02 · ManageIT Plus & Pro, with DivergeIT immutable backup
Ransomware recovery assurance
If you are hit by ransomware, your operations are restored to their pre-attack state, free of charge.
Owning your IT means owning the hardest day too. If ransomware gets through, you don’t pay DivergeIT to get your business back.
-
Rapid response
The threat is contained the moment it is detected, to limit the damage.
-
Full restoration
Your servers and cloud systems are restored, with their data, to the state they were in before the attack.
-
Zero-cost recovery
You pay no DivergeIT charges for the restoration and recovery effort.
Requirements
You need ManageIT Plus or Pro, with these DivergeIT-provided immutable backup products:
- Microsoft 365 users: Exchange, OneDrive, Teams and SharePoint data.
- Google Workspace users: Tasks, Contacts, Documents, Email and Calendar data.
- Microsoft Windows servers: operating system, roles, configuration and file data.
Limits & conditions
- Verification of attack
- The disruption must be confirmed as ransomware, not hardware failure, software corruption or user error. You provide verifiable evidence (ransom notes, encrypted files, logs of unauthorized encryption). If forensic analysis can’t confirm an attack, the guarantee does not apply.
- Timely reporting
- Report a suspected attack within 24 hours of detecting it. Delays that cause data loss beyond recoverable backups affect the guarantee.
- No prior compromise
- Excluded if the attack continues an unresolved earlier breach, or comes from known vulnerabilities you chose not to address after a DivergeIT security recommendation.
- Damage limitation
- If your data can’t be restored, damages are limited to six months of the services you paid for.
- Covered accounts
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace user accounts, subject to the requirements above.
- Covered data
- Only data backed up through the required immutable backup systems. Data on desktops, laptops or other endpoints is covered only if it is backed up to them.
- Remote worker devices
- Ship the device to DivergeIT or bring it to your office for service.
- Software
- Third-party software DivergeIT doesn’t provide or manage is not covered: only Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and the Windows Server operating system.
- Desktop restoration
- Desktops and laptops are restored to a working state with the operating system and managed software. Custom settings, third-party apps and local data are yours to restore.
- Physical damage
- Repairing or replacing physically damaged hardware is not covered.
- Security policies
- Excluded if the attack results from not following DivergeIT’s recommended security policies and procedures.
- Withheld information
- Excluded if information that could have prevented the attack was withheld.
- Non-standard use
- Excluded if the attack results from non-standard or inappropriate use of your systems.
03 · New ManageIT agreements
Seamless transition to DivergeIT

-
Hands-on help
Experts work beside your team through every step of the migration.

// FAQ
Guarantee questions, answered
Who is eligible for the DivergeIT guarantees?
Customers signing a new ManageIT agreement. Each guarantee also names its own scope: the 5-minute live-expert credit and action on feedback cover every ManageIT plan, ransomware recovery covers ManageIT Plus and Pro with DivergeIT immutable backup, and the free annual cybersecurity assessment comes with any SecureIT plan, which every ManageIT plan includes.
How do I claim the $100 credit?
Call the support hotline or start a live chat. If you don’t reach a live expert within 5 minutes, report it within 24 hours. Once validated, $100 is credited on your next invoice, up to $300 per billing cycle. Email and portal requests aren’t eligible.
Is the 15-minute response time a guarantee?
It’s a service level in your agreement: critical issues get a response within 15 minutes on ManageIT Plus and Pro and 30 minutes on Core, measured against a 90% target. The guarantee with a credit attached is the 5-minute connection to a live expert.
