    01

    Managed IT Services

    Core support questions businesses ask before choosing a reliable managed IT partner.

    What exactly does managed IT include?
    Managed IT includes help desk support, system monitoring, patching, proactive maintenance, troubleshooting, and ongoing technology management. Algorsoft helps keep your devices, users, systems, and business technology running smoothly under one managed support plan. Book a consultation.
    How much does managed IT cost per month?
    Managed IT pricing usually depends on the number of users, devices, locations, and the level of support your business needs. Algorsoft can review your current setup and provide a clear monthly support plan based on your environment. Request a quote.
    Is support available 24/7 or only during business hours?
    Support coverage depends on your selected service plan. Algorsoft can provide standard business-hours support as well as after-hours or emergency support options for businesses that need extended availability. Ask about support options.
    How fast do you respond when something breaks?
    Response time depends on the severity of the issue. Critical problems such as outages, security incidents, or business-stopping failures are prioritized first, while lower-priority requests are handled according to the agreed support level. Discuss response times.
    Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
    Algorsoft can explain the available agreement options before you commit. The goal is to keep service terms clear, predictable, and aligned with your business requirements. Talk to our team.
    What happens to my current IT person or vendor?
    Algorsoft can work as your full IT department or support your existing IT person through a co-managed IT model. This gives your business extra expertise, coverage, and security without forcing an unnecessary transition. Explore co-managed IT.
    02

    Cybersecurity & Managed Security

    Security-focused answers about ransomware protection, phishing prevention, monitoring, compliance, and incident response.

    How do you protect us from ransomware and phishing?
    Algorsoft helps reduce ransomware and phishing risk through endpoint protection, email security, multi-factor authentication, monitoring, patch management, and employee awareness. The focus is prevention first, with clear response steps if a threat is detected. Schedule a security review.
    Do you offer security awareness training for staff?
    Yes. Security awareness training helps employees recognize phishing emails, suspicious links, weak passwords, and common social engineering attacks. It is one of the most practical ways to reduce human-error security risks. Ask about staff training.
    What is included in your basic security stack?
    A basic security stack may include antivirus or EDR, MFA, firewall management, monitoring, system patching, email protection, and backup safeguards. Algorsoft can recommend the right stack based on your company size, industry, and risk level. Review your security stack.
    Can you help us meet compliance requirements?
    Algorsoft can help businesses improve security practices and prepare for compliance needs such as HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, SOC 2, or other industry requirements. The exact scope depends on your business type, systems, and regulatory obligations. Start a compliance discussion.
    Do you provide security assessments or vCISO support?
    Algorsoft can help assess your current security posture, identify gaps, and provide practical recommendations. For businesses needing strategic security leadership, vCISO-style guidance can help with policies, risk management, and security planning. Request an assessment.
    What do you do if we get breached?
    If a breach occurs, the first steps are containment, investigation, protection of critical systems, recovery, and clear communication. Algorsoft can help coordinate incident response, restore operations, and recommend steps to reduce future risk. Prepare an incident plan.
    03

    Cloud & Microsoft 365 Services

    Helpful answers about cloud migration, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cloud licensing, and secure remote work.

    Can you move us to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
    Yes. Algorsoft can help migrate email, files, users, and business workflows to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. The migration is planned carefully to reduce disruption and keep your team productive. Plan your cloud migration.
    Will migration cause downtime or data loss?
    A properly planned migration is designed to minimize downtime and protect your data. Algorsoft reviews your current environment, prepares the migration path, verifies data movement, and supports users during the transition. Discuss migration safety.
    Do you manage our cloud licenses and renewals?
    Yes. Algorsoft can help manage cloud licensing, renewals, user access, and plan optimization so your business is not paying for unused or incorrect licenses. Review your licenses.
    Is our data backed up if it is already in the cloud?
    Cloud storage does not automatically mean complete backup protection. Services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace still need backup planning for accidental deletion, user mistakes, ransomware, and retention needs. Check your cloud backup plan.
    Can you set up secure remote or hybrid work access?
    Yes. Algorsoft can help configure secure remote access, MFA, VPN or cloud-based access controls, device policies, and collaboration tools for hybrid teams. Secure your remote team.
    04

    Backup & Disaster Recovery

    Important answers about backup frequency, recovery speed, restore testing, email backup, and business continuity.

    How often is my data backed up?
    Backup frequency depends on your business requirements and how much data you can afford to lose between backups. Algorsoft can recommend a backup schedule based on your systems, risk level, and recovery goals. Build a backup plan.
    If our server dies, how fast can we be running again?
    Recovery speed depends on your disaster recovery setup, backup type, server size, and recovery target. Algorsoft can help define your RTO and RPO in plain English so you know what to expect before an emergency happens. Review recovery options.
    Are backups tested, or are they just running?
    Backups should be tested, not just assumed to work. Algorsoft can help verify backup health, test restores, and confirm that your data can actually be recovered when needed. Test your backups.
    Do you back up Microsoft 365 and email separately?
    Yes. Microsoft 365 and email backup can be handled separately depending on your requirements. This helps protect mailboxes, files, and collaboration data from deletion, account issues, or security incidents. Protect your email data.
    05

    Network & Infrastructure

    Practical answers about Wi-Fi, firewalls, switches, routers, multiple locations, vendor support, and VoIP.

    Can you fix our slow Wi-Fi or network?
    Yes. Algorsoft can troubleshoot slow Wi-Fi, weak coverage, unstable connections, network bottlenecks, and device configuration issues. The goal is to identify the real cause instead of applying temporary fixes. Get network help.
    Do you manage firewalls, switches, and routers?
    Yes. Algorsoft can help configure, monitor, and manage firewalls, switches, routers, and related network infrastructure to improve security, reliability, and performance. Discuss infrastructure support.
    Can you support multiple office locations or remote staff?
    Yes. Algorsoft can support businesses with multiple offices, distributed teams, and remote workers. This includes secure access, endpoint management, cloud tools, and network planning across locations. Support multiple locations.
    Will you handle our internet or VoIP phone vendors for us?
    Algorsoft can coordinate with internet, phone, VoIP, and technology vendors to reduce the burden on your internal team. This helps resolve technical issues faster and keeps accountability clear. Ask about vendor management.

    Getting Started & Onboarding

    Simple answers to help new clients understand the first step, onboarding timeline, business fit, and service process.

    The first step is a discovery call or IT assessment. Algorsoft reviews your current environment, pain points, risks, and business goals before recommending the right support plan. Book your first conversation.
    How long does onboarding take?
    Onboarding time depends on the number of users, devices, systems, and locations. Algorsoft will explain the expected timeline after reviewing your current setup. Start onboarding.
    Do you offer a free IT assessment or audit?
    Algorsoft can provide an initial consultation or assessment to understand your IT environment and identify improvement areas. This helps your business make a more informed decision before choosing a service plan. Request an assessment.
    What size businesses do you typically work with?
    Algorsoft is a strong fit for small and medium-sized businesses that need reliable IT support, cybersecurity, cloud management, and proactive technology guidance without building a large internal IT department. See if we are a fit.
