Executive Summary

Christos Liapakis founded Cipher Systems, Inc. in March 2004 and has run it since. The company is a small, independent IT services and computer systems business at 2865 Rockaway Avenue in Oceanside, New York, on the south shore of Long Island. It is incorporated in New York State, is classified by the Better Business Bureau under Computer System Designers and by trade directories under computer and peripheral equipment and software wholesaling, and operates with roughly two people from a single location on annual revenue in the region of $162,000. It sells and supports computer equipment and software and provides IT services to households and small businesses in its area. That is the whole of what the public record establishes: there are no interviews, no press coverage, no funding announcements and no speaking appearances associated with this person. The substantive finding of this review is a negative one — that the previous version of this profile described a completely different company — and it is documented in full in the verification notes.

Professional Journey

The public record on Christos Liapakis is confined to business-directory and registry data, and this section reflects that rather than filling the gap with inference.

Cipher Systems, Inc. began trading on 1 March 2004, incorporated in New York State and based at 2865 Rockaway Avenue in Oceanside, a village in Nassau County on the south shore of Long Island. Liapakis is recorded as the company’s founder and principal contact, with the title President in Better Business Bureau records. The business is categorised as Computer System Designers by the BBB and under NAICS 423430 — computer and computer peripheral equipment and software merchant wholesalers — by trade directories, a combination that in practice describes a local IT shop that both resells hardware and software and configures and supports it.

It has stayed small and stayed put. Directory data records roughly two employees at the single location and annual revenue of approximately $162,000, with the same telephone number, (516) 320-6828, appearing across listings compiled at different times. The company describes its purpose in plain terms on its own site, as bringing homes and businesses well into the 21st century. Its BBB record shows an A+ rating and no complaints closed in the preceding three years, though it has not sought BBB accreditation.

No earlier employment, no other ventures and no professional affiliations could be established for Liapakis from any source. Reviewers should be particularly careful here, because several substantially larger companies share versions of the name — a competitive-intelligence software firm in Annapolis, a defence software contractor, and a managed security services provider — and profile aggregators have repeatedly attached their details to this person in error.

Education

No education could be established for Christos Liapakis from any usable source. Contact-data aggregators record a Computer Science degree from Hofstra University between 2001 and 2004, but that information is characteristically derived from LinkedIn, which is not an accepted source for this project, and it is uncorroborated elsewhere. It is therefore not asserted.
