Your IT Company in Atlanta, Georgia

IT Company Serving Atlanta, GA Businesses Since 1991

COMNEXIA is a security-first managed IT services company headquartered in Roswell, GA, serving Atlanta-area businesses across Fulton County and the broader metro since 1991. For over 35 years, we have provided Atlanta businesses with structured, documented IT management built around reducing breach risk before it touches operations. This page explains exactly what an IT company engagement with COMNEXIA looks like, what platforms we deploy, and why Atlanta auto dealerships in particular benefit from our specialization.

What "IT Company" Actually Means for an Atlanta Business

Hiring an IT company is not the same as calling a break-fix technician when something stops working. A managed IT company takes proactive ownership of your environment: monitoring endpoints continuously, pushing patches before vulnerabilities are exploited, enforcing access policies, and documenting every configuration change. For a typical Atlanta-area professional services firm or dealership with 20 to 200 seats, that means a named account structure, a ticketing system every employee can reach, and monthly reporting you can actually read at a staff meeting.

COMNEXIA manages endpoints using NinjaOne RMM (remote monitoring and management), which gives our technicians real-time visibility into patch status, hardware health, and software inventory across every managed device. Patches for Windows, third-party applications, and firmware are staged and deployed on a defined schedule, not left to individual users. Endpoint detection and response runs on SentinelOne, which provides behavioral AI-based threat detection and automated rollback of ransomware-encrypted files without requiring a helpdesk ticket to initiate containment.

Security-First Foundation: What We Configure, Not Just What We Monitor

The security posture COMNEXIA establishes at onboarding is specific and auditable. For identity, we configure Microsoft Entra ID conditional access policies that enforce multi-factor authentication on every sign-in attempt, block authentication from non-compliant devices, and restrict access by geographic location when appropriate for the client's risk profile. We apply Microsoft Secure Score benchmarks and document the baseline so future drift is measurable.

Email filtering routes through Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with Safe Links and Safe Attachments enabled, providing detonation-sandbox analysis of attachments before delivery. DNS-layer filtering through Cisco Umbrella blocks malicious domains at the resolver level, stopping threats before a connection is established. These are not optional add-ons; they are standard components of our managed stack for every Atlanta client from day one of onboarding.

Atlanta Auto Dealerships: IT Requirements the FTC Safeguards Rule Enforces

Atlanta-area auto dealerships operating under the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314, substantially updated June 2023) face specific IT obligations that general-purpose IT vendors frequently mishandle. The rule requires a written information security program, annual risk assessments, multi-factor authentication on systems containing customer financial data, encryption of customer nonpublic personal information (NPI) in transit and at rest, and continuous monitoring or annual penetration testing of covered systems.

Dealerships running CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, or Dealertrack DMS platforms store NPI at the application layer and on the network segments those platforms occupy. COMNEXIA segments dealer networks so DMS traffic runs on isolated VLANs, limiting lateral movement if a workstation is compromised. We document each control in a format that satisfies the Safeguards Rule's written program requirement, and we provide a quarterly report mapping your current controls to the rule's nine required program elements.

• FTC Safeguards Rule written information security program documentation, updated annually
• Network segmentation isolating CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, and Dealertrack DMS traffic onto dedicated VLANs
• Microsoft Entra ID MFA enforced on all accounts with access to customer NPI
• SentinelOne EDR deployed on all dealer workstations and service-lane terminals
• NinjaOne RMM for patch management, software inventory, and hardware health monitoring
• Cisco Umbrella DNS filtering to block command-and-control callbacks from compromised devices
• Encrypted offsite backup with tested restore procedures, documented to satisfy Safeguards Rule continuity requirements

Onboarding Process and Ongoing Reporting

COMNEXIA onboarding follows a documented 30-day process: network discovery and asset inventory in week one, security baseline configuration and RMM agent deployment in weeks two and three, and a formal kickoff review with your team in week four that covers open findings, escalation contacts, and the helpdesk ticketing workflow your staff will use. Every Atlanta client receives a dedicated ticketing portal through ConnectWise Manage and a monthly report covering patch compliance percentages, open and resolved tickets by category, and any security events detected and remediated during the period.

Helpdesk support is available by phone, email, and ticket portal during business hours, with after-hours escalation paths for production-down situations documented at onboarding rather than invented on the fly during an incident.
