CompuOne Client Profile
An engineering firm (client confidential) with 20 employees and multiple office locations across California sought strategic cybersecurity guidance amid increasing regulatory pressure. After four years with a different IT provider, the firm faced mounting compliance risks, outdated systems, and the threat of losing key federal contracts.
CompuOne Client Focus
Despite the complexity of its operations, the firm lacked even the most fundamental IT policies and safeguards. A technical audit revealed:
Stale Security Patches
Critical security patches hadn't been applied in over two years.
No Formal Framework
No formalized cybersecurity framework or documentation was in place.
Masked Vulnerabilities
Previous vendor reports had hidden real infrastructure risk.
CMMC Unpreparedness
The firm wasn't ready for CMMC Level 2, now required for DoD contracting.
