Managed IT services for Chicago and Chicagoland (Naperville, Evanston, Schaumburg, Oak Brook) — delivered remotely by Amen Security. Chicagoland mixes finance and trading, manufacturing and distribution, healthcare and a deep bench of law and accounting firms.
Manufacturers and distributors run older plant-floor systems next to Microsoft 365, and professional firms face client audits of their security controls.
Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) makes fingerprint time clocks and face-based access a real legal exposure, on top of client and insurer security requirements. We document controls against it as part of the service.

Frequently asked questions
We use fingerprint time clocks — does BIPA affect our IT?
It can. We inventory where biometric data is collected and stored, tighten access and retention, and flag consent and policy questions for your legal counsel — we do not give legal advice.
Do you have an office in Chicago?
No. We serve Chicago and Chicagoland remotely from our Canadian team, with on-site visits scoped in the contract when hardware needs hands.
How much does managed IT cost?
The assessment is free; you then get written per-seat pricing and scope you can compare line by line with any local quote.
