Santa Clarita
Manufacturing IT Services

'Keeping the shop floor running efficiently so they can ship parts'. That is the goal of any successful IT support for manufacturers, and is the guiding principle of every decision we make for our manufacturing clients at The Network Doctor. Over the last 40+ years, we've been supporting the manufacturing industry in Santa Clarita by following that principle with our security-centric approach and proactive, preventative maintenance.

The Difference of Expert Manufacturing IT Services

At first glance, managed IT services for manufacturers looks a lot like managed services for everybody else: keeping offices running and productive for administrative, billing, and HR needs in addition to risk reduction and a focus on network security. This is an important part of the business, and one we take very seriously, but dedicated, experienced service that knows the industry can tackle so much more.

For example, an experienced IT team would know that embedded operating systems, often critical for daily processes, carry severe vulnerabilities that need to be removed from the rest of the business' network. Consolidating these older systems into a "Shop Floor" network isolated from the regular business network keeps the more modern operations secure while avoiding the impractical answer of "tear it all down and rebuild it".

What Manufacturers Get With The Network Doctor

  • Security Infrastructure: By focusing on security, we can build our services around the mitigation of supply chain attacks that threaten to devastate operations.
  • Ongoing Maintenance: We create ongoing tasks for each client including remote and on-site support that keep systems tested, productive, and secure. The tech world keeps changing, and it's our responsibility to change with it and respond to new challenges.
  • Compliance Expertise: As manufacturers engage with so many other industries, there can never be a comprehensive list of compliance needs. However, as our supported compliance frameworks include PCI, FTC Safeguards, CMMC L1 and L2, GDPR, SOC2, NIST 800-171 and we are a proud member of the Los Angeles FBI InfraGard Team, we are able to tackle whichever business compliance issue comes our way.
  • Decades of Knowledge: Our services have helped manufacturers dealing with conveyor and lift systems, welding systems, packaging systems, and more. We both know these systems and have processes in place to learn any new systems that come our way, never intimidated or put off by something we don't understand.

Real Results Of How We’ve Helped Manufacturers Succeed

A manufacturer in our area was at risk of a serious issue when a vulnerability in a software update was pushed to their firewall. This security gap was live for less than 5 days when the attack happened before security companies could properly diagnose and be made aware of the problem. When that firewall was breached, the attackers were able to encrypt servers and compromise virtualization hosts.

In response to this Nation-State level threat, we were able to save all necessary forensic data for an incident response team with insurance companies and get the entire business back up and running within less than a week. That was one of the most serious and challenging issues that we'd come across, and we worked to turn what could be a company-shuttering problem into a (serious but survivable) disruption of service.

What Manufacturers Should Look Out For Moving Forward

Everything in manufacturing is being affected by AI, which means every smart device or workflow is an opportunity for unsafe AI usage. The security risks with generative AI programs can be severe when not managed correctly, and proper IT support has the responsibility of training clients on how to maintain security while using these new software options as well as installing guardrails on the programs.

Being a CPA firm the storage and protection of our client's data is absolutely critical to the success of our business. After realizing our old tape backups weren't working properly we contacted The Network Doctor to see what other solutions were out there. Bob set us up with an onsite and off site back up plan that has worked flawlessly. We have had a few occasions where we deleted something that we needed and The Network Doctor was able to have it back on our server in a matter of minutes. Since we started using TNDI's Data-Safe backup system we haven't had to worry about lost data or computer issue since. We never realized how important it was to have a good IT company behind our business and now we recommend it to all of our clients.

I have been a client of TNDI for over 12 years now and have seen many changes in technology. The addition of the Data-Safe Backup was one of the smartest moves we have made. We used to back up on tape which protected us but was not very convenient. Now if we need a file restored we simply let TNDI know at it is usually done within 30 to 45 minutes and this has saved us time and effort. I would highly recommend the service.

The backup system provided by TNDI gives our company peace of mind

Last month we had some files deleted from our server in error and so I contacted TNDI to see if they could restore them. They were able to restore the files within 15 minutes. Every time we have needed to retrieve something from our backup, it has always been available.

I have known Bob for close to 20 years and believe he has been the greatest find of my career. He is indeed the IT consultant's consultant. I have successfully run my IT company for 35 years and cannot count the number of times I have gone to Bob for answers to my toughest questions, to which he has always been able to provide complete, well thought out solutions. In addition to his brilliant mind, he is thoroughly trustworthy. His integrity, honesty, and humility are legend. If Bob has a fault it is his perfectionism. When he engineers a system for a client, he makes sure every aspect of it is done correctly and once it is assembled it is tested thoroughly and that testing goes on throughout the lifetime of the system.

One day Bob told me about a top-notch cybersecurity product he was testing and planning to add to his arsenal of cyber defenses for his clients and the next day he relates how he notified the company that he had discovered an exploitable weakness in their software. This tells you two things about Bob, he doesn't just accept the claims of a software company at face value, he digs in to make sure the product is thoroughly vetted before he uses it for his clients and his skillset is so strong that within hours of getting his hands on it, he can find a fault in a product that has undergone thousands of hours of testing by senior engineers and been in use by thousands of clients worldwide.

Bob and I were founding partners of a cloud services company in 2011. We sat on the board of directors together and I got to see Bob in action on a daily basis. All I can say is that I was impressed as were the other top-level executives of the company. I know of dozens of the best IT consultants in the country who seek out Bob to help solve their problems or to get a second opinion. If I weren't already in the IT business myself there is no doubt that Bob and his company would be the IT firm I would choose for my company.

My first experience with Bob and The Network Doctor was back in the early 1990's when he designed and implemented a sophisticated remote access solution for me at Cardservice International. We were in need of a robust solution to allow our regional managers and remote office workers to safely and securely access our back office systems. Bob took the time to understand our business, our budget, and built a solid foundation that supported our growth for many years. From this success came many years of continued business with The Network Doctor. Enterprise Servers, RightFax Enterprise implementation, mainframe host integration, and even tremendously complex network/application troubleshooting. When you buy a solution from the Network Doctor, know it comes with the BEST support possible because Bob is a wealth of knowledge. Detailed and methodical, I have personally experienced the complex hell a network and internally developed application problem can become and personally witnessed Bob in action as he quickly helped us isolate the problems, developed recommendations and worked with our technical and development staff to resolve them. Bob is truly an expert in his field. Knowing him as vendor, colleague, mentor, and friend for 15+ years has been a true honor and privilege. Trust Bob and The Network Doctor for your Information Technology needs and solutions. Your only regret will be not calling him sooner.
