Addressing Worthington's Unique IT Needs:

Worthington's diverse and vibrant business sector demands IT services that are not only robust but also agile and forward-thinking. Our services are designed to meet these needs, ensuring that your business is equipped to face the challenges and seize the opportunities of the digital age.

Do you provide on site IT support across Greater Worthington?

Yes. We dispatch same day and scheduled on site support across Cuyahoga County, including Downtown, University Circle, Midtown, Ohio City, Tremont, Flats/Warehouse District, Fairfax/Cleveland Innovation District, and suburbs along I 71/I 90/I 480. Remote help desk resolves most issues first; we roll a local engineer when on site is the fastest fix.

How do you support Worthington’s healthcare and biomedical research organizations?

We help protect PHI and research data with HIPAA aligned controls, access management, email and endpoint security, backups, and audit ready documentation. We also standardize Microsoft 365 security and provide user training to reduce insider risk.

Can you help aerospace and advanced manufacturers meet defense/security requirements?

Yes. We map and implement controls aligned to NIST CSF/CIS Controls and support CMMC readiness for defense adjacent suppliers. Services include risk assessments, hardening, logging/monitoring, evidence collection, and remediation roadmaps.

Do you manage Microsoft 365 and Azure for Worthington teams?

Yes. We handle licensing optimization, security (MFA, Conditional Access, DLP), Teams/SharePoint governance, Intune device management, and Azure cost/performance tuning, with routine policy reviews and user training.

What does onboarding look like for a new Worthington client, and how fast can you start?

Typical onboarding runs 2–4 weeks. We inventory and document, secure identities and email, deploy EDR and backups, standardize endpoints, and go live with the help desk. Cutovers can be scheduled after hours or weekends to minimize disruption.

How do you prepare Worthington businesses for cyber insurance and incidents?

We align required controls (MFA, EDR, backups, email security, logging), assist with questionnaires, and remediate gaps. If an incident occurs, we execute a documented response plan, contain threats, coordinate with your carrier and legal, and restore critical systems first.

Do you offer co managed IT to extend our internal team in Worthington?

Absolutely. We provide 24/7 monitoring, patching, security stack management, ticket overflow, and project engineering while your team retains strategy and approvals. We integrate with your existing tools and processes.

How do you help companies maintain operations during lake effect storms or power outages?

We put business continuity first: redundant internet/cellular failover, battery/generator planning, prioritized application recovery, and tested backups. We also enable secure remote work so your users can stay productive if the office is inaccessible.

Can you support compliance for financial services and professional firms in Downtown and the suburbs?

Yes. We implement security best practices aligned to examiner expectations, provide policies/procedures, user training, device management, email and data protection, and audit ready evidence to simplify reviews and renewals.

What are your average response and resolution times for Worthington clients?

Our help desk answers in under 60 seconds on average, with priority incidents triaged within 15 minutes. Most tickets are resolved in under 2 business hours; critical incidents are handled immediately 24/7.

How do you help organizations based outside the Columbus metro area?

We've been serving organizations across Ohio for over 30 years from our office in Dublin, and distance has never been a barrier to great service. Our remote‑first model means most issues are resolved quickly without waiting for someone to drive to your location, and we dispatch on‑site engineers for hands‑on needs, projects, and escalations. Whether you need a full managed IT program or co‑managed support to extend your internal team, you get one accountable local partner for help desk, security, compliance, backups, Microsoft 365, and strategic planning—no matter where your office is.

How do you handle/support AI?

We offer AI Alignment™, our structured AI governance program that helps organizations adopt AI responsibly without creating new security or compliance risks. We support Microsoft Copilot and other leading AI platforms, and we create a clear AI Acceptable Use Policy that defines which tools are approved, how data is protected, and how usage is governed across your organization. The goal is to give leadership visibility and control over how AI is being used so it becomes a managed business capability rather than an uncontrolled risk.
