SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

Denton businesses in higher education, research & university-adjacent vendors, healthcare, clinics & specialty practices, advanced manufacturing, aerospace & the defense supply chain and logistics, distribution & warehousing on the i-35 corridor 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. Texas’s breach notification statute, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Denton organizations across Denton County, including Denton, Corinth, Lake Dallas, Highland Village, Argyle and Sanger, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Denton 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 Denton County's key industries.

Higher Education, Research & University-Adjacent Vendors

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.

Healthcare, Clinics & 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.

Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace & the Defense Supply Chain

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.

Logistics, Distribution & Warehousing on the I-35 Corridor

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.

Denton FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in Denton, TX.

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

Which regulations should Denton higher education, research & university-adjacent vendors organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in Denton County, that usually means FERPA and research sponsor requirements, the HIPAA Security Rule, DFARS 7012, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 and customer and partner security requirements, plus Texas’s data breach notification law (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053). 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.

Does Texas’s privacy law apply to my business?

+
Possibly. Texas has a comprehensive consumer privacy law, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA). Whether it applies depends on its thresholds and exemptions, which turn on how much personal data you process and what kind. A consulting engagement maps which of your systems hold that data and what the law would expect of them, so your counsel can make the applicability call on accurate facts.

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 Denton. 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.
