SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

San Marcos businesses in education-adjacent services, manufacturing & logistics and healthcare 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 San Marcos organizations across Central Texas / I-35 Corridor, including Kyle, Buda, Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Martindale and Maxwell, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for San Marcos 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 Central Texas / I-35 Corridor's key industries.

Education-Adjacent Services

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.

Manufacturing & Logistics

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.

Neighborhoods We Serve in San Marcos

We provide cybersecurity consulting throughout Central Texas / I-35 Corridor.

Kyle

Kyle has grown fast along I-35, with Ascension Seton Hays anchoring a medical cluster near Plum Creek. Clinics there need HIPAA-ready networks and dependable records access.

Buda

Retail and distribution define Buda's I-35 frontage, from the Cabela's store to nearby warehouses, while historic Main Street shops depend on reliable POS and card processing.

Wimberley

Cypress Creek, the Square, and Blanco River lodging give Wimberley a tourism economy where bed-and-breakfasts and galleries need guest Wi-Fi and backup internet on rural lines.

Dripping Springs

Wedding venues, distilleries, and breweries have made Dripping Springs a Hill Country destination; event businesses there run on guest networks, booking systems, and cloud backups.

Martindale

Along the San Marcos River, Martindale keeps a compact historic downtown that has drawn film crews, plus paddling outfitters whose summer bookings and payments cannot go offline.

Maxwell

Farmland and ranch tracts stretch across Maxwell in Caldwell County, where ag operations and trades rely on cellular failover and remote support instead of a nearby IT bench.

Niederwald

Sitting along State Highway 21 southeast of Kyle, Niederwald stays small and residential, so home-based professionals and trades lean on managed endpoints and dependable remote access.

Mountain City

Mountain City is almost entirely residential, wooded lots off FM 2770 between Buda and Kyle, so home offices and small professional practices there lean on reliable remote access.

Woodcreek

Built around golf course fairways and the Cypress Creek corridor near Wimberley, Woodcreek mixes retiree households, vacation rentals, and club amenities that need dependable POS and property-wide wireless.

Uhland

Once a brick-making stop, Uhland now straddles the Hays and Caldwell county line as new subdivisions arrive; contractors here need mobile devices, job-site connectivity, and secure file access.

San Marcos FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in San Marcos, TX.

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

Which regulations should San Marcos education-adjacent services organizations plan for?

+
For the industries we see most in Central Texas / I-35 Corridor, that usually means FERPA and research sponsor requirements, OT security expectations such as IEC 62443 and the HIPAA Security Rule, 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 San Marcos. 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.
