SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

Charlotte businesses in banking vendors, fintech & third-party risk, healthcare & specialty practices, manufacturing, energy suppliers & distribution and motorsports teams & engineering suppliers 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. North Carolina’s breach notification statute, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-65, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Charlotte organizations across Charlotte Metro, including Uptown, South End, SouthPark, Ballantyne, University City and Huntersville, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Charlotte 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 Charlotte Metro's key industries.

Banking Vendors, Fintech & Third-Party Risk

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.

Healthcare & Specialty Practices

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.

Manufacturing, Energy Suppliers & Distribution

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.

Motorsports Teams & Engineering Suppliers

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.

Charlotte FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in Charlotte, NC.

What does a cybersecurity consulting engagement look like for a Charlotte 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 Charlotte small and mid-sized businesses have a report within a few weeks of kickoff.

Which regulations should Charlotte banking vendors, fintech & third-party risk organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in Charlotte Metro, that usually means the FTC Safeguards Rule and GLBA, the HIPAA Security Rule, OT security expectations such as IEC 62443 and customer and partner security requirements, plus North Carolina’s data breach notification law (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-65). 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 Charlotte. 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.
