The Challenge

This engagement was completed by our Rhode Island team (formerly MERIT Solutions), now part of Charles IT.

Century Drywall, a growing organization with over 500 employees, needed to strengthen its cybersecurity posture in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats. With a large and diverse workforce, inconsistent security awareness across departments created risk for human error—one of the leading causes of security incidents.

The organization needed a scalable approach to cybersecurity education that would not only reduce risk, but also empower employees to recognize and respond to threats in real time.

The Solution

We implemented a customized cybersecurity education program designed to build a security-conscious culture across the entire organization.

This included:

  • Cybersecurity training tailored to different departments and roles
  • Threat assessments to identify key areas of vulnerability
  • Security awareness programs focused on real-world attack scenarios
  • Ongoing education to reinforce best practices and evolving threats
  • Risk management strategies to reduce exposure to cyber risks

The improvements led to:

  • Increased employee awareness of phishing and cyber threats
  • Stronger organization-wide security practices
  • Reduced risk of human error leading to security breaches
  • A more proactive and informed workforce
