Right Hand Technology Group Named to ChannelE2E Top 100 Vertical Market MSPs: 2021 Edition

PITTSBURGH, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Right Hand Technology Group has been named to After Nines Inc.'s ChannelE2E Top 100 Vertical Market MSPs list and research (http://www.channelE2E.com/top100) for 2021. The annual list and the research (hashtag: #MSP100) identify and honor the top 100 managed services providers (MSPs) in healthcare, legal, government, financial services, manufacturing and additional vertical markets.

This year's Top 100 Vertical Market MSP research results are particularly impressive. MSP honorees successfully navigated the coronavirus pandemic and grew their managed annual vertical market revenue 25 percent on average. In stark contrast, total small business revenue in the United States fell 27.5 percent from January 2020 through March 2021, according to TrackTheRecovery.org.

The Top 100 Vertical Market MSPs rankings are based on ChannelE2E's Q4 2020 and January 2021 readership survey, and ChannelE2E's vertical market industry coverage. MSPs featured throughout the list and research leverage deep vertical market expertise to drive annual recurring revenues (ARR) in specific market segments.

This year's research revealed several key MSP market trends, including:

* Honorees generated a combined $1.40 billion in vertical market annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2020, up from $1.12 billion million in 2019. The surge involved organic growth combined with continued merger and acquisition (M&A) activity.

* The most successful vertical market MSPs are zeroing in on healthcare and financial services, while MSPs in the legal and not-for-profit sectors also showed particularly strong growth.

* The Top 100 Vertical Market MSPs now manage more than 3.1 million users across their customer sites as of 2020, up from 2.8 million in 2019.

* MSPs consider their top vertical market technology partners to be Microsoft (58%), Dell Technologies (19%), Cisco Systems (17%), ConnectWise (16%) and Amazon Web Services (14%). Datto, Fortinet, Ingram Micro and Pax8 also earned strong MSP response.

Right Hand Technology Group was ranked among the top vertical market MSPs in Manufacturing.

We are honored to be recognized for our work and commitment to satisfaction in the manufacturing industry said Josh Wilhelm, President of Right Hand Technology Group. With manufacturing being one of the top targets for cyber criminals, our team works hard to provide comprehensive Cybersecurity Programs for our clients. Also, with the new compliance requirements like Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), our clients rely on the Right Hand Technology Team's deep knowledge to prepare for certification and secure their environments. Our team's dedication to being proactive and mature processes is the reason we become the trusted "Right Hand Man" to our clients.

"After Nines Inc. congratulates Right Hand Technology Group on this honor," said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. "Businesses worldwide depend on the Top 100 Vertical Market MSPs for cybersecurity, automation and revenue-generating technology services - especially amid the coronavirus pandemic."

Right Hand Technology Group Becomes First Pittsburgh-based Managed IT and Cybersecurity Service Provider to Earn CompTIA Security Trustmark+

PITTSBURGH, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Right Hand Technology Group Inc, a Managed IT and Cyber Security Service Provider, announced today it has received the CompTIA Security Trustmark+™ from CompTIA, the non-profit association for the world's information technology (IT) industry.

The CompTIA Security Trustmark+ validated that Right Hand Technology Group uses the security processes identified by the IT industry as generally accepted best practices. In addition, Right Hand Technology Group has been evaluated by an independent third-party assessor which assessed it as meeting the criteria established by the CompTIA Security Trustmark+.

Based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ is a comprehensive review of the security posture of any IT business, applicable across multiple industries and compliance regulations.

"The CompTIA Security Trustmark+ signifies that Right Hand Technology Group adheres to our industry's highest standards for security practices and business processes in critical components of identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery as related to data security," said Nancy Hammervik, senior vice president, industry relations, CompTIA. "Earning the Security Trustmark+ demonstrates a true commitment to address the challenges of security compliance facing our industry today."

"In a world of increasing threats, organizations are looking to managed service providers (MSPs) to help keep their organizations secure - making the MSP industry a target for hackers," said Josh Wilhelm, President of Right Hand Technology Group.

Wilhelm adds, "With the number of MSPs that have been breached over the past year, we wanted to assure our clients that we take security very seriously and follow best practices put out by NIST. While we have been actively following best practices since our inception, the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ gives the third-party validation that companies can count on when deciding to work with us or any other managed service provider,"

To earn the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ Right Hand Technology Group Inc successfully passed an independent assessment of their security policies, capabilities, practices, and processes against industry best practices in areas such as:
* Security technologies, including firewalls, anti-Virus/ malware/ spyware and intrusion detection
* Vulnerability assessment detection
* Data encryption
* Technical employee knowledge/expertise
* Security clearances and background checks
* Physical and hardware security
* Permissions, passwords and other security requirements.
