"I can confidently say that WatchPoint has proven time and again just how essential it is to have a reliable IT and cybersecurity partner managing our technology. In the construction industry, technology might not seem like a top priority, but the reality is that without a stable and secure system, our operations would come to a standstill. WatchPoint’s expertise has been instrumental in keeping our business running smoothly and securely. They are always responsive, proactive, and quick to address any issues that arise.
What sets WatchPoint apart is their understanding of our unique challenges as a construction company. They don’t just provide technical support, they actively help us anticipate risks and implement solutions that keep our data safe and our team productive. Their support has allowed us to focus on what we do best, knowing our technology is in capable hands. I truly appreciate their partnership and would recommend WatchPoint to any business looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and responsive IT team."
You deserve IT systems that fuel your growth, not slow you down.
At WatchPoint, we understand that as a business leader, your time is best spent driving strategy and serving customers, not troubleshooting technology. From securing sensitive data to maintaining system uptime, the complexity of IT can become a major burden without the right support.
That’s why we do more than fix problems, we become your strategic IT partner.
Our team delivers proactive support, strong cybersecurity, and scalable solutions tailored to your goals. Every service we offer is designed to simplify your operations, reduce risk, and help your business thrive.
Founded with the belief that technology should empower, not complicate your business, WatchPoint brings the reliability, responsiveness, and forward-thinking guidance you need to grow with confidence.
WatchPoint started in 1998 in Greg Edwards’ basement, not as a business plan, but as a mission. As a systems engineer, Greg saw firsthand how technology could either empower a business or hold it back. He knew companies didn’t just need someone to fix their tech, they needed a partner who understood their goals, anticipated their challenges, and could build a reliable foundation for growth.
With that vision, WatchPoint was born.
From day one, Greg focused on delivering IT services that were responsive, strategic, and grounded in trust. What began as one person helping local businesses has grown into a team that supports clients across industries, solving complex problems, securing critical systems, and helping businesses thrive in a digital world.
In 2014, WatchPoint made a strategic shift from the traditional break/fix model to fully managed IT services. Why? Because reactive support wasn’t enough.
As cyber threats became more sophisticated and constant, we knew businesses needed more than on-call help—they needed a partner who could anticipate risks, secure their environments, and keep systems running without disruption.
That’s why cybersecurity is at the core of every service we deliver. Whether you’re a small team or a growing enterprise, every WatchPoint client benefits from the same high standard of protection—built on enterprise-grade tools, best practices, and 24/7 vigilance.
It’s not an add-on. It’s our starting point. Because in today’s world, secure IT is the only kind of IT that works.
By 2017, WatchPoint’s impact had expanded far beyond day-to-day IT support. As ransomware threats surged, Greg Edwards’ entrepreneurial instincts led to the creation of specialized tools and services that addressed urgent gaps in the market.
One of those solutions—Axis Backup, an offsite backup and disaster recovery service—grew out of WatchPoint’s commitment to business continuity. It quickly gained traction beyond our client base, and in 2017, was acquired by publicly traded J2 Global and integrated into their cloud services portfolio.
But the innovation didn’t stop there.
What began as an internal tool to stop ransomware attacks became the foundation of Canauri, a purpose-built anti-ransomware SaaS platform now used to protect businesses around the world. Fueled by real-world experience and designed to outpace evolving threats, Canauri exemplifies WatchPoint’s core philosophy: solve real problems, then scale the solution.
Today, WatchPoint stands as more than a managed IT provider—we're a growth partner for businesses that understands technology is no longer optional; it's a competitive advantage.
With a strong history of solving real-world challenges and launching successful technology ventures, WatchPoint brings more than just tools—we bring proven insight, experience, and strategic execution.
Led by founder Greg Edwards, whose innovations have scaled globally, our team remains focused on what matters most: helping businesses harness technology to reduce risk, improve productivity, and create space for growth.
Whether you're a 20-person professional firm or a 200-seat operation navigating complex compliance requirements, our mission is the same—equip you with the systems, security, and support you need to thrive.
