Common IT Challenges for Technology Startups 

Technology startups face unique IT challenges that can impact their ability to grow and innovate.

Limited Resources: Startups often lack the resources for a full IT department, needing to choose carefully what managed IT services they trust to support their business.

Scalability: Rapid growth requires technology that can scale, and without scalable technology, your startup can suffer and fall behind the times.

Data Security: Startups handle valuable data that needs protection from cyber threats. For new companies, a major breach can damage your reputation before it's even built.

Downtime and Disruption: Downtime can severely disrupt a startup's productivity, requiring proactive monitoring and rapid responsiveness to minimize downtime.

Compliance and Data Management: Many startups operate in regulated industries that require strict data protection measures with their own complex requirements that must be balanced.

CMT Surveying and Consulting has been working with CHR for some time now and the biggest benefit we have experienced is the sense of security that they provide. After we suffered from a ransomware attack, CHR was able to get us out of the situation quickly and efficiently.

Working with CHR Creative has been monumental to our cybersecurity and IT management.

Their team has brought a breadth of experience and excellence across various fields of Information Technology, and they made themselves easily accessible and approachable.
