Pillars 01 & 02

Hardware Lab &
Governance Suite

Every device Powell Tech Group builds is hardened to CIS standards. Every piece of data we sanitize is certified to NIST 800-88 Rev.1. And every client on the Governance Suite has a documented, audit-ready patch framework — not just a plan, but proof.

Pillar 01

Hardware Lab

Powell Tech Group doesn't just build computers — we build secure, documented, audit-ready computing environments. Every device leaves the lab with a configuration record, security baseline, and — if data sanitization was performed — a Certificate of Data Destruction.

🔒

CIS Hardening

Every build follows CIS Benchmark Level 1 or Level 2 controls — the same standard used in government and enterprise environments.

📄

Configuration Record

Every device ships with a documented configuration record listing installed software, security controls applied, and hardware specs.
