Kevin Sellheim

CEO and Administrator, Sleepy Eye Medical Center

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.

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.

I have to say that in the course of our relationship, I have always felt that we were in good hands. I sensed a competency and a capacity we hadn’t had before from the get-go.

Director of Resources, Special Operations Warrior Foundation

With the change to the modern workplace, we can now access our files from any location at any time with just an internet connection. Our documents are at our fingertips whether working from home, at a client site or sitting in an airport.

Ann Bolin

Director of Accounting and Administration, Blue Rose Capital Advisors

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 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.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework Services Built for Execution

Practical controls, documentation, and roadmap guidance

Risk Assessment

Quantify Cybersecurity Risk

A NIST cybersecurity risk assessment gives leadership a clear view of current exposure, not just a technical checklist. Thriveon evaluates your environment, users, policies, systems, and security controls to produce a quantifiable risk score and practical findings.

The outcome is a prioritized roadmap that connects risk to business impact, compliance readiness, and technology investment. This helps you make decisions based on evidence, budget reality, and operational importance.

Gap Analysis

Find Framework Gaps Faster

NIST gap analysis identifies where current cybersecurity practices fall short of framework expectations. Thriveon reviews controls across identity, endpoints, network, cloud services, data protection, backup, monitoring, and response processes to uncover practical improvement areas.

Findings are translated into clear priorities, so your team understands what to fix first, what can be planned over time, and how each improvement supports risk reduction and audit readiness.

Control Roadmap

Prioritize Practical Fixes

A control roadmap turns assessment findings into a realistic execution plan. Thriveon helps define the security controls, timelines, owners, dependencies, and budget considerations needed to improve NIST alignment without overwhelming your operations.

This roadmap can include layered cybersecurity measures such as MFA, vulnerability management, endpoint detection and response, SIEM monitoring, encryption, disaster recovery planning, and security awareness training.

Policy Documentation

Document Controls Clearly

Clear cybersecurity policies help employees, leaders, and auditors understand how security is managed. Thriveon develops and documents policies and procedures that align with NIST expectations, business operations, and applicable compliance needs.

Documentation may include access control, acceptable use, incident response, data protection, backup, vendor management, and security awareness procedures. This creates consistency, strengthens accountability, and supports faster audit response.

Evidence Management

Keep Audit Proof Organized

Evidence management helps prove that cybersecurity controls are not only planned, but active and maintained. Thriveon organizes documentation, screenshots, reports, policies, procedures, and control records so leadership can respond to audits or compliance requests with greater confidence.

This structured approach reduces last-minute scrambling, improves visibility into control status, and gives your team a repeatable process for maintaining compliance readiness over time.

Continuous Improvement

Improve Security Over Time

NIST alignment is not a one-time project. Technology changes, employees change, threats evolve, and compliance expectations continue to move. Thriveon supports continuous improvement through proactive audits, standards-based IT management, and executive-level security planning.

With over 500 self-developed best practices guiding technology environments, cybersecurity improvements become part of ongoing operations, helping prevent recurring issues before they disrupt productivity.

Turn NIST Requirements Into a Practical Security Roadmap

NIST Cybersecurity Framework Services help you understand where cybersecurity stands today, what needs to improve, and how to prioritize investments without turning security into a collection of disconnected tools.

Thriveon applies a standards-based methodology that connects NIST controls to business risk, compliance expectations, operational continuity, and technology planning. You receive executive-level guidance from a Fractional CIO, cybersecurity leadership, and proactive IT management working together toward measurable outcomes.

The result is a practical roadmap that identifies gaps, clarifies ownership, supports budgeting, and helps your organization reduce risk while keeping cybersecurity aligned with growth, productivity, and compliance readiness.

Move From Compliance Uncertainty to Clear Priorities

NIST alignment works best when it becomes part of day-to-day operations, not a one-time assessment. Thriveon helps translate the framework into clear controls, documented processes, and ongoing management that supports leadership decisions.

Align Cybersecurity Decisions With Business Performance

Mid-sized organizations often know cybersecurity matters, but lack the internal time, structure, or executive guidance to manage it well. NIST Cybersecurity Framework Services give your leadership team a disciplined way to evaluate risk, make informed decisions, and improve security maturity over time.

Thriveon combines cybersecurity strategy, Fractional CIO leadership, and proactive IT management so recommendations are not isolated from budget, infrastructure, vendors, or employee workflows. This approach helps reduce duplicated effort, improve accountability, and keep security progress visible to decision-makers.

Instead of reacting to the next issue, you gain a repeatable process for managing cybersecurity as a business performance priority.
