Part of our nationwide cybersecurity incident response practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
When an attacker gets into a Cleveland 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 Northeast Ohio. Most of the cases we handle are compromised Microsoft 365 / Office 365 or Google Workspace accounts, business email compromise and ransomware, for organizations in healthcare practices & research partners, manufacturing & industrial suppliers, aerospace & defense supply chain, insurance, banking & financial services and law firms & professional services. Ohio’s breach notification statute, Ohio Rev. Code § 1349.19, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. We cover Downtown Cleveland, University Circle, Ohio City, Lakewood, Westlake and Beachwood and the rest of the Northeast Ohio area.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity incident response tailored for Cleveland 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 Northeast Ohio's key industries.
Healthcare Practices & Research Partners
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.
Manufacturing & Industrial Suppliers
In industrial environments, containment cannot mean pulling every plug. We isolate the business network from the control network first, confirm whether the attacker reached OT systems, and work with your operations team so safety and production decisions stay with the people who own them.
Aerospace & Defense Supply Chain
Defense contractors carry a reporting clock most businesses do not: DFARS 252.204-7012 requires cyber incidents affecting covered defense information to be reported to the DoD within 72 hours of discovery, with images preserved for 90 days. We run containment with that clock and the evidence requirements in mind.
Insurance, Banking & Financial Services
Financial firms are a favorite target for business email compromise because a single altered wire instruction pays well. We move fast on bank recall, find every forwarding rule and OAuth grant the attacker planted, and preserve the evidence your regulator or carrier will ask for. Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, covered firms must also report qualifying incidents to the FTC.
Law Firms & Professional Services
When a firm mailbox is compromised, the urgent questions are which client matters were exposed and whether anyone redirected a settlement or closing payment. We answer the first from the audit logs and help you act on the second with the bank, while preserving what counsel needs for client notifications.
