Who Is Andrew And Why Is Everyone In
Cyber Security Talk About Him?
Andrew Ramsey is the CEO and owner of Precision Solution Group. The Columbus, Ohio-based IT firm was founded in 2002 to provide a one-stop-shop and flexible managed IT services to small and medium-sized Ohio businesses. For over twenty years, Andrew has gained extensive knowledge and experience in the cyber security and compliance arenas, including IRS Publication 1075, HIPAA/HITECH, PCI, and SOC2 standards just to mention a few. Growing up in Ohio, Andrew had a very modest upbringing, and his family was constantly moving. He didn’t complete a single school year at the same school until high school. On his own and providing for himself since he was 18, he was driven to succeed. His grandfather impressed upon him the importance of hard work, focus, and logic-based decision-making skills, which helped shape him into the determined, successful entrepreneur that he is today.
Andrew graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s in business administration. Applying his degree, talent, and 'true calling' for designing, building, and implementing technology, Andrew began his career with companies such as Clark Refining, Nationwide Insurance, and The Scotts Company, where he traveled throughout Europe, Canada, and The United States. While at Scott's, Andrew launched Precision Solution Group and obtained a law firm as his first client.
Today, Andrew has grown PSG into one of Ohio’s most successful and reliable IT firms, serving clients with five to five hundred workstations. His firm has become a household name within the Special Council law firm market in Ohio and serves clients in the general legal markets, healthcare, manufacturing, financial institutions, accounting, and non-profits.
With more than 14 years of compliance experience, Andrew understands the complexities, nuances, and time involved in managing a successful compliance program. It’s what sets Precision Solution Group apart from other MSPs. Their team of experts is a leading IRS Safeguards 1075 compliance vendor in Ohio, participating in over 50 compliance audits for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and delivering scores of 100 on multiple compliance SCSEMs across several audits for their clients. Andrew’s goal as an IT provider is to be a trusted partner to his clients with a one-stop-shop firm with cutting-edge technology solutions that empower and protect businesses across the state of Ohio.
As CEO and owner of Precision Solution Group, Andrew stays ahead of the compliance curve to ensure his entire firm delivers the right technology and knowledge to his clients to make their compliance journeys successful. As compliance rules evolve, PSG is in the know. With cyberattacks increasing in sophistication and frequency, one breach could interrupt operations or bring measurable financial losses. For these reasons, Andrew has made cybersecurity a core focus to help businesses maintain best cyber practices and to protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data including FTI (federal tax information) and PII (personally identifiable information). When Andrew is away from the office, he enjoys spending time with friends and family and watching any John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies he can find.

Deciphering IRS 1075: Navigating Compliance Requirements
Compliance never seems easy. And when it’s for the federal government, namely the Internal Revenue Service, well, the level of difficulty just went to a whole new level. And that’s exactly the case with IRS 1075.
As an MSP or MSSP working in the compliance area, interacting with several types of sensitive government data on networks, I follow NIST SP 800-53 as a basis, which is a comprehensive set of privacy and security controls that protect federal information systems. IRS 1075 Publication is a synopsis of 800-53. It's kind of like Cliff Notes. But you need to look at all the thousands of settings involved, depending on what technology you are utilizing. Now, achieving 1075 compliance makes 800-53 look like child’s play. If you handle Federal Tax Information (FTI) and you have to meet these requirements, have you even read Publication 1075? It’s 216 pages long! And, as you drill down into those 216 pages, there are thousands of pages with even more information you need to know and comply with. You have an agency or business to run, and keeping up with, or even understanding the controls is probably more than you want to handle. Don’t worry, there are people out there, like me, who specialize in this type of compliance, so you don’t have to be an expert. But first, let’s unravel the mysteries of IRS 1075.

Things We Do Better
The Top 8 Reasons Why You’ll Want To Work With Us
We SPECIALIZE In Working With Fast-Growth Companies. That means we understand your incredibly hectic and stressful work schedule and WHY it’s critical to remove obstacles, frustrations and technical problems to keep you productive. We understand your desire to eliminate waste, extra steps, work-arounds and manual labor. We also have tech support available 24/7/365 since we know you don’t work the normal “9-5” day, and can help you maintain the freedom to work remote while making sure you meet compliance standards for data security and backups.
We Have The Unique Ability To Address Your IT Needs – From Vision Through Long-Term Support. We assist from vision to design and planning, to product specification through pricing and acquisition, to installation, implementation, documentation and project management, to post-project support of you and/or your users. This allows you to have one consistent team to work with that understands your environment, your people, how you work and your history, which means you don’t have to waste time educating us.
We Have A Team Of Knowledgable Experts On Staff. Unlike other IT firms, who have one or two guys trying to juggle multiple projects and wear various hats, we have a team of engineers on staff with diverse, specialized areas of expertise who work together to deliver the most effective and correct solutions to you. As a client, you are assigned to one of these teams. That means you’ll always be able to get someone on the phone who knows YOU and understands YOUR environment and YOUR systems to provide helpful answers and quick resolutions of problems instead of having to talk to a complete stranger who knows nothing of you or your systems and wastes your time asking a lot of really dumb and annoying questions to try and “help” you.
We Use Our Vendor Relationships To YOUR Advantage. Having an advanced level of partnership with key vendors (Microsoft, VMware, HP and Dell ) allows us access to special pre- and post-project assistance support levels that most “partners” do not have. We are able to provide the right solutions, priced right and validated by the vendor, so if any issues come up, we can get them resolved quickly and effectively.
We Support Both On-Premise, Hosted, Cloud and Hybrid Solutions. Some IT firms won’t offer or recommend cheaper cloud solutions because THEY make less money. Our philosophy is – and always has been – to offer what’s BEST for the customer, not us. That’s how we keep so many customers long-term. We’ll base our recommendations on what YOU need and what YOU feel most comfortable with. Our job is to lay out your options, educate you on the pros and cons of each and guide you to the best, most cost-effective solution for you.
All Projects Are Completed As Agreed On And On Budget. When you hire us to complete a project for you, we won’t nickel-and-dime you with unforeseen or unexpected charges or delays. If you require any changes, they will be made with mutual agreement and prior approval. We guarantee to deliver precisely what we promised to deliver, on time and on budget. We can offer our agreements on a fixed-fee basis so you know exactly what you’re going to pay, not a penny more.
We Have Flexible, Tailored-To-Your-Needs Support Options To Help You Better Manage Your Environment. We provide our customers with a variety of managed support options, ranging from back-end maintenance and monitoring for issues, to user help-desk support with ticketing, to strategy and budget and asset/license life-cycle management. We have successfully provided these services for over 20 years and can create a solution specifically for you and your team.
