Celebrating Our 25th Year – Helping the leaders of Small and Medium sized Businesses to achieve their Goals.
Over the past 25 years, we’ve developed standards that when implemented keep our customer’s IT systems running optimally. We meet with our clients regularly to compare their current technology state with our ideal state and then “roadmap” out the necessary improvements to meet our client’s timelines and budget.
Advantage Industries’ “Technology Success” program focuses on “reducing” trouble tickets BEFORE they occur, greatly reducing downtime for our clients. This is a starkly different approach to the Break/Fix model that most Managed IT Service providers follow.
In fact, our “ideal scenario” is when we have everything running so smoothly that our customer never has to call us to open a trouble ticket.
Imagine what that could do for your business.
As a Managed IT Security & Service Provider (MSSP) IT security is paramount to Advantage Industries. For this we turned to the Federal Government’s NIST 800-171 standards for IT Security.
The NIST 800-171 framework is the basis for ALL other IT Security Standards. Standards like GDPR, HIPAA, etc., all started with the NIST 800-171 framework and then tweaked it to meet their special needs.
Advantage Industries’ Suite of IT Security Tools is designed and configured to meet these Federal standards for great IT infrastructure hygiene. This is particularly important for Accounting Firms as they are one of the most frequently targeted industries for cybercriminals.
As a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) with the CMMC CyberAB, Advantage is certified to help companies get ready for the CMMC assessment.
In addition, we are well versed in other Compliance Requirements like PCI 4.0, FTC Safeguards, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, etc. Not being compliant with the regulations and standards that apply to your business can have disastrous consequences for your business in the event of a breach. To put it simply, the RISK is just not worth it. The time to act to protect your business is NOW!
