75-Employee Law Firm Eliminates Break-Fix Chaos
The Challenge
This Inland Empire law firm had relied on break-fix IT support for years. Attorneys experienced frequent downtime, remote access was unreliable, and the firm had no Written Information Security Policy (WISP) in place despite handling sensitive client data daily. Incidents were piling up faster than they could be resolved, and the firm was one compliance audit away from serious trouble.
Our Solution
eTop deployed a security-first managed IT stack including 24/7 SOC monitoring, endpoint detection and response, and conditional access policies across all devices. We implemented secure remote access so attorneys could work from court, home, or client sites without compromising data security. A comprehensive WISP was developed and implemented to satisfy California state requirements and client expectations.
The Results
- Full WISP compliance achieved and documented
- Secure remote access deployed for all attorneys
- Proactive monitoring replaced reactive break-fix cycle
- Rigorous ticket triage ensures critical issues get immediate attention
120-Employee Manufacturer Achieves 99.9% Uptime and CMMC Readiness
The Challenge
A mid-size manufacturer in San Bernardino County was running a flat network with no segmentation between operational technology (OT) on the production floor and the corporate IT environment. A single ransomware incident could have shut down production lines and cost hundreds of thousands in lost output. Leadership also needed to demonstrate CMMC compliance to maintain eligibility for defense-adjacent contracts.
Our Solution
eTop designed and implemented full OT/IT network segmentation, isolating production systems from corporate infrastructure without disrupting operations. We deployed a layered security stack with EDR, SOC monitoring, and MFA across all user accounts. A CMMC readiness assessment was conducted and gaps were systematically remediated over a 90-day roadmap.
The Results
- Full OT/IT network segmentation deployed
- Layered security stack with EDR, SOC monitoring, and MFA
- CMMC Level 2 readiness achieved
- Improved cyber liability insurance posture
45-Employee Nonprofit Saves 40% on Licensing After M365 Migration
The Challenge
A community-focused nonprofit in Riverside was paying for a patchwork of consumer-grade tools. Google Workspace licenses were mixed with personal Outlook accounts, file sharing happened through USB drives and personal Dropbox accounts, and grant compliance reporting was nearly impossible because data lived in a dozen different places. Volunteers used personal devices with no management or security controls.
Our Solution
eTop migrated the entire organization to Microsoft 365 with nonprofit-tier licensing, consolidating email, file storage, and collaboration into a single managed platform. We implemented a lightweight device management policy for volunteer-owned devices that protected organizational data without requiring full device enrollment. Grant compliance workflows were built using SharePoint and standardized folder structures.
The Results
- Consolidated onto Microsoft 365 with nonprofit-tier licensing
- Grant compliance documentation centralized and audit-ready
- Volunteer device management deployed across personal devices
- Email deliverability improved after moving off consumer accounts
90-Employee Construction Company Connects 5 Locations with Rapid Support
The Challenge
A growing construction company operating across 5 locations in the Inland Empire had no centralized IT. Each job site and office ran its own network with no visibility between them. Field supervisors used personal hotspots and consumer-grade tablets with no security or device management. When something broke, it could take a day or more to get someone out to a remote site, causing costly project delays.
Our Solution
eTop deployed a unified SD-WAN solution connecting all 5 locations with centralized monitoring and management. Field devices were enrolled in a mobile device management platform with conditional access and remote wipe capabilities. A dedicated support model was established with guaranteed response times and onsite support coverage across all sites within the service radius.
The Results
- All locations connected with centralized network monitoring
- Consistent help desk support across all sites with priority-based triage
- Field device fleet fully managed and secured via MDM
- Single pane of glass visibility across the entire technology environment
Our Approach
Why Our Clients See These Results
Every engagement follows the same principles that separate proactive IT from the break-fix cycle.
Security-First Design
Every environment starts with SOC monitoring, EDR, conditional access, and zero-trust principles as standard. Security is the foundation, not an add-on.
Compliance Expertise
Deep knowledge of HIPAA, WISP, CMMC, FTC Safeguards Rule, and industry-specific frameworks means compliance is built into every solution from day one.
Dedicated Teams
We intentionally limit our client count so every organization gets people who know their environment, their users, and their business goals. Not a rotating cast of strangers.
