IT support for Columbus offices, built on a recognized framework
Ohio rewards businesses that follow a recognized cybersecurity framework. Computer Plus builds Columbus offices’ IT around one from day one.
The local picture
What matters for offices in Columbus
Columbus has a broad economy of insurance, finance, retail headquarters, healthcare, education and government, with thousands of small firms serving them.
Ohio’s Data Protection Act offers an affirmative defense in certain data breach lawsuits to businesses that maintain a written cybersecurity program that reasonably conforms to a recognized framework, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. For a small office, that turns good security documentation into legal value.
Our focus
What we prioritize for Columbus clients
- A written cybersecurity program mapped to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
- Evidence that the program is actually followed: patching, MFA, backups and reviews.
- Safeguards Rule controls for insurance and financial offices.
- Quarterly reviews to keep the program current.

FAQ
Questions from Columbus offices
What is the Ohio safe harbor?
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1354 provides an affirmative defense to certain tort claims after a breach if the business maintained a qualifying written cybersecurity program. Your attorney should advise on how it applies to you.
Which framework do you use?
We map to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework by default, and to HIPAA or the FTC Safeguards Rule where those apply.
