Raising the Bar for Managed IT Services in St. Louis
At Certified NETS, we believe trust has to be earned — and verified. That’s why we’re proud to share that Certified NETS has achieved achieved the Galactic Advisors Trust Level 1 Certification, confirming that our systems meet the highest security and verification standards for Managed Service Providers.
This milestone recognizes Certified NETS as one of the few St. Louis MSPs operating under advanced security controls that are audited by a third party every 90 days.
What the Galactic Advisors Trust Level 1 Means
Trust Level 1 – Advanced Security Controls focuses on preventing lateral movement inside a network — in other words, stopping cyber-threats from spreading if they ever gain a foothold.
Rather than the old trust-but-verify mindset, Level 1 uses a “verify-then-trust” approach — and sometimes verifies again. Everything and everyone must be authenticated before access is granted.
To earn this certification, Certified NETS demonstrated advanced, continuously monitored security practices in:
- Patching: Keeping systems current to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
- Backups: Ensuring recoverability through secure, tested backup systems.
- Tool Deployment: Maintaining uniform, policy-driven protection across all client environments.
- Identity & Access Management: Controlling and verifying user permissions with zero-trust principles.
Every 90 days, Galactic Advisors independently audits these areas to confirm compliance and effectiveness.

“Certified Nets Inc. is IT with a personal touch and they truly mean it. They manage our network/server remotely; however, they know how pivotal face to face support is too. Mike visits us once a month working with each employee to correct and improve technology items. They also provide prompt remote help which is a simple email or phone call away. Robyn & Cam also visit us quarterly to talk face to face about budgeting, needs vs. wants, cyber security, technology compliance and anything else that may arise. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a small business IT company. Keep up the great work!
