Common Questions

How do you handle security incidents?

Unlike providers that just alert you to problems, our managed IT includes complete incident response. Our rapid response team isolates threats, prevents spread, and restores operations - all while maintaining detailed documentation for compliance and insurance requirements.

How do you reduce our attack surface?

Instead of endless security tools, our managed IT starts by making your business harder to target. We use advanced scanning and remediation to eliminate exposed services, while hiding critical assets behind multiple security layers. By "going dark" to attackers while maintaining business operations, we reduce your risk of becoming a target.

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 military-grade protection without enterprise complexity or cost.

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’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 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.

What does Picus actually do?

Picus continuously validates your security effectiveness by simulating real-world threats. Our ONE Platform leverages Picus to test defenses against 24,000+ attack scenarios, while our security operations team fixes vulnerabilities within minutes of detection.

How does Picus support CMMC compliance?

Picus helps validate CMMC controls through continuous monitoring and threat detection. Our CMMC compliance experts ensure findings translate into audit-ready documentation.

What is CrowdStrike Falcon?

Unlike traditional antivirus that waits for known threats, CrowdStrike prevents breaches before they happen. Our military-grade security platform combines AI-powered prevention with 24/7 human expertise. The platform delivers next-generation antivirus through Falcon Prevent, advanced endpoint detection and response capabilities, automated threat hunting, and integrated threat intelligence - all with guaranteed 15-minute response times.

Is CrowdStrike FedRAMP Certified?

Yes. CrowdStrike holds full FedRAMP authorization, trusted by federal agencies and defense contractors. Our CMMC compliance framework leverages CrowdStrike's government-grade protection. Beyond FedRAMP, the platform maintains critical certifications including CMMC compliance alignment, NIST framework compatibility, HIPAA certification, and PCI DSS validation - delivering complete compliance coverage for regulated industries.

What are conditional access policies in Intune and how do they work?

Conditional access policies evaluate multiple factors (device compliance, user identity, location, risk signals) before granting resource access. These policies enforce zero-trust principles by requiring appropriate authentication based on context rather than assuming network trust. Our zero trust implementation builds on conditional access for comprehensive security.

MSP MSSP: The Essential Difference That Impacts Your Security

MSP stands for Managed Service Provider - companies that handle your IT infrastructure, networks, and technical support. MSSP stands for Managed Security Service Provider - specialists focused on cybersecurity, threat detection, and incident response.

Our managed IT combines both functions - delivering infrastructure management with proactive security through the ONE Platform. This integration prevents the security gaps and finger-pointing that occur when separate providers handle your technology and security needs. You get enterprise-class infrastructure with advanced threat detection, 15-minute response times, and complete compliance coverage - all through a single provider with clear accountability for both reliability and security.
