Northern Hills Technology works with frameworks and standards such as NIST, FTC Safeguards, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CIS where relevant to the client’s situation. We do not promise compliance outcomes, but we help firms understand gaps, prioritize improvements, and maintain better security practices over time.
Northern Hills Technology uses severity-based Service Level Objectives to set clear expectations for how quickly support begins after an issue is reported. During normal Help Desk hours, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM MT Monday through Friday excluding U.S. public holidays, targeted response times range from within 4 business hours for critical issues to within 48 business hours for low-severity issues. Status or resolution updates are documented to the primary contact by email or in the ticketing system.
The process typically begins with a discovery call and a complimentary site assessment focused on infrastructure, cybersecurity posture, data protection, and compliance alignment. Findings are reviewed with business leaders so priorities such as operational risk, security vulnerabilities, budget, and technology planning can be discussed clearly. After agreement, onboarding follows a structured 30/60/90-day process that addresses monitoring, security tools, priority remediation, staff training, and ongoing reporting.
Keep your business running smoothly with proactive monitoring, responsive IT support, and ongoing system maintenance. From Spearfish, we help Black Hills organizations reduce downtime, manage technology upgrades, and plan ahead—all through one accountable IT partner.
