Kansas Data Security

We provide IT security and support services for the Wichita, KS area.

This is a one-page website for KS Data Security. Why a one-page website? Because most business websites are way too busy and nobody reads 90% of the material that’s on them. Your time is valuable, my time is valuable. Let’s keep this pithy.

We’re a B2B IT-support provider with a special focus on data backups. We like to keep things simple so we’ll answer your most likely questions first:

  • Are these guys legit? Answer: Yes. We’ve been in business over ten years and we’re good at what we do.
  • How do I contact them? Answer: Email info@ksdatasecurity.com or call 316-854-8261

Ok, want to know a little more? What is KDS great at?

  • Data backups using the latest secure techniques – Hardened Linux datastores, segmented networks, offsite backup copies, and so on. We take backups very seriously.
  • Managed backup – We make sure your backups run on a daily basis.
  • GLBA / CMMC security assessments and vulnerability scans.
  • Network engineering and design – Primarily with Cisco switches, but we also use Ubiquiti or Dell if the situation calls.
  • Watchguard firewall configuration and security optimization
  • Wireless network configuration and installation
  • Systems Monitoring using PRTG.
  • Highly personal Managed Services for smaller organizations

Ok, but, everyone says they’re great at those things. What does KDS give up to be great at those things? What does KDS NOT do?

  • We don’t do residential work.
  • We don’t do Managed Services for companies with 100+ endpoints. That takes a level of automation we don’t have and don’t want to have. And cheap foreign labor doing remote IT for $5 an hour. If you’re a large organization with your own IT department, we do consulting only.
  • We don’t do Audio/Visual stuff though we wish did. So cool.
  • We don’t do database work.
  • We don’t develop software.
  • We don’t design or install door controls, security cameras, or alarm systems.
  • No Point of Sale configuration or installation.
  • We use Linux for a our backup repositories but otherwise don’t work with it at all.

Do we have references?

  • Yes. Call or email for references. We do consulting and support for large colleges, K-12 schools, manufacturers, non-profits, law firms, and the like.

What brands do we sell?

  • Cisco Switches and Smartnet
  • Watchguard Firewalls, Wireless, Authpoint, and Anti-Virus – We’re a Watchguard Gold partner.
  • Dell servers, workstations, and laptops
  • Veeam Backup Software

Who works at KDS?

  • Joe Taverner VI – Business owner. Been doing IT since 2008. Resident Veeam expert.
  • Joe Taverner V – Old Master. Currently semi-retired but lends a hand when his son VI needs help. Has forgotten more about networking than most techs will ever know.
  • Nehemiah Flickinger – Powershell Pro, script writer, and onsite support guru. He’s also quite good with Mac though we don’t hold that against him.
  • David Smith – Remote support and back office NOC. Lots of experience. Builds custom cars. Cool guy.

That’s it. Thanks for reading. Give us a call.
