You will work alongside a co-managed IT partner that provides 24/7 security monitoring, managed security tooling, and after-hours coverage, so you are supported rather than on your own.

Security & Data Integrity (in partnership) * Serve as internal owner of security, working with the co-managed partner on endpoint protection, email filtering, MFA, patching, and access controls. * Ensure backups run and test restores regularly to protect data integrity and recoverability; help safeguard against ransomware, phishing, and ACH/payroll fraud. * Support compliance with cyber-insurance and applicable data-handling requirements. Projects & Strategy * Plan and execute IT projects and installations - hardware refreshes, network upgrades, new-site build-outs, and cloud migrations - using internal and partner resources. * Maintain an IT roadmap and capital budget, advising leadership on technology investments as the company grows. * Own the co-managed partner relationship, coordinating work and holding the partner to service levels. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Back to CODE100](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1909-wearedevelopers-live-back-to-code100) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Passkeys: Truly Phishing-Resistant?
