Managed IT Services Santa Monica
Managed IT and in-house 24/7 security operations for Santa Monica’s technology companies, healthcare organizations, and professional firms.
Santa Monica companies hit a security wall earlier than most: the first enterprise customer who asks for a SOC 2 report, the first hospital partner who asks for a HIPAA risk analysis, the first investor who asks about data protection during diligence. Hiring a security team at 60 people is not realistic. Having an IT partner that already operates at that standard, and runs your environment to it from day one, is.

Silicon Beach grew up, and its IT needs to as well
Santa Monica’s business geography is compact and distinct: the office campuses along Olympic Boulevard and Colorado Avenue (the Water Garden, Colorado Center, and the Bergamot area around the Expo Line), Downtown Santa Monica and Ocean Avenue, Main Street and Ocean Park, and the Wilshire Boulevard medical and professional corridor. Snap is headquartered here, and the ecosystem around it includes health technology, advertising technology, consumer software, gaming, and media companies, along with the venture firms, law firms, and agencies that serve them. Providence Saint John’s Health Center and UCLA Health’s Santa Monica campus anchor a dense cluster of medical groups and specialty practices.
For technology companies, the trigger is almost always SOC 2. An enterprise prospect’s procurement team will not sign without it, and a SOC 2 Type II report requires controls operating over months: MFA, device management, endpoint protection, logging, access reviews, offboarding, and vendor management. For healthcare organizations, HIPAA requires the same categories under different names. We implement those controls as the default configuration of every environment we manage, so the audit becomes a documentation exercise and your compliance platform receives evidence from a managed environment instead of a patchwork.
Santa Monica is also the most Mac-centric market we serve. Google Workspace is as common as Microsoft 365, and a 100-person company may have grown to that size with no central device management at all. We manage both platforms as first-class citizens: one identity and device management layer across Mac and Windows, endpoint detection and response on every Mac and PC, independent backup for either productivity suite, and offboarding that actually revokes access the day someone leaves.
Who provides managed IT services in Santa Monica?
CyberDuo provides managed IT services in Santa Monica from its Los Angeles headquarters in Glendale. It is a SOC 2 Type II attested managed service provider with a 24/7 helpdesk and in-house security operations center, serving Santa Monica technology companies, healthcare organizations, and professional firms, with or without an internal IT hire. CyberDuo manages Mac and Windows fleets and both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and implements the controls that support SOC 2 and HIPAA programs, on fully managed or co-managed terms.
The moments that bring Santa Monica companies to us
Growth companies change IT providers when the next stage of the business exposes the last one.
Procurement asked for a SOC 2 report
An enterprise deal is blocked until the company can show a SOC 2 Type II report. We implement and operate the controls auditors test, and your compliance platform (Vanta, Drata, or similar) pulls evidence from a managed environment instead of from a founder’s laptop.
The IT person is a founder or the office manager
There is no device management, passwords are shared in a spreadsheet, and laptops from departed employees were never recovered. We onboard with identity, MDM, endpoint protection, and offboarding workflows, and we do it without taking the team offline.
A hospital partner or payer audit found gaps
A medical group’s partner audit flagged missing encryption, audit logging, or access controls. We implement the HIPAA technical safeguards, document them, and sign the business associate agreement so the next audit is uneventful.

Santa Monica managed IT services: frequently asked questions
How much do managed IT services cost in Santa Monica?
Across Los Angeles, comprehensive managed IT runs $125 to $250 per user per month in 2026, and Santa Monica companies fall within that range. Mac fleets and Google Workspace do not change the price by themselves; compliance scope (SOC 2 or HIPAA evidence) and the number of locations do. Our pricing includes the security stack rather than selling it as add-ons, and co-managed engagements are scoped separately. See our Los Angeles pricing guide.
Can you help us get SOC 2 compliant?
We implement and operate the technical controls a SOC 2 audit tests, feed evidence into your compliance platform, and work directly with your auditor on questions about the environment. We do not issue the report; an independent CPA firm does. Our role is to make sure the controls are real, continuous, and documented when the audit window opens.
Do you support Google Workspace, or only Microsoft 365?
Both, fully. For Google Workspace we handle single sign-on, context-aware access, phishing protection, independent backup, and administrative hygiene. Many Santa Monica clients run Workspace for email and Microsoft 365 for a finance team, and we manage the mix without forcing a migration.
How do you manage a Mac-heavy fleet?
With a Mac-native identity and device management platform for MFA and policy, zero-touch enrollment for new hires, enforced FileVault, endpoint detection and response for macOS, and offboarding that revokes access and locks the device the day someone leaves. Jamf is supported where a company already standardized on it.
How fast can you be onsite in Santa Monica?
Same day. The drive from our headquarters takes 35 to 50 minutes depending on the hour, and companies that prefer a predictable presence schedule a recurring onsite day. Nearly everything is resolved remotely within minutes; onsite visits cover hardware, office moves, and planned projects.
What happens when we double headcount in six months?
The environment is built for it. Identity, device enrollment, and security policies are standardized, so onboarding fifty new hires is a logistics exercise rather than a project, and our pricing scales per user. We have supported Santa Monica clients through funding rounds, office moves, and acquisitions.
We just made our first IT hire. Can CyberDuo work alongside them instead of replacing them?
Yes, and that is a common structure for Santa Monica companies. Your IT lead keeps applications, vendors, and the day-to-day relationship with the team; we add the 24/7 helpdesk, the security operations center, device and identity management, and senior engineers for escalations and compliance work, with responsibilities written into the agreement.
Can we hire you for a one-time project, such as a SOC 2 remediation sprint?
No. Projects, including compliance remediation, are delivered within a managed or co-managed engagement so that the controls keep operating after the sprint ends, which is what the audit actually tests. Small projects ride along at no extra charge; large ones become statements of work within the engagement.
