Boosting cybersecurity for Foster Insulation

Foster Insulation, a regional provider of insulation services, was experiencing issues with email deliverability, specifically, messages weren’t reaching one of their clients. After reaching out to Archetype SC, our team discovered their email domain had been blacklisted. The incident was a wake-up call, revealing larger vulnerabilities in their IT infrastructure.

Like many growing businesses, Foster Insulation operated primarily in the cloud and didn’t have dedicated internal IT resources. They needed a trusted partner to not only fix the immediate issue but also manage their entire IT and cybersecurity environment, ensuring system reliability, data protection, and compliance moving forward.

To resolve Foster Insulation’s email issue and strengthen their overall IT environment, Archetype SC delivered a fully managed cybersecurity solution tailored to their cloud-based, Mac-friendly setup. This included Managed XDR for improved threat detection and response.

We secured their email with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and implemented email authentication best practices (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) to protect domain trust and reduce spoofing. We also took over management of their Microsoft 365 environment and implemented vulnerability management to uncover and address security gaps.

Ongoing support and cybersecurity training help keep employees informed and systems protected. All services are delivered remotely, with onsite support available when needed.

Since partnering with Archetype SC, Foster Insulation has greatly improved both its cybersecurity and overall IT reliability. With continuous monitoring in place, they now have real-time visibility into potential threats and can respond more quickly when issues arise. Their Microsoft 365 environment is managed using security best practices, including proper user account setup and access controls. Advanced email protection helps ensure secure, uninterrupted communication.

Employees benefit from responsive tech support and ongoing cybersecurity training that helps them spot and avoid common threats like phishing. A backup and disaster recovery plan also gives them peace of mind that critical systems and data are protected, even during disruptions. With Archetype SC’s support, Foster Insulation has shifted from reactive IT troubleshooting to a more proactive, secure, and stable environment, so their team can stay focused on serving clients without tech-related worries.
