Sunbury's Growth-Corridor IT Partner
Managed IT and cybersecurity for the Intel-driven growth economy of Delaware and northern Licking County, manufacturers, data-center suppliers, construction and trades firms and the sponsor-backed operators buying into the corridor.
Sunbury sits at the edge of central Ohio's fastest-growing corridor. Intel's Licking County campus to the east is reshaping the regional economy, the construction supply chain, engineering services, skilled trades, fabricators and ancillary professional firms growing to serve it all pass through this area. Small businesses here face a specific problem: growing fast enough to stay relevant without outrunning the IT and compliance controls their new customers now require. Atticus Rowan is built for that inflection and we serve Sunbury and greater Delaware County as part of our compliance-first Ohio practice.

How we work with Sunbury industries
Manufacturing
Sunbury-area manufacturers, fabricators and semiconductor- adjacent suppliers face customer security expectations that are rigorous from the first purchase order. Intel and its prime contractors run structured vendor-review programs with documented requirements for cybersecurity maturity, incident response and evidence of operation. Our manufacturing approach builds the control environment, documented evidence and monitoring cadence semiconductor OEM reviews expect.
Private-equity portfolio companies
The trades, fabrication and industrial-services firms scaling with the Intel and data-center build-out are exactly the profile sponsors buy as add-ons, and a company entering a portfolio environment faces IT diligence on a 90-day clock. We support a lower-middle-market PE portfolio company we carved out from its publicly-traded industrial-services parent operator, building the standalone IT environment, operating as the post-close MSP and producing the reporting cadence sponsors expect. That experience informs how we work with both the operating partner and the management team.
Technology and SaaS
Data-center construction, fiber buildout and ancillary technology services supporting the Intel campus are a growing part of the Sunbury economy. These firms often handle customer site drawings, network designs and physical-access plans that require rigorous information-handling controls. Our work for data-center suppliers emphasizes IP protection, client-project segregation and documented access logging sufficient for customer audit review.
Professional services (legal, accounting)
Engineering firms, accounting firms, law firms and specialty consultancies in Sunbury and the surrounding townships hold sensitive client data under professional and insurance obligations. Our professional-services work focuses on client-segregated access, phishing-resistant authentication, data-loss prevention and documented evidence professional- liability carriers demand.
Distribution
Distribution and light-industrial operations across this corridor depend on always-on WMS and ERP systems. We focus on redundancy, tested failover and monthly documented restore procedures.

Common questions, Sunbury
We're scaling fast thanks to Intel-related work. When should we upgrade our IT?
Before the next customer security questionnaire, not after. Growth without IT maturity is how 15-employee companies end up locked out of 50-employee customers. The cost of building the baseline proactively is small, the cost of reacting to a lost contract is much larger. Most firms we engage in this profile need 60-90 days to reach customer-review-ready state.
Do you serve trades and construction firms? They're usually underserved.
Yes. Construction, electrical, mechanical, fiber and site-services firms fit our practice model, particularly those pursuing data-center and enterprise project work. The IT profile is distinct: field-mobility requirements, project-based client-data handling, subcontractor network access and documented information handling per customer contract. We design for that profile rather than applying a generic small-business template.
We've been break-fix our whole existence. What does managed IT actually change?
From a call-when-it-breaks model to proactive monitoring, patching, 24/7 security operations, tested backups, documented controls and managed identity. It is the difference between reactive and prepared. Managed clients stop experiencing the same problems twice, the first ticket becomes a documented fix plus a monitoring rule plus a runbook entry.
What cybersecurity do Intel's tier-1 contractors actually require from subcontractors?
Expectations vary by prime contractor, but baseline requirements typically include: documented cybersecurity program (NIST CSF 2.0 is a common reference), MFA across systems touching customer data, endpoint protection with central visibility, patch management with documented SLAs, tested backups with immutability, incident response plan plus documented tabletop, vendor-risk management and evidence of operation.
A sponsor wants to buy us as an add-on. What should be in place before diligence starts?
A documented cybersecurity program mapped to NIST CSF 2.0, tested backup and recovery with evidence of operation, cyber insurance in force, incident history with nothing hidden, a vendor-risk inventory and a prioritized roadmap for the gaps. We have supported a full carve-out from a publicly-traded industrial-services parent and operate as the post-close MSP for that portfolio company, so we know what the operating partner reads first and what the 100-day plan looks like after close.
We're outgrowing our current setup. How do you handle the transition without downtime?
Staged migration. The 30-day assessment documents the current environment and identifies the migration path. We stabilize and monitor the current environment first, build the new environment in parallel, cut over systems in planned windows (after-hours, weekends or project-aligned dates) and run parallel for a verification period before decommissioning.
SOC 2, can you help us get there?
Yes. We guide companies preparing for SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits, building the control environment, operating it long enough to produce the evidence the auditor needs and coordinating with the SOC 2 audit firm. We are not a SOC 2 audit firm ourselves; we are the MSP that makes the audit reach a clean opinion.
