Waiting until your first cyber incident to get your house in order is one of the worst business decisions one can make. Proper technology and cybersecurity postures are now the hallmarks of a healthy organization. Alignment with modern security standards is now a requirement for all, even if your industry is unregulated. Proof of compliance now must be furnished to banks, insurance companies, investors, and often, even your clients. For CPAs, RIAs, CCIMs, and medical practices, failure to maintain proper security, data protection, and business continuity tools can result in severe financial penalties and/or the loss of your industry designation.
We’re just as good as the next guy (in fact, probably better) at removing malware, stopping hackers, or cleaning up after a breach. But we’re living in a different world-where cyberattacks increase threefold every year, with antivirus and firewalls only stopping 20% of modern threats. As workloads and data custody have flattened out and decentralized across the globe, the user has become the primary target in our post-COVID economy. One errant click of the mouse could mean the loss of millions of dollars, and potentially lead to a lawsuit & insurance claim after the attack pivots and infects your customers, patients, or vendors. In almost 50% of cases, new clients come to Top Notch immediately following a cyber incident or other meltdown, where they were previously managed by another IT company, or even worse, had no mechanisms of security or routine maintenance in place.
Hence, we’ve evolved to include cybersecurity and compliance as core offerings, with a small team of security-first professionals dedicated to this very space. SupraSense, our patented comprehensive security platform, took over 3 years to develop, and continues to evolve to meet today’s challenges with minimal disruptions to users as backend features are rolled out. Most MSPs are beholden to one company for security, backup, and remote management tools, because it’s easy and cheap. Our security stack uses the BEST of everything-when we found the best tool, appliance, or process didn’t exist for a certain purpose, we invented it.
The following tools, coupled with our industry-leading response time guarantee, are available exclusively to clients with a managed contract:
