Our history

Three brothers who grew up in a family IT business

James, Blair and Elliot Munro grew up in their parents’ small computer business on the southern Gold Coast and Tweed. In 2015 they merged their businesses to form GCIT.

In 1996 our dad brought home a computer in pieces. By grade nine we were fixing computers around the neighbourhood. Technology changes faster every year. We’re still the same family, answering the same phone number.

Questions

Before you call

Straight answers to what business owners ask us first.

What does GCIT actually do?

We help businesses run smoothly, stay secure, and plan for the future by managing their IT, cybersecurity and AI & automation.

As a managed service provider (MSP), we take a proactive approach, focusing on reliability, security, and long-term strategy rather than waiting for things to break.

Do you work with businesses of our size?

We work with small to mid-sized businesses that want dependable IT and cybersecurity without the overhead of managing it internally. GCIT Essentials, our entry managed IT plan, is for a minimum of 10 users, from A$1,442 a month ex GST (A$144.23 per user a month). Microsoft 365 licences are billed separately.

What makes GCIT different from other IT providers?

GCIT was formed in 2015 when Gold Coast IT businesses that had been running since 2003 merged. Together we have supported Gold Coast organisations for more than 20 years.

We are the Gold Coast’s highest-rated MSP on Google (as at 10 October 2026, how we check this), and we were the first Gold Coast-based MSP certified to ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, reflecting our commitment to security, quality and consistent service delivery.

What’s included in your managed IT services?
  • Unlimited remote user support
  • Proactive system and device management
  • Cybersecurity tailored to your risk profile
  • On-site support when needed
  • Ongoing IT strategy and planning with a senior adviser (a virtual CIO)
Do you replace our internal IT team?

Some of our clients use GCIT as their entire IT team, while others use us in a co-managed model to support internal staff. We adapt to what makes the most sense for your business.

In most cases, organisations with an internal IT team engage us to provide additional expertise and security monitoring.

How do you help protect our business from cyber threats?

Cybersecurity is built into everything we do. Every managed service plan includes continuous improvement of your security posture, not just a one-off setup.

We build secure, automated processes, particularly across Microsoft 365, that strengthen protection without slowing your team down.

We hold ourselves accountable for this continuous improvement by making our customers’ average security posture a key measurable for our externally audited ISO compliance. Our clients’ average Microsoft Secure Score is about 1.8x the Microsoft average for organisations with 101 to 1,000 seats (October 2026).

We’re interested in cybersecurity, but don’t know where to start.

That’s common. We start by reviewing your current environment to identify risks and vulnerabilities, then provide clear, practical recommendations so you can decide the right level of protection for your business.

What’s involved in switching to GCIT?

We handle access, documentation, system reviews, and onboarding planning. Our process is structured to minimise disruption while ensuring everything is properly secured and supported.

Do you offer fixed monthly pricing?

Yes. Most clients are on predictable monthly plans, making IT costs easy to budget for with no surprise bills.
