InfoSec

Information Security Assessment and Remediation Services
What is InfoSec?

InfoSec refers to information security, which is a very broad term that encompasses basically anything relating to data or information management, control and protection.

For businesses, InfoSec is typically used to describe the practice of protecting and controlling access to a company’s data, including customer and end-user information, financial data, internal company information, shareholder data, etc.

Should we care about InfoSec?

Generally speaking, most SMBs that suffer a significant security breach or data loss will at best experience a large financial strain, sometimes lasting several years as a direct result of the incident. At worst, it will be the end of the company, with around 60% of companies who experience a successful attack closing their doors within 6 months.

As such, it’s fairly obvious why information security, or rather the practice of securing and protecting a company’s data, is considered vital.

What InfoSec services do you offer?

Alpha Information Technology offers services specifically tailored to SMBs in an effort to address the challenge they face in today’s IT threat landscape.

Many SMBs don’t really have the time or resources to commit to InfoSec and as such it’s an area that gets ignored until a breech or hack occurs, and most security consultants they might engage will recommend solutions and systems designed for large enterprises that are just not suitable or financially feasible for an SMB to implement or utilize.

We provide straightforward security assessments and remediation services for a broad range of areas and systems, including Active Directory/Group Policy, AzureAD/Intune, networking, Windows, on-prem storage systems, SharePoint, and more.

Our recommendations resulting from our assessments are practical and attainable for SMBs and have legitimately and proven positive effects on a company’s security posture.

We don’t recommend any ‘all-or-nothing’ approaches, but rather use layered systems and changes that can be implemented independently or in conjunction with others as desired and able.

We also don’t recommend ‘theoretical’ or financially impractical or operationally unfeasible solutions or improvements, nor do we try and ‘sell’ systems or platforms or solutions that are designed for large enterprises but are unsuitable for SMBs.

How do you price InfoSec services?

InfoSec services are priced both in hourly rates based on our Consulting services rates as well as in per-project pricing as detailed on our Projects services page.

Typically the assessments will be done at hourly rates, and then any applicable remediation and implementation work will be planned, detailed and priced as a project with a fixed fee.
