Automated OS patching, enterprise antivirus, ransomware protection, and daily cloud backup — deployed to every computer in your office, managed remotely. Starting at $39/device/mo.
What is EasyWayIT Shield?
Most small businesses have the same problem: patches that haven't run in months, antivirus that expired quietly, and no backup anyone has actually tested — not because they're careless, but because nobody set it up to run itself.
Shield changes that. We deploy a lightweight agent to every computer, configure everything to run automatically, and monitor the results. You get a monthly health report and an alert if anything needs human attention.
It's not full managed IT — it's the foundation layer that every business should have, at a price point that makes sense even for teams of 3–5 people.
Windows updates and third-party software — tested and deployed on a managed schedule
Enterprise-grade behavioral threat detection — built to catch ransomware behavior early, not just clean up after
Continuous monitoring of your patch status, protection status, and threat detections — reported on schedule. Backups start with Complete.
Set up once. We monitor continuously. You stay focused on your business.
Windows patches, third-party software, and driver updates run on a managed schedule — applied without disrupting your team's workday.
Behavioral threat detection that identifies ransomware by what it does, not just what it is, so an attack can be caught and isolated in progress rather than only after the fact. No endpoint product stops every attack, which is why Shield pairs detection with tested backups.
Daily image-based backups of every protected computer, stored encrypted in the cloud. Back up in hours — not days — after a failure or attack.
Email, OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint backed up daily. Microsoft does not back up your M365 data — this fills the gap your insurer wants closed.

Add-on — FTC Safeguards Compliance Bundle
Shield covers the technical controls. The FTC Safeguards Rule also requires a Written Information Security Program (WISP), risk assessment, and incident response plan. We prepare all three — written, documented, and ready for your compliance file.
Shield is automated — it doesn't include human support, network management, or compliance documentation. Here's what happens when you need those things.
Shield's monitoring catches most issues early. When a repair is needed, we quote it transparently — or upgrade to Full Managed IT for unlimited support included.
New hire setup, departing employee account closure, printer or device configuration — quoted flat rate per device. No surprises.
Network management requires hands-on oversight — firmware, configuration, troubleshooting. Available exclusively with Full Managed IT at $200/site/month.
Full Managed IT: $155/device/month + $200/site. Unlimited support, network management, M365 admin, compliance documentation, and QBRs. Your Shield subscription credits toward your first month.
No long-term contract. Shield is month-to-month. Give us 30 days notice to cancel — we'll remove our software cleanly and document everything we had deployed.
Shield is automated protection — it runs itself and we alert you when something needs attention. Full Managed IT includes all of that plus unlimited helpdesk support, proactive strategy sessions, and a dedicated team that handles everything IT-related. Shield is the right starting point if you're not ready for full managed IT. See a full reactive vs. proactive comparison.
We deploy a lightweight agent to each computer remotely — typically 15–30 minutes per machine, done after hours so nobody is interrupted. Most clients are fully onboarded within one business day.
No. Microsoft's service agreement explicitly states they are not responsible for data loss. If an employee accidentally deletes a mailbox, or ransomware encrypts your SharePoint, Microsoft cannot restore it. Shield includes a third-party M365 backup, so your email and files can be restored from backup independently of Microsoft.
We adjust your plan at the next billing cycle. Add computers mid-month and we prorate the difference. Remove computers and we adjust down at renewal.
Yes. Most cyber insurers now require documented evidence of endpoint protection, backup, and patch management — exactly what Shield provides. Shield Pro includes a written security posture summary you can submit with your insurance application.
We deploy remotely, after hours. Your team shows up in the morning with every computer protected. Takes less than a day.
No contracts. Month-to-month. Tampa Bay & St. Petersburg businesses.
