Right Hand Becomes First Pittsburgh based Managed IT Service Provider to Earn
CompTIA Security Trustmark+™
Validation that Right Hand uses industry accepted security best practices
The CompTIA Security Trustmark+ validated that Right Hand uses the security processes identified by the IT industry as generally accepted best practices. Additionally, an independent third-party assessor evaluated Right Hand and confirmed it meets the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ criteria. Based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ is a comprehensive review of the security posture of any IT business, applicable across multiple industries and compliance regulations.
“The CompTIA Security Trustmark+ signifies that Right Hand adheres to our industry’s highest standards for security practices and business processes in critical components of identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery as related to data security,” said Nancy Hammervik, senior vice president, industry relations, CompTIA. “Earning the Security Trustmark+ demonstrates a true commitment to address the challenges of security compliance facing our industry today.”
“In a world of increasing threats, organizations are looking to managed service providers (MSPs) to help keep their organizations secure – making the MSP industry a target for hackers. To reassure our clients after numerous MSP breaches last year, we strictly follow NIST best practices for robust security. While we have been actively following best practices since our inception, the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ gives the third-party validation that companies can count on when deciding to work with us or any other managed service provider,” said Josh Wilhelm, President of Right Hand.
To earn the Security Trustmark+, Right Hand Inc successfully passed an independent assessment of their policies, capabilities, practices, and processes against industry best practices in areas such as:
1. Security technologies, including firewalls, anti-Virus/ malware/ spyware and intrusion detection
2. Vulnerability assessment detection
3. Data encryption
4. Technical employee knowledge/expertise
5. Security clearances and background checks
6. Physical and hardware security
7. Permissions, passwords and other security requirements
