SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

Midland businesses in oil & gas, healthcare and professional services 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 Midland organizations across Permian Basin, including Odessa, Big Spring, Andrews, Stanton, Crane and Monahans, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Midland 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 Permian Basin's key industries.

Oil & Gas

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.

Healthcare

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.

Professional Services

Professional and service firms rarely have a security person on staff, and the risk concentrates in email, file sharing and the owner’s laptop. We start with the controls that stop most incidents, MFA, mail security, endpoint protection and tested backups, and build from there at a pace the business can absorb.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Midland

We provide cybersecurity consulting throughout Permian Basin.

Odessa

Just west on I-20, Odessa pairs UTPB and Odessa College with sprawling oilfield service yards, so networks there juggle campus wifi and rugged shop-floor connectivity.

Andrews

Andrews sits amid ranchland and busy oilfield service routes north of Midland; remote sites there need reliable connectivity and monitored backups as crews rotate through.

Big Spring

Refining, a VA medical center, and Scenic Mountain give Big Spring an unusual mix, where healthcare privacy rules and industrial uptime demands land on the same plate.

Stanton

Halfway between Midland and Big Spring on I-20, Stanton is a courthouse-square town ringed by cotton fields, where small offices want dependable internet and secure point-of-sale.

Crane

Oil defines Crane, a small county seat south of the interstate where distances run long and a single outage can strand office staff and field crews alike.

Monahans

Known for the Sandhills state park and its I-20 exit, Monahans hosts trucking and oilfield outfits depending on dispatch systems staying online through dusty conditions.

Pecos

Pecos anchors Reeves County where I-20 and US 285 funnel Delaware Basin traffic; its hotels, clinics and oilfield yards need dependable connectivity and secured records.

Fort Stockton

Where I-10 meets US 285, Fort Stockton mixes ranching, oilfield service yards and county government offices, so multi-site networks and steady field crew access matter.

Greenwood

Southeast of Midland, Greenwood stays rural and residential, built around its school district, ranch properties, and home offices needing real coverage instead of a stretched consumer router.

Gardendale

Strung along US 385 between Midland and Odessa, Gardendale blends acreage homes with trucking and service yards where reliable rural connectivity and remote support count.

Midland FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in Midland, TX.

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

Which regulations should Midland oil & gas organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in Permian Basin, that usually means OT security expectations such as IEC 62443, the HIPAA Security Rule and client contract and cyber insurance 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 Midland. 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.
