Further in 2022, it received the distinction of ‘Top Managed Security Services Company’ by CyberSecurity Review.
Speaking of its most popular offering, General Informatics vCIO and vCISO services continue to gain momentum as the importance of prioritizing technology and cyber security within an organization become more pertinent. The complex and ever-changing cyber security landscape requires a certain level of expertise that most organizations do not have the time or resources to navigate. Besides, hiring an in-house CIO or CISO is not affordable for most small to medium-sized organizations. Thus, by contracting out a vCIO and/or vCISO, more businesses are able to access the technology and security guidance needed for their organization without having to face the burden of seeking the talent pool and significantly adjusting their budget.

The company’s support teams understand that downtime for the clients means lost productivity and revenue. Its support structure enables it to serve the clients irrespective of the scenario.
