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.

CEO and Administrator, Sleepy Eye Medical Center

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.

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.

Liza Kukla

Controller, Schell's

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.

Since partnering with Thriveon, we’ve experienced a significant improvement in our IT operations.

Risk Assessments

Find and Prioritize Risk

Network security begins with knowing where risk exists. Thriveon evaluates your environment against 500+ self-developed best practices, including firewalls, switches, wireless, servers, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Intune, and related systems.

You receive documented findings, prioritized remediation steps, and a practical roadmap that helps leadership decide what to fix first based on risk, cost, operational impact, and compliance requirements.

Firewall and Network

Secure Network Foundations

Firewalls, switches, and wireless systems are reviewed and configured to support secure, reliable access across your business. Thriveon looks beyond basic connectivity to assess segmentation, access rules, firmware, remote access, and documentation.

This helps reduce avoidable exposure, improve network consistency, and create a foundation that supports users, applications, cloud services, and business continuity without unnecessary complexity.

Threat Monitoring

Detect Threats Faster

Threats often move through endpoints before they affect the broader network. Thriveon combines Managed Endpoint Detection and Response, SIEM visibility, and 24×7 Security Operations Center monitoring to identify suspicious activity and support timely escalation.

Logs are retained for 1 year, giving your team better visibility for investigation, compliance, and trend analysis while reducing dependence on manual review.

Vulnerability Control

Fix Weaknesses Early

Vulnerability management helps you address weaknesses before they turn into operational problems. Thriveon uses ongoing scanning, patching, and standards alignment to identify outdated systems, misconfigurations, and exposed services.

Findings are prioritized so remediation is practical and tied to business impact. This supports continuous improvement, reduces recurring risk, and helps technology leaders make progress without overwhelming internal teams.

Policy Documentation

Document Security Proof

Security controls are stronger when they are supported by clear policies, procedures, and evidence. Thriveon helps create and maintain documentation for access control, incident response, data protection, backups, disaster recovery, and user responsibilities.

This structured approach supports audit readiness for frameworks such as CMMC, NIST, SOC II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI while giving leaders a clearer view of accountability.

Fractional CIO

Align Security Strategy

Network security should stay aligned with business goals as your organization grows. Thriveon’s Fractional CIO model connects technical security work to budget planning, leadership meetings, risk decisions, and a multi-year IT roadmap.

You get executive-level guidance on priorities, vendor coordination, compliance needs, and technology investments so security becomes part of strategic planning, not a separate technical conversation.

Turn Network Security Into Business Risk Management

Network security should do more than block threats. It should support business continuity, protect sensitive data, and give leadership clear visibility into risk. Thriveon applies a standards-based methodology that reviews firewalls, switches, wireless, servers, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Intune, and related systems against 500+ best practices.

The result is a practical security plan that connects technical controls to business priorities. You get prioritized recommendations, documented remediation steps, and executive-level guidance from a Fractional CIO so security investments are planned, budgeted, and aligned with growth, compliance, and operational needs.

Layered Protection Built Around How Your Business Works

Strong network security comes from disciplined layers, not isolated tools. Thriveon helps you strengthen the controls that protect users, systems, and data across the organization.

Firewall, switch, wireless, and network configuration reviews
Managed Endpoint Detection and Response for user devices
SIEM monitoring with 1-year retention for security visibility
24×7 Security Operations Center monitoring for threat escalation
MFA, encryption, vulnerability scanning, and patch management
Security awareness training to reduce phishing and social engineering risk

Each layer is documented and reviewed as part of a continual improvement process, helping you reduce recurring risk without adding unnecessary complexity.

Make Security Decisions With Clear Executive Visibility

Many security programs fail because leaders cannot see what is working, what is missing, and what should happen next. Thriveon brings structure through risk assessments, documented policies, evidence management, and security roadmaps that translate technical findings into business decisions.

You receive a quantifiable risk score, clear priorities, and guidance on which improvements matter most. For regulated environments, Thriveon supports frameworks such as CMMC, NIST, SOC II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI with documentation that helps simplify audit response. Security becomes a managed business function, not a collection of disconnected alerts and tools.
