Talk with BBS

Before & after

Same closet. Same client.

During the client's office renovation we rebuilt this network closet: re-terminated, labeled, and dressed every run, so the next problem takes minutes to trace instead of hours.

The help desk is remote. On-site work like cabling, installs, and build-outs is scoped under managed IT services.

Cloud security

Protection across the platform your team lives in

Protect your users, devices, business data, and the productivity platform your team lives in, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with one managed security solution, monitored and maintained by people who know your environment.

  • Endpoint security, monitor and protect workstations from advanced threats
  • Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace security
  • Threat detection and response
  • Identity and access management

Managed help desk · Outsourced or supplemental

Outsource your help desk. Keep your people working.

BBS runs the help desk so you don't have to. Your team reaches experienced technicians who know your environment, whether we are your entire IT support or the tier-one layer that frees your internal staff for real projects.

24/7 Coverage around the clock,
every shift, not just business hours

Whether you have no IT staff, a small internal team that needs tier-one taken off its plate, or a provider that stopped answering, the help desk page covers how each arrangement works.

Managed help desk in detail

Industries we support

We learn how your business actually runs

A plant floor and a dental office fail in different ways. We support the systems each one depends on, and handle the compliance requirements only where your industry carries them.

Manufacturing

A stopped line is measured in dollars per minute. We support the network and systems your production depends on, across every shift.

Dental practices

Practice management and imaging software, operatory workstations, and the HIPAA documentation that comes with patient records.

Medical & healthcare

EHR access, imaging and diagnostic systems, and security controls aligned to HIPAA requirements.

Financial services

Client data protection, secure access for advisors, and documentation ready for examiners and auditors.

Construction & trades

Jobsite connectivity, project and estimating software, and crews who need working devices away from the office.

Professional services

Document management, client confidentiality, and secure email for legal and accounting practices.

Nonprofits

Donor data protection and volunteer accounts, planned around grant-funded budgets and lean staffing.

Property management & real estate

Multi-site offices, leasing and management platforms, and tenant information handled carefully.

Skilled trades & field services

Dispatch and scheduling software, mobile devices in the field, and technicians who cannot stop to troubleshoot.

BBS Total Compliance

Compliance without the guesswork

Not every business carries the same requirements. Where your industry does, HIPAA for medical and dental, PCI for card payments, the frameworks your clients and insurers ask about, BBS Total Compliance brings controls, assessments, policies, and documentation into one program, guided by someone who does this work daily.

  • Requirements reviewEstablish which requirements actually apply to your business.
  • Risk assessmentIdentify where your environment falls short, documented properly.
  • Controls and remediationClose the gaps in priority order.
  • Policies and documentationEvidence kept current instead of rebuilt in a panic.

Our approach

You should know who is fixing it

Larger providers route you to whoever is free. We build relationships instead, because someone who already understands your environment resolves problems faster than someone reading your history for the first time.

Backup & business continuity

A backup nobody has tested is a hope, not a plan

Most businesses discover their backup was incomplete on the day they needed it. We protect the data, verify it can be restored, and define what happens in the hours after something fails.
