IT for manufacturers
Managed IT and cybersecurity for manufacturers that need maximum uptime, secure OT and IT networks, and a clear path to CMMC and supply chain security requirements.
The challenge
Manufacturing is consistently one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks, and production systems were never designed for the internet.
When ERP, MES, or the network stops, orders, shipping, and payroll stop with it.
Legacy machines and OT devices on flat networks give attackers an easy path from the office to the line.
Defense and enterprise customers increasingly require CMMC, NIST 800-171, or security questionnaires.
How WEBIT helps
We design networks that separate the plant floor from the office, monitor everything around the clock, and document controls your customers ask for.
Frameworks and requirements
We build the technical controls and evidence. Your quality and compliance leads keep ownership.
Systems we support
Manufacturers run two networks at once: the office systems that quote, schedule, and ship, and the production equipment that makes the product. We support both and keep them safely apart.
Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Business One, JobBOSS, Global Shop Solutions, and similar platforms. We manage servers, databases, backups, updates, and the workstations and scanners that feed them.
CNC controllers, PLC and HMI networks, label printers, and rugged tablets, segmented from the office network so an infected laptop cannot stop a production line.
SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Mastercam, and PDM vaults on workstations sized for the work, with project files backed up and recoverable.
Compliance and customer requirements
Primes, OEMs, and insurers now ask suppliers to prove their security. We build the controls and the documentation so you can answer yes with evidence.
Defense suppliers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information must meet NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC. We assess your gaps, build the plan, and implement the technical controls.
Multifactor sign-in, endpoint detection and response, tested backups, and security training are standard questions. We put them in place and give you the answers at renewal.
Segmented networks, immutable backups, and recovery we actually test, because manufacturing is one of the industries ransomware groups target most.
Switching IT providers
We support manufacturers in Naperville, Aurora, Elk Grove Village, Bolingbrook, and across the Chicago suburbs, onsite and remote. The transition is planned around production schedules and shift changes.
We document every workstation, server, machine connection, license, and vendor, and map the office and shop floor networks, without stopping production.
We patch, secure, and back up everything, separate production equipment from office traffic, and turn on 24/7 monitoring.
Regular reviews with your named Client Success Manager, a hardware refresh plan, and an IT budget you can see a year in advance.

Yes. We assess your current state against NIST 800-171, build a remediation roadmap, and implement the technical controls needed for CMMC readiness.
Our monitoring runs 24x7, and Priority support adds after-hours emergency response.
Yes. We isolate legacy and OT devices with network segmentation and monitoring so they keep running without exposing the rest of the business.
Yes. WEBIT serves manufacturers, printers, and distributors across Chicagoland. Manufacturing IT requires segmentation between OT and IT networks to protect production systems, ERP and MES support (Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics 365, EFI Pace, Pageflex, Global Shop Solutions), CAD and CAM support (SolidWorks, Autodesk), CMMC readiness for defense suppliers, and ransomware protection built for environments where downtime carries a measurable hourly cost.
