Companies do not simply need an IT partner in the current age of growing cybersecurity risk and increasing standards of compliance in all sectors; they need a strategic partner, one with the depth of capabilities to grasp sophisticated systems and the dexterity to stay in step with the quickly escalating changes in technology. The value of the experienced and proactive technology partners becomes critical to the businesses as more pressure continues to fall on them to modernize operations, secure sensitive data, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Enter LaScala, Inc., which is a certified veteran-owned small business based in Temperance, Michigan. LaScala has been focusing on delivering managed IT services, co-managed security, and managed compliance since 2010, and it all fits nicely with operational objectives. Based out of a repurposed 50,000-square-foot facility, LaScala has garnered success by becoming one of the Best Companies to Watch in the managed services and cybersecurity industry.

Empowering Business through Purpose-Built Programs

LaScala has themed its customized service offerings as three fundamental programs; they include co-managed IT, co-managed security, and managed compliance. Although they have different purposes, they are all interrelated to create a holistic package that can only deliver positive results: increasing performance, providing security, and passing various industry tests.

Co-managed IT services are third-party technical support services providing provincial, territorial, and federal government organizations 24/7/365 service around the clock. LaScala is staffed with more than 400 years of experience working in IT, and the company commonly serves as an overflow for internal IT departments, particularly when internal resources are at max.

The increased risk of cyberattack is also solved by co-managed security services in such a way by providing managed detection & response (MDR), endpoint protection, incident remediation, and security awareness training. Offerings available at LaScala are designed to address the security concerns of businesses that operate in the high-risk business sector by actively identifying vulnerabilities and eliminating threats before they lead to a net disruption.

Made available to the public is the flagship service of the company, Managed Compliance, which combines IT and security requirements with compliance regulations, including HIPAA, PCI, and FINRA regulations, to mention but a few compliance regulations, and in particular CMMC 2.0 to suppliers of the Department of Defense. LaScala is a CMMC Registered Practitioner Organization that provides strategic support, beginning at the evaluation stage all the way up to the readiness to audit, to help its clients meet their goal of compliance every step of the way.

Bridging Compliance Gaps with Confidence

Compliance has evolved beyond a mere compliance checklist, particularly in light of the projected global cybercrime threat of over $10 trillion by 2025. The Managed Compliance program developed by LaScala not only deploys the technical controls of the frameworks such as NIST-800-171 but also gives recommendations about documentation, audit trails, and the formula of the SPRS score.

There are grant programs, such as the Michigan Defense Defense CyberSmart, to apply to and receive up to $36,000 of financial assistance, as well as the CMMC Compliance Acceleration Grant Program, under which the same is available, with a corresponding number of small to medium businesses being qualified to receive support. LaScala is instrumental to such grant programs, as it provides assessment, roadmap, and implementation services to companies so they can lock down both their systems and their federal contracts.

A Security-First Culture That Delivers Results

LaScala is different because it is proactive and strategic in the management of threats. Its co-managed security services are more than a typical offer, as they include such features as real-time incident response, threat hunting, penetration testing, and vulnerability management. Organizations are assured of a clear conscience, quick action, and intuitive information due to a resident security advisor, quick response, behavioral analytics, and network traffic analysis.

In addition, LaScala is able to merge with client teams and have straightforward discussions and provide recommendations that are practical and based on profound technical experience. This method removes uncertainties in cybersecurity, allowing decision-makers to trust their digital framework.

Partnering for Performance, Not Just Protection

In addition to providing protection, LaScala designs its services to foster business growth and sustainability. By using its co-managed IT product, companies can also devote their in-house departments back to the premium projects without diminishing service quality or security. LaScala maintains its clients' online presence, security, and competitive edge through its predictable service, committed support, and enterprise-level infrastructure management.

Its technology makes sure there is less downtime, blocks data loss, and provides software compliance, which is essential in industries that experience devastating consequences when the time span takes even a few seconds.

Building a Legacy beyond Technology

However, LaScala also has a positive impact beyond the server room. The firm comports extensively in its local Michigan community by providing scholarships, pipelines to internships, and recruitment programs in cybersecurity and IT support administration areas. By investing in the local talent pool and creating a pipeline of knowledgeable workers, LaScala is actively contributing to the future growth of cybersecurity.

The veteran-owned status of the company also enforces a service ideal, discipline, and authenticity of purpose, which infiltrate all relations with the clients.

For Resilience, Readiness, and Results, Businesses Choose LaScala

LaScala, Inc. has not only branded itself as a service provider; it has formed itself as a strategic partner of businesses that are experiencing the quagmire of IT, security, and compliance. Either as co-managed IT and security or as full CMMC audit readiness services, LaScala makes simple what others make complex and secures what others ignore.

A company whose primary mission is to continuously interact with change, LaScala is a digital transformational company that does not react to change; it initiates it.
