Launching a website is an exciting and necessary move for most organizations. In today’s digital world, the public expects companies and public agencies to have an online presence. But building and maintaining a website opens up the possibility of cyberattacks, ransomware, malware, and network outages.

People who visit your website seek information or need products or services. The design elements on your website determine if these visitors do what you want them to.

If you’re building a website for the U.S. Government, you may be tasked with making “single sign on” (SSO) work with the U.S. Government "Personal Identity Verification" (PIV) Credential cards. PIV cards are used government-wide to control access to Federally Controlled Facilities and information systems at the appropriate security level. Common Access Cards or “CACs ” are a specific subset of PIV cards used by the U.S. Department of Defense.  

Companies spend millions of dollars on collecting and analyzing data with many different analytics tools.  However, when it comes to actually using that data in actionable ways, they are not always successful.
