Managed IT, Network Security & Compliance Services

Cybersecurity isn’t just a firewall or antivirus—it’s a complete, ongoing strategy. To protect your business, you need a combination of enterprise-grade equipment like firewalls, switches, and access points, internal policies, staff training, and proper documentation. One of the key components is FortiGuard, a powerful threat intelligence platform from Fortinet that provides 24/7 protection against malware, phishing, ransomware, and more. It constantly updates your firewall to defend your business from emerging threats in real time.

But equipment alone isn’t enough. Cybersecurity isn’t something you install and forget—it’s a way of doing things. It requires awareness, participation, and discipline at every level of your organization. That’s why Microtalk builds long-term partnerships, not just vendor-client agreements. A secure business starts when everyone plays a role in protecting it. Explore our Security Services.

Most networks seem fine—until a breach exposes what was missed. Our Cyber Threat Assessment uses a temporary, professionally configured Fortinet firewall to silently monitor your network without disrupting your business. Within days, you’ll get a detailed, visual report showing hidden risks, malware activity, unauthorized access, remote logins, bandwidth misuse, and more. It reveals what your current tools may be missing—and helps you fix it fast.

Yes—especially if you want better performance, privacy, and protection. The firewall your ISP provides or the router from the store isn’t built for business security. Microtalk installs NGFW solutions that replace those devices and add real-time threat detection, web filtering, secure remote access, and application control. These are the tools businesses need to stay ahead of modern threats. See our Firewall Solutions.

Yes. Microtalk offers one-time or on-demand IT support for common office issues like connectivity, computers, printers, software errors, and more. We assist clients across Maryland and the DMV region. Get support now.

But having a Managed IT relationship brings added value: we proactively monitor your systems, document your environment, and reduce downtime. When we know your infrastructure and your people, we spend less time figuring things out and more time solving problems. Managed clients save time, reduce risk, and often save money long-term.

Absolutely. We install a temporary FortiGate appliance configured just for diagnostics. It listens passively for a few days and then generates a full Fortinet-powered report showing malware, shadow IT, access patterns, bandwidth spikes, and more. This isn’t a generic install—it’s purpose-built for security visibility. Learn more about CTAP.

The insights go far beyond just security. You’ll see risky behavior, underperforming areas, and policy gaps that can impact performance and compliance. It’s one of the most valuable tools we offer—especially if you haven’t done a network audit in the past year.

Our primary service is Managed IT—a comprehensive plan that includes HIPAA-friendly support, monitoring, security, and documentation. We help providers prepare for audits, reduce liability, and ensure continuity of care. We offer email security, endpoint protection, policy enforcement, and more—all tailored to the unique needs of healthcare.

We also offer our HIPAA Security Assessment as a standalone service. It provides full network visibility and a Fortinet-based compliance overview, even if you’re not ready for full IT support. You stay in control, but gain expert insight into where your risks are and how to address them.

Yes—we regularly support organizations with in-house or third-party IT. We provide Smart Hands for on-site deployment, network installation, cabling, and remote troubleshooting. Whether you need a half-day technician, equipment setup, or design assistance, Microtalk can act as a trusted extension of your existing IT resources. No politics, just professional support when and where it’s needed.

Yes—we specialize in secure Work-from-Anywhere setups for hybrid teams, multi-location offices, and remote employees.

You’ll be able to access internal apps, files, desktops, or servers securely—with full control over who connects and when. See Work from Anywhere Solutions.

It’s very real—and much closer to home than most realize. Small and mid-sized businesses are frequent targets for cybercriminals because of limited resources or weak policies. A stolen laptop, misconfigured email, or outdated software can lead to serious consequences including fines, data loss, and reputation damage.
