We don't just hand you a box. Every device arrives enrolled, hardened, and tagged — ready to work the moment you plug it in. 🛡️
Pre-staging & bespoke configuration
When you buy hardware through Aegisys, the box is the beginning — not the end. Every device is built, hardened, and enrolled in your environment before it ships. It arrives plug-and-play, not plug-and-pray.
OS Imaging & Standard Build
We deploy a standardized, hardened OS image across your fleet — not the consumer build that ships in the box. Bloatware removed, security baselines applied, your line-of-business apps pre-installed. One laptop or fifty, they all land on your desk looking the same.
Intune / Autopilot Enrolment & Azure AD Join
Every Windows device is enrolled in Microsoft Intune via Autopilot and joined to your Azure AD before it reaches a user. Hand the box to an employee, they power on, sign in with their work account, and policies, apps, and compliance rules apply automatically.
See Microsoft 365 managed servicesSecurity Baselines & Hardening
Each device ships with our security baseline applied — encryption, endpoint protection, least-privilege configs, attack-surface reduction rules. Then it's enrolled in SecureONE so our 24/7 SOC is watching it from the first boot.
Explore SecureONEAsset Tagging & Asset Register Entry
Every device is physically tagged and logged in your asset register before it leaves our staging bench — serial numbers, warranty dates, assigned user, location. The foundation for refresh planning, warranty tracking, and audit readiness (SOC 2, HIPAA, municipal compliance).
SecureONE Endpoint Enrolment
Every laptop, desktop, and server is enrolled in SecureONE endpoint monitoring during pre-staging — so the moment it boots on your network, it's already protected by our 24/7 SOC. No gap between 'delivered' and 'defended.'
See how SecureONE worksNetwork Device Pre-Configuration
Firewalls, switches, and access points don't arrive as blank slates. We pre-configure firewall rules, VLANs, VPN tunnels, switch port assignments, segmentation, wireless SSIDs, and site-to-site connectivity for multi-location clients. Plug it in and it works.
See our partner vendorsWhy not buy direct or from a retailer?
We get the question: “Can't I just buy the same laptop online and save a couple hundred bucks?” You can. And for a single home machine, that's fine. But for a business fleet — especially one in a regulated industry — the savings on the box evaporate the moment it arrives unconfigured.
Here's what “saving $200” actually costs you:
8–12 hours of IT time per device
To image, enrol, harden, and tag it manually. At billable IT rates, the 'savings' are gone before the laptop is usable.
A security gap on day one
An out-of-the-box machine on your network is an unmanaged machine. No encryption baseline, no endpoint detection, no compliance posture. That's the window a threat actor walks through.
No asset register entry
Six months later, no one knows which serial is assigned to whom, when the warranty expires, or whether it's been patched. Audit fails get expensive fast.
No single point of accountability
When something breaks, the retailer points at the manufacturer, the manufacturer points at the OS, and you're stuck in the middle — on hold, with a user down.
When Aegisys sources the hardware, there's one throat to choke. We staged it, we hardened it, we enrolled it, and we support it. If something fails, you call Hero Support — the same team that built the device. One number, one relationship, one answer.
The honest version: we're rarely the cheapest sticker price on a single unit. We're the lowest total cost of ownership — because the work that costs you time and risk after a retail purchase is already done before delivery.
Bundled with Managed IT & SecureONE
Hardware doesn't work in isolation. A laptop without monitoring is a liability. A firewall without updates is a false sense of security. That's why our hardware procurement is designed to ship inside a managed relationship — not alongside one.
Hardware
Sourced, pre-staged, and delivered ready to work.
Managed IT Support
24/7 monitoring, patching, vendor management, and Hero Support. The same team that built your devices keeps them running.
SecureONE Cybersecurity
EDR/XDR, 24/7 SOC monitoring, incident response, and compliance reporting. Your hardware is defended from the first boot.
Already a client?
Your hardware quotes come with your environment already in mind — current fleet, known pain points, existing SecureONE posture. You don't re-explain your setup every time.

Lifecycle management
Buying the hardware is step one. Managing it across its whole life is where most organizations drop the ball — and where Aegisys picks it up.
Refresh Planning
We track every device's age, performance, and warranty status in your asset register. Before a machine becomes a bottleneck, your virtual CIO brings you a refresh plan aligned to your budget cycle — not a surprise failure three days before quarter-end.
Talk to your vCIOWarranty Tracking
We monitor warranty expiry dates across your fleet and flag renewals before they lapse. No more discovering a dead server is out of coverage when you need it most.
Secure Disposal (NIST-Standard Wipe)
When hardware retires, every drive is wiped to NIST SP 800-88 standard — a verifiable, auditable sanitization process — and disposal is documented for your compliance records. For regulated industries, this is the difference between 'we think it was wiped' and 'we can prove it.'
Tied to Your vCIO Roadmap
Your vCIO advisory session includes a rolling 3-year hardware lifecycle view — refresh forecasts, budget impacts, and strategic timing (e.g., bundling a fleet refresh with a Microsoft 365 migration to amortize the staging work).

Hardware procurement FAQs
Do we buy hardware through Aegisys or directly from the vendor?
You buy through Aegisys. We source the hardware from our partner vendors (Dell, Lenovo, HP, Cisco, Ubiquiti, Microsoft, Barracuda, SonicWall, Fortinet), then pre-stage, harden, and configure it for your network before it reaches your desk. One point of accountability — not a box and a support phone number.
What is pre-staging and why does it matter?
Pre-staging is everything we do to a device before it ships: OS imaging with a hardened build, Microsoft Intune/Autopilot enrolment, Azure AD join, security baselines, asset tagging, and SecureONE endpoint enrolment. The device arrives plug-and-play — a user signs in and policies, apps, and monitoring apply automatically. No IT ticket, no desk visit, no day-one security gap.
Can Aegisys pre-configure network equipment like firewalls and switches?
Yes. Firewalls, switches, and access points from Cisco, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, and SonicWall arrive pre-configured with your firewall rules, VLANs, VPN tunnels, switch port assignments, and wireless SSIDs. Your team (or ours) plugs it in and it works — documented and tested.
How does Aegisys handle secure hardware disposal?
Every retired drive is wiped to NIST SP 800-88 standard — a verifiable, auditable sanitization process — and disposal is documented for your compliance records. For regulated industries this is the difference between 'we think it was wiped' and 'we can prove it.'
Do you publish hardware pricing?
No. All hardware procurement is custom-quoted per client based on specs, volume, and pre-staging scope. We're rarely the cheapest sticker price on a single unit — we're the lowest total cost of ownership because the configuration, hardening, and enrolment work is already done before delivery.
Is hardware procurement bundled with managed IT and cybersecurity?
It's designed to be. Hardware + Managed IT Support + SecureONE cybersecurity in one relationship means the same team that built your devices monitors and defends them. Single invoice, single point of contact, single team that knows your environment. You can also procure hardware standalone if you prefer.
