Cyber-attacks are dynamic and unpredictable, hence making unwarranted assumptions can be costly. If executed properly, decision-making techniques, along with technologies, will help mitigate and minimize the effects of Cyber-attacks.
Managed technology compliance services are the surest way for businesses to protect their data. As companies grow and hire more employees, maintaining and implementing consistent technology security policies is becoming increasingly more important. The loss of information, data, or trade secrets, can be devastating to any business, and be a reason for the loss of revenues.
Advanced knowledge and tools are needed to monitor and mitigate vulnerabilities that most IT groups fail to identify. A basic compliance understanding is not enough. Understanding all aspects of compliance frameworks and how they are correctly applied to networks and systems are necessary to help maintain security protection and compliance. The Global IT managed compliance services are included within the managed MSP plans. They cover every aspect of compliance, along with expert teams, vendor software, and staff, to help and navigate or automate the process.

Any business that stores, processes or transmits cardholder data is required to be PCI compliant. Like any compliance regime, PCI DSS can be complex and difficult to manage. Attention to detail sets our managed compliance services apart from the competition. We strictly follow the Global IT Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The PCI DSS outlines the best practices for securing credit card data that is stored, processed or transmitted. Global IT is certified as a PCI DSS Service Provider and conduct monthly scanning of required systems.

SOC1 and SOC2 are attestation standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that addresses examination engagements for service providers. Each year, an external auditing firm completes System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 reviews of our data center facilities. The reports provide customers with the assurance of corporate controls, including security and environmental compliance, and validation of the Data Centers' commitment to the most stringent standards of excellence in our data center operations.
Global IT Data Center (LA4) developed internal control objectives to support first-class data center management services that were used to complete the SOC 1 examination. The SOC 2 examination uses standardized, third-party criteria to validate the Data Centers' compliance outlined in the Trust Services Principles.
ISO 27001
Our Data Center facility has achieved the International Organization for Standardization certification (ISO 27001) covering both corporate policies and procedures. The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification is one of the most stringent certifications for information security controls and confirms the information security controls and other forms of risk treatment are in place to detect and defend against potential data system vulnerabilities. This prestigious, internationally-recognized certification reflects our commitment to provide customers with secure, reliable, and high-performance data center Cloud solutions.
NIST 800-53
Each year, an independent Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) firm completes an external assessment to validate our Data Centers' strict adherence to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Publication Series 800-53 (NIST 800-53) high-impact baseline controls and additional Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) requirements. The scope of the assessment includes a subset of control families applicable to colocation services at our data center facilities. The utilization of the high-impact baseline controls for NIST 800-53 reflects our commitment to successfully delivering the most rigorous compliance standards to support our customers’ Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and FedRAMP compliance efforts. NIST 800-53 is a publication that recommends security controls for federal information systems and organizations. NIST 800-53 is published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology which creates and promotes the standards used by federal agencies to implement FISMA and manage other programs designed to protect information and promote information security.

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Surveys show that 11% of cybersecurity breaches are targeted attacks, and 13% are acts of corporate espionage, designed to steal state or trade secrets. Malware and account takeovers are involved in 48% and 14% of attacks respectively.
Almost every industry and every level of government agency are under attack. Organizations are justified in looking for additional security tools to discover and thwart such attempts. A main goal of EDR is often reducing the Mean Time To Respond (MTTR), given that many reports show that attackers can spend months inside organizations before being detected.
EDR solutions look for evidence and effects of malware or other malicious activities that may have slipped past Endpoint Protection (EPP) products and other security tools, such as email/web gateways. Security professionals refer to such data points as Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Examples of IOC types include:
EDR Enterprise Inspector collects and analyzes information to help security analysts determine if malicious activities have occurred. The solution also allows for pre-configured remediation actions to be executed when certain conditions are met.
