Centralized IT management for every endpoint

Cloud-first managed IT for small and mid-sized businesses. We run your Microsoft 365, devices and security from one platform, to a European security standard.

  • NIS2-ready baseline
  • EU-hosted platform
  • Escrow-protected via Upwork

Microsoft 365, managed end-to-end

Users, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, licensing, MFA and Conditional Access.

Every device secured & patched

One agent: patching, antivirus, ransomware rollback, encryption, application control.

NIS2-ready by design

A proven baseline mapped to NIS2 Article 21 and GDPR, with monthly evidence reports.

The Plaren model

Cloud + Control.
One accountable team.

Most small businesses get IT in pieces: someone sets up Microsoft 365, someone else fixes laptops, and nobody owns security. We run both halves as one system, with one standard and one monthly report.

Cloud

Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, SharePoint, Azure. Your identities, mail and files, run properly.

Control

Endpoint Central MSP + ServiceDesk Plus MSP. Every device patched, protected and supported.

Security & compliance

NIS2-ready
by design

NIS2 requires essential and important entities, and increasingly their suppliers, to implement concrete cybersecurity measures. Our Plaren Baseline puts the technical ones in place and gives you the reports to prove it.

A lightweight ManageEngine Endpoint Central agent. It connects outbound over encrypted HTTPS to our private platform. No inbound ports are opened on your network.

Your documents stay in your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Device inventory and ticket data are stored on our platform in an EU data center.

NIS2 compliance is your company’s responsibility and there is no official “NIS2 certificate”. Our Plaren Baseline implements the core technical measures of Article 21 (MFA, encryption, patching, vulnerability management, access control, incident handling), and our monthly reports give you evidence for audits and customers.
