Enterprise-Level IT, Compliance, and Cloud Solutions for Southwest Florida Businesses
Naples is thriving — from growing healthcare practices to luxury real-estate firms and boutique professional services. But with that growth comes complexity: cybersecurity threats, compliance regulations, cloud migration challenges, and the never-ending task of keeping systems running smoothly.
That’s where MET Florida steps in. We’re a local Naples managed IT provider built for small and mid-sized businesses that need enterprise-level support without enterprise-level overhead. Our team delivers everything from proactive IT management and HIPAA compliance monitoring for medical offices to cloud infrastructure design for financial and professional firms, and automation solutions that boost efficiency across the board.
For nearly two decades, MET Florida has helped Naples-area businesses modernize their systems, reduce risk, and simplify operations — all with local accountability and at-cost licensing that national MSPs can’t match.
Managed IT Services — Your Entire IT Department, Simplified
Modern businesses can’t afford downtime. MET Florida’s Managed IT Services give you a full IT department — from help desk to virtual CIO — at a predictable monthly rate.
Comprehensive, Scalable Support
We structure support through four service tiers so Naples companies can scale seamlessly:
Tier 1: End-user and help desk support for daily troubleshooting
Tier 2: Microsoft 365 management, permissions, and security
Tier 3: Network, server, and infrastructure administration
Tier 4: Senior-level engineering, compliance, and IT strategy
Each plan includes proactive monitoring, detailed reporting, and at-cost licensing, so you never overpay for Microsoft or third-party tools.
Our clients gain a true partnership — not a ticket queue. We handle the technical, so you can focus on the operational.

Why Proactive IT Management Matters
Reactive IT support means you only call for help when something breaks — which often means downtime, lost data, and frustrated employees. MET Florida’s managed model flips that dynamic.
We continuously monitor system performance, apply updates, and resolve potential issues before they affect productivity. For most Naples clients, that translates to:
30–50% fewer IT emergencies
Faster recovery times during outages
Higher employee productivity through reduced interruptions
Every minute of uptime counts, and we make sure your business stays running.
Cloud & Infrastructure Support — Built for Growth
Your business depends on the cloud, but cloud management shouldn’t depend on luck. MET Florida designs, deploys, and manages hybrid, private, and public cloud environments that maximize uptime and minimize waste.
Core Cloud Services
Microsoft 365 and Azure configuration
Cloud migration and integration
Secure remote access and file management
Backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning
Infrastructure cabling and equipment setup for new offices
We help Naples businesses streamline their operations, improve data access, and maintain security — all while reducing recurring costs.
Business Impact: The Cost of Downtime
When cloud environments or on-prem servers fail, every minute counts. According to industry averages, the cost of IT downtime for small businesses ranges between $5,000 and $10,000 per hour.
Our clients in Naples see significant ROI from proactive cloud management — not just in prevention but also in recovery readiness. By designing redundant systems and tested backup protocols, we ensure your business can recover from hardware failure, ransomware, or accidental deletion without data loss or extended downtime.
Cybersecurity & Compliance — Protecting What Matters Most
Cybersecurity in Naples isn’t just about technology — it’s about trust. MET Florida provides layered security and compliance frameworks that protect your data, staff, and reputation.
Our Cybersecurity Stack Includes
24/7 endpoint detection and response (EDR)
Patch and vulnerability management
Multi-factor authentication and conditional access
Data loss prevention and encryption policies
Ongoing security posture reviews
For regulated environments like healthcare, finance, and law, our compliance programs deliver continuous oversight and actionable protection.
That means your Naples business stays audit-ready year-round.
Managed HIPAA Compliance — Continuous Protection for Regulated Environments

For healthcare organizations in Naples, compliance isn’t optional — it’s federal law. But staying compliant requires constant monitoring, documentation, and follow-through across every technical system your practice touches.
That’s where MET Florida’s Managed HIPAA Compliance program comes in.
What We Do
We handle the ongoing management, oversight, and documentation that your internal staff often doesn’t have time for. Our system continuously monitors your environment, flags risks, and keeps every policy, form, and audit log up to date.
Key components include:
Continuous monitoring of devices, users, and configurations
Documentation of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
Automated policy updates and reminders
Security Risk Assessments (SRAs) and gap tracking
Breach notification readiness and audit trail preservation
We don’t just send you reports — we keep your environment ready for inspection at all times.
HIPAA + Managed IT = Full Coverage
Our Managed HIPAA Compliance service runs side-by-side with our Managed IT Services program.
The compliance team tracks and documents every requirement.
The IT team applies the technical corrections — patching, security policies, MFA, and encryption.
That means no more finger-pointing between your IT provider and compliance consultant. You get a single accountable partner — MET Florida.
Who It’s For
Medical and dental practices
Clinics, labs, and imaging centers
Telehealth providers
Home health and remote patient monitoring groups
Any covered entity or business associate under HIPAA regulations
Why It Matters
HIPAA fines average over $1.5 million per violation, and even a small gap can trigger an audit. Our clients in Naples gain peace of mind knowing their systems, staff, and policies stay aligned with federal standards — all year long.

Vendor Management & Consolidation — Simplify Your Tech Stack

Between ISPs, hardware suppliers, and cloud subscriptions, managing vendors can become a full-time job. MET Florida consolidates it all under one roof.
We manage your technology partnerships, handle renewals, troubleshoot billing issues, and serve as your single point of contact for every IT need.

Local Case Example: Naples Primary Care Practice Gains Stability and Security
A Naples primary care office was facing major IT challenges — inconsistent system backups, outdated workstations, and growing concerns about HIPAA documentation. Their internal staff spent more time reacting to problems than treating patients.
After partnering with MET Florida for Managed IT and Managed HIPAA Compliance, the practice achieved a complete turnaround:
Zero data loss incidents following migration to a secured Microsoft 365 environment
Daily automated backups and monitoring across every device
Full HIPAA documentation alignment with audit-ready logs and security controls
System performance improved by 40%, reducing appointment delays and downtime
Staff training integrated into onboarding, ensuring new hires meet compliance standards from day one
Within months, the clinic transitioned from reactive IT to proactive management — and for the first time in years, their office runs smoothly, securely, and confidently.
