IT Support
Is Swyt’s IT outsourcing solution right for my business?
Swyt supports startups, SMEs, and growing enterprises across all industries. Whether you have 10 or 200 employees, our outsourced IT services are tailored to your size, needs, and digital maturity.
What does Swyt manage as part of its IT outsourcing service?
Swyt manages your entire IT environment—including devices, applications, users, security, infrastructure, and support. From onboarding new employees to monitoring networks and providing 24/7 IT helpdesk, we handle everything so you can focus on your business.
How does your pricing model work?
Our pricing is based on a flexible, per-employee subscription. You only pay for what you use—no hidden fees or long-term lock-ins. As your team grows, Swyt scales with you, offering a predictable and cost-effective IT solution.
How quickly do you respond when we raise a ticket?
Swyt’s helpdesk responds in under 4 minutes on average. Whether it’s via Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, or email, your request is responded and handled fast, 24/7.
Do I pay more if we raise more tickets?
No. Swyt’s pricing is based on a per-employee subscription, not the number of tickets. Whether your team submits 1 or 100 requests, you’ll pay the same predictable monthly rate.
Can I track support requests and see how you're performing?
Yes. You’ll have full visibility into every ticket: status, resolution time, and SLA compliance; directly through the Swyt platform and connected to Freshdesk.
What does Swyt’s AMC actually cover?
Swyt’s AMC covers your full IT environment, including servers, networks, wi-fi, devices, operating systems, cloud infrastructure, and business apps. We handle patching, monitoring, diagnostics, and security updates proactively.
Can you support both our cloud and office infrastructure?
Yes. We integrate with both on-premise and cloud environments, managing servers, networks, Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, and third-party platforms.
Will someone actually come on-site if there’s a hardware issue?
Yes. While most issues are resolved remotely, on-site support is included when needed—for hardware failures, network setups, or escalated incidents.
IT Security
We’re a small business, do we really need cybersecurity?
Yes. 82% of cyberattacks now target small businesses because they’re often unprepared and under-protected. Even one phishing email or hacked account can cause serious damage. Swyt offers scalable cybersecurity designed for SMEs that’s simple, effective, and affordable.
Can you help if we’ve already had a security breach?
Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us after an incident. We start with a full IT Risk Assessment to identify vulnerabilities, then secure your systems, users, and data to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
How do I know our devices and accounts are really protected?
With Swyt, you get real-time visibility into your IT security via our dashboard. You can monitor the status of your devices, users, and apps, and track enforcement of security policies like MFA, SSO, encryption, antivirus coverage, and patch updates—so nothing falls through the cracks.
Can I choose what level of security to apply across my company?
Absolutely. Swyt lets you define and enforce tailored IT security policies, so you can decide what protection is applied across departments, devices, and users—from MFA, SSO and password policies to antivirus and app access.
Why would someone target my company’s network? We’re not a big enterprise.
Hackers often target smaller businesses because their security is weaker. If your network is vulnerable, it can be used to access client data, launch phishing campaigns, or disrupt operations. Swyt helps SMEs get enterprise-grade protection without the overhead.
What kind of infrastructure can Swyt monitor and protect?
We monitor and protect everything connected to your network, including endpoints, servers, firewalls, routers, switches, Wi-Fi networks and systems, and even smart security tools like CCTV or access control cards. All managed from the Swyt App.
Can Swyt work with the network hardware and systems we already have?
Yes. Swyt integrates with leading firewalls, wireless systems, and user directories like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. You don’t need to change your entire setup: we secure what you already use.
We already use Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, how does Swyt improve security?
Swyt adds a layer of advanced, expert-managed security on top of your existing tools. We enforce MFA, control access, monitor user activity, and protect sensitive data across emails, shared drives, and cloud apps, so your team stays secure without needing in-house IT staff.
Can you secure cloud access from mobile phones and remote devices?
Yes. We integrate with both on-premise and cloud environments, managing servers, networks, Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, and third-party platforms.
Do you store or access our data in the cloud?
Swyt doesn't store your business data itself. We help you manage and secure your existing cloud and on-premise environments. Any remote support or management is done through secure, encrypted channels. Data remains in your systems, with full control and ownership on your side.
Can Swyt access our business data?
No. Swyt protects your data without ever accessing its content. We secure, encrypt, segregate, and containerise data through systems and policies; but we never view or handle your business information unless you explicitly grant access rights for support purposes.
We use cloud apps like Google Drive and Microsoft 365, can you protect our data there?
Yes. Swyt integrates with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other cloud platforms to prevent leaks, enforce access rules, and monitor how sensitive data is stored and shared.
What happens if one of our employees loses a laptop or phone?
With Swyt, you can instantly lock or wipe lost devices remotely. We also apply encryption, access control, and usage policies across all endpoints to prevent unauthorized access.
Can Swyt help us get ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certified?
Yes. Swyt provides end-to-end support for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification, including IT policy deployment, risk assessment, documentation, and ongoing compliance monitoring via the Swyt App.
Do we need to rewrite all our IT policies to be compliant?
Not at all. Swyt provides over 60+ ready-made IT policies aligned with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and local regulations. We tailor them to your industry and deploy them automatically to your systems.
Can Swyt work with our existing infrastructure and systems?
Absolutely. Swyt integrates with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure AD, Intune, and more; so you can achieve compliance without changing platforms or starting from scratch.

Can Swyt help us reduce unused software and SaaS waste?

Whether on-premise or cloud-based, we secure, monitor, and optimize your entire IT stack.
Do I need to replace my existing infrastructure to work with Swyt?
No. Swyt works with the infrastructure you already have. We integrate with your existing hardware, software, network and cloud systems to improve performance, security, and uptime; without forcing costly replacements or migrations.
How does Swyt reduce infrastructure downtime and maintenance costs?
We use proactive monitoring, automation, and scheduled preventive maintenance to detect and fix issues before they disrupt your business. That means fewer outages, faster fixes, and up to 40% savings on IT maintenance and support costs.
How does Swyt automate employee onboarding and offboarding?
Swyt connects with your HR system and MDM to trigger onboarding and offboarding automatically. When someone joins, they get assigned the right devices, apps, and proper access instantly. When they leave, Swyt revokes access, locks or wipes devices, and ensures no data is left behind.
Can we customize onboarding by department or role?
Yes. You can define profiles by team, role, or location (Sales, HR, Finance, UAE, Saudi, etc.) and Swyt will provision the right tools, access, and policies accordingly. Everything is zero-touch and tailored to your organization structure.
