At MIS Solutions, we take pride in setting ourselves apart.

What size businesses do you service?
Our ideal clients are businesses with 20–200 computer users, headquartered in the metro Atlanta and Gwinnett County areas.
What happens if an employee’s laptop is lost or stolen?
We use disk encryption on both laptops and desktop computers to keep data on these devices, such as client data or email, safe.
What training do you provide for our staff when implementing new IT systems?
At MIS, we have adopted a “train the trainer” approach. We provide direct training and support to key decision makers and stakeholders so they can then train their staff on how to use any new technology.
What is IT consulting, and why do small to mid-size businesses need it?
Companies experiencing rapid growth, planning a significant IT infrastructure upgrade, or looking to accelerate their digital transformation can benefit from working with an IT consulting firm like MIS Solutions. IT consulting involves providing expert advice and solutions to help businesses make informed decisions about their technology infrastructure and strategy. Small to mid-size businesses often lack the in-house expertise to manage their IT effectively. We can help avoid costly mistakes in IT planning, streamline operations, enhance security, and optimize IT resources to improve efficiency and competitiveness.
How do I choose the right IT consultant for my business?
When selecting an IT consultant, consider their experience, certifications, and track record in working with businesses similar to yours. Ask for references and assess their communication skills and ability to understand your specific business needs. Look for transparency in pricing to ensure you’re not surprised by unexpected costs. A consultant should be a good fit both technically and culturally for your organization. MIS Solutions has almost three decades of experience in designing innovative infrastructure, cloud computing solutions, and troubleshooting complex technology and business obstacles.
What IT consulting services do you offer?
We offer a wide range of services, including IT strategy development, enterprise network design and maintenance, cybersecurity assessments, cloud migration, data management, and technology vendor evaluations. We ensure our recommendations align with your business objectives and address your IT challenges.
How can you help with cybersecurity and data protection?
We start with a thorough evaluation of your IT infrastructure and IT systems to assess your current cybersecurity posture, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend security measures to protect your business from threats like cyberattacks and data breaches. We can also guide you in developing and implementing data backup and disaster recovery plans to ensure full data recovery and business continuity.
What is the typical cost structure for IT consulting services?
At MIS, we opt for the fixed fee approach to consulting to help our clients budget. However, if the scope is not well defined, we will transparently share and then bill as progress is made. We always keep the client looped in to our progress and hours spent because we subscribe to the “no surprises” philosophy and avoid the “open checkbook” methodology. Our IT consulting for a defined scope starts at $3,500 for 20 hours of consulting. The key to consulting is setting clear expectations, working together, and staying aligned through frequent communication.
How can IT consulting benefit my business in the long run?
IT consulting can have long-term benefits for your business by improving operational efficiency, reducing downtime, enhancing security, and ensuring that your technology investments align with your business goals. It can also provide scalability and flexibility to adapt to evolving technology trends and industry changes.
What cybersecurity services do you offer?
At MIS, we have a layered cybersecurity approach involving people, processes, and technology. Our technology stack includes firewall management, next-generation antivirus, advanced threat and intrusion detection, email security, risk assessments, mobile device management, multifactor authentication, immutable and offsite backups, and more. We also offer security awareness training for our clients’ employees and provide guidance on establishing proper processes and administrative controls to reduce the risk of human error.
How does MIS handle data privacy and ensure client information is protected?
MIS works within the NIST framework, a set of guidelines published by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. This approach to cybersecurity ensures that we implement robust cybersecurity measures such as data encryption, access controls, regular security audits, risk assessments, and others. Our commitment to NIST standards means we stay aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
Does MIS offer tailored cybersecurity solutions for different industries within Atlanta?
Yes! We are well-versed in many business-critical applications and systems used by various businesses that we serve. We are also experienced in helping our clients achieve compliance within their specific industries. Working with MIS means you will be working with a managed IT services provider who is already familiar with many of the applications you depend on to get things done.
In the event of a cyber breach, how can we be assured that our network can be restored in a timely manner?
Generally, when a breach occurs, your cyber insurance provider will insist the network be preserved for forensic evidence. But as a business owner, you need to get your systems back up and running as soon as possible. At MIS, we have created a separate dedicated restore environment with separate storage, servers, and firewall. Nothing is shared, yet the restored environment is identical to the original environment. This allows businesses to get back to business while preserving the evidence of the affected production environment for forensic evaluation. Also, our backup solution is immutable, meaning an intermediary agent ensures your server is never directly linked to backup storage, providing added protection against ransomware attacks.
What is SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance?
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is a rigorous auditing process performed by a third party that evaluates a company’s security controls over a period of six months to a year. It ensures that these controls are effectively designed and consistently operate to protect data and maintain privacy, integrity, and availability. Obtaining SOC 2 Type 2 certification is a process that must be completed annually.
How quickly can you restore systems and data in case of a disaster?
Our robust backup and disaster recovery solution allows us to restore systems within 24 hours, guaranteed, although we’re usually able to get our clients back up and running within minutes.
Is outsourced IT support suitable for small and midsize businesses?
Definitely! This is especially true for smaller organizations that might not have the financial resources, time, or knowledge to build an in-house IT department. Outsourcing IT takes the burden of IT management off your plate so you can focus on your core business.
When should I outsource IT services?
You should consider outsourcing your IT management if your business or industry must comply with strict regulatory requirements, you don’t have the capacity or time to manage IT internally, you want to transfer risks to a third party, you want to spend more time focusing on your core business instead of managing IT, your internal team occasionally needs access to a deeper pool of talent, such as a Chief Information Officer, or your internal IT staff is overwhelmed.
What should I look for when choosing a managed IT support provider?
Look for a managed service provider with a stellar reputation. Comb sites like Clutch and Cloudtango for top-rated IT providers, search for Google Reviews, and ask for references. You’ll also want to know what their experience is in working with other companies in your industry. Ask how long they’ve been in business and how many technical staff members they have.
How is my data stored and backed up?
Your data is hosted and backed up nightly at a Tier 3, SSAE 16 data center in Suwanee, Ga. In addition to the original backup, data is replicated in real-time to a second backup unit at the data center and to another redundant U.S.-based data center. Your data does not leave the United States. All three backups are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered, and they’re physically separated from your production network. So, if a hacker manages to infiltrate your production network somehow, they won’t be able to infect your backups with ransomware.
Can you ensure minimal downtime in the event of an IT system failure?
Costly downtime is a major concern for manufacturing firms, which is why we have established a robust backup and disaster recovery process that can get your systems up and running in as little as 15 minutes. And in the unlikely event that your company experiences an outage due to a cyber incident, you can rest assured that your backups are immutable and have not been altered or encrypted by hackers.
