Why Trust Matters in Microsoft Consulting

How We Handle Client Data

• All client data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
• No client data stored on EPC devices — all work performed in client-owned environments
• Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) executed for healthcare engagements
• Annual penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
• Background checks required for all consultants
• Data retention policies aligned to client requirements and regulatory mandates

Security Controls in Every Engagement

• Multi-factor authentication enforced for all team members
• Privileged access management with just-in-time (JIT) elevation
• Comprehensive audit logging of all administrative actions
• Incident response plan with 1-hour notification SLA for security events
• Quarterly security awareness training for all consultants
• Secure development lifecycle (SDL) practices for custom code

“EPC Group transformed our Power BI environment from an ungoverned mess into a secure, scalable analytics platform. Their HIPAA expertise meant we never had to compromise between compliance and usability.”

“We evaluated three GSIs and two boutique firms. EPC was the only firm that put senior architects on our project from day one. The difference in quality and speed was dramatic.”

“The governance scorecard EPC provided during our evaluation process was more valuable than some vendors' entire proposals. It showed they understood our maturity level before we even signed a contract.”

“What impressed us most was the post-go-live support. Four weeks of hypercare, weekly check-ins, and proactive performance tuning. Most consultants disappear after deployment.”
