The New Age of Engineering Firms: Cloud Solutions, Software Management, And More
Engineering firms are increasingly adopting cloud computing, advanced design tools, and remote collaboration platforms. However, implementing these technologies requires expert IT management to ensure security, efficiency, and seamless integration.
TechSage Solutions supports engineering firms by managing complex software licensing for programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, Bentley, and Bluebeam. We also focus on proactive IT support, optimizing your current network to support remote team members and offering cloud solutions that can store large CAD files if that's the direction you choose for your business.
With all of these offerings, TechSage will walk you through the best options for your business so your engineering firm can make empowered choices for its future.
Cybersecurity Challenges in the Engineering Industry and How to Address Them
Engineering firms handle sensitive client data, proprietary project files, and intellectual property, making them prime targets for cyber threats. Common cybersecurity risks include:
Ransomware Attacks
Phishing Scams
Data Breaches
Compliance Risks
TechSage Solutions provides proactive cybersecurity solutions, including:
- Advanced endpoint protection that monitors vulnerable points in your system and keeps them secure.
- Zero-trust network security, ensuring only authorized personnel access sensitive data.
- Regular security audits and compliance management for firms requiring CMMC or NIST compliance.
- Employee cybersecurity training to minimize human error and reduce risks.
Compliance Requirements for Engineering Firms Handling Sensitive Data
Engineering firms working on government projects or handling sensitive client data must comply with strict cybersecurity standards. Compliance requirements include:CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification): Required for firms working with government contracts.
ISO 27001: Best practices for securing intellectual property and project data.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Guidelines for protecting sensitive client information.
TechSage Solutions helps firms meet compliance requirements by implementing data encryption, access controls, and secure storage solutions.
Employee Training: Your Most Powerful Tool to Fight Threats
Many cyber threats stem from human error. Ongoing cybersecurity training ensures that employees recognize threats and follow best practices for IT efficiency. TechSage Solutions offers a robust training suite, teaching employees and business owners alike how to be proper stewards of their technology and maximize efficiency with their software.
Unlike many MSPs, though, TechSage isn't going to offer one training session and then be a poor business partner. We offer continuous guidance on updates and changes to technology and cybersecurity needs within the engineering space, so you're never left behind.
