WHY RHEAP DATA?
Because we MAKE IT BETTER.
Rheap Data was founded in 2018 by Tyler Despain (current CEO) when the company he worked for was sold. In the wake of the merger, several clients were deemed “too small” for the new company, which left these clients to start from scratch in searching for a new IT Cybersecurity Service Provider (which is no easy task). Tyler used his 8+ years of IT and Cybersecurity experience working with small and medium sized businesses to fill the hole left behind by his old company. Tyler took these clients in and helped them stay on their feet, making what could have been a tumultuous transition into a smooth slide. Since then Rheap Data has been striving to fill holes in the IT Cybersecurity Service Provider industry by handling technology issues with a client-forward mindset. Tyler holds a CC from ISC2.
We work hard to ensure that our clients feel valued, understood, and appreciated with every call they make for any technology issue they are facing. Rheap Data’s mission is to Make it Better. We do this by taking your concerns seriously, no matter how trivial they may seem. We also take a logical client-first approach to cybersecurity. This approach is represented by the heap data structure in our logo. A heap data structure is a logical based sorting algorithm that allows a system to determine the best possible course of action to take. For Rheap Data, we use this process to quickly respond to all needs to provide immediate help to the most critical of circumstances, while also providing timely service to less critical needs.
Our approach to cybersecurity contains three pillars that are necessary for any functioning cybersecurity infrastructure, Security, Usability, and Efficiency. We want you to have the most secure, cost-effective, and usable system that will make your technology efficient and increase your security. At Rheap Data we’ve seen clients come to great success in protecting their data by trusting us to Make it Better.

You’ve Got Questions…
We’ve Got Answers
DO I REALLY NEED A CYBERSECURITY SERVICE PROVIDER?
Yes, you really do. If you use technology in your business, you need to make sure you’re using the right security services and have the right policies in place to get the job done. If you go in it alone, without a Cybersecurity Service Provider for your small business, you’ll be bombarded by thousands of options that would make anyone’s head spin. Make sure you’re getting the best deal, using the most efficient software, and minimizing employee downtime by using a Cybersecurity Service Provider to take all things technology off your plate. We make it better.
HOW IMPORTANT IS CYBERSECURITY?
If you use any technology, then Cybersecurity is important to you. Do you login to a bank account using the internet? Do you have an online system that manages student information? Do you transmit any personal data (including credit card information) over the internet for processing? These basic online operations subject you to regulations that, if not followed, can result in an incident that can your students at risk. Something as simple as accessing your bank account on an unsecure internet connection can give attackers access to all your banking information. Transmitting card holder data over an insecure line can open you up to credit card fraud. It takes expertise and training to understand all the vectors of attack, the defense mechanisms, and the regulations a school must follow in order to best protect themselves and their students. Cybersecurity attacks cost magnitudes more than mitigation. Administrators and even IT Staff don’t have time to research every new cyber threat or implement every new regulation to secure your school against attacks. We make it better. At Rheap Data, we take care of everything using an iterative process developed from industry standard Cybersecurity Frameworks that will strike an efficient balance between access and security.
