Case Study: First Column IT achieves CMMC Level 2 compliance and faster threat response with Huntress

First Column IT achieves CMMC Level 2 in 6 months with Huntress

First Column IT, a managed service provider, faced challenges with their previous endpoint detection and response (EDR) tool, which was slowing down systems and complicating their pursuit of CMMC Level 2 compliance for themselves and their clients. They needed a security solution from a vendor that could excel in both cybersecurity and compliance without increasing costs or operational friction.

Huntress provided its Managed Security Platform, including EDR, ITDR, and SIEM. The solution immediately resolved performance issues and delivered clear compliance benefits through tools like a shared responsibility matrix. Results included achieving their own CMMC Level 2 certification, helping a client do the same, and successfully thwarting a live threat with swift detection and isolation by the Huntress SOC, all without increasing costs for their clients.
