What Are IT Support SOPs?

IT support standard operating procedures document the step-by-step processes your help desk and technical support teams follow to resolve common issues. They cover everything from password resets and account provisioning to software installation and system troubleshooting.

Well-documented IT SOPs reduce resolution times, ensure consistent service quality regardless of which technician handles the ticket, and make it easier to onboard new support staff. They also create audit trails for compliance and help identify recurring issues that need systemic fixes.

Whether your team uses a ticketing system like Zendesk, Jira Service Management, or Freshdesk, these templates give you a proven structure you can customize for your specific tools and environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What IT processes should have SOPs?

Any repeatable IT task benefits from an SOP. Common ones include password resets, account provisioning, software installation, system backups, ticket handling, incident response, and new employee IT setup. Start with the tasks your team handles most frequently.

How do I create IT SOPs with screenshots?

Use Folge to automatically capture your screen as you perform the procedure. Folge takes screenshots at each step, which you can annotate with arrows, highlights, and instructions. Export to PDF, Word, HTML, or your knowledge base.

How often should IT SOPs be updated?

Review IT SOPs at least quarterly or whenever you change tools, update systems, or discover a process gap during incident response. Assign an owner to each SOP to ensure regular reviews happen.
