Managed Tech Care vs. Break/Fix Support
Before signing an agreement, verify how different service models handle your cybersecurity alignment, patching cadence, response SLAs, and budget predictability.
Head-to-Head Comparison
| Feature | Nanicto Managed Care | Reactive Break/Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Incentive | Preventative: flat-rate means we want your systems running well | Reactive: hourly rates mean they earn more when things fail |
| Security Configuration | Active hardening: MFA enforcement, updates, and configuration checks | Ad-hoc setup: security settings are usually only checked after a breach |
| Patch Management | Automated & monitored: system security patches are scheduled weekly | Manual check: system updates are typically only run during a repair session |
| Cost Predictability | Predictable flat annual membership fee | Unpredictable hourly fees and emergency dispatch premiums |

Model FAQ
Nanicto is designed as an ongoing technology management service, not a one-time break/fix shop. Annual terms ensure we can conduct thorough initial assessments, implement proper monitoring, maintain update schedules, and perform preventative audits. Monthly payments are not supported.
All services are delivered remotely using industry-standard encrypted remote access tools. When support is required, you will authorize a scoped remote session. You can see everything the technician does on your screen and can terminate the connection at any time.
Nanicto is a remote software and IT management service. We do not operate a physical repair shop or repair computer hardware. If hardware fails, we will guide you on replacement options and assist in restoring your software environment and files from backups.
Yes. Nanicto provides remote IT management and cybersecurity support across the United States and Canada, including major regions like Ontario, Delaware, Florida, North Carolina, and California. By utilizing secure cloud monitoring agents, we align remote employee workspaces to corporate standard settings, regardless of where they are located.
Traditional local computer repair shops charge hourly fees when your computer crashes, meaning their financial success depends on your technical failure.

Our goal is 100% uptime for your workspace.

We configure domain-level security standards, including SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance). This prevents domain spoofing, protects your brand reputation, and ensures your emails reach recipient inboxes instead of spam folders.
We fully manage and support Windows Enterprise/Pro (Windows 10 and 11), macOS (current and previous major releases), iOS, and Android mobile devices. We also configure and secure key workspace hardware, including Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti UniFi, and Fortinet firewalls/routers, and professional smart office endpoints.
Our technical support hotline and ticketing helpdesk operate from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time), Monday through Sunday. Essential and Premium tiers receive standard ticket queue routing, while Elite and Concierge members benefit from priority response queues with rapid SLA response commitments.
