When you’re responsible for protecting sensitive health information, cybersecurity isn’t just important—it’s non-negotiable.
A major nonprofit in Nebraska providing mental health and substance use services across multiple counties discovered the hard way how vulnerable its IT systems were after a cyber incident exposed significant security gaps.
“We thought we had a comprehensive package, but bad actors are getting better every day—and we weren’t keeping up.”
For an organization whose mission rests on community trust, falling behind wasn’t an option.
Turning to a Local Partner They Could Trust
That’s when the nonprofit turned to American PCS—a name they already knew and trusted through community ties. What made APCS different was its proactive, people-first approach to IT security.
Instead of relying on delayed email tickets, APCS provided:
-Local, fully accountable support - remote when efficient, in-person when needed
-Proactive cybersecurity strategy
-Co-managed IT partnership
Transitioning to co-managed IT came with adjustments. Their staff was used to handling everything alone, and learning to share responsibilities was a shift. But APCS’s transparency, quick response times, and strategic insight made the change seamless.
“They don’t just fix things—they help us think ahead and protect what’s coming.”
Confidence Restored
Since partnering with APCS, the nonprofit now benefits from real-time threat detection. Suspicious emails, unusual logins, and system anomalies are flagged and addressed within minutes.
Yes, the investment was larger than what they’d been paying before. But leadership calls it “a necessary part of doing business.”
“You can’t afford not to do this. Protecting health information is our business.”
Most importantly, the nonprofit can now reassure clients that their information is safe.
“When someone asks, ‘Is my information secure?’ we can confidently say yes.”
More Than a Vendor—A True Partner
For this nonprofit, American PCS isn’t just an IT provider—it’s a partner in their mission.
“You don’t feel alone in decision-making anymore. You have a partner who can help you figure out the hard things.”
For nonprofits and businesses alike, cybersecurity isn’t just about systems and software. It’s about trust. And choosing the right partner can make all the difference.
