26 YEARS OF BUSINESS EVOLUTION
Steve Rutkovitz founded Choice Technologies as a VAR in 1995. In 2007 Steve started pivoting the company’s direction into the MSP model, and in 2009 security and compliance services were introduced, propelling the company’s transformation into an MSSP in 2012.
Because there was no structured approach to compliance and security within the SMB market (which still holds today) and because our clients had, and have, justifiable concerns over increasing security threats, government compliance audits, and mandates from regulatory bodies (e.g., HIPAA and PCI), Steve realized it was time for the industry to stop “winging it.” In 2016 Choice CyberSecurity® (CCS) was born to step up to the industry’s challenges and provide structured security and compliance services that MSPs wanted and their clients needed and deserved.
Today, Choice CyberSecurity is now Choice Cyber Solutions and continues to evolve based on each new technology that’s introduced, each new threat to security that must be overcome, and each new regulatory compliance mandate that must be met by the clients we serve
