IT services in Ohio

Managed IT for Ohio businesses.

Ohio businesses are on the cloud plan, supported remotely from Wisconsin with hardware shipped configured. Ohio has something no other Midwest state does: a law that rewards businesses for having a real cybersecurity program, and we build programs that qualify.

Ohio data and breach laws your IT has to satisfy

Ohio's Data Protection Act (2018) gives businesses an affirmative defense in data-breach lawsuits if they maintain a written cybersecurity program that reasonably conforms to a recognized framework such as NIST or the CIS Controls. It is a safe harbor, not a mandate, and it is one of the best reasons an Ohio business has to document its security properly. Ohio's breach notification law applies to everyone; insurance licensees fall under the Ohio Insurance Data Security Law. We build the written program, map it to the framework, and keep the evidence, so the safe harbor is available if it is ever needed.

How the cloud plan works in Ohio

Onboarding follows the same written sixty-day plan as every client: transition prep and hardware ordering thirty days out, discovery and software twenty days out, hardware installed a week before day zero, a kick-off, and a check-in at sixty days. Support is by phone and email to a technician, not a queue. Hardware is configured and tested in our Wisconsin shop and shipped ready to plug in, with a technician on the phone when it arrives. Project visits are quoted case by case.

Questions from Ohio businesses

What does the Ohio Data Protection Act safe harbor require?

A written cybersecurity program that reasonably conforms to a recognized framework and is scaled to the business. We build it around the CIS Controls and document it.

Do you support Ohio businesses from Wisconsin?

Yes, on the cloud plan. Remote helpdesk, monitoring, Microsoft 365, backup and security, hardware shipped configured.
