Microsoft 365 security for St. Petersburg small businesses

Squared Away Tech helps St. Petersburg-area offices of 5 to 100 people in Pinellas County lock down sign-ins, email and laptops, with fixed prices and everything documented. Based in Lakewood Ranch, serving small offices across Florida, and remotely anywhere in the U.S. Offices anywhere in Florida get the same service.

St. Petersburg’s small businesses range from marketing and creative agencies downtown to law firms, medical and dental practices, marine and hospitality companies, real estate offices, and nonprofits. Many teams here are hybrid or fully remote, and many grew up on Microsoft 365 without ever having a dedicated IT person.

What St. Petersburg offices tend to run into

• Agencies and creative firms share files with lots of outside clients and freelancers, and guest access piles up over time.
• Law and real estate offices are targeted by payment-redirection scams that start with a phished mailbox.
• Medical and dental offices need encrypted laptops and protected sign-ins for staff who also check email from home.
• Remote and hybrid teams sign in from everywhere, which makes sign-in rules and managed devices worth getting right.

Because the work is done remotely and securely, Pinellas County offices get the same service and the same fixed prices as offices next door. In-person meetings can be arranged when they help.
