Under a square mile, nearly 26,000 people, and a main street everyone calls The Avenue.
Cliffside Park is a Bergen County borough of 25,693 people on less than one square mile of land, and its small offices need managed IT services that protect what they send as well as what they store. It was formed in 1895 from part of Ridgefield Township; the Bergen County Clerk keeps the court order that set the incorporation vote for January of that year. The borough’s motto is “Atop the Palisades.” Its main shopping street is Anderson Avenue, which locals call “The Avenue,” and Palisade Avenue runs past Borough Hall. Along both, the commercial zoning mixes storefronts and restaurants with insurance agencies, accountants, doctors’ offices and apartments. Offices like those email client and patient information all day long, which is why our managed IT services include encrypted email wherever it’s needed. VJNetworks has worked across Bergen County since 2004.
About 26,900 people per square mile, and a business district built on small lots.
Most of Cliffside Park is homes and apartment buildings. Its business lives in two small commercial zones along the main avenues.

The borough’s zoning code sets out just two commercial zones. C-1 Service Commercial, on small lots and no more than three stories, lists banks, real estate and insurance agencies, business and professional offices and medical services alongside shops, restaurants and salons, and it allows apartments in the same zone. C-2 General Commercial allows all of that and goes up to four stories. The zoning map adds revitalization overlays on Anderson Avenue and Palisade Avenue and a Towne Centre Redevelopment Area. Nearly everything else is residential, including the high-rise towers the R-5 district allows up to 25 stories. Picture a four-person insurance agency above a bakery, an accounting office between a pharmacy and a pizzeria, a family practice with a small front desk. Each of them emails something private before lunch.
What small offices usually want fixed first.
Two problems we see in small offices like these. Both are about what leaves the building.
Sensitive files sent like any other email
Tax documents, policy applications with Social Security numbers, lab results, signed forms. In plenty of small offices they go out as ordinary attachments, because that’s how email has always worked. Nobody means to be careless. There just isn’t a simpler secure option set up, so staff use whatever is in front of them.
Vendors and partners on different systems
An agency trades files with carriers. A practice exchanges records with labs and billing services. An accounting office swaps documents with clients who use every email provider there is. Each of those connections is its own small security decision, and in many small offices nobody has made it yet.
VJNetworks sits in between. Big enough to manage your IT. Small enough to care.
Encrypted email for Cliffside Park offices that handle other people’s information.
Mike Stoveken, Vice President of VJNetworks, says insurance brokerages “were also the first ones who needed encrypted email.” Any office that sends policy, tax or patient information has the same need. Here is what we set up.
Encrypted send, in your own email
We turn on encryption in your email system, adding the licence it needs if your current plan doesn’t include it, so staff can protect a message without learning a new program, and the person receiving it gets a secure way to open it.
Encrypted links to your vendors
When patient information is involved, Mike’s advice is plain: “you have to use encrypted email, and we build encrypted transports between our customers and the IT departments of their vendors and companies that they deal with.”
Staff who know when to use it
A tool nobody uses protects nothing. We show your team which messages need it, set rules that catch the obvious cases where your Microsoft 365 licence supports them, and keep the setup working as people join and leave.
That’s the section of the HIPAA Security Rule that covers transmission security. It calls for measures “to guard against unauthorized access to electronic protected health information that is being transmitted over an electronic communications network,” and it lists encryption as an “addressable” specification. Read it at 45 CFR 164.312. We implement the technical controls. We don’t audit or certify anyone.

Off Anderson Avenue or up on Palisade Avenue, the same people answer in Cliffside Park.
Encrypted email is one piece of the plan we run. The same team handles your network, security, Microsoft 365, server backups and the help desk. Before the first invoice we document what you have, including who sends sensitive information, to whom, and how. A new hire starts with encryption already available in their mailbox and learns how to use it on day one. Managed IT plans start at $995 a month, and licences are billed separately.
