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

CEO and Administrator, Sleepy Eye Medical Center

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 helped us replace a struggling IT setup with a clear technology strategy that improved efficiency, strengthened security, reduced unnecessary costs, and gave us the confidence to scale our construction business more effectively.

Ben Stealy

Operations, Horwitz

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.

Steve Franta

Managing Partner, The Legal Professionals

Thriveon has provided the strategic planning and foresight that had been lacking in our IT environment. Our IT investments have transformed from reactive to proactive, putting us on the right track to improve our infrastructure, reduce our downtime and plan for future improvements. They’ve been an invaluable business partner and resource.

Fractional CIO

Executive IT direction

Fractional CIO leadership gives your firm executive-level technology direction without adding a full-time executive role. Thriveon helps define a multi-year IT roadmap, annual budget, application strategy, security priorities, and project sequencing so technology decisions support firm goals.

This creates clearer accountability, stronger planning, and better visibility for managing partners who need IT to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and control costs.

Cybersecurity

Layered data protection

Legal data requires practical protection across email, documents, endpoints, cloud platforms, and user access. Thriveon applies layered cybersecurity controls, including MFA, endpoint detection and response, SIEM with 1-year retention, vulnerability management, security awareness training, encryption, backups, and disaster recovery planning.

Your firm gains a prioritized risk roadmap and ongoing monitoring designed to improve resilience without promising unrealistic protection.

Cloud and Microsoft 365

Secure document access

Cloud and Microsoft 365 environments can improve collaboration, mobility, and document access when they are governed correctly. Thriveon assesses licensing, identity controls, file structure, retention needs, and security settings to align the platform with legal workflows.

Whether your firm is reducing server dependency or improving remote access, the focus stays on secure usability, predictable budgeting, and fewer workarounds for attorneys and staff.

Legal App Strategy

Better matter workflows

Core legal applications influence matter management, document workflows, billing, and daily productivity. Thriveon provides strategic guidance for selecting, integrating, and optimizing systems such as Clio and NetDocs, with attention to data quality, security, adoption, and workflow fit.

Your firm receives practical recommendations that reduce unnecessary customization, improve operational consistency, and help leadership understand the business impact of each technology decision.

Proactive IT Support

Fewer recurring issues

Reactive support drains billable time when the same issues keep returning. Thriveon uses proactive IT management to audit environments against 500+ best practices, document systems, standardize configurations, and resolve root causes before they become repeated disruptions.

Support is backed by fast response metrics, including calls answered in under 1 minute and a 70% first-touch resolution rate, helping users return to work sooner.

Compliance Readiness

Audit-ready documentation

Law firms need policies, evidence, and documented controls that match client expectations and regulatory obligations. Thriveon supports compliance readiness through risk assessments, IT policy documentation, security procedures, evidence management, incident response planning, and audit preparation.

This gives leadership a clearer view of security posture, documented progress, and a practical plan for improving controls over time.

Turn Legal IT Into Strategic Leverage

Law firms depend on fast, secure access to documents, email, billing systems, research tools, and matter workflows. When technology is reactive, partners lose billable time, staff work around systems, and leadership lacks a clear plan for growth.

Thriveon brings Fractional CIO leadership, cybersecurity, and proactive IT management into one standards-based model. Your firm receives executive-level guidance, documented roadmaps, budgeting insight, vendor coordination, and continuous improvement across the technology environment. The focus is practical: reduce recurring issues, strengthen data protection, improve user productivity, and make technology decisions with confidence.

Prevent Problems Before They Disrupt Legal Work

Legal IT needs more than a responsive help desk. Thriveon applies proactive management to prevent recurring issues and align every system with how your firm operates.

Audits across Microsoft 365, identity, networks, endpoints, servers, and security controls
Alignment to 500+ self-developed best practices for consistency and issue reduction
Documented IT roadmaps and annual budgeting for better executive decisions
Secure access to legal documents, applications, and collaboration tools
Vendor and licensing oversight to reduce waste and tool duplication

Protect Client Data Without Slowing the Firm

Cybersecurity for law firms should reduce risk without creating unnecessary friction. Thriveon builds layered cybersecurity frameworks around your firm’s users, documents, devices, networks, and cloud platforms.

This includes managed endpoint detection and response, SIEM with 1-year retention, 24×7 Security Operations Center monitoring, MFA, vulnerability management, encryption, backups, disaster recovery planning, and security awareness training. Your leadership also receives risk assessment findings, prioritized remediation plans, and documentation that supports audit readiness. The result is a more resilient technology environment that protects sensitive client data while keeping attorneys and staff productive.
