Ho-Chunk, Inc. Case Study on C1 Technology

This case study details the collaboration between Ho-Chunk, Inc. and C1 Technology, focusing on the implementation of cybersecurity measures and IT infrastructure for Ho-Chunk's government contracting and gaming operations. Established in 1994, Ho-Chunk, Inc. aimed to be the first casino to open in Nebraska following the legalization of casino gambling.

C1 Technology provided expertise through its Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service, assisting Ho-Chunk, Inc. in navigating complex cybersecurity requirements and ensuring compliance. The partnership resulted in a perfect track record of no outages in operations and successful fulfillment of regulatory needs, enabling Ho-Chunk, Inc. to expand its casino operations and maintain its government contracts, which are vital for its revenue.
