Your office is wherever the work is. Construction IT fails in ways office IT never does: no wired drop, no reliable cellular in a steel structure, tablets in the rain, and a plan set that has to be the current revision or someone builds the wrong thing.
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.
Field and back-office problems we are called in to fix.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Controls, not adjectives. Each of these is something we configure, document, and can show you evidence of.
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 |
The services construction clients use most. Everything else we offer is available too.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
