Part of our Texas-wide cybersecurity consulting practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
Galveston businesses in healthcare & utmb-adjacent, maritime & port operations and petrochemical & refining 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 Galveston organizations across Gulf Coast / Galveston County, including Texas City, La Marque, Hitchcock, Bolivar Peninsula, Tiki Island and Jamaica Beach, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Galveston 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 Gulf Coast / Galveston County's key industries.
Healthcare & UTMB-Adjacent
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.
Maritime & Port Operations
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.
Petrochemical & Refining
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.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Galveston
We provide cybersecurity consulting throughout Gulf Coast / Galveston County.
Texas City
Refineries and petrochemical plants along the ship channel set the pace here, where contractors and safety vendors need hardened networks and audited access to industrial systems.
La Marque
Sitting between the I-45 corridor and the bay, this working community of trade shops, clinics and schools relies on steady connectivity and straightforward backup for records.
Hitchcock
Rural stretches and airfield-adjacent industrial parcels mean spotty coverage in places, so warehouses and service outfits benefit from surveyed wireless and reliable point-to-point links.
Bolivar Peninsula
Reached only by the Galveston ferry, Crystal Beach rentals, bait shops and beachfront eateries need card processing that keeps working when the causeway backs up and storms roll in.
Tiki Island
This canal-lined village of stilted waterfront homes and boat slips runs on small offices and property managers who want secure remote access rather than a server closet.
Jamaica Beach
Vacation rentals dominate the West End here, so keyed entry systems, guest Wi-Fi and property management portals have to run unattended between turnovers.
Bayou Vista
Nearly every lot in Bayou Vista fronts a canal off Highland Bayou, so marine contractors, dock builders and rental managers here need cloud systems reachable from the water.
Crystal Beach
Weekend crowds fill Crystal Beach rental houses and the Highway 87 restaurants and bait shops, so we keep POS terminals, booking platforms and storm-season backups running remotely.
Port Bolivar
Cattle pastures, charter boat crews and the ferry landing beneath Bolivar Lighthouse share this end of the peninsula, where field staff need mobile access and dependable offsite backup.
