Our take
Blackguard is a Brisbane IT consultant for small businesses focused on managed IT support, combining day to day assistance with cloud solutions, cybersecurity and technology planning. Its website puts clear communication and preventing recurring problems ahead of technical jargon. The offering includes support for remote staff and business data, with monthly agreements that set out protection and costs. It could suit an owner who wants a local technology partner, while the discovery call is the place to clarify response commitments and the devices covered.

Who will you deal with?
Director Matt Heywood is the person behind Blackguard and introduces the business in his own words on the homepage. The team page names Kit Forrest, Brandon Smith and Joshua Distura in technical support, with Katherine Uberas in administration and Julie Barry in accounts. That gives prospective clients a clear view of the people supporting the service. Ask who will be your regular technical contact and how issues are escalated to Matt.
