Thriveon has been working with us and guiding us along the way…We enjoy having more than a client-vendor relationship. We view it as a partnership. We rely on Thriveon heavily, and they’ve always been there for us. Their support for us has been unwavering.

Kevin Sellheim

Thriveon truly focuses on the customer service side of the business. They impress us often with their support. And Thriveon is the first IT company that we found would prevent problems before they happen, rather than react to them after they happened.

John K.

GM, Kozy Heat Fireplaces

Thriveon has been an outstanding business alliance for our company. At certain times, we are high maintenance. It is wonderful to know that no matter what our demand, they are always there to help. In our industry, managing data and compliance are the cornerstone to ensuring privacy for our clients. Their reliability and dedication to network management lets us know we are protected. This has led to not only improvements in productivity but also peace of mind.

Dale Carlson

Managing Partner, Carlson Highland

Thriveon is one of the best things that happened to us this year. We started out retaining their services to obtain a more reliable and effective data backup solution, but their services to us evolved into a partnership where they are providing not only backup, but also disaster recovery, enhanced security, regular system and hardware monitoring and maintenance, and day-to-day speedy, reliable, professional and knowledgeable support services for all our IT needs (which Thriveon offers through their unlimited support program). Thriveon encourages support requests from all our staff members, for all of our IT questions, big or small, including questions regarding Microsoft Office and our other applications and software programs. Their engineers are friendly and really approachable.

A Practical GLBA Compliance Consulting Approach

Risk-based safeguards and audit readiness

Risk Assessment

Know where risk stands

GLBA readiness starts with a clear view of your current risk. Thriveon evaluates your technology environment, policies, data safeguards, access controls, backup practices, and security operations to identify gaps that matter most to the business.

You receive a quantifiable risk score, prioritized findings, and a practical roadmap that helps leadership decide what to fix first, what to budget for, and how to measure progress toward stronger compliance readiness.

Policy Development

Document what matters

Policies are only useful when they reflect how your organization actually operates. Thriveon helps create and refine the written procedures needed to support GLBA compliance, including acceptable use, access management, incident response, vendor oversight, data protection, and employee security expectations.

This documentation gives leaders, auditors, and employees a consistent operating model while reducing confusion around ownership, expectations, and required security practices.

Security Controls

Strengthen safeguards

GLBA requires reasonable safeguards for protecting customer information. Thriveon helps align your environment to practical security controls such as MFA, encryption, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, backups, disaster recovery planning, and security awareness training.

Controls are prioritized based on risk, business impact, and budget so compliance work strengthens operations instead of becoming an isolated technical project with unclear value.

Evidence Management

Prepare evidence early

Audit preparation is easier when evidence is organized before it is requested. Thriveon helps build and maintain the documentation needed to show that controls, policies, training, monitoring, and risk management activities are in place and current.

This creates a more efficient response process for leadership and technical teams, reduces last-minute scrambling, and gives your organization a clearer record of compliance progress over time.

User Training

Build user readiness

Your employees play a direct role in GLBA compliance because phishing, weak passwords, and poor data handling can create avoidable risk. Thriveon supports security awareness training that helps users recognize, avoid, and report suspicious activity.

Training is connected to broader cybersecurity controls and policies, giving your workforce practical guidance while helping leadership demonstrate a more complete approach to safeguarding customer information.

CIO Guidance

Guide executive action

Compliance should not sit apart from business planning. Thriveon’s Fractional CIO leadership helps connect GLBA priorities to technology roadmaps, annual budgets, vendor decisions, and operational risk management.

This executive-level guidance gives decision-makers a clear view of compliance investments, timelines, accountability, and expected business value so GLBA work supports growth, resilience, and better technology governance.

Turn GLBA Requirements Into a Practical Roadmap

GLBA compliance is not just a checklist. It requires clear ownership, documented safeguards, tested controls, and a practical plan for protecting customer information across your systems, vendors, users, and business applications.

Thriveon helps you turn GLBA requirements into an actionable cybersecurity and compliance program. That includes risk assessment, policy development, evidence management, security control alignment, and executive-level guidance so leaders can understand what needs attention, what it will cost, and how each step reduces business risk.

The result is a more disciplined compliance posture that supports audit readiness, stronger data protection, and smarter technology decisions.

Build Evidence, Controls, and Accountability

GLBA compliance becomes more manageable when the work is organized around clear controls, accountable owners, and measurable progress. Thriveon’s standards-based methodology helps identify gaps, prioritize risk, and document the safeguards needed to support compliance.

Cybersecurity risk assessment with a quantifiable score
Documented roadmap tied to business priorities and budget
Policy and procedure creation for security governance
Evidence management to support audit response
Layered safeguards including MFA, encryption, backups, and monitoring
Security awareness training to reduce phishing and social engineering risk

Align Compliance With Executive IT Strategy

Many organizations approach GLBA after a deadline, audit request, or customer concern. Thriveon helps shift that work from reactive to proactive by embedding compliance into the broader IT strategy.

Fractional CIO leadership connects GLBA priorities to roadmaps, budgets, vendor decisions, and operational goals. Cybersecurity specialists help validate safeguards, improve documentation, and support continuous improvement as requirements and risks change.

This approach gives leadership a clearer view of compliance status, technology risk, and next-step investments. Instead of guessing where to spend time and money, you gain a structured plan that supports business continuity, data protection, and long-term IT value.
