Bi-Coastal PE Firm Streamlines Operations with Unified IT & Cybersecurity
A private equity firm was struggling with an underperforming cybersecurity vendor. After consolidating technology and cybersecurity with Agio, threat detection became more proactive, response times improved dramatically, and they gained strategic hands-on guidance.
The Challenge
While partnering successfully with Agio for managed IT, a private equity firm struggled with an underperforming cybersecurity vendor. They found themselves trying to sift through vulnerability reports and security data with no real insight, context, or strategic guidance, with check-ins regularly cancelled at the last minute. They turned to Agio for protection and perspective.
The Solution
The firm and Agio discussed a more comprehensive approach to operations—one that would combine our existing managed IT expertise with our SEC governance and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities. The solution centered on a dedicated program manager overseeing SEC compliance, regular team meetings, and clear reporting through AgioNow.
The Outcome
The impact of the partnership was immediate and substantial. Agio identified and swiftly remediated a security breach the existing provider had missed: unauthorized access to a Senior Advisory Partner’s email account from an overseas location.
With IT and cybersecurity under one roof, threat detection became more proactive, response times improved dramatically, and the firm gained strategic hands-on guidance pertaining to the health and wellness of their infrastructure.
The Agio Difference
Agio’s comprehensive, integrated services—delivering both tactical execution and strategic insights—strengthened the private equity firm’s security posture and streamlined their technical operations. It became the difference between having a vendor who delivers data and reports and a partner who offers context, insight, and roadmaps for a more successful future.
