Co-Managed Cybersecurity for Manufacturers
Give Your IT Team the Backup They Need to Keep Production Safe
Your internal IT team is doing everything they can to keep systems running. But with growing cyber threats, increasing compliance demands, and nonstop production schedules, it's impossible to watch everything 24/7.
Superior Computing Solutions gives you co-managed cybersecurity designed specifically for furniture manufacturers and their suppliers in North Carolina and South Central Virginia — so your IT team finally has the support they need.
Why Co-Managed Cybersecurity?
You don't need to replace your internal IT team.
You need to support them, protect them, and give them backup.
Without co-managed cybersecurity, your IT team is:
- Handling security, helpdesk, projects, vendors, and emergencies
- Struggling to keep up with patching, monitoring, and compliance
- Hoping nothing slips through the cracks at 2am
- Carrying the blame if something goes wrong
With co-managed cybersecurity from Superior Computing Solutions, your IT team gets:
- 24/7 monitoring of critical systems and security events
- Extra eyes and hands to respond to alerts and potential threats
- Compliance support for customer questionnaires and insurance requirements
- Documented reporting leadership can understand and trust
Who This Service Is For
Our co-managed cybersecurity service is built for:
- Furniture manufacturers and furniture-industry suppliers
- Located in North Carolina and South Central Virginia
- With 1–3 internal IT staff (IT Manager, SysAdmin, or small IT team)
- Who are responsible for:
- ERP systems
- Office and plant networks
- CNC and production equipment
- Backups, security, and user support
- And are worried about cyber risk, compliance, or production downtime
If that sounds like you, co-managed cybersecurity is a perfect fit.
The Problems We Help You Solve
1. Overwhelmed Internal IT
Too many alerts, tickets, and projects — not enough people.
We help by sharing the load, especially around security, monitoring, and compliance tasks.
2. Ransomware & Cyber Threats Targeting Manufacturers
Legacy systems, shared IT/OT networks, and vendor remote access all create risk.
We help by:
- Watching for suspicious activity 24/7
- Identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do
- Helping contain and respond quickly if something goes wrong
3. Growing Compliance & Customer Demands
Customer security questionnaires. Cyber insurance renewals. Audit requirements.
We help by:
- Providing evidence, reports, and documentation
- Helping you align to common frameworks (like NIST/CIS-style controls)
- Making it easier to prove you're taking security seriously
4. Limited Visibility and Reporting
Leadership wants answers. IT wants clarity. Everyone wants less guesswork.
We help by:
- Delivering clear security reports
- Highlighting risk in plain language
- Showing trendlines and improvements over time

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you replace our IT team?
No. Our co-managed approach is built specifically for companies that already have internal IT. We come alongside your team to provide cybersecurity, monitoring, and compliance support — not to take their jobs.
Can you work with our existing tools?
In many cases, yes. We can integrate with or gradually transition from your current tools. During the assessment, we'll review what you have and recommend how to get the best coverage.
What if we've never had a formal cybersecurity program?
That's more common than you think. We meet you where you are and help you build a realistic, phased plan that aligns with your production needs and budget.
Do you understand manufacturing environments?
Yes. We specialize in manufacturers and their suppliers — especially in the furniture industry in North Carolina and South Central Virginia. We understand the tension between uptime and security, and we design services around that reality.
How long does it take to get started?
After the discovery call and assessment, we typically start rolling out monitoring and co-managed services in phases, focusing first on your highest-risk areas.
Ready to Give Your IT Team the Backup They Deserve?
Your IT team shouldn't have to carry the full weight of cybersecurity and compliance while also keeping production running.
Let's give them the backup, visibility, and support they need.
