From helpdesk support to virtual CIO advisory - our managed IT services give you a fully staffed IT department at a predictable flat-rate cost, with an average 3-minute response time and guaranteed SLAs.
Managing technology in-house is expensive, unpredictable, and increasingly complex. Dastute's Managed IT Services give you access to a team of certified specialists across cybersecurity, cloud, networking, and software - all under one predictable monthly fee. We proactively monitor, maintain, and optimise your entire IT environment so issues are resolved before users notice them.
Multi-channel support (phone, email, chat) with 3-minute average response time and dedicated account engineers.
Real-time infrastructure monitoring with automated alerting, anomaly detection, and pre-emptive remediation.
A dedicated senior technology strategist aligned with your business goals, attending board meetings and driving your IT roadmap.
Automated and scheduled patching across servers, endpoints, and applications to keep systems secure and performant.
Annual IT roadmaps, technology refresh planning, and budget forecasting to eliminate surprise capital expenditure.
Our managed IT service is not a helpdesk bolt-on. It's a complete, co-managed IT department delivering proactive support, strategic leadership, and enterprise tooling at an SME price.
Multi-tier helpdesk support available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year via phone, email, and live chat. Average 3-minute response time. Dedicated engineers assigned to your account who know your environment — no scripted call centres, no knowledge gap every time you call.
Real-time monitoring of servers, networks, endpoints, and cloud resources using enterprise-grade RMM (Remote Monitoring & Management) tools. Automated anomaly detection and pre-emptive remediation resolve 70% of issues before users are impacted — shifting your IT from reactive chaos to predictable reliability.
A dedicated senior technology strategist attends your leadership and board meetings, builds your annual IT roadmap, manages vendor relationships, and aligns your technology investments with business objectives. The strategic clarity of a full-time CIO at a fraction of the cost — typically saving £80,000–£150,000 per year versus an in-house hire.
Enterprise endpoint detection and response (EDR) across every laptop, desktop, server, and mobile device in your organisation — powered by CrowdStrike or SentinelOne. Real-time threat detection, automated quarantine, and full forensic investigation capabilities ensure your endpoints never become the entry point for a breach.
Automated and scheduled patching across all operating systems, applications, firmware, and network devices — keeping your estate current without disrupting operations. Monthly vulnerability scan reports identify unpatched risks before attackers do, with risk-rated remediation priorities linked to your change management process.
Automated daily backups with encrypted off-site replication and point-in-time recovery for servers, Microsoft 365, and cloud workloads. Defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) with quarterly DR tests — so when the worst happens, you recover in hours, not days.
Transparent reporting and strategic outputs every month.
Monthly executive reports covering uptime metrics, incidents resolved, patch status, security alerts, and SLA performance.
Annual strategic IT plan aligned with your business objectives, including technology refresh schedules and investment priorities.
Documented security posture assessment, endpoint protection status, and vulnerability management summary.
Enterprise-grade tooling for monitoring, security, and management.
Seamless transition to fully managed IT in 2-4 weeks.
Comprehensive discovery of all IT assets, systems, users, and existing contracts.
Install monitoring agents, endpoint protection, backup clients, and management tooling.
Team introductions, escalation paths configured, documentation created, and SLAs agreed.
24/7 monitoring live, helpdesk active, monthly reporting commenced, and vCIO engaged.
We understand the compliance, uptime, and data protection requirements unique to your industry.
Hundreds of businesses have made the switch. Here is exactly what they get that they couldn't find elsewhere.
Industry average response time is 4+ hours. Ours is 3 minutes. We measure it on every ticket, report it every month, and are contractually committed to it in our SLA. When your team is down, minutes matter — and we take that seriously.
The average UK SME spends £85,000–£120,000 per year on a 2-person in-house IT team — with gaps in coverage, expertise, and strategic leadership. Our fully-staffed managed service typically delivers the same capability for 40-60% less, with broader expertise included.
Our proactive monitoring resolves 70% of issues automatically before any user is affected. The remaining 30% are triaged and escalated before they become outages. You get monthly reports showing exactly what was detected, resolved, and prevented — full transparency, no surprises.
You don't get a generic helpdesk number routed to whoever is available. You get a named account engineer who knows your systems, your team, your quirks, and your priorities. Continuity of knowledge means faster resolution and better service — every time.
Every managed IT engagement includes enterprise endpoint protection (EDR), patch management, Microsoft 365 security hardening, and monthly vulnerability reporting as standard. Security is not an upsell — it is foundational to everything we manage.
We don't just promise uptime and response times — we put them in the contract and report against them monthly. If we miss an SLA, you know about it and we are accountable. That level of transparency is rare in managed IT — and it's why our client retention rate exceeds 94%.
"Since switching to Dastute managed IT, our ticket resolution time dropped from 4 hours to under 20 minutes."
"The vCIO service is exceptional. They attend our monthly board meetings and genuinely understand our growth plans."
"Flat-rate pricing means no surprises. We budgeted accurately for the first time in 5 years."
Managed IT is a proactive, ongoing service where we monitor, maintain, and support your technology continuously - preventing problems before they happen. Break-fix is reactive (you call when something breaks). Managed IT is significantly more cost-effective and reliable.
A vCIO is a senior technology strategist who acts as your Chief Information Officer without the full-time salary. They attend leadership meetings, align your IT investments with business strategy, and ensure your technology supports your growth. Ideal for SMEs that need strategic IT leadership but can't justify a full-time CIO.
Our average response time is 3 minutes. We operate a 24/7/365 helpdesk with dedicated engineers assigned to your account - ensuring rapid triage and escalation for all incidents.
We offer predictable flat-rate monthly pricing based on the number of users, devices, and services included. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices. We'll provide a detailed quote after a free assessment of your environment.
Absolutely. We manage IT environments for fully remote, hybrid, and on-site teams across India, Singapore, and the UK - including secure remote access, endpoint management, and Microsoft 365 administration.
Either. We can act as a full outsourced IT department, or operate as a co-managed extension of your internal team — handling the day-to-day support and monitoring while your internal IT focuses on strategic projects. Many clients use co-managed IT to give their small IT team access to a wider pool of expertise without hiring full-time specialists.
We support compliance with UK Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA (for healthcare clients), PCI-DSS (for payment environments), and UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018. Our managed service includes security controls, documentation, and reporting that directly support your compliance obligations.
Our standard onboarding process takes 2–4 weeks from contract signing to full managed service go-live. This includes: environment audit and asset discovery, deployment of monitoring and security tooling, documentation of your IT estate, team introductions and escalation path configuration, and SLA agreement. For organisations with complex environments we may extend the assessment phase — but we aim to have you fully monitored and supported within 30 days.
