IronEdge Group, a leading managed IT and cybersecurity services provider for small and midsize businesses, has launched ManagedAI™ Services, branded as IronAI™, marking it as one of the first MSPs in the nation to deliver a comprehensive, enterprise-grade AI adoption and governance solution tailored for SMBs. This pioneering offering addresses the growing risks of unmanaged AI usage, such as data leakage and compliance issues, while enabling businesses to securely leverage tools like ChatGPT™, Copilot®, and Gemini™ to drive efficiency and strategic outcomes.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming business operations, yet its unmanaged adoption poses significant challenges including data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and unauthorized "shadow" usage by employees. IronEdge's IronAI™ solution introduces a structured approach to AI integration, providing visibility and safeguards that allow SMBs to harness generative AI tools without compromising security or efficiency. By embedding governance from the outset, this managed IT service ensures consistent, safe deployment across the organization.
The IronAI™ suite encompasses essential elements designed to facilitate responsible AI adoption. A Comprehensive AI Assessment & Scorecard evaluates current usage patterns and uncovers potential risks, offering a clear roadmap for mitigation. Secure LLM Platform Access implements enterprise-grade privacy controls, detailed logging, and role-based permissions to protect sensitive data during interactions with AI models.
Complementing these, Employee AI Training & Governance Advisory delivers tailored programs to promote best practices, aligning tool usage with business goals and fostering a culture of secure innovation. Advanced AI Consulting & ROI Modeling further supports strategic planning, helping SMBs quantify benefits and integrate AI into core processes for enhanced decision-making and operational gains.
"AI is no longer optional — it's already in your business whether you know it or not," said Ryan Lakin, CEO of IronEdge Group. "Our ManagedAI solution helps businesses take control of AI by combining governance, training, and security into a single managed service. This isn't about chasing hype — it's about empowering our clients to innovate responsibly, protect their data, and accelerate growth in a world where AI is changing everything."
This launch reinforces IronEdge's leadership in managed IT services, transforming potential AI risks into opportunities for competitive advantage and sustainable growth among small and midsize businesses.
