SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

When an attacker gets into a Galveston 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 Gulf Coast / Galveston County. 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 & utmb-adjacent, maritime & port operations and petrochemical & refining. Texas’s breach notification statute, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. We cover Texas City, La Marque, Hitchcock, Bolivar Peninsula, Tiki Island and Jamaica Beach and the rest of the Gulf Coast / Galveston County area.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity incident response tailored for Galveston 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 Gulf Coast / Galveston County's key industries.

Healthcare & UTMB-Adjacent

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.

Maritime & Port Operations

Freight and distribution firms see a lot of payment-redirection fraud, where an attacker inside a mailbox changes remittance details on a real invoice thread. We find the compromised account, the rules hiding the replies and the customers who were contacted, and help you get ahead of it with those customers.

Petrochemical & Refining

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.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Galveston

We provide cybersecurity incident response 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.

For Galveston businesses, incident response is delivered remotely by U.S.-based engineers, which is why it can start as soon as we have admin access rather than when a technician arrives.

For ransomware we isolate affected machines without destroying evidence, verify backups before restoring and rebuild from known-good images. Where hands-on work is needed, we coordinate it as part of the response.

Galveston FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity incident response in Galveston, TX.

Someone is in our Microsoft 365 / Office 365 mailbox. What should a Galveston business do first?

+
Call us, and do not delete the account. A password reset alone does not remove inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, an extra MFA method the attacker registered, or live session tokens. We revoke sessions, remove each of those, export the audit logs before they age out, and check which other accounts and contacts the attacker reached.

Do you handle Google Workspace incidents for Galveston companies?

+
Yes. Google Workspace takeovers follow the same pattern with different mechanics: Gmail filters and forwarding addresses, third-party app grants, Drive files shared outside the domain and admin changes. We contain, clean up and preserve the admin and Drive audit logs.

What does Texas law require after a data breach?

+
Texas’s breach notification law is Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053. Affected individuals must be notified without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after determining the breach occurred. Regulator notice: Attorney General if 250+ Texas residents, as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days after determining the breach, via the AG's online data security breach report form (SB 768, 2023). Also worth knowing: AG posts breach reports publicly; credit reporting agencies notified if 10,000+ people; notice duty extends to residents of other states. Federal and industry rules, such as HIPAA, can add their own deadlines. We provide the technical scoping of what was accessed and whose data it was; whether and when to notify is a decision to make with your attorney.

Can you respond without being on site in Galveston?

+
Yes. Cloud tenant incidents are handled entirely remotely, and most endpoint containment is too. Where a machine needs hands-on work, we coordinate it locally as part of the response so nobody on your team is managing an unknown contractor.

Will you work with our cyber insurance carrier?

+
Yes. If you have a policy, call the carrier’s claims hotline first, since many policies require approved vendors. We work alongside the breach coach and forensic firm they assign, or run containment and cleanup directly when no carrier is involved.

Is emergency response available after hours?

+
Yes, for active incidents such as ransomware, an ongoing account takeover or a wire fraud in progress. Our automated monitoring runs 24/7 for managed clients; non-emergency follow-up happens during business hours.
