Part of our nationwide cybersecurity consulting practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
Las Cruces businesses in higher education, research & spin-outs, agriculture, food processing & cold chain, defense, aerospace & federal subcontracting, healthcare & behavioral health and cross-border logistics & light manufacturing 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. New Mexico’s breach notification statute, N.M. Stat. §§ 57-12C-6, 57-12C-10, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Las Cruces organizations across Doña Ana County / Mesilla Valley, including Mesilla, Doña Ana, Santa Teresa, Sunland Park, Anthony and Hatch, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Las Cruces 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 Doña Ana County / Mesilla Valley's key industries.
Higher Education, Research & Spin-Outs
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.
Agriculture, Food Processing & Cold Chain
Agricultural producers and food operations increasingly run on connected equipment, cloud farm-management software and tight seasonal windows. We protect identity and email, back up the systems that run planting, processing and shipping, and plan for an incident landing in the busiest week of the year.
Defense, Aerospace & Federal Subcontracting
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.
Healthcare & Behavioral Health
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.
Cross-Border Logistics & Light Manufacturing
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.
