How Northwind approaches cybersecurity

Stolen passwords are the most common way in. Northwind starts with sign-ins, using multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on.

Email, devices and backups come next, and we train your staff to recognize phishing.

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) on every account
  • Single sign-on for business applications

Stop stolen passwords and prove your controls

We document each control as we put it in place and keep that record current.

For your team

If a password leaks, MFA blocks the sign-in and we flag the unusual activity.

For leadership

When insurers or auditors ask about your controls, leadership has the answers ready.

Questions about cybersecurity services

Can you help with our cyber insurance questionnaire?

Yes. We put the controls insurers ask about in place, document them and help you answer the questionnaire accurately.

Why does your cybersecurity start with identity?

Stolen passwords are the most common way attackers get in. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on close that path first, and email, devices and backups follow.

Does Northwind respond to cybersecurity incidents?

We do. Northwind contains the affected account or device and restores from backup when needed. You get a written record of the incident for your insurer and legal counsel.

Do we have to report a breach?

Often, yes. Idaho Code §28-51-105 requires notice to affected Idahoans without unreasonable delay, and other states set their own deadlines. Your legal counsel makes the final decision.

Do you manage firewalls?

Yes. Northwind installs and manages firewalls, including SonicWall, and keeps them up to date.

What are cybersecurity services?

Cybersecurity services are the ongoing controls and monitoring that protect an organization’s accounts, email, devices and data. Northwind puts those controls in place, monitors them and responds to incidents.
