Getting Started
Your First 30 Days with Tecnico Desk
What onboarding with Tecnico Desk looks like, from the first conversation to your first monthly security report.
June 2026
Switching IT providers (or hiring one for the first time) can feel uncertain. You want to know what will actually happen, how long it takes, and what you will need to do on your end. This page walks through exactly what the first 30 days look like when you work with Tecnico Desk.
Every engagement is a little different, but the structure below reflects our standard onboarding for small businesses. We move at your pace, communicate clearly at every step, and do not make changes to your environment without your explicit approval.
Day 1 to 2: Security Fit Call
Everything starts with a short conversation. The Security Fit Call is a 20 to 30 minute video call where we learn about your business, your current IT setup, and the concerns that brought you here.
- We ask about your platform (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or both), your team size, your industry, and any upcoming compliance needs.
- We listen for the problems that matter most to you, whether that is a recent security scare, an upcoming cyber insurance renewal, or simply not knowing where things stand.
- No pressure, no hard sell. If we are not the right fit, we will say so. We would rather point you in the right direction than take on work we cannot do well.
Day 3 to 5: Proposal and scope
Based on what we learn in the fit call, we send you a clear proposal. It includes scope, pricing, and a realistic timeline. No jargon, no hidden fees, no 40-page contract.
- For most new clients, we recommend starting with Tecnico Ready (our security review) to establish a baseline. This gives both of us a clear picture of where your environment stands before any changes are made.
- If ongoing managed security or IT support is part of the conversation, we include that in the proposal so you can see the full picture.
- You review the proposal, ask questions, and decide when to start. There is no expiration date and no pressure to rush.
Day 5 to 10: Environment access and discovery
Once you give the go-ahead, we begin the discovery phase. This is where we look under the hood of your environment to understand what is configured, what is exposed, and what needs attention.
- With your approval, we gain read-only access to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment. You control what we can see, and we document every permission we request.
- We review identity settings, email security, sharing permissions, backup status, admin access, and compliance posture.
- No changes are made during discovery. This is observation and documentation only. We are building the map before we recommend a route.
Day 10 to 15: Security review delivery
This is the most valuable part of the first 30 days. You receive a clear, written security review with prioritized findings specific to your environment.
- Each finding includes what it is, why it matters, and what to do about it. We write for business owners and office managers, not just IT people.
- Findings are ranked by risk so you know what to address first and what can wait.
- We walk through the review together in a live call. You can ask questions, push back, and tell us what fits your budget and timeline.
Day 15 to 25: Remediation and hardening
With your approval, we begin addressing the highest-priority findings from the security review. Nothing changes without your sign-off.
- Changes are documented and communicated before they happen. If a change will affect how your team works (for example, enabling multi-factor authentication), we coordinate the rollout so it goes smoothly.
- We handle the technical work. You make the business decisions. We will explain the tradeoffs clearly so you can choose what makes sense for your team.
- Common early wins include tightening email security, fixing sharing permissions, enabling MFA, and setting up a tested backup.
Day 25 to 30: Steady state and first report
By the end of the first month, you transition from onboarding to ongoing partnership.
- If you are on Tecnico Defend (managed security), monitoring and ongoing security oversight begins. We watch for threats, configuration drift, and new risks so you do not have to.
- You receive your first monthly security report, a short summary of what was done, what was found, and what is coming next.
- Recurring check-ins are scheduled based on your preference, whether that is weekly, biweekly, or monthly. You always have a direct line to your team.
What you will have after 30 days
By the end of your first month, you will not just have a new IT provider. You will have a clear understanding of where your security stands and a partner who is accountable for keeping it there.
After 30 days, you will have
- A documented security baseline for your environment, so you know exactly where things stand.
- The highest-risk gaps addressed, starting with the changes that reduce the most risk for the least disruption.
- A clear plan for what comes next, with priorities, timelines, and costs laid out in plain language.
- One accountable partner for security and IT, someone who picks up the phone and knows your environment.
If you are running a law firm, accounting practice, or other professional services business with 10 to 75 employees, this is the kind of focused, security-first onboarding we built Tecnico Desk to deliver. We work with businesses in Colorado on-site and support remote teams nationwide.
