State & Local Government
Public agencies manage sensitive citizen data on tight budgets. We help municipalities and agencies modernize legacy IT, build resilience against ransomware, and maintain public trust.
Common Challenges
- ⚠ Ransomware: Local governments are frequent targets due to perceived lack of defenses.
- ⚠ Budget Cycles: Difficulty procuring modern tools within rigid fiscal year constraints.
- ⚠ Compliance (CJIS): Police and justice data requires strict handling and background checks.
How We Help
- ✓ Resiliency: Immutable backups and disaster recovery plans to ensure essential services survive attacks.
- ✓ Modernization: Strategic roadmaps to move from aging on-prem hardware to secure cloud hybrid models.
- ✓ Co-Managed IT: We can work alongside internal IT staff, handling security/backend while they handle users.
