Assured Data Protection Launches New US Public Sector Division

Assured Data Protection LLC., a managed services provider (MSP) specializing in cloud data protection, announced the launch of its US Public Sector Division. The division will be led by Patrick Vaughan, founder and CEO of GEN3i, Inc., who brings extensive experience in delivering secure and compliant managed services to government organizations. Established to address the unique requirements of public sector entities, the division will operate in full compliance with federal, state, and local procurement standards and regulatory mandates.Based in Virginia, Vaughan and his team of engineers and sales professionals will provide US based, 24/7/365 support to protect, detect, and recover critical data and operations for Assured’s public sector customers. The division will coordinate with federal, state, and local agencies-including the military, law enforcement, public education, public health, and the defense industrial base (DIB)-to protect mission-critical systems and ensure their recoverability in the face of outages, natural disasters, ransomware, or cyberattacks.

Public sector customers will benefit from a fully managed service spanning design, deployment, recovery, and ongoing support. As a Rubrik managed services provider, Assured delivers trusted technologies that help agencies strengthen cyber resiliency, meet strict compliance requirements, and ensure rapid, reliable recovery of mission-critical systems.

“Patrick has over 25 years experience working in public sector data protection. I couldn’t think of a better person to lead this new Assured division and I’m excited about what we can achieve together. Assured already has a great pedigree in the public sector but this new division represents a step change in our commitment to those organizations that need the most robust Rubrik cyber resilience technology. This new division marks another milestone in the growth and expansion of the business, with Assured adapting to provide the best managed services our customers need,” said Stacy Hayes, CSO, Assured Data Protection. 

“Public sector customers have long trusted Rubrik to secure their data and applications. Attacks on the government and the Defense Industrial Base continue to rise, from nation-state to insider threats, making cyber resilience more critical than ever. As an MSP of Rubrik technology, Assured’s new Public Sector Division is another step forward in protecting the nation’s systems. I’m confident that together, Rubrik and Assured will deliver the secure, compliant services our federal, state, local, and contractor communities need to strengthen their overall cyber posture,” said Brendan MacCarthy, VP, Federal, Rubrik.

“The Public Sector is increasingly prioritizing cybersecurity resilience and recognizing the strategic value of modern consumption models that optimize budget efficiency and operational flexibility. This creates an exciting opportunity for managed service providers to deliver specialized cyber resiliency solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s digital Government landscape. The combination of Patrick’s extensive Federal expertise and Assured’s industry-leading MSP Rubrik service represents an ideal partnership perfectly positioned for this growing market. We’re thrilled to expand our collaboration with Assured’s new Public Sector Division and anticipate tremendous success and growth in this vital sector,” said Craig Abod, founder and owner, Carahsoft Technology Corp.

The Assured US Public Sector Division is fully compliant with the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS), the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
