TINLEY PARK, IL / ACCESS Newswire / November 2, 2026 / Proven IT announced today a partnership with Atom Cybersecurity, a standalone CMMC-compliant cybersecurity firm, established as part of a strategic realignment of the company’s service offerings. While Proven IT will continue providing industry-leading IT, print, physical security, and business automation solutions, Atom Cybersecurity will serve as a dedicated cybersecurity partner, continuing to help organizations strengthen their security posture, manage evolving threats, and meet increasingly complex compliance requirements.
Headquartered at 18630 81st Avenue in Tinley Park, Illinois, Atom Cybersecurity was born from Proven IT’s established cybersecurity practice and represents a strategic investment in the future of cybersecurity services and support.
“This isn’t about stepping away from cybersecurity. It’s about giving it room to grow,” said Emir Husic, CTO at Proven IT.
As cyber threats continue to evolve in sophistication and regulatory requirements become increasingly demanding, organizations require more than traditional security tools. They need a dedicated cybersecurity partner focused solely on protecting their business, safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining compliance, and building long-term resilience.
“Creating a dedicated cybersecurity organization allows us to invest more deeply in specialized talent, advanced security technologies, threat intelligence, compliance expertise, and security-focused innovation. Most importantly, clients won’t need to navigate a handoff,” said Mike Engels, President at Atom Cybersecurity. “We’ve built this partnership specifically so that support feels continuous, even as we operate as separate companies with separate specialties.”
