Cloud Guardian provides managed IT services, jobsite connectivity, and cybersecurity to construction companies, general contractors, and specialty trades in New Jersey. Work includes temporary and permanent jobsite internet, trailer network setup, ruggedized wireless coverage in active structures, mobile device management for field tablets, plan and model file management for Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, PlanGrid, Bluebeam and Sage or Foundation accounting, plus protection against the invoice and wire fraud that targets construction payment cycles.
Why construction IT keeps failing
Field and back-office problems we are called in to fix.
The trailer has no usable internet
A consumer hotspot shared by twelve people, dropping every time someone uploads photos. Daily reports do not submit, inspections stall, and the superintendent drives to a coffee shop to send an RFI. Site connectivity has to be engineered, including antenna placement and a fallback path.
Crews building from the wrong revision
Plan sets emailed around, downloaded to a tablet, and used two revisions later. Version control on drawings is a technology problem with a very expensive physical consequence.
Invoice and wire fraud
Construction is targeted specifically because payment volumes are large, approvals move fast, and subcontractor banking details change legitimately all the time. Attackers watch a mailbox, then send a plausible change of remittance. The control is procedural and technical, applied to the approval path.
Hardware that dies in the field
Consumer tablets and laptops in dust, heat, and rain, with no enrollment, no encryption, and no remote wipe when one goes missing off the back of a truck. A lost device with plan sets, contracts, and email is a disclosure event nobody logs.
Field and office, one system
Controls, not adjectives. Each of these is something we configure, document, and can show you evidence of.
- Temporary site connectivityFixed wireless, bonded cellular, or carrier circuit depending on the site, with directional antennas and a documented fallback so a single failure does not stop the day.
- Managed field devicesEnrolled tablets and phones with encryption, remote wipe, and app control, so equipment turnover and loss stop being security events.
- Single source of truth for documentsOne current plan and model location, permissioned by role, synced for offline use in the field and reconciled when connectivity returns.
- Permanent build-out cablingWhen the structure is yours, we run and certify the cabling, wireless, and phone infrastructure as part of the project rather than as an afterthought at turnover.
Why construction firms leave their old MSP.
Legacy providers price like it is 2014 because their stack is from 2014. We run a modern, automated, AI-assisted operation, which costs us less to deliver and costs you less to buy. Same room, better outcome, roughly half the invoice.
| Typical legacy MSP | Cloud Guardian | |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring | Alerts nobody reads until you call them | AI triage that opens, correlates and often closes the ticket before you notice |
| Response | Tier 1 reading a script, escalation next business day | Senior engineer on the first touch, 24/7, no phone tree |
| Documentation | Lives in one technician's head | Written, versioned, and handed to you, you own it, not us |
| Tooling | The same RMM they bought in 2014 | Current EDR, current identity stack, current automation, reviewed quarterly |
| Billing | Per-seat minimums, 36-month lock-in, surprise project fees | No minimums, no long lock-in, scope and price in writing before work starts |
| AI | Not in the stack, and not in the roadmap | Used to cut ticket volume and audit every action, with logs you can read |

Questions we get from construction clients
Can you get internet to a site with no service?
Usually yes. Options depend on the location and include fixed wireless, bonded or multi-carrier cellular with external directional antennas, satellite where nothing else reaches, and a temporary carrier circuit when the schedule justifies it. We survey the site rather than guessing from a map.
Do you support Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or Bluebeam?
Yes. We manage the environment, identity, device access, and file synchronization those platforms depend on, and we handle the network performance side that determines whether large model and plan files are usable in the field.
Can you cable a building we are constructing?
Yes. Cat6A and fiber structured cabling, tested and certified to ANSI/TIA-568, with as-built documentation handed over at closeout. Coordinating during construction costs a fraction of retrofitting after occupancy.
How do you reduce wire fraud risk on subcontractor payments?
Multi-factor authentication and conditional access on email to stop mailbox compromise, alerting on forwarding rule changes, plus a written out-of-band verification step for any change to remittance details. The technical control and the procedure only work together.
What happens to devices when a crew member leaves?
Access is revoked the same day across email, project platforms, and remote access, and enrolled devices can be wiped remotely. The checklist is documented and the execution is recorded.
