This includes encrypted communications, access-controlled EHR environments, audit logging, security awareness training, BAA documentation, and breach response planning. Our team understands the unique uptime and privacy requirements of Burgaw medical providers.
How does Preferred Data protect Pender County business data?
We implement a 3-2-1 backup strategy: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one stored offsite. Pender County clients use cloud-first backup with geographic redundancy across multiple data centers. We test restores quarterly, document recovery procedures, and guarantee recovery time objectives. Your agriculture data is protected against ransomware, hardware failure, and natural disasters.
Who answers the phone when a Pender County business calls for IT help?
A real technician in North Carolina. Our help desk is not outsourced or automated with chatbots. When your Burgaw team calls (336) 886-3282, they reach experienced engineers who already have context on your environment. For after-hours emergencies, our on-call rotation ensures live response within 30 minutes. Every interaction is logged and tracked through resolution.
Should my Burgaw business move to the cloud?
It depends on your operations. Most Burgaw businesses save 20-40% on infrastructure costs with proper cloud migration. Preferred Data evaluates your current setup, bandwidth, compliance needs, and growth plans before recommending a strategy. We handle Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments, and we never push a migration that does not make business sense for your situation.
