Keep Your Dayton Organization Secure, Compliant & Productive

Innovation has long been part of Dayton, Ohio's identity, and today's organizations depend on secure, reliable technology to continue advancing that tradition. For more than 30 years, Affiliated Resource Group has helped businesses reduce technology-related risk, strengthen cybersecurity, and improve operational performance through Managed IT Services, Co-Managed IT support, and compliance-focused IT solutions.

We serve organizations throughout the Dayton region, partnering with manufacturers, healthcare providers, aerospace and defense companies, professional service firms, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations that rely on technology every day. Our proactive approach to managed IT, cybersecurity, and compliance helps clients improve productivity, minimize downtime, and protect their most valuable business assets.

From the innovation ecosystem surrounding Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to the businesses in Downtown Dayton, the Miami Valley Research Park, and the growing commercial corridors throughout Montgomery County, we understand the unique technology demands facing organizations in one of Ohio's most important centers for manufacturing, engineering, and advanced research. As cybersecurity threats and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, businesses need an IT partner that helps them stay ahead of both.

Affiliated works alongside leadership teams to align technology with business strategy, providing responsive support, proactive security, and experienced guidance that help organizations operate with greater confidence. Our focus is on building resilient IT environments that enable Dayton businesses to innovate, grow, and compete without technology becoming an obstacle.

  • Managed IT: We act as your full IT department. This includes help desk, maintenance, security, backups, Microsoft 365, and planning.

Yes. We support NIST 800 171/CMMC readiness with gap assessments, policies, access control hardening, logging, evidence collection, and remediation roadmaps. We also help operationalize practices relevant to ITAR/EAR environments.
Do you support HIPAA compliance for Dayton healthcare groups?
Yes. We provide HIPAA risk analyses, policies and procedures, workforce training, technical safeguards (email and endpoint security, MFA), audit ready documentation, and continuous monitoring to reduce risk and ease audits.
How fast can you onboard a new client in Dayton?
Most onboardings complete in 2–4 weeks. We document your environment, secure identities and email, deploy EDR and backups, standardize endpoints, and go live with the help desk. Cutovers can be scheduled after hours or weekends to reduce disruption.
What do managed and co managed IT services typically cost in Dayton?
Many small to mid market organizations invest about $130–$165 per user per month for fully managed IT, depending on security stack, compliance scope, and SLAs. Co managed plans are typically lower per user because responsibilities are shared. We provide a fixed quote after assessment.
Can you help with cyber insurance applications and incident response?
Absolutely. We assist with questionnaires, validate required controls (MFA, EDR, backups, email security, logging), and remediate gaps. If an incident occurs, we follow a documented response plan, contain the issue, coordinate with your carrier and legal, and prioritize restoring critical systems.
How do you support manufacturers that can’t afford production downtime?
We focus on stability and recovery: standardized endpoints, proactive patching, layered security, tested backups, and clear runbooks. We schedule maintenance windows around operations and recover the most critical systems first if there’s an outage.
Do you manage Microsoft 365 and Azure for Dayton teams?
Yes. We handle licensing optimization, tenant security (MFA, Conditional Access, DLP), Teams/SharePoint governance, Intune device management, Entra ID roles, and Azure cost/performance tuning plus user training and periodic security reviews.
We have sites across the region and limited IT staff. Can you cover everything?
Yes. We centralize support across locations with one help desk, standardized tools and security, unified reporting, and coordinated on site coverage in Montgomery, Greene, and Miami Counties. We do this so you have a single, accountable partner for day to day needs and long term roadmap.
What are your average response and resolution times for Dayton clients?
Our help desk answers in under 60 seconds on average, with priority incidents triaged within 15 minutes. Most tickets are resolved in under 2 business hours; critical incidents are handled immediately 24/7.
How do you help organizations based outside the Columbus metro area?
We've been serving organizations across Ohio for over 30 years from our office in Dublin, and distance has never been a barrier to great service. Our remote‑first model means most issues are resolved quickly without waiting for someone to drive to your location, and we dispatch on‑site engineers for hands‑on needs, projects, and escalations. Whether you need a full managed IT program or co‑managed support to extend your internal team, you get one accountable local partner for help desk, security, compliance, backups, Microsoft 365, and strategic planning—no matter where your office is.
How do you handle/support AI?
We offer AI Alignment™, our structured AI governance program that helps organizations adopt AI responsibly without creating new security or compliance risks. We support Microsoft Copilot and other leading AI platforms, and we create a clear AI Acceptable Use Policy that defines which tools are approved, how data is protected, and how usage is governed across your organization. The goal is to give leadership visibility and control over how AI is being used so it becomes a managed business capability rather than an uncontrolled risk.
