The partnership with Crimson Vista started with a straightforward recognition: our clients’ security needs had outgrown traditional MSP services.
Cyber insurance applications now require documented security controls. Compliance frameworks demand ongoing risk assessments. Ransomware isn’t a theoretical threat—it’s a business continuity issue. Cybersecurity has become as fundamental to running a business as keeping the lights on.
Crimson Vista is a specialist cybersecurity engineering firm that works with growing companies and their MSP partners. They deliver the level of security architecture and risk management that most organizations can’t maintain in-house but need in order to operate confidently.
This partnership means responsive, localized IT support backed by genuine cybersecurity engineering expertise. Our clients get a team that understands their day-to-day operations paired with specialists who can design and implement resilient security environments.
The result: infrastructure that supports growth, and security posture that holds up under scrutiny.
Our clients- offices, clinics, studios, shops, and professional practices across New York, depend on reliable IT every day. But as your business grows, so do the risks:
PointerTech already helps you set up, maintain, and support your infrastructure. With Crimson Vista, we now extend that support into advanced cybersecurity design, testing, and governance, tailored to your business needs.

From the news release announcing the partnership:
“We are extremely impressed with PointerTech’s customer-first approach and their attention to detail, which are the kinds of partners that we love to work with,” said Dr. Seth Nielson, Founder and CTO of Crimson Vista. “By combining their hands-on MSP services with our Vista TierX capabilities, we can help organizations of all sizes move toward stronger and more mature security postures.”
“Our clients trust us to keep them productive every day, and security is a big part of that promise,” said Yonatan Yekutiel, CEO at PointerTech IT Solutions. “Partnering with Crimson Vista lets us bring enterprise-grade cybersecurity into the day-to-day IT decisions we make together with our customers, without adding complexity or taking away from the personal service they’re used to.”
Through Crimson Vista, PointerTech’s commercial clients can now:
All of this happens with PointerTech at your side, managing the relationship and connecting security recommendations back to your actual infrastructure and day-to-day operations.
Crimson Vista’s work with PointerTech is organized into two main groups of services: Assess & Verify and Strengthen & Remediate.
These services help you understand where you stand, what your risks are, and how ready you are for audits or incidents.
For clients facing regulatory audits (such as healthcare, finance, or defense contractors) or pursuing certifications like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. The program guides the entire compliance project—from initial gap analysis to audit preparation—so you’re not scrambling at the last minute.
For organizations required by their cyber insurance carrier or board to maintain a formal risk register. This assessment identifies your critical assets, evaluates threats and vulnerabilities, and prioritizes security investments using a business-focused, quantified approach.
For any business that wants to know how it would perform against today’s most common and costly cyber threat. This evaluation reviews prevention, detection, backup, and recovery capabilities and tests how your business continuity plans would hold up in a real-world attack scenario.
For mid-to-large clients making big technology moves—like launching a new digital product, migrating to AWS or Azure, or segmenting complex networks. This review verifies that your new or evolving infrastructure is designed securely before you commit fully and helps avoid expensive retrofits later.
These services help you improve your security posture and practice how to respond when something goes wrong.
For clients with high-value, internet-facing assets (web apps, payment systems, confidential data) or those who need external validation of their controls. These engagements simulate real attackers to test your defenses end-to-end and identify weaknesses before criminals do.
For organizations where executive leadership, legal, and communications teams must be involved in security incidents. These structured simulations walk through realistic breach scenarios, revealing gaps in roles, decisions, and communication plans—without the stress and cost of a real incident.
For businesses that require significant security realignment, for example after a major incident or when preparing for new regulatory or insurance requirements. Crimson Vista works with PointerTech and your leadership team to design a remediation roadmap that is realistic, prioritized, and aligned with your budget.
For boards, C-suite leaders, and senior managers who need clear, non-technical guidance on cyber risk, fiduciary duties, regulatory obligations, and personal security (including home offices). This training helps leadership ask better questions, set risk appetite, and support the right investments in security.
All of these services are available only to PointerTech’s business and commercial clients, and are scoped and delivered in coordination with our team.
