Not only can NMP Consulting help protect you from everyday viruses and other threats to your environment, but we are experts in assisting you in meeting and exceeding security compliance regulations for programs such as HIPAA and the Patriot Act.

Antivirus and other Malware Protection

Purchasing one of the top selling antivirus products does not mean you have top-quality virus protection. When a business calls us to repair their slow-running computers, the first question we often ask is, “What antivirus software do you have installed?” Once we change their antivirus, not only does the computer run faster, but fewer viruses get through. You need basic protections against the viruses, Trojan horse programs, spyware, malware, and the torrent of spam that hits your e-mail server. But you also need products that will not make the rest of your system bog down so much that it costs you time and money to operate. We keep apprised of these programs for you, and provide you with the most up-to-date, smooth-functioning, best protection possible.

Firewall Installation, Maintenance, and Administration

Is your system really secure from outside attacks on your network? Our Systems Engineers at NMP Consulting will test your network to find holes or weaknesses. Firewall systems are necessary for all businesses with links to outside systems through e-mail, the internet, or network connections. NMP Consulting will assist you in selecting and procuring a firewall system, but will also install, configure, support, and administrate all types of firewall systems including Cisco PIX, and SOHO-type firewalls by Sonicwall, Linksys, and many other vendors. Don’t find out too late that data that is sensitive to you or your clients is not secure from the outside world.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems

The next step in your network/PC security plan may include Intrusion Detection (IDS) and/or Prevention (IPS) systems that will help alert you to outside attacks on your network. These systems will help alert you to attacks while they are happening, as well as detect their source and possibly prevent any further attacks from that source. IDS and IPS add a vital second level of defense to your business. NMP Consulting will install and configure IDS and IPS systems for businesses of any size.

Penetration Testing & Audits

Regulatory compliance and security of customer or company confidential information is not optional - it is a legal requirement to make sure you have done everything to the best of your ability to protect this information. Once you have installed firewalls, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems, antivirus software, e-mail scanners and other protection methods, you need to verify that they are configured properly and working correctly. NMP Consulting will test your systems to insure that any relevant patches are applied, devices are configured correctly, and that they meet their stated protection levels. Audit and penetration tests can help you conform to HIPAA, Patriot Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act regulations.

Security Policies

Having a compliance policy for all of your employees will also insure that the systems you have in place are fully effective. These systems are only as strong as the weakest link, and if one person fails to follow procedure, it can affect the security of your whole system. NMP Consulting will assist you in writing security policies to meet company and regulatory requirements, as well as train your personnel on the proper procedures. We will also train you to recognize intrusion attempts, whether they are through technology channels, simple telephone fraud, and other deceptive techniques.
