About Desert Lakes Solutions
Security-first, by design and not by accident
Most managed IT providers will tell you they care about security. We built Desert Lakes Solutions around that idea instead of bolting it on.
Every engagement we take on, whether it is a $4,000 external penetration test or a multi-year managed IT contract for a mid-market practice, gets the same security-first design from day one. Real engineers handling the work. Transparent pricing on the way in. Reports your team can actually use on the way out.
Healthcare, legal, finance, and professional services are where we do most of our work, because those are the industries where getting compliance and security right matters most. But we are not a one-industry shop, and we support businesses of every kind, from non-profits and retail to oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing.
How we work
Built to work as one practice, not four siloed services
Most providers split managed IT, security operations, compliance, and penetration testing into separate departments that do not talk to each other. We run them as one practice. The engineer who tested your network knows what your SOC is monitoring, what your compliance gaps are, and what your managed IT footprint looks like. That integration is what makes the work better, and the report you get at the end useful instead of redundant.
Cybersecurity & SOC
24/7 SOC monitoring, MDR, EDR, and attack simulation. Detection and response that catches threats before they spread.
Managed IT
Help desk, network operations, and Microsoft 365 administration, handled by US-based engineers who know your environment.
Compliance Readiness
HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and NIST CSF. Gap assessment to audit-ready in one engagement.
Penetration Testing
External, internal, and full-scope tests from $4,000. Real attacker methodology, reports your team can action.
