Midwest Nonprofit Cuts Downtime 80% with LeadingIT’s Managed IT & Cybersecurity Services

Client
Overview

Non-Profit

A mission-driven Midwest nonprofit delivers critical programs to underserved communities. For Director of Operations Cathy, technology was essential to growth—but the organization’s outdated IT environment kept getting in the way.

“I needed an IT partner we could depend on—someone to handle the day-to-day tech so we could stay focused on our mission.”
Cathy, Director of Operations

The Challenge:

Outdated Systems and Security Risks

Before partnering with LeadingIT, the nonprofit faced issues common to many mission-based organizations:

  • Frequent Downtime & Website Outages: Disconnected systems and no formal disaster-recovery plan.
  • Slow Resolution & Third-Party Vendors: IT problems often took days to fix.
  • Security Gaps: No dedicated cybersecurity strategy or endpoint monitoring.
  • Non-Technical Staff Handling IT: A team member was pulled from core duties to troubleshoot.

These weaknesses left donor data vulnerable and distracted staff from their community work.

The Solution:

Comprehensive Managed IT + Cloud Security

LeadingIT deployed a full suite of managed IT services for nonprofits, integrating proactive monitoring, cloud security, and cybersecurity compliance:

  • vCIO Strategy & Technology Roadmap – Virtual CIO Mike delivered budget planning, risk assessments, and quarterly reviews.
  • Rapid-Response Help Desk – 95% of tickets now resolved the same business day.
  • Cloud Migrations & Backups – Secure, encrypted backups and Microsoft 365 migration ensured business continuity.
  • Endpoint Protection & 24/7 Monitoring – Continuous threat detection closed security gaps.
  • Plain-Language Communication – Every fix explained without jargon to build team confidence.
  • Transparent Billing – A discovered billing error resulted in a proactive refund.
