The questions businesses ask, asked and answered.

AdVran is a Southern California managed IT and cybersecurity provider. We manage IT infrastructure, 24/7 security monitoring, compliance programs, and cloud environments for small and mid-market businesses across Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego. All under one contract and one monthly cost.

A managed service provider is a third-party company that remotely manages a business's IT infrastructure and end-user systems. MSPs handle networks, servers, endpoints, help desk, cloud platforms, and hardware lifecycle. Replacing or supplementing an internal IT team. AdVran operates as a local, on-site-capable MSP across Southern California.

Break-fix IT means calling a technician only when something fails. You pay per incident and have no ongoing coverage. Managed IT services provide continuous monitoring, proactive maintenance, and guaranteed response times for a flat monthly fee. Managed services prevent most problems before they affect your business; break-fix only reacts after damage is done.

AdVran was founded by Adrian Monges Rodriguez, a computer engineer who, at Boeing, built avionics simulation software, managed network infrastructure, and led NASA projects, including winning NASA contracts, before starting the company. That engineering discipline (redundancy, reliability, zero-defect change control) is the operating standard AdVran applies to every client's IT environment across Southern California.

Pricing is per user and per device, and depends on what you choose: managed IT (MSP), managed security with 24/7 SOC monitoring (MSSP), or both, plus your regulatory profile and after-hours coverage. After a free assessment you get a written proposal with one predictable monthly cost and no separate vendor invoices.

We serve businesses across Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. Our headquarters is in Anaheim, CA. For on-site work, our engineers are local. Not dispatched from a national call center.

An MSP (managed service provider) manages your IT systems. Networks, servers, endpoints, and help desk. An MSSP (managed security service provider) manages your cybersecurity. Threat monitoring, incident response, and compliance. Most businesses use separate vendors for each, creating a costly gap in accountability. AdVran delivers both under one team and one contract.

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a team that continuously monitors an organization's IT environment for threats. AdVran's SOC operates 24/7/365, using SIEM tools to detect anomalies, run proactive threat hunts, investigate alerts, and respond to incidents in real time.

AdVran's SOC monitors your environment 24/7/365. Critical (P1) incidents, such as a system outage or an active breach, are escalated to an on-call engineer at any hour. Response commitments for each priority level are written into your service agreement.

Yes. Over 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and the average cost of a data breach for an SMB exceeds $200,000. Enough to close many operations. Small businesses are attractive targets because they often lack the defenses of large enterprises. Managed security services give SMBs enterprise-grade protection at a predictable monthly cost.

We support HIPAA (including HITECH), CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 readiness under NIST SP 800-171 (including DFARS 252.204-7012), PCI DSS, SOC 2 readiness, NIST CSF, and CCPA/CPRA, plus the FTC Safeguards Rule (GLBA) for financial and accounting firms and FERPA for schools. We also support other industry frameworks on request. Ask us.

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a U.S. Department of Defense framework required for any company that handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of a defense contract. Aerospace, defense manufacturing, and government supply chain businesses in California must meet CMMC Level 2 or 3 to remain eligible for DoD contracts. AdVran implements and maintains CMMC-ready environments.

A standard agreement includes 24/7 endpoint detection and response, managed identity for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, scheduled patching, monitored backup with tested restores, vulnerability scanning, security awareness training, help desk and on-site support, and quarterly business reviews. HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, PCI DSS, CCPA and other frameworks layer on the same security foundation instead of being rebuilt for each one.

No. You get a written proposal after the assessment, and there are no separate charges for routine support, patching, tooling, or reviews. No per-incident fees and no overage charges: you know your IT and security cost before the month starts.

Book a strategy call or send a message, and a Southern California engineer responds within one business day. We start with a free assessment: a network security scan, a compliance gap review, and a plain-English ranking of your top risks. The output is yours to keep whether you engage AdVran or not.

Month one is discovery and stabilization: every server, endpoint, application, identity provider, network device, and backup target is documented, and the biggest risks are prioritized against your business calendar. By day 45 most clients have incidents caught before users notice. By day 90 we run the first quarterly review with real numbers on uptime, tickets, resolution time, and security posture.

A written monthly report of every action our platform executed on your environment: threats detected and triaged, escalations, patches deployed, policy enforcement, configuration hardening, and anomaly investigations. Each item is timestamped, categorized by severity, and signed off by the lead engineer on your account.
