# Managed Services (MSP) in Austin

Managed IT services for Austin and Central Texas (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, San Marcos) — delivered remotely by Amen Security. Austin’s economy is led by software and semiconductor companies, startups and the professional-services firms that grow around them.

Startups scale from ten to a hundred people quickly, and SOC 2-style customer security reviews arrive long before anyone owns IT.

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (in force since July 2024) sets consent and data-protection duties for businesses processing Texans’ personal data. We document controls against it as part of the service.

### Customers keep sending us security questionnaires — can you help an Austin startup get ready?

Yes. We put the baseline controls in place (MFA, device management, EDR, backups, access reviews) and keep the reporting that questionnaire and SOC 2 readiness work relies on.

### Do you have an office in Austin?

No. We serve Austin and Central Texas remotely from our Canadian team, with on-site visits scoped in the contract when hardware needs hands.

### How much does managed IT cost?

The assessment is free; you then get written per-seat pricing and scope you can compare line by line with any local quote.
