Phoenix, Arizona
Managed IT & Cybersecurity in Phoenix, AZ
National support for Phoenix-area organizations, with onsite help scheduled when it is needed.
NorthStar Technology Group provides managed IT and cybersecurity for organizations in the Phoenix area. We are headquartered in Fargo, ND, and support clients through a national team. Most work is handled remotely, including help desk support, security monitoring, and cloud administration. When hands-on work is required, we dispatch vetted local technicians through a national partner network and stay accountable for the outcome. Phoenix-area healthcare practices, defense contractors, financial firms, and law firms can use the same services we deliver nationwide, with attention to Arizona's data breach notification rules.
How we support Phoenix-area clients
You work with one NorthStar team. Location does not change the services, the response model, or who is accountable for the result.
National remote support
Live help desk support, 24/7 monitoring for critical issues, security operations, and most troubleshooting are handled remotely. Remote work resolves the vast majority of tickets, so day-to-day support does not depend on a Phoenix office.
Fargo headquarters
NorthStar is headquartered at 3523 45th St S, Suite 100, Fargo, ND 58104. That is our registered and mailing address, and it is where we keep equipment and meet clients. It is the only street address we list.
Onsite help when it is needed
When hands-on work is required at a Phoenix-area location, we dispatch vetted local technicians through a national partner network. We screen those partners, coordinate the visit, supervise the work, and document what happened. You still have one point of contact.
The same service catalog
Phoenix-area clients use the same cybersecurity, vCISO, vCIO, help desk, backup, network, cloud, and AI advisory services we provide nationwide. Start with the pages below, or run a free Security and AI Readiness Check.
Arizona's data breach notification law
Organizations that conduct business in Arizona and handle computerized personal information of residents are subject to the state's data breach notification law, A.R.S. sections 18-551 and 18-552.
The law generally requires a covered business to investigate a security incident and, if a breach is confirmed, notify affected individuals within 45 days after that determination. When a breach requires notification of more than 1,000 people, notice must also go to the three largest nationwide consumer reporting agencies, the Arizona Attorney General, and the director of the Arizona Department of Homeland Security.
Personal information under the statute includes an individual's name together with data such as a Social Security or driver's license number, a taxpayer identification number, or medical information. It also includes a username or email address combined with a password that allows access to an online account. Some healthcare and financial organizations follow federal notification rules under HIPAA or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act instead of this state statute.
This is general information about the law, not legal advice. Your organization remains responsible for its own compliance program. We help you implement and document the security controls, monitoring, backups, and incident response plan that program depends on.
Investigate the incident
If a covered business becomes aware of a security incident, Arizona law requires an investigation to determine whether a security system breach has occurred.
Notify within 45 days
If a breach is confirmed, affected individuals generally must be notified within 45 days after that determination, subject to law-enforcement needs.
Additional notices above 1,000 people
When notification involves more than 1,000 people, the law also requires notice to the major consumer reporting agencies, the Attorney General, and the Arizona Department of Homeland Security.
