What we work
to protect you from.

Smaller organizations get targeted because they’re easier to get into, not because they’re worth less. These are the latest figures from the organizations that track it.

What this means for you

We work to catch it first,
so you pay less.

Breaches cost more in the U.S. than anywhere else, and they sit undiscovered for months. When your own team finds a breach, instead of hearing about it from the attacker, it costs $900K less on average. That’s what around-the-clock monitoring is for.

Protection

Where attacks start,
and how we stop them.

The four ways breaches most often begin, from Verizon’s analysis of 12,195 confirmed breaches, and what we put in place against each one.

44%of breaches involved ransomware
What we do

Backups kept separate from your network and restore-tested, plus 24/7 monitoring that catches the early signs.

30%involved a third party, double the year before
What we do

Vendor and remote access reviewed and limited to what each one actually needs.

22%started with stolen or abused credentials
What we do

Multi-factor sign-in on every account that supports it, and admin rights kept to the people who need them.

20%started with an unpatched vulnerability
What we do

Updates and security patches managed and tracked, so known holes get closed.

For your next IT review

Six questions every
leader should ask.

Whoever runs your IT today, these six questions tell you quickly whether your business is protected. We’ll answer every one for your business in a free consultation.

  1. Is multi-factor sign-in on every account?Stolen credentials are the most common way in. A password alone isn’t enough anymore.
  2. When did you last restore from a backup?A backup nobody has tested is a guess. Ask for the date of the last test restore.
  3. Who sees an alert at 2 a.m.?Attacks don’t wait for business hours. Someone should be watching, and you should know who.
  4. How fast do security updates go out?One breach in five starts with a known, unpatched hole.
  5. Which vendors can reach our systems?Third parties were involved in 30% of breaches. Every outside connection should be on a list.
  6. What happens in the first hour of an incident?There should be a written plan, and you should know your part in it.
Our stance on AI

AI-forward,
with guardrails.

One in five breached organizations traced a breach to AI tools nobody had approved. We use AI where it helps, and we govern it like any other access to your systems.

A real person, every time

When you call, you talk to someone on our Springfield team who knows your setup. AI doesn’t answer your phone or make decisions about your systems.

AI where it earns its place

We use AI tools to catch problems sooner and to write and test code faster, so more of our time goes to work that needs judgment.

Your data stays yours

Your data doesn’t go into an AI tool without your say-so, and we’ll tell you plainly where AI is involved and where it isn’t.

The risk of ungoverned AIFrom organizations that reported a breach in the past year.
97%of organizations with an AI-related breach lacked proper AI access controls
63%of breached organizations had no AI governance policy, or were still writing one
1 in 5reported a breach caused by shadow AI
Track record

Real proof,
not just promises.

Public agencies, a national training program, research universities and local businesses trust us with systems they can’t afford to lose.

Managed IT

Willamalane has been utilizing the Managed IT Services of IEQ for over a year and we have been very pleased with the results. The district's IT infrastructure, connectivity, and overall efficiency have all improved. The level of service is outstanding, with exceptional responsiveness and communication.

Research

We have used IEQ Technology for over 15 years on multiple foundation, industry and NIH-funded projects. And we have done so in collaboration with faculty from other major Universities. IEQ is an excellent source for project development, advice, reliability of product and careful ongoing site management. Their costs are reasonable and we have always dealt with them as active collaborators in our research and clinical care projects. I strongly recommend them as a trustworthy, reliable and active partner.

I’ve worked with Tim and his team on a variety of projects over the last 20 years. This has always been a professional experience with a quality outcome that was usually above and beyond what myself and others expected. There was always a strong level of leadership and organization as they kept the project on task and on time. Many times a project will have changes throughout the development process and they always found creative ways to make that work for all parties.

The whole team at IEQ has always been ready to present ideas to enhance our projects, not just settle on the basics of a project outline. They really have a great variety of in-house talent from programming to design to management. All aspects of the service they provide is right there without having to be transferred to one place or another. Besides their timely focus, the level of programming knowledge and attention to detail was always in the forefront. Highly recommended, and simply a smart, quality, local organization to collaborate with on any tech based project.

Web

Working with IEQ has been nothing short of outstanding! They built two websites for me—one for my roofing company and another for my trailer rental business—and the entire experience exceeded every expectation.

From start to finish, their professionalism stood out. Nick, the lead designer, was incredibly creative and detail-oriented, while Tim and Jenny made the whole process seamless and stress-free. Their communication was excellent, their prices were unbeatable, and the quality of their work speaks for itself.

They didn’t just “build” websites—they created powerful tools that truly showcase my businesses and set me apart from the competition. The designs are clean, modern, and user-friendly, and they delivered everything on time without cutting corners.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this team. If you’re looking for a company that combines top-tier design, outstanding customer service, and exceptional value, IEQ is the one. I highly recommend them for any web project, big or small!

Education

I have worked with IEQ technology for several years now and have found Tim and the staff to be super responsive and communicative. Our project has a lot of moving parts per page to share information with families to support their young children's development. I'm grateful to Tim and his team for all their great work and our continued collaboration!
