Part of our nationwide cybersecurity services practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
Chicago businesses carry a risk most states don't impose: Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act, which lets individuals sue over how fingerprint and face data is handled. That puts fingerprint time clocks in plants, warehouses and clinics on the security list, not just HR's. We handle the technical half alongside your counsel and run the rest of a managed program: EDR with a 24/7 SOC, phishing-resistant MFA and privileged access management for anyone who can move money, email filtering, vulnerability scans and restore tests. From the Loop to Schaumburg and Naperville, our U.S.-based engineers work your Central Time hours.

Industries We Serve
Specialized expertise for Chicagoland's key industries.
Trading Firms and Asset Managers
A handful of people at a prop shop, fund manager or RIA can move serious money. We put privileged access management around trading accounts, prime broker portals and wire systems, require security keys for anyone with payment or permission rights, separate admin accounts from daily ones and log every privileged session. The SOC alerts on unusual sign-ins to those systems, and access gets reviewed monthly with your operations lead.
Food Processing Plants
Plants with fingerprint time clocks and FSMA traceability records need both protected. We keep biometric templates on segmented systems with restricted admin access and logging, check with your counsel that retention settings match your published policy, separate production from business IT and back up lot-tracking data immutably, so a ransomware hit doesn't erase the records a recall or FDA inquiry would need.
Freight and Distribution
Brokers, 3PLs and warehouses near O'Hare and along I-55 and I-80 lose loads, not just data, when credentials get stolen. We protect TMS, load-board, EDI and carrier portal accounts with MFA, alert on remit-to changes and lookalike domains, segment warehouse scanners from the business network and keep EDR on dispatch PCs. Shippers who ask about your security get a current, specific answer.
Practices and Health Tech
Specialty practices and health tech companies near Chicago's academic health systems handle PHI and answer vendor reviews. We enforce MFA with conditional access on the EHR and email, keep EDR on clinical PCs, alert on mailbox forwarding rules and sign BAAs. Clinics using fingerprint sign-in get the same biometric data controls as plants. Scheduling and EHR backups get restored on a calendar, not just reported green.
Law Firms
Chicago's large legal community handles settlement funds and privileged files that draw wire fraud and mailbox takeovers. We screen inbound mail for impersonation and changed-instruction requests, enforce phishing-resistant MFA on email and document management, alert when inbox rules or external sharing appear and review matter-level permissions every quarter. Attorneys and staff rehearse call-back verification so altered instructions get caught before money moves.
