DataCentric, a leading provider of IT support services, announced today that it has partnered with T3i, a recognized leader in information security and risk management. This partnership will allow DataCentric and its GuardIT automated data backup product to more effectively assist clients in mitigating risk and meeting security and compliance requirements.

“Almost every day we hear about companies being sued or fined for not properly securing confidential customer or employee information.” says Anne Marsden, DataCentric’s COO. “As the IT support arm of our clients, it is our responsibility to help them identify and address all areas of potential vulnerability in their information management. Partnering with T3i enables DataCentric to provide clients with a secure, operationally effective IT environment that supports their unique business requirements and mitigates risk.

"We are excited to have DataCentric join us as a strategic partner," said Marc Helms, COO of T3i. "They have a great track record in delivering high quality IT infrastructure support services”. Mr. Helms continues "According to the latest *CSI/FBI crime and security survey the average cost of a security breach to an organization is $167,000. As the need to exchange business information with customers and suppliers increases, an organizations ability to demonstrate due diligence for information security and compliance is no longer a choice, but a Federal, State or Industry Requirement."

DataCentric will use T3i’s CIPP (Compliance, Infrastructure, Policy and Physical) analysis to examine the global perspective of the client’s network and the regulatory environment, with a focus on people, process and technology. This holistic approach provides insight into the major issues surrounding the management and maintenance of information and network systems, as mandated by current government regulations and industry standards, including HIPPA, SAS70, Sarbanes-Oxley, and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. Combined with DataCentric’s GuardIT data backup service, clients receive a higher level of security and informational control. GuardIT is a fully automated daily backup service that encrypts and transmits client’s data to DataCentric’s fully secured data warehouse.
