SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

Baton Rouge businesses in petrochemical, refining & industrial operations, state government, public sector & civic contractors, healthcare & life sciences, higher education & research and banking, insurance & professional services 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. Louisiana’s breach notification statute, La. Rev. Stat. § 51:3074; La. Admin. Code tit. 16, pt. III, § 701, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Baton Rouge organizations across East Baton Rouge Parish, including Zachary, Baker, Central, Denham Springs, Gonzales and Prairieville, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Baton Rouge 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 East Baton Rouge Parish's key industries.

Petrochemical, Refining & Industrial Operations

Plants, refineries and energy operators run control systems that were never meant to touch the internet, and the risk usually lives at the boundary between office IT and OT. We map that boundary, segment it, lock down vendor remote access, and align controls to IEC 62443 or NIST guidance where your customers or insurers expect it.

State Government, Public Sector & Civic Contractors

Public agencies and the contractors who serve them answer to procurement security requirements, records retention rules and public scrutiny after an incident. We assess against NIST CSF 2.0, close identity and backup gaps first, and document the controls in language a council or board can follow.

Healthcare & Life Sciences

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.

Higher Education & Research

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.

Banking, Insurance & Professional Services

Lenders, advisors, accountants and insurers fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule or GLBA, which require a qualified individual, a written information security program, MFA, encryption and annual reporting to the board or owner. We build that program in a form an examiner or auditor recognizes.

Baton Rouge FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in Baton Rouge, LA.

What does a cybersecurity consulting engagement look like for a Baton Rouge business?

+
It starts with a scoping call about what you need to protect and what deadline is driving the work, such as an insurance renewal, an audit or a customer questionnaire. We then review your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, endpoints, backups, network and key vendors with read-only access, talk with the people who run the business, and deliver a written report that ranks findings by likelihood and impact. Most Baton Rouge small and mid-sized businesses have a report within a few weeks of kickoff.

Which regulations should Baton Rouge petrochemical, refining & industrial operations organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in East Baton Rouge Parish, that usually means OT security expectations such as IEC 62443, state records and procurement security requirements, the HIPAA Security Rule, FERPA and research sponsor requirements and the FTC Safeguards Rule and GLBA, plus Louisiana’s data breach notification law (La. Rev. Stat. § 51:3074; La. Admin. Code tit. 16, pt. III, § 701). Cyber insurance applications add their own control requirements on top. We map which of these actually apply to you and what each expects, rather than handing you a generic checklist.

Can a consultant help with our cyber insurance renewal?

+
Yes. Underwriters ask about MFA, endpoint detection, offline backups, privileged access and training. We help you answer accurately and close the gaps that most affect coverage and premiums before the renewal date.

Can you review our Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace security remotely?

+
Yes, and it is often the most valuable part of the engagement. We check MFA enforcement and methods, admin roles, conditional access, legacy authentication, app consent, external sharing, mail forwarding and audit log retention, all with read-only access to start.

We already have an IT provider in Baton Rouge. Can you still help?

+
Yes. An independent review before a renewal, an audit or a large customer’s security questionnaire is one of the most common reasons we are hired. We share findings with your provider and stay focused on the gaps.

Do you implement the recommendations or just write them?

+
Either. Some clients hand the roadmap to their internal team or current provider; others have us do the work in priority order. The report is written so that anyone competent could pick it up.
