SOC 2 Aligned
100% U.S.-Based Support
20+ Years Experience

Pittsburgh businesses live on boundaries that need constant watching: a plant's office network and its controllers, a gas services firm's laptops and a client's SCADA portal, a robotics startup's research cloud and the CUI a defense customer sends over. Those lines wear down quietly as vendors add connections and people change roles. Our managed service watches them for you. We run EDR on office and engineering machines, send alerts to a 24/7 SOC, broker vendor remote access, enforce MFA and conditional access, and restore backups on a test schedule. U.S.-based engineers run it, and our regional partners and technicians, directed by one of our engineers, cover hands-on plant or field work.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for Western Pennsylvania's key industries.

Plants and Machining Shops

Mon Valley plants and machining shops often run HMIs on Windows builds their vendors won't let you update. Managed security works around that. We keep an inventory of what's on the floor, enforce firewall zones between office and plant, and route vendor sessions through a broker you approve. Office and engineering PCs run EDR that the SOC monitors. PLC programs and historian data are backed up, and we test that a controller can be rebuilt from them.

Gas and Engineering Services

Engineers reaching client SCADA portals from well pads and compressor stations carry the keys to someone else's operation. We encrypt field laptops, cache device policies so they hold while offline and alert when a device goes quiet longer than expected. VPN certificates and portal accounts are tied to named people and reviewed monthly. If a laptop disappears from a truck, its access is revoked right away and the device is wiped the next time it connects.

Robotics, AI and Software

CMU-area startups that take on defense work need NIST SP 800-171 controls running inside a CUI enclave while research teams keep their Linux workstations and cloud accounts. We manage identity with MFA across both, scan code repositories for leaked keys, run EDR on Windows, Mac and Linux machines and send cloud audit logs to the SOC. You get monthly evidence to support your SPRS score and SOC 2 aligned reporting for enterprise buyers.

Healthcare Suppliers and Health Tech

Vendors selling into UPMC, Highmark and other large regional buyers get reviewed on MFA, logging, encryption and penetration test history, then reviewed again a year later. We keep those controls running: EDR, monitored logs, encrypted endpoints, quarterly vulnerability scans and phishing training for staff. We'll sign a BAA, keep the controls built to support HIPAA and maintain a current security package, so the next questionnaire becomes a matter of checking answers rather than writing them.

Pittsburgh FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity services in Pittsburgh, PA.

Can you monitor our Pittsburgh-area plant without touching the controllers?

+
Yes, and that's usually how we start. EDR goes on office PCs, engineering workstations and servers that can run it. Controllers and HMIs stay untouched; we watch traffic at the firewall between office and plant and alert the SOC on anything crossing it that shouldn't. Vendor connections move to a broker that requires your approval per session and records it. Changes to the plant side get scheduled with your maintenance lead, so nothing interrupts a production run without warning.

Our robotics startup near Carnegie Mellon just took on CUI. What do you run after the contract is signed?

+
The enclave has to stay clean as the company grows. We manage who's in it, enforce MFA and managed devices for every login, keep EDR on each workstation and send logs to the SOC. Application allowlisting stops unapproved tools from landing inside the boundary. Each month we check configurations against NIST SP 800-171, fix drift and save the evidence. With CMMC requirements phasing into DoD contracts, that record is what keeps your next award from waiting on paperwork.

How do you keep field laptops secure for an engineering firm working across Southwestern Pennsylvania?

+
We treat every laptop as if it could be stolen from a truck tomorrow. Disks are encrypted, sign-in needs a PIN or biometric plus a password, and device policies are cached so they apply with no signal. Updates install whenever the device reaches a connection. Work files sync to cloud storage instead of living only on the machine. The SOC watches for laptops that stop checking in, and client portal credentials are tied to the person, so revoking access takes minutes.

We sell to UPMC. How do you keep us ready for their annual security review?

+
Large health system reviews ask the same core questions each year: MFA, encryption, logging, vulnerability management, incident notice and penetration testing. We keep each control running and save proof as we go, such as MFA reports, scan results and training records. Before your review, we refresh a security package with current policies and evidence. Most of the answers are then already written and verifiable. We also sign BAAs, and everything we run on your side is built to support HIPAA.

How do you handle hands-on work at a Pittsburgh plant or field site?

+
Most security work runs through management tools: monitoring, patching, identity changes and alert response, and SOC monitoring runs 24/7. Our U.S.-based engineers cover business hours plus after-hours emergency support. Physical jobs, like swapping a firewall in Cranberry or imaging a workstation in the Strip District, get handled by shipping pre-staged hardware, using the maker's warranty service or dispatching a vetted local technician our engineer guides by phone and remote session.
