Managed IT Services in Redding, CA

What's included in our managed IT plan

Managed IT is more than a help desk. We package the support, security, and strategy your business needs into one predictable monthly subscription — no surprise invoices, no nickel-and-diming.

• Help desk & user support — fast response from people who know your environment.
• 24/7 monitoring & alerting — we see issues before your team does.
• Patch management & updates — operating systems, apps, and firmware kept current.
• Endpoint security — antivirus, EDR, and threat detection across every device.
• Automated backups & recovery testing — so when something goes wrong, you can actually restore.
• Vendor management — we deal with your ISP, line-of-business app vendors, and hardware suppliers.
• Documentation & asset tracking — your environment, written down and kept current.
• Strategic planning — quarterly reviews and an IT roadmap aligned with your business goals.

Why Redding businesses choose Candor

You've worked with the big national MSPs, and you know the drill — long ticket queues, rotating account managers, jargon-heavy reports, and the feeling that you're a number on a spreadsheet.

We do it differently:

• Local and accountable. We're based in Redding. When something matters, you talk to the person who can make it happen.
• One relationship. Same team, same context. You don't re-explain your environment every time you open a ticket.
• Plain English. We translate IT into business outcomes — uptime, productivity, risk — not acronyms.
• Right-sized. You get enterprise-grade tools and processes scoped to a small business budget.
• No long lock-ins. We earn the relationship every month. If we're not delivering, you have an exit.
