Education 

Compliance and access to funding go hand-in-hand. Schools and libraries are expected to protect student and employee records, fulfill data retention requirements, support eDiscovery for legal data requests, and maintain a safe and secure network. We’re also happy to answer questions, when possible, on the E-Rate process. 

IT for Education

Financial services

Keeping sensitive financial information secure may include more than using a reputable payment processor. We can provide guidance and technical expertise to keep payment info secure on your workstations, servers, and network. Many PCI-DSS requirements are part of a healthy IT strategy that will help your business function better. 

Benefits of IT compliance consulting

Reduce risk

Non-compliance increases your risk of compromising sensitive data, whether personal, financial, or something else. The effects can be wide-ranging and include:

  • Harm to your customers 
  • Financial loss 
  • Fines and penalties 
  • Contract ineligibility 
  • Reputational damage 

Our team at E-N Computers will focus on minimizing these risks.

Improve efficiency

Often, organizations think of compliance as a burden that slows their workflow. In our experience, though, many organizations maintain ‘efficiency’ by cutting corners. That might include leaving data accessible to too many people, using shared login credentials without safeguards, or failing to secure your company network.

Our team can provide guidance on how to implement technology that supports compliance requirements while improving the efficiency and quality of your work. 

Stay on budget

Compliance requires investment of time, money, and other resources. By planning ahead, we can better anticipate your needs, set a reasonable budget, and avoid having to do things over. You’ll work with our team to: 

  • Develop a custom compliance plan that meets your needs and budget 
  • Make technology decisions that save time and money 
  • Avoid fines and penalties with proactive measures 

“With previous experience limited to sluggish legacy support, based on a remote break/fix model, our concept of responsiveness was nothing compared to what was introduced to us by the folks at E-N. We now have a team that not only responds to help requests within minutes, but also provides boots on the ground on a monthly basis with regularly scheduled site visits.

Case Study

Helping highly regulated businesses plan and save

Our client – a Richmond-area aviation contractor – is well on the road to CMMC compliance – without killing their business with overwhelming IT costs. Here’s how they did it with our CMMC managed IT services (which includes CMMC consulting).

This particular government contractor (who also serves commercial clients) came to us about six years ago. At first, they were looking for a full-time IT person but then saw the value of our staff augmentation services. Not long after, they hired us as a managed IT services provider.

Six years may seem like an incredibly long time to be on the road to CMMC compliance, but we weren’t just working on CMMC over those years. A lot of what we’ve been doing is day-to-day user support that includes everything from onboarding to setting up conference room phone systems to refreshing their VPN, computers and server.

Planning for compliance costs

Planning ahead for CMMC allowed our client to move toward compliance and still keep their business running. A small business only has capacity to do so much in a year. And you need to plan for and spread out your costs. For example, we did a server refresh one year and migrated the company to Microsoft GCC High the next year.

We took a huge step last year when we moved this client into a Department of Defense approved cloud product. Moving to a FedRAMP-approved tenant like Microsoft GCC High reworks everything – your email and all your settings have to be redone, all of your devices need to be managed, and you have to build out more policies than before – and document them.

Every time you change out a system, you’re going to have to revisit policies and procedures, so we are helping our client write those, which takes substantial time and effort.
