Co-Managed IT for Greenville, Ohio Businesses
If your Greenville company already has an internal IT person or a small team, co-managed IT fills the gaps they cannot cover alone: 24/7 monitoring, enterprise-grade security tooling, compliance documentation, and specialized expertise that is cost-prohibitive to hire full-time. COMNEXIA, a security-first MSP with 35 years in business, delivers this model remotely to businesses across the Miami Valley, including Darke County manufacturers, professional services firms, and automotive dealerships in the Greenville area.
Co-managed IT is not outsourcing your IT department. It is a structured partnership where your internal staff retains ownership of day-to-day user relationships while COMNEXIA owns the security stack, patch pipeline, and after-hours coverage. The division of responsibilities is documented in writing before onboarding begins.
What COMNEXIA Manages in a Co-Managed Engagement
Remote Monitoring and Patch Management
COMNEXIA deploys NinjaOne as the RMM (remote monitoring and management) agent on every enrolled endpoint. NinjaOne checks patch compliance continuously and pushes approved Windows, third-party application, and firmware updates on a defined schedule, typically within 14 days of a critical patch release. Your internal IT staff can view the same dashboard, assign tickets, and escalate to COMNEXIA engineers without duplicating work.
Endpoint Security: SentinelOne EDR
Every managed endpoint runs SentinelOne Singularity, a next-generation EDR (endpoint detection and response) platform that uses behavioral AI to detect threats that signature-based antivirus misses. COMNEXIA configures SentinelOne in Active EDR mode, which means the agent rolls back malicious changes autonomously without waiting for a human to approve remediation. For a Greenville business whose internal IT team works business hours only, this autonomous response matters at 2 a.m.
Identity and Conditional Access
COMNEXIA configures Microsoft Entra ID conditional access policies that require multi-factor authentication, block legacy authentication protocols, and restrict access by device compliance state. Named locations can be scoped to Ohio-based IP ranges to flag anomalous sign-ins from outside the region. Your internal team keeps admin rights; COMNEXIA documents every policy change in a shared configuration log.
Help Desk and Ticketing
End users in Greenville submit tickets through a branded portal or by calling (877) 600-6550. COMNEXIA’s help desk handles Tier 2 and Tier 3 escalations that exceed your internal team’s bandwidth. Every ticket is tracked, categorized by root cause, and included in a monthly report so your IT lead can see where recurring problems are concentrated, whether that is a specific application, a device model, or a user group.
Monthly Reporting
Each month, COMNEXIA delivers a report covering patch compliance percentage, open vs. closed tickets by category, SentinelOne threat detections, and any Entra ID conditional access alerts. This report is formatted to support internal IT reviews and, where required, compliance audits.
Co-Managed IT for Greenville-Area Auto Dealerships
Automotive dealerships in Ohio face a specific compliance obligation: the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) requires dealerships that qualify as financial institutions to maintain a written information security program, designate a qualified individual to oversee it, and conduct annual risk assessments, among other requirements. Most single-point dealerships in Darke County do not have the internal staff to satisfy every requirement on their own.
COMNEXIA has direct experience supporting dealerships running CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, and Dealertrack DMS environments. In a co-managed model, your internal IT or office manager handles DMS user provisioning and printer support while COMNEXIA owns the controls that the FTC Safeguards Rule audits most closely: encryption of customer nonpublic personal information at rest and in transit, MFA enforcement via Entra ID, continuous monitoring through SentinelOne, and the written risk assessment documentation that designates your security program oversight.
COMNEXIA also monitors for network segmentation gaps between the DMS environment and general business traffic, a common finding in dealership environments where a single flat network puts customer financial data adjacent to the guest Wi-Fi.
What the Onboarding Process Looks Like
- Discovery call to map your current internal IT responsibilities, tools in use, and gaps.
- Written responsibility matrix (RACI format) that specifies exactly which tasks belong to your team and which belong to COMNEXIA.
- NinjaOne and SentinelOne agent deployment to all endpoints, completed remotely.
- Entra ID conditional access policy review and hardening, documented with before/after screenshots.
- First monthly report delivered 30 days after go-live, establishing baseline metrics.
