What Makes Silicon Plains Different From My Current IT Guy?

What Silicon Plains does is totally different than what most IT companies do. Instead of charging you by the hour to fix broken computers, Silicon Plains has a flat monthly investment that covers advanced cybersecurity, proactive management of all networking and hardware, and unlimited help desk hours. When you work with Silicon Plains you don’t get charged by the problem, you only get solutions. 

How do you keep our confidential files safe—wherever we work?

We enforce Zero-Trust access: full-disk encryption, MFA, and conditional policies that restrict logins by device and location. Silicon Plains helps their clients achieve next level cybersecurity by implementing password managers, phishing training, ransomware protection, 24/7 advanced security operations, AI detection tools and more. Any business that hold personal data of any kind is a target, how well protected are you?

Can you help us stay audit-ready for regulations like IRS Pub 4557, FTC Safeguards, or GDPR?

We run quarterly assessments after on-boarding and will advise you on how and which changes need to be made in order to reach full-compliance. We will also create a plan during the initial onboarding to bring you up to audit-ready status as quickly as possible.
