Case Study: MHCS strengthens cybersecurity and incident response with Heartland Business Systems

MHCS strengthens security with Heartland Business Systems after a 2017 penetration test

MHCS, a major accounting firm, was concerned about protecting the highly sensitive client data it manages and sought to identify vulnerabilities in its network. The firm engaged vendor Heartland Business Systems (HBS) for a comprehensive risk assessment, which included penetration testing.

Heartland Business Systems implemented a multi-layered security solution for MHCS, starting with penetration testing to identify weaknesses. HBS then helped fortify the network with multi-factor authentication and provided employee security training, including phishing simulations. Furthermore, HBS developed an incident response plan to prepare the firm for potential security events. As a result, MHCS saw a marked improvement in its internal security posture and established a methodical, ongoing process to mature its security program, ensuring better protection for its business and clients.
