The teams at CIT are great! From management and the account team to the on-site engineering and cabling teams, they listen to our needs and are very professional, knowledgeable and fun to work with. In one case, Nick was very helpful to us introducing and navigating the E-Rate process for non-profits. Additionally, when we have asked questions outside of their responsibility, they were open to helping us get lined up with the right resources through sharing their deep technical expertise. Good people!

CIT is a great company to have by your side. They are very detailed and good at what they do, and are always able to answer our questions quickly and professionally. I have been very impressed with their ability to troubleshoot and help us out in a pinch. Nick Lesneski, our Account Executive, is simply the best. He will go to any length to help us out and make things right if we are feeling unsure of how a product works or if it isn't meeting our needs. I hope he never leaves! Go with CIT, you won't regret it.

I have worked with CIT for almost 5 years, and Nick Lesnesk has been my Account Executive for the majority of that time. They have been a great asset to have to help with projects and monitor our network. I also like the knowledge they possess and can get the answers I need promptly. They have been a key part of Polywater’s success.

I have been using CIT for my company for the last few years. After using a couple different IT companies over the years, it was a relief to find CIT. Nick Lesneski and his team are extremely responsive and easy to work with. Nick doesn't try to sell us on services and equipment we don't need and listens to what we do need. The on-demand help desk has been a huge bonus and the on-site techs know their stuff. I highly recommend CIT!!

Highly responsive and consistently outstanding service! That’s how I describe CIT’s managed IT services to anyone who asks. We have used them for all of our IT support needs for the past four years and every CIT person we have come in contact with has met that description. The service desk response is the best I have ever experienced, and when a tricky issue does arise they are tenacious in pursuing a solution.

Who is making sure your cybersecurity provider is secure?

Developed by the AICPA, SOC 2 is specifically designed for service providers storing customer data in the cloud. CIT stores customer data in the cloud so it is important that we meet SOC 2 requirements in order to minimize risk and exposure to that data.

What exactly does SOC 2 require?

SOC 2 requires companies to establish and follow strict information security policies and procedures, encompassing the security, availability, processing, integrity, and confidentiality of customer data. SOC 2 ensures that a company’s information security measures are in line with the parameters of today’s cloud requirements.

Cybersecurity regulation

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

  • Cybersecurity Leadership

  • Development of security program

  • Ensure secure alignment of corporate, strategic and technology initiatives

  • Develop a computer incident response plan

  • Help navigate Compliance regulations and audits such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, FFIEC, HIPAA, CCPA, etc.

  • Provide expertise during external security audits

  • Provide security budgeting recommendations and prioritization & more!

When do you know you need a vCISO?

Unable to afford a full time CISO 

Hiring a full-time CISO can be extremely expensive. Many CISOs cost over $200k when factoring salary and benefits, which is often too expensive for many small and medium organizations. By hiring a vCISO, you pay only for what you need. This may include a few hours per month, or a few hours per week.  

Unsure where to start with risk mitigation 

To remain defensible, security has quickly become a core function of business. Security risks are not limited only to technology. Mitigating risk properly requires extending attention to vendor management, policies and procedures, and corporate culture. The security landscape is rapidly changing, thus requiring constant identification, prioritization, and mitigation of these threats.  

Need assistance with compliance requirements 

Whether you are adopting a new security framework, or maintaining current compliance, our vCISO will help you navigate the compliance requirements. This includes documenting current security controls, identifying gaps in current controls, and planning a way forward.
