Security assessments, cloud tenant hardening and compliance roadmaps. Serving Greater Austin Area with local expertise and enterprise capabilities.
Part of our Texas-wide cybersecurity consulting practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
Austin businesses in technology & startups, healthcare, professional services and education face the same pattern we see across the country: most incidents start with a stolen password or a phished Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace session, and the damage depends on settings nobody reviewed. Our cybersecurity consulting starts with those settings, then works outward to endpoints, backups, vendors and the regulations your industry carries. Texas’s breach notification statute, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Austin organizations across Greater Austin Area, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander and San Marcos, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Austin businesses
Security Risk Assessment
A structured review of identity, email, endpoints, backups and vendors against NIST CSF 2.0 or the CIS Controls, with findings ranked by business impact.
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Hardening
MFA methods, conditional access, legacy authentication, admin roles, app consent, external sharing and mail forwarding, reviewed and fixed.
Compliance Roadmaps
HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, PCI DSS 4.0, CMMC 2.0 and state privacy law gaps mapped to a realistic order of work.
Cyber Insurance Readiness
Truthful answers to underwriting questions on MFA, EDR, backups and privileged access, and the gaps closed before renewal.
Incident Response Planning
A written plan naming who decides and who calls the insurer and bank, rehearsed in a tabletop exercise.
Virtual CISO Guidance
Quarterly risk reviews, policy ownership, vendor security reviews and owner reporting without a full-time executive.
Industries We Serve
Specialized expertise for Greater Austin Area's key industries.
Technology & Startups
Software and technology companies usually come to us with a deadline: a customer security review or a first SOC 2 report. We build SOC 2 aligned controls across Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, cloud accounts and laptops, and assemble the evidence trail before an auditor or customer asks for it.
Healthcare
The HIPAA Security Rule expects a documented risk analysis, and it is the document most practices cannot produce when asked. We run that analysis, then fix what it finds: MFA on email and the EHR portal, encrypted laptops, tested backups, and business associate agreements with the vendors who actually touch patient data.
Professional Services
Professional and service firms rarely have a security person on staff, and the risk concentrates in email, file sharing and the owner’s laptop. We start with the controls that stop most incidents, MFA, mail security, endpoint protection and tested backups, and build from there at a pace the business can absorb.
Education
Schools, colleges and research groups balance open networks with student records under FERPA, research data under sponsor requirements, and constant phishing aimed at staff. We focus on identity, email security and segmentation that protects records without breaking how teaching and research actually work.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Austin
We provide cybersecurity consulting throughout Greater Austin Area.
Round Rock
Round Rock anchors the IH-35 tech corridor, and the mix of corporate campuses, youth sports tourism, and retail means uptime matters Monday through weekend tournaments.
Cedar Park
Along the 183A corridor, Cedar Park stacks medical offices, light manufacturing, and arena-driven retail together, so networks there handle both clinical records and busy point-of-sale nights.
Georgetown
As the Williamson County seat, Georgetown pairs courthouse-square law and title firms with Southwestern University and a large retirement community, all needing document security and dependable remote access.
Pflugerville
Pflugerville's warehouse and distribution growth toward SH 130 calls for scanner-ready wireless, high-bay cabling, and dependable links between the dock floor and the front office.
Leander
Sitting at the end of the Capital MetroRail line, Leander runs on new construction, so builders, realtors, and trades offices need mobile-first setups their field crews actually use.
Lakeway
Lake Travis shapes everything in Lakeway, from marina and resort operations to small medical and financial practices tucked into hills where reliable connectivity is never a given.
Bee Cave
Retail and professional suites around the Hill Country Galleria give Bee Cave a compact commercial core where card processing, guest wireless, and automated monitoring all have to hold up.
Dripping Springs
Wedding venues, breweries, and distilleries spread across acreage make Dripping Springs a place where point-of-sale, event wireless, and rural bandwidth planning matter more than office wiring.
Kyle
Healthcare and rooftop growth define Kyle, where clinics and dental offices along the IH-35 frontage need HIPAA-minded backups and patient records that load without a wait.
Buda
Buda has grown from a small IH-35 stop into a mix of Main Street shops and distribution space, a combination that demands storefront POS and warehouse coverage alike.
Manor
Farmland east of Austin is turning into subdivisions and logistics yards fast, and Manor businesses often need connectivity engineered in before the fiber or the buildings catch up.
Hutto
Between the revived Co-Op District downtown and the industrial parks near SH 130, Hutto blends small-business storefronts with production floors that cannot afford unplanned downtime.
Taylor
Taylor's semiconductor buildout along US-79 has drawn manufacturing suppliers in beside historic Main Street storefronts, so we cover plant-floor networking and downtown retail POS alike.
Liberty Hill
Ranchland along SH-29 keeps turning into subdivisions here, and the builders, trades contractors, and school-district offices behind that growth need field-ready connectivity plus cabling for brand-new buildings.
Westlake Hills
Perched on hills west of Lady Bird Lake, Westlake Hills runs on wealth management, law, and medical practices along Bee Cave Road, where client confidentiality demands tight data controls.
