FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Vancord’s Onboarding Process

  • On most projects, onboarding is completed within 2 to 4 weeks. Timelines depend on the complexity of your systems, but we always work around your business hours to keep disruptions low.
  • You’ll receive a checklist with everything we need, such as user credentials, system access, a network diagram, and any current IT documentation. We make the handoff secure and simple.
  • Not at all. We coordinate our work during off-peak hours or downtime windows. Most clients experience little to no impact during the setup process.
  • Not necessarily. We support widely used platforms like Microsoft, Sentinel, and Elastic. If your current tools are working, we’ll build around them.
  • You’ll be assigned a dedicated onboarding lead who keeps you updated throughout the process. No ticket queues or generic emails, just real people ready to help.
  • We build your environment with compliance in mind. Our setup aligns with HIPAA, NIST, CMMC, and other relevant frameworks, so your systems are secure and audit-ready from the start.
  • Most plans include 24/7 monitoring, incident response, vulnerability scanning, endpoint protection, lifecycle management, helpdesk support, and disaster recovery, all with a focus on cybersecurity.
  • Our Security Operations Center monitors your environment 24/7. If there’s an issue, our team is ready to respond quickly, anytime, day or night.
