From critical infrastructure to private financial data to DOT-managed projects, firms in architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), banking, and energy face growing compliance pressure. Agencies and clients expect controls that align with frameworks like NIST, CIS, NERC, and evolving privacy laws.
At 5 Factor, we’ve helped organizations across these sectors implement controls that not only meet requirements—but actually strengthen operations and reduce risk. We don’t just check boxes. We build compliance into your day-to-day workflow.
AEC Firms & DOT Projects
AEC companies working with DOTs or large public agencies are now expected to meet controls modeled on NIST 800-53 and CIS frameworks.
We help you:
Banking & Financial Services
Banks and credit unions are under increasing scrutiny from regulators and insurers. Whether your security program maps to NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or FFIEC guidance, we help you:
Energy & Utilities (NERC-CIP)
Energy providers must comply with NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards. 5 Factor helps you:
We know compliance doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it has to work within the tools, constraints, and teams you already have. That’s why our process starts with understanding your environment and ends with a right-sized solution, not an off-the-shelf product.

Ready to get aligned with NERC, NIST, CIS, or privacy requirements?
Let’s start with a conversation to see if we’re the right fit to support your environment.
Outsourced IT management involves partnering with a third-party provider, like 5 Factor, to oversee your technology infrastructure, including network monitoring, helpdesk support, and system maintenance—allowing your team to focus on core business priorities.
Costs vary based on your business size, complexity, and service needs. We offer flexible pricing models, such as fixed monthly rates or per-user pricing, that are often more cost-effective than hiring an in-house team, typically around 30-40% cheaper.
We pride ourselves on having a partnership with you. Your business retains full visibility and decision-making authority, while we handle the day-to-day management, monitoring, and technical support.
We support a wide range of industries including engineering, finance, healthcare, and professional services—with a strong focus on regulatory compliance and industry-specific tools like OpenRoads Designer and more.
No problem. We can either supplement your current provider with specialized services or fully transition support to 5 Factor. We’ll assess your current setup and guide you through a smooth, low-risk handoff if needed.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, and we take time to understand your business goals, challenges, and culture. That way, we can make sure we’re the right fit for your team—and that you’re a great fit for ours.
We set ourselves apart through innovative, tailored solutions, expert-level industry experience, 5-star service, honest communication, and a true partnership mindset focused on your long-term success.
