Security & Compliance Solutions That Protect Your Business
Safeguard your business and customer data with proactive security measures and compliance support. Because prevention beats recovery—every time.
Protect What Matters Most
Cybersecurity threats are real, growing, and targeting small businesses. Ransomware, phishing attacks, data breaches, and insider threats can devastate your business—lost data, downtime, reputation damage, and regulatory penalties.
But security doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. We help small businesses implement practical, effective security measures that protect against real-world threats without breaking the budget. From multi-factor authentication to employee training, we create security solutions that actually work for your business.
📦 What's Included in Our Security & Compliance Services
-
Security Assessment & Planning
We start by assessing your current security posture—identifying vulnerabilities, risks, and gaps. Then we create a practical security plan prioritized by risk and budget, focusing on the protections that matter most.
-
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Implement MFA across your critical systems—Microsoft 365, VPNs, cloud applications, and more. MFA is one of the most effective defenses against account compromise and unauthorized access.
-
Endpoint Protection & Antivirus
Deploy and manage enterprise-grade endpoint protection on all computers and devices. Modern antivirus goes beyond signature detection to stop ransomware, malware, and zero-day threats.
-
Email Security
Protect against phishing, spam, malware, and business email compromise with advanced email filtering and security features. Email is the #1 attack vector—we make sure it's locked down.
-
Firewall & Network Security
Implement and manage next-generation firewalls with intrusion prevention, content filtering, and threat intelligence. Your network perimeter is your first line of defense.
-
Security Monitoring & Alerts
Continuous monitoring of security events, suspicious activity, and potential threats. We catch issues early and respond quickly to minimize impact.
-
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated, tested backups of your critical data with secure offsite storage. If ransomware strikes or disaster hits, we can restore your data and get you back in business.
-
Security Policies & Procedures
Document security policies, acceptable use guidelines, incident response procedures, and other security documentation required for compliance and best practices.
-
Employee Security Training
Your employees are your biggest security risk—and your best defense. We provide security awareness training to help your team recognize and avoid phishing, social engineering, and other threats.
-
Compliance Support
Guidance and implementation support for compliance requirements like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and other industry regulations. We help you understand what's required and implement the necessary controls.
-
Vulnerability Assessments
Regular scanning and assessment of your systems to identify security vulnerabilities before attackers find them. We help you prioritize and remediate issues based on risk.
-
Complete Documentation
All security configurations, policies, procedures, and compliance documentation—organized, up to date, and yours to keep.
How Our Security & Compliance Services Work
Step 1: Security Assessment
We assess your current security posture—reviewing systems, configurations, policies, and practices. We identify vulnerabilities, risks, and compliance gaps.
Step 2: Risk Prioritization & Planning
Based on the assessment, we prioritize risks and create a security roadmap. We focus on the highest-impact protections first, balancing security needs with budget realities.
Step 3: Implementation
We implement security controls in phases—MFA, endpoint protection, email security, backups, monitoring, and other protections based on your priorities and timeline.
Step 4: Employee Training
We train your team on security best practices, how to recognize threats, and what to do if something suspicious happens. Security is a team effort.
Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring & Management
Security isn't one-and-done. We continuously monitor for threats, apply security updates, conduct regular assessments, and adapt protections as threats evolve.
Compliance Support We Provide
HIPAA (Healthcare)
If you handle protected health information (PHI), HIPAA compliance is required. We help implement the technical safeguards, policies, and documentation HIPAA demands.
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry)
If you accept credit card payments, PCI-DSS compliance protects cardholder data. We help you implement required security controls and maintain compliance
SOC 2 (Service Organizations)
If you provide services to other businesses, SOC 2 compliance demonstrates your commitment to security. We help you implement the controls needed for SOC 2 certification.
GDPR & Privacy Regulations
If you handle data from EU residents or operate in states with privacy laws (California, Virginia, etc.), we help you implement data protection and privacy controls.
Cyber Insurance Requirements
Many cyber insurance policies require specific security controls (MFA, backups, endpoint protection, etc.). We help you meet those requirements to qualify for coverage.
Industry-Specific Requirements
Other compliance frameworks like CMMC (defense contractors), FERPA (education), or state-specific regulations—we help you understand requirements and implement necessary controls.

FAQ
How do we know if we need compliance services?
If you handle credit cards (PCI-DSS), health information (HIPAA), provide services to other businesses (SOC 2), or operate in regulated industries, you likely have compliance requirements. We'll help you understand what applies to your business.
What's the biggest security risk for small businesses?
Phishing and email-based attacks are the #1 threat. Attackers target employees with convincing emails to steal credentials, deploy ransomware, or trick people into sending money. Employee training and email security are critical.
Do we really need multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Yes. MFA is one of the most effective security controls available. It prevents account compromise even if passwords are stolen. Most cyber insurance policies now require it.
How often should we do security assessments?
We recommend annual security assessments at minimum, with more frequent assessments if you're in a regulated industry or experiencing rapid growth/change.
What happens if we get hit by ransomware?
If you have proper backups and an incident response plan, we can restore your data and get you back in business. Without backups, your options are limited—pay the ransom (not recommended) or lose your data.
Can you help us get cyber insurance?
We can help you implement the security controls most cyber insurance policies require (MFA, backups, endpoint protection, etc.). We don't sell insurance, but we can help you meet the requirements to qualify.
