SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

When an attacker gets into a Austin company’s email, files or servers, the first hours decide how much it costs. Our incident response work is delivered remotely by U.S.-based engineers, so containment can start as soon as we have admin access, without waiting on a drive across Greater Austin Area. Most of the cases we handle are compromised Microsoft 365 / Office 365 or Google Workspace accounts, business email compromise and ransomware, for organizations in technology & startups, healthcare, professional services and education. Texas’s breach notification statute, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. We cover Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander and San Marcos and the rest of the Greater Austin Area area.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity incident response tailored for Austin businesses

Microsoft 365 / Office 365 Compromise

Hidden inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, attacker MFA methods and live sessions found and removed across the tenant.

Google Workspace Compromise

Gmail filters and forwarding, third-party app grants, outside Drive sharing and admin changes cleaned up, audit logs preserved.

Business Email Compromise

Bank recall support, scoping of what the attacker read and sent, and evidence for IC3 and your insurer.

Ransomware Containment

Isolate without destroying evidence, find the entry point, verify backups before restoring, rebuild clean.

Forensic Scoping

Audit, sign-in and endpoint logs preserved early to answer what data was accessed and whose.

Hardening After the Incident

Phishing-resistant MFA, conditional access and alerting in place before the case closes.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for Greater Austin Area's key industries.

Technology & Startups

For technology companies the worry after an account takeover is customer data and source code. We check cloud tenant and code repository access, revoke tokens and keys the attacker could reuse, and give you a clear account to share with customers who ask.

Healthcare

A compromised mailbox at a practice is rarely just an email problem, because referral letters, lab results and insurance forms sit in it. We scope exactly which messages the attacker could read so your privacy officer can run the HIPAA breach risk assessment on facts instead of assumptions.

Professional Services

Most incidents at professional service firms start in a mailbox. We revoke the attacker’s access, remove rules and app grants, scope which clients were emailed from the account, and help you decide who needs to hear from you.

Education

Education environments see a steady stream of account takeovers used to send phishing from trusted addresses. We contain the accounts, remove the mail rules and app grants, and scope whether student records or research data were reached.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Austin

We provide cybersecurity incident response 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.

For Austin businesses, incident response is delivered remotely by U.S.-based engineers, which is why it can start as soon as we have admin access rather than when a technician arrives.

For ransomware we isolate affected machines without destroying evidence, verify backups before restoring and rebuild from known-good images. Where hands-on work is needed, we coordinate it as part of the response.

Austin FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity incident response in Austin, TX.

Someone is in our Microsoft 365 / Office 365 mailbox. What should a Austin business do first?

+
Call us, and do not delete the account. A password reset alone does not remove inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, an extra MFA method the attacker registered, or live session tokens. We revoke sessions, remove each of those, export the audit logs before they age out, and check which other accounts and contacts the attacker reached.

Do you handle Google Workspace incidents for Austin companies?

+
Yes. Google Workspace takeovers follow the same pattern with different mechanics: Gmail filters and forwarding addresses, third-party app grants, Drive files shared outside the domain and admin changes. We contain, clean up and preserve the admin and Drive audit logs.

What does Texas law require after a data breach?

+
Texas’s breach notification law is Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053. Affected individuals must be notified without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after determining the breach occurred. Regulator notice: Attorney General if 250+ Texas residents, as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days after determining the breach, via the AG's online data security breach report form (SB 768, 2023). Also worth knowing: AG posts breach reports publicly; credit reporting agencies notified if 10,000+ people; notice duty extends to residents of other states. Federal and industry rules, such as HIPAA, can add their own deadlines. We provide the technical scoping of what was accessed and whose data it was; whether and when to notify is a decision to make with your attorney.

Can you respond without being on site in Austin?

+
Yes. Cloud tenant incidents are handled entirely remotely, and most endpoint containment is too. Where a machine needs hands-on work, we coordinate it locally as part of the response so nobody on your team is managing an unknown contractor.

Will you work with our cyber insurance carrier?

+
Yes. If you have a policy, call the carrier’s claims hotline first, since many policies require approved vendors. We work alongside the breach coach and forensic firm they assign, or run containment and cleanup directly when no carrier is involved.

Is emergency response available after hours?

+
Yes, for active incidents such as ransomware, an ongoing account takeover or a wire fraud in progress. Our automated monitoring runs 24/7 for managed clients; non-emergency follow-up happens during business hours.
