Part of our nationwide cybersecurity consulting practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
Buffalo businesses in healthcare, cancer research & life sciences, aerospace, defense & advanced manufacturing, banking, credit unions & insurance, cross-border trade, logistics & distribution and education, nonprofits & 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. New York’s breach notification statute, N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 899-aa, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Buffalo organizations across Western New York, including Downtown Buffalo, Elmwood Village, Allentown, Larkinville, Amherst and Williamsville, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Buffalo 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 Western New York's key industries.
Healthcare, Cancer Research & 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.
Aerospace, Defense & Advanced Manufacturing
Suppliers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information inherit DFARS 7012, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0. The first decision is scope: an enclave that keeps CUI in a small, well-controlled environment usually costs far less than bringing the whole company into assessment. We design that scope, then build the System Security Plan and POA&M.
Banking, Credit Unions & Insurance
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.
Cross-Border Trade, Logistics & Distribution
Carriers, warehouses and distributors depend on a web of portals, EDI connections and customer systems, so a single stolen login can stop shipments. We review identity and vendor access, segment warehouse and scanner networks, and make sure backups can bring dispatch and inventory systems back quickly.
Education, Nonprofits & Professional Services
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.
