Our Approach
At Vertical Data Engineering Systems-VDES, we have built an IT Management and Security Services stack that combines the role of a Managed Services Provider (MSP) and a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) to offer organizations cost-effective, comprehensive IT management and robust security services under a single umbrella. By leveraging the combined expertise of an MSP and MSSP, VDES enhances your organization's overall IT performance while maintaining robust security measures to protect against evolving threats.
Here are some benefits of our combined MSP/MSSP approach:
-
Fractional CIO, Fractional CTO, Fractional CISO
-
Integrated Solutions: Combining IT management and security services ensures a more cohesive approach to technology and security.
-
Cost Efficiency: Streamlining services with a single provider can reduce costs and simplify vendor management.
-
Enhanced Security: We offer a unified approach to ensure that security is an integral part of all IT operations and is not treated as a separate entity.
-
Improved Collaboration: Seamless collaboration between IT management and security teams leads to more effective and efficient operations.
-
Comprehensive Support: You receive end-to-end support for all IT and security needs, ensuring that both infrastructure and data are well-protected.

Do you have Cyber Insurance?
Many small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), if they have yet to experience the changes in cyber insurance, are in for a surprise. Whether you seek insurance for the first time or renew an existing policy, there will be changes. Cyber insurance concerns are growing. It’s a maturing of the new cyber insurance market and course correction to curb significant direct loss rates. “The price bumps helped the U.S. cyber insurance industry pare back its direct loss ratio, or the percentage of its income that it pays out to claimants, to 65.4% in 2021 from a record of 72.5% in 2020”, as reported in the Wall Street Journal. The reason behind these increases is the rise in cyberattacks, specifically ransomware, phishing, and social engineering attacks. In addition, pandemic and hybrid work arrangements brought swift changes and challenges to business and data security.
Cloud Security Assessment and Implementation (CSAI)
We work with the world’s leading Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) companies – as well as the leading Cloud computing platform providers. Cloud Security Assessment and Implementation (CSAI)Cloud computing has become an initial part of many small and medium-sized businesses. They are cost-efficient, increase agility and streamline all critical data. Unfortunately, the cloud also creates a wide range of new security risks that expose your essential data to threats. An intelligent and risk-free measure is necessary to propel a secure digital transformation. Our CSA services protect your data and workloads in the cloud, ensure reliable access to your cloud assets, and help you dive into a secure, confident digital migration. We perform a Cloud Security Posture Assessment to uncover and analyze your cyber risks, cloud service configurations, and current IT and cloud infrastructure alignment. In addition, we have implemented cloud security solutions for our customers as Cloud service providers (CSP), including Azure, AWS, and Office 365 environments.
Our approach is customer-centric. We value due diligence and will work with you to achieve the desired results. Simply, we put ourselves in our customers' shoes. Our customers appreciate our due diligence; we do not take shortcuts and will work with you to achieve the desired results.
