EventHorizon Forge Corporation

EventHorizon Forge is a managed IT services provider and cybersecurity company serving businesses in Erie, Pennsylvania and across the United States with Microsoft 365 management, endpoint operations, infrastructure support, backups, and managed security.

You run the business. We run the system behind it.

One operator. No vendor gaps. No guesswork.

If Microsoft 365, endpoints, backups, and security are split across three or four different vendors, nobody really owns the outcome. That is not managed IT. That is patched-together support destined to fail.

EHFC is a managed IT services and cybersecurity company in Erie, Pennsylvania, supporting clients regionally and remotely across the United States where the fit is right. We run your Microsoft 365, endpoints, infrastructure, backups, and security as one program, with a real person responsible when something needs to happen.

That program is called VANGUARD. It is the managed IT model we run for every client: help desk, identity and access, device management, infrastructure, backups, and ongoing security operations under one engagement, scoped to fit the environment.

VANGUARD

V.A.N.G.U.A.R.D · Validated Access, Network Governance, Unified Authentication & Risk Defense

EHFC's managed IT program for businesses in Erie, Pennsylvania and clients we support remotely across the United States.

VANGUARD is how we run managed IT. It is not a Microsoft 365 add-on or an identity product. It is the program we use to handle your support, identity, endpoints, infrastructure, backups, and security under a single engagement. One operator. No vendor gaps. Someone is actually responsible.

Most small businesses are sold IT in pieces. Support from one company, security from another, Microsoft 365 from a reseller, backups from whoever set them up years ago. When something breaks across two of those, nobody owns the fix. VANGUARD is the version where one team owns it.

What VANGUARD typically includes

  • User support & managed help desk
  • Microsoft 365 administration & governance
  • Identity lifecycle, MFA, and access control
  • Endpoint management & compliance alignment
  • Huntress-powered managed detection & response with 24/7 SOC coverage (EHFC-operated; Huntress-backed operations)
  • Infrastructure & environment operations
  • Backup & disaster recovery ownership
  • Security baseline enforcement & hardening

VANGUARD is EHFC's primary managed IT service (MSP offering). It covers day-to-day IT operations, Microsoft 365 management, endpoint support, cybersecurity work (including Huntress-backed 24/7 SOC coverage for managed detection and response), and infrastructure ownership.

Build it. Run it. Own it.

EHFC does two things: we build systems and we run them. You can hire us to deploy a project, manage your day-to-day IT, or both under the same engagement.

Layer 1 · Build

IGNITION, ASCENSION, DOMINION

Project work: websites, systems, integrations, authentication, and backend architecture, deployed to EHFC-managed infrastructure and hardened from day one. This is where your systems get built and shipped.

Layer 2 · Operate

VANGUARD Managed IT

Day-to-day managed IT: support, Microsoft 365, identity, endpoints, infrastructure, backups, and security, all run by one team under one engagement. This is where the environment gets owned, not just monitored.

Based in Erie, Pennsylvania. Supporting businesses locally and across the United States.

Build & deployment

One provider builds the system. A different provider has to operate it. The handoff is usually where things go sideways. EHFC does both, so the team that built it is the team that runs it.

Deployment tiers cover how the system gets built. VANGUARD is the managed IT service that runs it afterward, so it stays patched, monitored, and actually owned.

  • Static or minimal dynamic behavior

ASCENSION

Business-ready system

Everything in IGNITION, plus:

  • 5 to 10 pages
  • Custom UI
  • Integrations (CRM, forms, basic Stripe)
  • Analytics

Add VANGUARD

Managed IT for deployed systems

Once a system is live, VANGUARD takes over the day-to-day. That covers help desk, Microsoft 365, endpoints, infrastructure, backups, and security under the same roof.

  • User support & help desk
  • Microsoft 365 administration
  • Endpoint & device management
  • Backup & disaster recovery
  • Security baseline enforcement
  • Ongoing system ownership

Same team designs, deploys, and runs the environment. No handoff to a stranger six weeks after launch. No finger-pointing between dev, infrastructure, and IT.

  • One accountable operator
  • Build and operations stay in sync
  • No vendor handoffs
  • Clear ownership of systems

How we work

EventHorizon ForgeEHFC · E · H · F · C

Four constraints on every engagement, whether we are shipping product, running VANGUARD, or both: build like an operator, design past the current release, ship with integrity, and hold the bar on execution.

Engineering Possibility iconE

Engineering Possibility

We turn constraints into working systems. Architecture, implementation, and verification are one problem, not three.
We prototype to learn, then engineer what actually ships.
Horizon Thinking iconH

Horizon Thinking

We design for the next failure mode and the next scale step, not only the demo.
That means clear boundaries, written-down assumptions, and room to grow without rewriting from scratch.
Foundational Integrity iconF

Foundational Integrity

Security and reliability are not polish layers.
We default to least privilege, explicit trust boundaries, and operations you can audit. Production is a long game.
Commanding Excellence iconC

Commanding Excellence

We run engagements with tight communication, measurable acceptance, and disciplined delivery.
How we operate is the standard. It is not a slogan on a slide.

One team for managed IT, security, and deployment

EHFC works with businesses in Erie, Pennsylvania and across the United States. Whether it is managed IT through VANGUARD, a deployment project, or both, the scope, the risk, and who owns what gets written down in plain language up front.

Under VANGUARD, security includes Huntress-powered managed detection and response with 24/7 SOC coverage. It is one program with one team accountable for the outcome, not five tools with no owner.

Start with a readiness review of your current setup, or look through full services. Either way, you get a real scope and a real owner.
