Every training completion is logged with timestamps. When the IRS or FTC asks for training records, you have them ready.

Business Continuity Planning

Ransomware Response
If ransomware hits, MMIT isolates affected systems, assesses the scope, coordinates recovery from clean backups, and helps you meet IRS breach notification requirements.

A breach can freeze your ability to e-file
