SOC 2 Aligned
100% U.S.-Based Support
20+ Years Experience

Metro Detroit suppliers answer to GM, Ford and Stellantis questionnaires, TISAX labels for German customers and, for defense work tied to the Detroit Arsenal, CMMC. All of them ask whether controls work every day. Our U.S.-based team keeps them working. Engineering and business machines run EDR, a 24/7 SOC chases down anything suspicious, customer portal logins sit behind MFA and conditional access, plant PCs use application allowlisting, and backups of machine programs get restored on a schedule. Email filtering and monthly scans cover the rest. One set of operating records then answers each customer's audit, whatever framework it uses.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for Southeast Michigan's key industries.

Tiered Automotive Suppliers

OEM supplier portals, CAD and PLM systems and prototype data are what carmakers want protected. We enforce MFA and conditional access on portal and PLM accounts, encrypt engineering laptops, log access to customer data and let the SOC watch for credential theft. TISAX and OEM questionnaire evidence comes from the same monitoring records, filed by framework.

Plant-Floor Networks

Controllers, HMIs and vision systems often run software that can't be patched without the vendor. We segment them from business IT, allowlist the applications they need, disable USB where possible and force vendor support sessions through a remote access gateway that you own. The SOC watches traffic crossing into the plant, and machine programs and recipes are backed up and restore-tested.

TACOM Subcontractors

Shops quoting both carmakers and Detroit Arsenal programs need CUI kept apart from commercial work, then watched. We run the enclave: EDR and patching inside it, SOC review of its audit logs, privileged access granted per task and quarterly access reviews. Your SPRS score stays accurate because drift gets caught and fixed monthly. The commercial side of the shop keeps its own protections, so the enclave stays small.

Lenders and Insurance Agencies

Mortgage lenders near Ally Financial's downtown headquarters fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule, and Michigan insurance agencies follow Chapter 5A of the Insurance Code. Both expect MFA, monitoring and vendor oversight. We enforce MFA on loan and agency systems, alert on mailbox rules that precede wire fraud and train closers to verify payoff instructions by phone.

Detroit FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity services in Detroit, MI.

Our OEM customer asks yearly for cybersecurity evidence. How does managed security help a Troy supplier?

+
Every control we run leaves a dated record: MFA coverage, patch status, vulnerability scans with fix dates, SOC incident summaries, backup tests and training completions. When the questionnaire arrives, we map those records to its questions instead of building answers from scratch. If a German customer also wants TISAX, the same evidence covers most of the information security catalog, and we flag the prototype-handling items that need separate work.

Can you monitor our plant without installing agents on the controllers?

+
Yes. Many controllers and HMIs aren't vendor-approved for endpoint agents, so we watch them at the network level instead. They sit on a separate segment, and traffic crossing between plant and business networks is monitored for anything unusual. Engineering workstations and the PCs that talk to controllers get EDR or application allowlisting where the vendor permits. Any vendor remote session goes through a recorded gateway.

We quote both Ford and TACOM work. Who runs the CUI enclave after it's built?

+
We do. The enclave gets its own EDR policy, patch schedule and continuous SOC log review, because NIST SP 800-171 expects monitoring and response, not just a diagram. Each quarter we confirm the user list still matches who needs access and that no one connected unapproved systems. Each quarterly report lines up against your SSP, so the POA&M stays current and the SPRS score honest.

How do you protect our vision system PCs that can't be patched?

+
We wall them off. Each one goes on a restricted segment with only the connections it needs, internet access blocked, USB ports disabled where possible and application allowlisting so only the inspection software runs. The SOC watches traffic from that segment. We keep a disk image of every PC and back up its configuration and recipes, so if one fails or gets infected the line is back after a restore.

Our Southfield insurance agency is small. What security controls should we run under Chapter 5A?

+
Smaller licensees are exempt from some of Chapter 5A's requirements, so counsel should confirm yours. The practical controls apply regardless: MFA on agency management systems, email and carrier portals, encrypted laptops, EDR, filtered email and tested backups. Monitoring matters because the DIFS notice deadline runs from when you determine an event occurred, so early detection gives you time to investigate properly.
