Defense Work
If You Support Eglin or Hurlburt, Your IT Is Part of the Contract
If any of your revenue comes through a defense contract or subcontract, your network is inside the rules of that agreement, whether or not anyone has said so out loud. Primes are asking subcontractors for their scores now, and a guess is worse than an honest low number.
The clause that says how you protect government data and report incidents. If it is in your contract, it applies today.
15 basic requirements for contract information, 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls for sensitive data. We work through the list with you.
We check what is really in place, give you a true SPRS score and a plan to raise it, then keep the paperwork current.
Everyday IT
A Help Desk That Picks Up the Phone
Not every business on Eglin Parkway holds a contract. Most just need computers that work, email that's safe and someone local who answers when they call.
Call and talk to a technician, not a ticket queue in another time zone.
Two-step login on every account, risky sign-ins blocked and watched around the clock.
Already have someone in-house? We back them up with security, after-hours cover and the bigger projects.
One provider from the wall to the desk, so there's nobody to point fingers at when a port goes dead.
What Fort Walton Beach IT Support Covers
Everything on this list comes with the monthly plan. Nothing here turns into an hourly bill when something breaks.
Call, email or use the portal at any hour and reach a technician who can usually fix it on that call.
Gap checks, SPRS scores, policies and the evidence a prime or assessor will ask for.
Every computer protected and watched day and night, with a person who steps in when something looks wrong.
The firewall, switches and Wi-Fi in your office, watched so a weak link gets fixed before anyone notices it.
Copies of your data kept well inland, and test restores so we know they work before you need them.
The right licenses, filtered email and the security settings a contractor's office should have on from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support businesses in Fort Walton Beach?
Yes. Flux Labs is based in Bay County and has looked after Panhandle businesses since 2010. Fort Walton Beach is about an hour west on Highway 98, and most of what we do happens remotely, so you get the same 24/7 help desk and monitoring as our Bay County clients.
We subcontract on Eglin or Hurlburt work. Where do we start?
With a gap check against NIST SP 800-171, so you know your real score before a prime contractor asks for it. We then work through the list with you, in plain English, and keep the paperwork current. Our CMMC compliance page explains which level applies to you.
How fast can someone get to Fort Walton Beach?
Usually right away and remotely, since we are already connected to your network and watching it. If a part has to be swapped or a cable traced, a technician drives over, and managed clients are seen first. The on-site time we commit to is written into your agreement before you sign.
Can you work with the IT person we already have?
Yes. That is called co-managed IT. Your IT person keeps running the day to day. We add the security monitoring, the CMMC paperwork, nights and weekends, and extra hands for big projects.
Are your technicians cleared to work around sensitive data?
Every Flux Labs technician is CJIS certified, the standard police and fire departments require for criminal justice data. We bring the same habits to contractor and client files: least access, everything logged, nothing shared.
Can you take over from our current IT company?
Yes, and your office stays covered the whole time. We start by writing down every system, password, license and contract, then switch things over in steps with monitoring and backups already running. Most switches are done within 30 days, and we can deal with your old provider so you don't have to.
Know Your Score Before the Prime Asks
Before next season, let us look at your network, computers, backups and security. You get a plain-English report of what we found, yours to keep whether or not you hire us. No obligation.
