HBCG Brings Strength to Your Business

IT Assurance

Our IT Assurance practice pairs an enthusiastic knowledge of how technology, cybersecurity, and compliance “should be” with the deep, technical, real-world understanding of how it actually is. Whether it is a straight-forward cybersecurity best-practices review, a customized engagement driven by specific regulatory or customer concerns (CCPA, GDPR, NIST, etc.), or an attestation engagement like the SOC 1 and SOC 2, we come prepared to tackle business and technology problems together. When working with existing IT staff or other providers, our approach is always “help us – help you”. Our MSP practice ensures all IT Assurance professionals stay up to date on current trends and challenges, as well as exposing them to a wide variety of platforms, IT environments, and line-of-business software.

Managed Services (MSP)

Our Managed Services (MSP) practice takes a proactive security-first mindset to your IT environment whether you have 2, 20, or 200 employees. We bring a complete defense-in-depth toolkit powered by best-of-breed products to monitor, detect, and prevent unauthorized or malicious activity whether its programs on a workstation, malicious phishing e-mails, or attempts to break into a cloud service like Microsoft 365. We understand the necessary compromises between productivity and security and take a measured approach to help technology work for you not against you. For organizations with regulatory or compliance concerns, we are an especially good-fit due to our IT Assurance practice.

Managed Security Services (MSSP)

Our MSP and IT Assurance powers combined; we are your MSSP! Organizations with internal IT departments or a trusted MSP might want to add an additional layer of comfort or be required to demonstrate more consistent oversight to a board or regulatory entity. While one-time engagements like cybersecurity reviews are beneficial, they do not establish the type of consistent day-over-day month-over-month monitoring needed to stay abreast of emerging threats and remain compliant with regulatory frameworks. By leveraging a select combination of our audit and MSP toolsets, we bring intelligent actionable information to IT resources and management teams, ensuring your best outcome.

Strategic IT Leadership

At the end-of-the-day, technology can be a tough nut to crack whether you are a rapidly growing startup, a mature organization looking to pivot, or have lost a key IT resource. Through our Strategic IT Leadership offering, the partners of HBCG each bring more than 25 years of in-depth technical, IT management, and business expertise to clients in-need of an interim IT director, vCIO, vCSO, or who are looking for strategic technology guidance.
