What Clients Say About Us

Peace of Mind at an Affordable Flat Monthly Fee

Garam Group is a great company to work with. We wanted to update our phone system so we called them. Michelle was very knowledgeable with their products and explained how everything works flawlessly. She listened to our needs and provided solutions that fit our company. We felt no pressure from them to purchase. Once we decided to hire Garam Group, the install and transfer was seamless. Kevin and Sebastian walked us through everything, answered all of our questions, and made sure we knew how everything worked before they left. A few days later when we wanted to change a few things, Sebastian worked tirelessly to make sure we had what we wanted. Great company!

A Trustworthy, Transparent Partner

I switched my company's phone system to the Garam Group a few months ago. Michelle met with me and my staff a few times before and during the switch. I cannot express how amazing this woman is. They helped ensure the process went smoothly. I have worked with Caleb and Sebastian since, and they both have been incredible. They know their stuff and are always hard at work to help the clients. Highly recommend this company!

One of the Best Companies Around

The Garam Group is a pleasure to have as our phone provider. Michelle S. was professional, pleasant, accommodating and informative when providing all the information prior to our decision making of our new provider. Caleb was also professional, pleasant and informative when installing our new system. Sebastian has been amazing, professional, pleasant, patient, not to mention above and beyond accommodating with some glitches we have had with one of our lines. He made no judgement when I was clearly less than tech savvy. Thank you all at the Garam Group!

Firewalls

A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and decides whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a defined set of security rules. This has long served as the first line of defense in network security. We support, configure, and deploy industry standard firewalls and configure them to allow only the traffic you want or need into and out of your network.

Microsoft 365’s Exchange Online Protection

If you are like most businesses today you have a subscription to Microsoft Office 365, providing you with Outlook and Exchange email in the cloud. Office 365 provides Exchange Online Protection (EOP) a cloud-based email-filtering service from Microsoft. This service aims to protect email users and the entire organization against spam and malware. It does this by filtering inbound and outbound email messages, checking for diverse threats. We can help you fine tune these settings to make sure they keep your email protected. If you don’t already have Office 365 we can help you migrate to this service.

Managed Antivirus and Malware Protection for All Your Servers and Workstations

All Garam Group client servers and workstations have our remote monitoring agent installed so we can support your computers. This includes an installation of Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus making sure all your systems are protected. Webroot provides the world’s most powerful cloud security solution. No matter how or where you connect you’ll be safe and secure, protected from online threats. It scans faster, uses fewer system resources, and protects you in real-time by instantly identifying and blocking new threats as soon as they appear. Our help desk team will get alerted of any issues so we can quickly address them.

Email Encryption

Help reduce the risk of unintended information disclosure by encrypting and rights-protecting email messages sent both inside and outside your organization. This service comes with certain levels of Microsoft Office 365 licenses and can be added and configured as an add-on service for others. We can configure this for you to allow you to easily send encrypted email messages to anyone, regardless of their email address.

Employee Cybersecurity Training and Awareness​

All the hardware and software doesn’t help if your users click on links in phishing emails and enter their network credentials and passwords into web pages setup by cybercriminals to steal their personal identifiable information (PII).

With human error causing over 92% of data breaches, we understand the importance of focusing on the weakest link by empowering employees through self-improvement, personal protection, and engaging video-based training. To that end we provide our Breach Secure Now platform which includes the following:

  • 45-minute online security awareness training course with certificate of completion

  • Dark web monitoring

  • Personal email account dark web scanning

  • Weekly micro-security training videos & quizzes

  • Unlimited phishing simulations

  • Employee Vulnerability Assessment (EVA)

  • Monthly security newsletter

Patch Management and Security Updates

Servers, workstations, software, and other hardware all have security patches and updates released on a regular basis. Hackers often target these vulnerabilities knowing that attacking a vulnerability is one of the best ways to get into your system. These patches and updates address vulnerabilities discovered that can lead to security holes or breaches. We use our Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software to make sure your operating systems, software, and hardware are all patched so your systems are not left open to attacks and data theft.

Zero Trust Powered by ThreatLocker

Our Zero Trust approach, powered by ThreatLocker, enforces strict security controls to prevent unauthorized access and cyber threats. By allowing only approved applications and activities, we strengthen your business’s cybersecurity and reduce attack risks.

  • Application Whitelisting Security

ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust model blocks all unauthorized applications by default, allowing only explicitly approved programs to run. This eliminates the risk of malware, ransomware, and unauthorized software, ensuring a locked-down, secure IT environment without disrupting business operations.

  • Ringfencing & Least Privilege

ThreatLocker limits application permissions, preventing software from accessing sensitive files or making unauthorized system changes. By enforcing least privilege access and restricting inter-application communication, this feature stops lateral movement and protects against insider threats, malware exploitation, and unauthorized data access.

DNSFilter

Our DNSFilter solution provides proactive protection against malicious websites, phishing attempts, and unwanted content. By filtering DNS requests in real-time, we ensure safer, more secure browsing for your business while enhancing productivity and compliance.

  • Real-Time Threat Protection

DNSFilter continuously analyzes domain requests, blocking access to malicious websites before they can cause harm. This proactive approach prevents phishing attacks, malware infections, and ransomware threats before they reach your network. By stopping threats at the DNS level, we provide an essential layer of security that strengthens your overall cybersecurity posture.

  • Content Filtering & Compliance

Easily enforce browsing policies by restricting access to inappropriate or non-business-related websites. DNSFilter helps organizations comply with industry regulations, prevent data leaks, and reduce security risks. By filtering harmful or distracting content, businesses can maintain a productive work environment while ensuring employees access only safe and approved online resources.

Network Security Audits

Network security audits can help you take an in-depth look at your network to help you identify your biggest security risks so you can make changes that will protect your company and its network. We can provide these security audits for you including internal and external vulnerability scans.

Are you complying with the NY State Shield Act?

On July 26, 2019, New York’s governor signed the “Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security” (SHIELD) Act which went into effect March 21, 2020. It amends the general business law and the state technology law in relation to notification of a security breach. The law covers all employers, individuals or organizations, regardless of size or location, which collect private information on New York State residents. It requires businesses to implement safeguards for the “private information” of New York residents and broadens New York’s security breach notification requirements.

Failure to implement a compliant information security program is enforced by the New York State Attorney General and may result in injunctive relief and civil penalties of up to $5,000 imposed against an organization and individual employees for “each violation.”

Let us help make sure your business is complying with the Shield Act and your data is protected.
