How does NRVPC protect what your business is building?
NRVPC, a managed service provider (MSP), provides network security management for organizations with 20 to 500 employees across Northern Virginia. Based in Fairfax, VA, we manage your firewall, endpoint security, MFA, encryption, and quarterly security audits as part of a single monthly fee. The CIS Controls are the framework behind the security standard we hold every client to.
Your business has momentum. Clients trust you. Your reputation is strong. Your team is growing. You're building something valuable, and that value deserves protection that runs quietly in the background while you focus on the work. That's what NRVPC's network security management gives you: multiple layers of defense, continuous monitoring, regular audits, employee training, and compliance documentation, built for mid-sized organizations.
Is NRVPC the right IT partner for your business?
You are a strong fit if you:
- Have 20 to 500 employees on company-owned computers
- Have at least one office near the Virginia I-495 corridor
What you get from NRVPC:
- Unlimited help desk for every employee
- Managed security on every device, with MFA on all email and VPN
- One-hour on-site response across the Washington, D.C. area
If NRVPC is not the right fit, we will say so.
What does NRVPC's network security management include?
Here's the managed security we put in place for every client, on every company-owned computer:
- Managed firewalls matched to your needs: Sophos for the highest security, SonicWall on a subscription that keeps features like secure VPN current, or UniFi when a one-time purchase suits the budget
- Documented firewall rules
- Managed endpoint security on every computer: Bitdefender
- Managed Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace email with MFA on every account
- Multi-factor authentication on all email and VPN access
- Encryption on every device that holds sensitive data
- Least-privilege access, so each person has the permissions their role needs
- Security patches and updates on every company-owned computer
- Quarterly security audits with documented findings
- Employee security awareness training for every user
- No end-of-life equipment or operating systems on your network
- All servers under warranty, with a 3-year minimum on new devices
For healthcare practices, we maintain HIPAA security controls: encrypted patient data, least-privilege access, MFA, and quarterly audit documentation. You operate with confidence that you're meeting your regulatory requirements. For legal practices, the same controls support attorney-client confidentiality. For nonprofits, the same controls support grant and donor compliance.
How does NRVPC manage your network security?
IT assessment
It starts with an IT assessment. We inventory every company-owned computer, review your current firewall rules, check your email platform (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or a local domain), and document where sensitive data lives. From that inventory we build a plan that brings every device and every account up to the NRVPC security standard.
Day-to-day management
Then we run it. When a threat is blocked, the event is logged. When a patch is released, it's tested and applied. When a new employee joins, we set up their accounts, MFA, and device encryption; when someone leaves, we close their access.
Quarterly audit
Every quarter, we audit the whole environment, document what we found, and review it with your leadership as part of your quarterly business review.
Security becomes a line item you can see, not a question you have to wonder about.
What will your team experience day to day?
The best security is the kind your team barely notices.
Sign-ins stay simple
Every login asks for a second factor and then gets out of the way.
Encrypted laptops
A laptop left in a cab does not give up its data.
A local engineer answers
Questions from your team go to a person, not a queue.
Audit findings every quarter
Your leadership sees them alongside the roadmap, with hardware refresh budgeting built in.
What results should you expect from a managed security service provider (MSSP)?
These are the numbers NRVPC's client base runs on:
- 8-minute average issue detection
- 12-minute average response time when your team needs a person
- 98% of calls answered
- 99.99% uptime
Our engineers hold CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and SecurityX (formerly CASP+) certifications, and NRVPC was founded in 2006.
Frequently asked questions
What does NRVPC's managed security cover?
Managed security at NRVPC is one standard, held for every client and built on the CIS Controls. NRVPC runs the firewall, the endpoint security and the MFA set out in the list above, and audits the whole of it every quarter. Penetration tests and compliance audits are not part of that standard; each is quoted as a separate project.
Is network security management included in NRVPC's monthly fee?
Yes. Network security monitoring and response, firewall management, and managed endpoint security are part of the minimum managed scope for every NRVPC client, covered by one predictable monthly fee under our All-You-Can-Eat model. Larger projects, such as a full firewall replacement that takes 8 or more hours, are scoped and billed separately.
Does NRVPC handle HIPAA security requirements for medical practices?
Yes. We maintain the technical safeguards HIPAA requires: encrypted patient data, least-privilege access, MFA on email and VPN, and documented firewall rules. Quarterly security audits keep that documentation current, so it is ready before anyone asks for it.
What happens when a threat gets past the first layer?
Monitoring runs 24/7 and detects issues in an average of 8 minutes. During business hours, a Northern Virginia engineer responds in an average of 12 minutes and contains the event. After hours, clients have emergency support for anything that cannot wait. Encryption and least-privilege access limit how far any single event can reach. Afterward, we document what happened and adjust the controls, and the event is reviewed at your next quarterly business review.
Where does NRVPC provide network security management?
NRVPC manages network security for organizations with an office near the Virginia I-495 corridor.

Monitoring is remote, and one-hour on-site response across the Washington, D.C. area is available when needed.
What happens in an IT Assessment
In an IT assessment, you and Zach Launey, NRVPC's President, review your current environment, security and compliance. It ends in recommendations and a roadmap.
A 15-minute intro call
You tell Zach your objectives, what you wish were different about your IT, and what you would have technology do if you could wave a magic wand.
A review of your environment
We review your devices, network, platforms, and security posture. If you have an office, that means about an hour there, looking at your network equipment and printers. Fully remote teams meet on a video call.
Recommendations and a roadmap
Then we show you exactly what a managed plan would cover.
