TECH LOCK Fulfills Growing Demand for Comprehensive Managed Cybersecurity with Integrated Compliance
TECH LOCK Secure™ delivers enterprise-grade threat detection and response with a service that enables security event orchestration, detection, and US based Security Operations Center (SOC) making it accessible to businesses of all sizes
TROY, MICH. (PRWEB) JULY 22, 2020
TECH LOCK Inc., a RevSpring Company, today announced its TECH LOCK Secure™ Managed Cybersecurity and Integrated Compliance Services, fulfilling a growing demand for customers struggling with the challenges of keeping pace with modern security threats. TECH LOCK Secure™ is comprised of a comprehensive suite of Managed Security and Compliance Services, including Endpoint Detection and Response, Network/Firewall, Log/SIEM and Vulnerability Management. The service is supported by a U.S. based 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC) providing quick response to security events through the TECH LOCK Secure™ service portal, powered by a cloud-based machine learning engine enabling security event orchestration, detection and response.
TECH LOCK recognized that businesses were spending on compliance basics but were falling behind in what was needed to keep their business and customer data safe against hackers. TECH LOCK Secure™ is designed to address this concern and meet the demands of businesses that have limited budgets, so they do not have to focus on security or compliance, but now have a service that addresses both. “We wanted to make it easy and accessible for any company to obtain best-in-breed security technology, operations and orchestrated incident response,” said Brian McManamon, president of TECH LOCK Inc. “Our in-depth knowledge and experience with data compliance standards ensures that our solution provides immediate value to businesses by delivering comprehensive data protection while maintaining continuous compliance.”
TECH LOCK Secure™ is a turn-key solution based on modern, adaptive cybersecurity technologies. Customers have complete transparency to all security and compliance operations. The TECH LOCK Secure™ portal provides real-time dashboards and reports with the ability to drill down into specific data. Through the information provided in the portal, the customer can quickly validate that their organization is secure and up to date with their compliance requirements.
“As a leader in outsourced patient financial services, ensuring patient privacy and protecting the data entrusted to us is critical,” said Jim Warner, chief technology officer, State Collection Service, Inc. As a result, working with TECH LOCK Inc. is not just about checking the box for compliance.” “Security and compliance are so interwoven that subscribing to TECH LOCK Secure™ was an easy choice to make to ensure data security,” said Tim Haag, president, State Collection Service, Inc.
“Our long-term partnership with TECH LOCK provides us with tremendous peace of mind knowing that we are using market-leading technology and processes to ensure data security and patient privacy.”

Customer reviews
“I am writing to recommend the Security & Compliance services of TECH LOCK. We have been a customer of TECH LOCK for the past 8 years, and have always been completely satisfied with the work they provide for Compliance services. In the beginning, their professional services had a big hand in helping us shape up our Security Infrastructure, as well as working with us on developing the necessary Compliance controls.”
“TECH LOCK has been an outstanding partner and service provider for our Information Security and Compliance needs. TECH LOCK is extremely thorough in their assessment and they have assisted our companies in strengthening our IT environment through rigid audits and proper remediation of susceptibilities. The value TECH LOCK has added has been evident not only to internal stakeholders but has also been critical to assuring our clients that the information they value so much is safe with us.”
“After our company fully transitioned to the AWS Platform, we quickly realized that was not the only move we should make. We needed to engage a PCI Qualified Security Assessor Company that had extensive experience with AWS’s platform and services, and understood the intricacies of the AWS shared responsibility model as it relates to PCI DSS. After vetting several companies, it was evident that TECH LOCK was the best fit for our business. For us, having built a partnership with TECH LOCK has made the daily responsibility of maintaining our PCI DSS AOC compliance responsibilities much easier, which makes all the difference. Much of this is due to the solid roadmap and best practices they helped us build to maintain our security posture and prepare for the evolving requirements on the horizon.”
