Industry-Specific IT Expertise in Central Ohio

Insurance Agencies & Carriers: Lenders, advisors, accountants and insurers fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule or GLBA, which require a qualified individual, a written information security program, MFA, encryption and annual reporting to the board or owner. We build that program in a form an examiner or auditor recognizes. Our team understands the specific compliance, security, and operational technology requirements that insurance agencies & carriers organizations in Columbus must meet. We design IT solutions that address these requirements from day one, rather than retrofitting generic technology to fit industry-specific needs.

Healthcare Practices & Pediatric Providers: The HIPAA Security Rule expects a documented risk analysis, and it is the document most practices cannot produce when asked. We run that analysis, then fix what it finds: MFA on email and the EHR portal, encrypted laptops, tested backups, and business associate agreements with the vendors who actually touch patient data. Our team understands the specific compliance, security, and operational technology requirements that healthcare practices & pediatric providers organizations in Columbus must meet. We design IT solutions that address these requirements from day one, rather than retrofitting generic technology to fit industry-specific needs.

Manufacturing, Automotive & Defense Suppliers: Suppliers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information inherit DFARS 7012, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0. The first decision is scope: an enclave that keeps CUI in a small, well-controlled environment usually costs far less than bringing the whole company into assessment. We design that scope, then build the System Security Plan and POA&M. Our team understands the specific compliance, security, and operational technology requirements that manufacturing, automotive & defense suppliers organizations in Columbus must meet. We design IT solutions that address these requirements from day one, rather than retrofitting generic technology to fit industry-specific needs.

Retail, Consumer Brands & Growing Companies: Anything that takes cards falls under PCI DSS 4.0, whose future-dated requirements became mandatory in March 2025. For multi-location restaurants, hotels and shops, the work is usually segmentation of the payment network, MFA for remote access, and reducing how much of the environment is in scope at all.
