. COMNEXIA deploys NinjaOne as the RMM layer, configures automated patch policies for Windows endpoints and third-party applications, and generates a monthly patch-compliance report your IT manager can present to ownership. Your manager stays in control of the environment; COMNEXIA provides the tooling, the monitoring, and the after-hours coverage.

Security-First Controls COMNEXIA Brings to the Engagement

Every co-managed engagement starts with a security baseline audit before we touch a single policy. COMNEXIA evaluates your Microsoft Entra ID conditional-access policies, checks whether MFA is enforced on all cloud applications, and confirms that legacy authentication protocols are blocked at the tenant level. If SentinelOne EDR is not deployed across endpoints, we scope and deploy it as part of onboarding, configured with the Vigilance MDR response module so threats are contained without waiting for a human approval chain.

• Microsoft Entra ID conditional-access policy review and remediation, including named-location restrictions and sign-in risk policies
• SentinelOne EDR deployment with policy sets tuned to your operating environment (not a default template left unchanged)
• NinjaOne RMM configured with patch approval workflows, automated remediation scripts, and alerting routed to COMNEXIA's help desk
• DNS-layer filtering to block malicious domains before a connection is established
• Documented offboarding checklist so that when an employee leaves, account deprovisioning in Entra ID, email, and line-of-business applications happens within one business hour
• Monthly security posture report delivered to your IT lead with patch compliance percentage, open vulnerabilities ranked by CVSS score, and EDR alert summary

Co-Managed IT for Tucker Auto Dealerships

Dealerships operating Reynolds and Reynolds, CDK Global, or Dealertrack DMS platforms face a specific co-managed challenge: those DMS vendors have their own support relationships, and your internal IT contact often ends up caught between the DMS vendor and your broader network environment. COMNEXIA has direct experience coordinating with CDK Global and Reynolds and Reynolds support channels, and we document exactly which network segments, firewall rules, and user permissions each DMS requires so your internal IT staff has a reference they can act on during a vendor call.

The FTC Safeguards Rule, as updated and enforced through the FTC's Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (16 CFR Part 314), requires auto dealerships to maintain a written information security program, designate a qualified individual, conduct annual risk assessments, and implement specific technical safeguards including encryption, MFA, and continuous monitoring. COMNEXIA's co-managed service produces the documentation artifacts (risk assessment records, system inventory, access control logs) that satisfy the Safeguards Rule's recordkeeping requirements, and your internal IT lead retains the qualified-individual designation with COMNEXIA as the operational support behind that role.

Onboarding Process and What Your IT Team Experiences

Onboarding follows a documented 30-day process. Week one covers environment discovery: Active Directory or Entra ID audit, endpoint inventory via NinjaOne agent deployment, and network diagram validation. Week two addresses gap remediation: missing patches applied, EDR gaps closed, conditional-access policies corrected. Week three establishes ticketing integration, connecting COMNEXIA's help desk to your existing system or standing up a shared ConnectWise Manage board so your IT manager sees every ticket in real time. Week four is a live handoff review where COMNEXIA and your IT lead walk through the scope matrix and confirm escalation paths.
