Founded on relationships.
Driven by integrity.

My name is Bill Unger and I founded NorthGuard Group because I thoroughly believe we can do better. I believe in relationships, hard work, and community. I believe in a healthy life/work balance, and I work to ensure technology works for you — not against you.

I have over 25 years of IT experience with 22 of those years partnering with clients in Northern Michigan, many of whom I have worked with for over a decade.

A better approach to managed services.

The traditional MSP model often relies on high flat fees where you pay regardless of the work performed. NorthGuard offers an alternative: proactive, secure services using the same standards and tools as traditional MSPs, but with transparent pricing.

We charge a per-device fee covering multi-layered security — next-gen antivirus, vulnerability assessment, ransomware protection, password management, and automated health monitoring. Beyond that, you only pay for work actually performed. No contracts. No gimmicks. Just fair, honest IT support.

Ready to rethink your IT?

Whether you need full managed services, a security assessment, or just a conversation about where your technology stands — we're here.
