We keep watch over your IT.
Observity is a managed IT provider in Fort Lauderdale for businesses and K–12 schools. We monitor every device, patch and backup around the clock, fix problems before they reach your people, and report back in plain English.
Managed IT for businesses
For offices across Broward and southern Palm Beach County that want IT handled properly without building an IT department. Security, backups and monitoring are part of every plan.
Managed IT and help desk
Help desk, monitoring, patching and on-site support for your whole team on one predictable monthly plan.
Cybersecurity
Layered protection for email, devices, accounts and your network, watched by a 24/7 security operations center.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Email, files and collaboration set up properly, migrated cleanly and licensed without waste.
Backup and disaster recovery
Tested backups and a written recovery plan, including what happens when a hurricane is in the cone.
Networks and Wi‑Fi
Firewalls, switching, Wi‑Fi and backup internet designed for your space and documented.
Compliance and cyber insurance
Technical controls and evidence for HIPAA, PCI DSS, the FTC Safeguards Rule and insurer questionnaires.
Built for K–12 schools
Private, faith-based and charter schools run on fixed calendars, tight budgets and rules most IT firms have never read. We plan around testing windows and summer breaks, and we know CIPA, E‑Rate and Florida’s school safety requirements.
- Classroom devices and 1:1 programs
- Student safety and data privacy
- Campus networks and testing readiness
- E‑Rate Category 2 projects
