IT & Security Checklist for Managed Offices

This guide gives enterprise IT, ops and security teams a practical managed office IT security checklist. It balances what your provider typically covers with what still sits on your side. The aim is simple: get productive quickly, stay compliant, and avoid paying twice for controls you thought were included. If you are still exploring options, FlexiOffices can help you compare managed office space and understand what is bundled before you sign.
