Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the real difference between MSP and MSSP services?

Our managed IT integrates security from day one. While traditional MSPs focus on uptime and helpdesk tickets, we prevent breaches by building security into every service. When you split MSP and MSSP providers, you risk security gaps and finger-pointing during incidents. Our integrated approach delivers SOC 2 Type 2 compliance with 15-minute response times - all through a single provider.

What makes Zero Trust architecture worth the investment?

Traditional security assumes everything inside your network is safe - that's why 94% of breaches start with compromised credentials. Our managed IT implements Zero Trust to verify every access request, reducing your attack surface by 90%. By preventing lateral movement through segmentation and continuous monitoring, we stop basic breaches from escalating into six-figure disasters.

How do managed services actually ensure compliance?

We transform compliance from annual firefighting into continuous validation. Our managed IT automatically maps your controls to frameworks like CMMC, NIST, and HIPAA. Instead of scrambling before audits, our continuous monitoring and remediation maintains audit-ready documentation, with monthly reports showing your exact compliance status across every framework. Managed services, done right.

What makes the ONE Platform different from basic managed IT?

The ONE Platform eliminates the complexity of juggling multiple providers and tools. Our managed IT integrates security, compliance and infrastructure management into a single pane of glass. With automated security validation and 15-minute response times, we deliver enterprise-grade protection without enterprise complexity or cost.

How does CrowdStrike compare to other endpoint security solutions?

Our managed IT leverages CrowdStrike's 99.9% breach prevention rate and user-friendly incident response interface. During an attack, you get clear visibility of affected systems and one-click isolation of compromised devices. Unlike competitors, CrowdStrike's advanced AI detection spots threats other tools miss, making it ideal for businesses without large security teams.

Cyber Readiness

The Power of ONE

At Ridge IT Cyber, we have developed a methodology for responding to breaches designed to attack, measure, and improve our clients' cyber posture. To be effective, today's cyber security strategies must move from a defensive-centric posture to an offensive-centric stance. The best way to do this is to attack continuously. We aim to detect in 1 minute, investigate in 10 minutes, and act in 60 minutes.

The only way to minimize attacks and breaches is to be an expert in your security tools. Beyond expertise in a tool, you must also possess investigative cybersecurity experience to meet the 1-10-60 standard. Ridge IT Cyber specializes in best-in-class solutions with the knowledge required to leverage their capabilities to the maximum effect. We represent the finest solutions on the market today.
