Myth vs. Fact: Security
There’s no secret: teaming with Stratix Systems for Managed IT Services can deliver improved results—plus cost savings that are truly significant. Still, myths persist about Managed IT Services. And many of those myths are at direct odds with the very reasons why the most successful organizations choose Managed IT Services.
We’re going to explode one of those myths right now.
Myth: We’re worried about security risks: data, files, applications, privacy, compliance, intrusion, viruses, etc.
In our always-connected world, security is a huge concern for every organization, large or small. Whether network and device security, data security, compliance-driven security or business information security, a breach can be both disruptive and costly.
Facts:
As security threats grow in quantity and complexity, organizations need increasingly sophisticated expert help identifying the most important threats and effectively preventing them.
Today’s infrastructure is better than ever, but sometimes, it fails—translating into downtime, higher cost and lost data.
Most smaller organizations cannot justify employing a knowledgeable security expert.
This is an area where our economies of scale (in terms of people, systems, etc.) have great advantage. Stratix Systems engineers are constantly looking for alerts against whatever a business needs to watch out for, whether it’s general problems that any business wants to avoid (like unauthorized access) or specific issues for compliance (like for HIPAA)— through 24×7 monitoring, maintenance, multiple geographically dispersed data centers and expert consultation
Further, with Stratix outsourcing, a client doesn’t have to be a security expert or even employ one. Stratix Systems engineers are experts at mitigating risk. Stratix Systems engineers are also experts at security, business continuity and disaster recovery.
Because we specialize in IT, we can offer a level of security and expertise beyond what most small businesses can provide. We utilize technology like offsite data centers and data encryption, so we’re equipped to handle privacy and contingency requirements.
Additionally, with Stratix Systems, client data is stored in a much more secure environment than the client organization would be able to provide on its own—that our solutions are SAS 70 certified, HIPAA compliant, and data is encrypted before it leaves the client’s premise and in transit—the same standards utilized by the banking industry.
Think you’re too small? Think again. According to a recent Computer Economics study, organizations with fewer than 300 employees stand to benefit the most from managed IT services and outsourcing their IT support.
The bottom line: If growing your business, while controlling costs, is on your mind, it’s time to talk with Stratix Systems.
