Governance

Rules of the Road
Think of governance like the rules of the road. Without traffic lights, speed limits, and driving lanes, roads would be chaotic and dangerous. Governance provides similar structure for your business - it creates order, reduces risks, and helps everyone move safely toward their destination.

Risk

Bring Your Umbrella
Think of risk like weather forecasting. When the forecast shows a 90% chance of heavy rain, you bring an umbrella and maybe reschedule your outdoor plans. Risk management works the same way—we look ahead at what might happen, how likely it is, and how serious it would be, then make practical decisions about what to do about it.

Compliance

Keep It Current
Think of compliance like keeping your driver's license current. You need to renew it by a certain date, carry it when driving, and follow traffic laws to keep it valid. For businesses, compliance works similarly—you need to keep permits and certifications up to date, follow industry regulations, and maintain records showing you've done things properly. It's about doing what you're supposed to do and having the paperwork to back it up.

The Whole Package

Smooth Business
GRC is like the foundation of a well-run business. Governance sets up who makes decisions and how they're made, just like establishing the rules of your household. Risk identifies potential problems before they happen, similar to checking the weather forecast before planning a picnic. Compliance ensures you're following all necessary rules and regulations, like keeping your driver's license current. Together, these three elements create a cycle that helps businesses run smoothly, avoid problems, and focus on what they do best while staying out of trouble.

Protect Your Bottom Line and Reputation

Protect your reputation and profits with right-sized cybersecurity. A data breach costs micro businesses an average of $120,000—our services help prevent these losses for a fraction of the cost. Our comprehensive approach delivers maximum value so you stay ahead of the curve.

History

1

1990

IT Sales, Support and Services

As an early pioneer in the IT services landscape, Future Quest Technologies became a thriving IT reseller/service business in 1990 when on-site technical support was virtually non-existent. From those foundational days serving Chicago's Northwest suburbs, we've continuously evolved with the industry—embracing cybersecurity, policy development, and specialized services like data recovery and document conversion as technology transformed.

2000

Cyber Security

Future Quest Technologies pivots into cybersecurity, recognizing the shift from niche technical specialty to critical business necessity. Anticipating the coming wave of digital threats, Future Quest positions itself ahead of the curve—three years before the Department of Homeland Security would establish its National Cyber Security Division—offering micro businesses enterprise-level protection at accessible price points.

2020

Bridging Digital and Financial Security

Building on two decades of cybersecurity expertise, I achieved certification in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Financial Crimes prevention for the banking sector. This strategic expansion of my skillset positioned me to provide comprehensive protection for micro business clients against both cyber threats and financial compliance risks—particularly valuable as digital banking adoption accelerated during the global pandemic and regulatory scrutiny intensified.

2023

Governance, Risk and Compliance

The cybersecurity journey evolved to embrace comprehensive Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks as the prestigious ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor Certification was attained. This advanced qualification empowered me to help micro businesses implement international best practices for information security management systems—translating complex standards into practical solutions that protect both data and reputation while demonstrating regulatory diligence to customers and partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

IT GRC stands for Governance, Risk, and Compliance - a structured approach that helps align your IT with business goals while managing risks and meeting industry and government regulations. Even as a micro business, you need it because digital threats don't discriminate by company size, and theft of digital information has become the most commonly reported fraud, surpassing physical theft.

No. While comprehensive GRC platforms may be expensive, IT GRC can be simplified for smaller organizations by focusing on core elements like employee training, creating a security handbook, conducting internal audits, and maintaining a basic risk register. The approach can be scaled to fit your business size and resources. Our pricing is geared towards affordability so your micro-business can rest-assured it's protected at a price that won't cause pain.

The penalties can be significant. Non-compliance penalties often include fines and potentially imprisonment in serious cases. While the most severe penalties (like 10-year prison terms) are rare, even smaller penalties can be devastating to a micro business. It's far more economically feasible to practice prevention. Contact me today to see how I can help your organization. The penalties can be significant. Non-compliance penalties often include fines and potentially imprisonment in serious cases.

Start with security awareness training for employees, phishing scam education, implementing endpoint detection and response (EDR), and creating an incident response plan web. These foundational elements provide significant protection without overwhelming resources. We're here to help you every step of the way!

This depends on your industry, location, and the type of data you handle. Healthcare organizations must comply with laws like HIPAA, while businesses handling payment card data need to follow PCI-DSS. A basic compliance audit can help identify which regulations apply to your specific situation. I'll make sure we identify the right regulations for your business to comply with.

For micro businesses, owners can often handle basic GRC functions with proper education. Creating a handbook with security policies, compliance requirements, and reporting procedures is something you can develop internally. As you grow, you might consider outsourcing specific components or hiring specialized expertise. I'm here to offer you assistance with micro-business affordable plans to ensure your GRC gets off to a great start.
