Worthington's Professional-Services IT Partner
Managed IT and cybersecurity for Worthington's wealth advisors, law firms, accounting practices, medical specialty offices and the professional employers along High Street and the Columbus north corridor.
Worthington is one of Columbus's most established affluent suburbs, a dense concentration of wealth management and RIA firms, law and accounting practices, specialty medical offices, and the insurance agencies and corporate-services operators serving Franklin County's northern corridor. Firms here are small by headcount but face regulatory and insurance scrutiny scaled to the clients they serve. Atticus Rowan is built for that mismatch.

How we work with Worthington industries
Financial services (banks, credit unions, RIAs, insurance agents)
Worthington's wealth management, RIA, community bank, credit union and insurance-agency ecosystem operates under SEC, state-examiner, custodian and carrier expectations that have escalated every year. For firms under $500M AUM, our financial-services practice builds the examination-ready control environment, documented vendor-risk management, tested incident response, MFA across client-facing systems, and evidence that substantiates Form ADV Part 2A cybersecurity disclosures rather than restating them aspirationally.
Professional services (legal, accounting)
Law firms, accounting firms and engineering consultancies in Worthington hold sensitive client data under professional and liability obligations where accidental disclosure is a liability event. Our professional-services work emphasizes matter-level or client-level access segregation, encrypted storage at rest and in transit, audit logging sufficient for bar-grievance or malpractice defense and documented evidence professional-liability carriers demand at renewal.
Senior care and multi-site healthcare
Multi-site senior-care and medical specialty operators in the Worthington-Columbus corridor face a specific IT profile: multiple locations with thin local IT, HIPAA business-associate obligations, state health-department reporting requirements and resident or patient data protection a failed audit can make operationally painful. Our practice supports multi-site operators with that profile.
Private-equity portfolio companies
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 directly informs our engagement model for Worthington-area operating partners and portfolio CEOs.

Common questions, Worthington
We're a small Worthington wealth management firm. Is our IT really a compliance risk?
Yes. SEC and state-examiner expectations on RIAs now include documented cybersecurity policies, tested incident response, vendor-risk management and evidence that your Form ADV Part 2A cybersecurity disclosure reflects what the firm actually does. For firms under $500M AUM, we design the control environment specifically for smaller-firm scale.
Our law firm handles sensitive matters. How do you protect client data?
Matter-level or client-level access segregation, encrypted storage at rest and in transit, audit logging sufficient for bar-grievance defense, tested backups and documented offboarding procedures. We design for the stakes-level where accidental cross-matter disclosure is a professional liability event.
We run a specialty medical practice. What does HIPAA compliance actually require?
Administrative, technical and physical safeguards spanning access control, audit logging, encryption, incident response, device management and documented workforce training. For most Worthington practices, 60-90 days of focused work gets to signed-BAA-ready state with covered entities and carriers.
Our cyber insurance questionnaire got longer this year. Can you help?
Yes. We map each question to the control already in place (with documentation), identify partial coverage (with a remediation plan), and produce a response package the carrier accepts on first review. The deliverable improves next year's premium and your posture.
SOC 2, can you help us pursue it?
Yes. We guide companies preparing for SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. We are not a SOC 2 audit firm ourselves; we are the MSP that makes the audit reach a clean opinion.
