Part of our nationwide cybersecurity consulting practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
Milwaukee businesses in manufacturing & industrial automation, insurance, banking & fintech, healthcare & medical imaging, water technology & engineering and retail, distribution & 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. Wisconsin’s breach notification statute, Wis. Stat. § 134.98, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. Assessments and remediation are delivered remotely by our team, so Milwaukee organizations across Southeast Wisconsin, including Downtown Milwaukee, Third Ward, Walker's Point, Wauwatosa, West Allis and Brookfield, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Milwaukee 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 Southeast Wisconsin's key industries.
Manufacturing & Industrial Automation
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.
Insurance, Banking & Fintech
Lenders, advisors, accountants and insurers fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule or GLBA, which require a qualified individual, a written information security program, MFA, encryption and annual reporting to the board or owner. We build that program in a form an examiner or auditor recognizes.
Healthcare & Medical Imaging
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.
Water Technology & Engineering
Software and technology companies usually come to us with a deadline: a customer security review or a first SOC 2 report. We build SOC 2 aligned controls across Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, cloud accounts and laptops, and assemble the evidence trail before an auditor or customer asks for it.
Retail, Distribution & Professional Services
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.
