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

St. Louis businesses tend to answer to demanding customers: Boeing programs, the commands at Scott Air Force Base, geospatial buyers around NGA West, BJC and the broker-dealers behind independent advisors. Each expects security that keeps working long after the contract is signed. That's the part we run. Our U.S.-based team installs EDR on your machines and has a 24/7 SOC investigate its alerts. We require MFA under conditional access, screen inbound mail and patch on a fixed cycle. Backups get restore-tested. For Metro East locations we also track the Illinois-side requirements, such as BIPA for biometric clocks, alongside Missouri ones.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for Gateway Region's key industries.

Defense and Aerospace Suppliers

Shops and software houses working Boeing F-15 programs or Scott AFB contracts need NIST SP 800-171 controls that stay in place between assessments. We operate them: EDR on every in-scope machine, audit logs read by the SOC, admin rights granted per task through privileged access management, and monthly vulnerability scans. Your SPRS score stays honest because the controls behind it are actually running.

Geospatial and Analytics Firms

GPU workstations, imaging pipelines and cloud storage buckets are where a geospatial firm's value lives. We watch sign-ins to those cloud projects, alert on unusual data movement and keep service account keys rotated. Workstations get EDR tuned so it doesn't choke on large processing jobs. Government customers near NGA West ask who touched what; continuous logging lets you answer with records.

Advisors and Insurance Agencies

In the same market as Edward Jones, independent advisory practices answer to SEC and FINRA expectations plus their broker-dealer's own standards. We enforce MFA on CRM and custodian portals, archive email for recordkeeping, encrypt laptops and monitor mailboxes for the forwarding rules that precede fake distribution requests. Phishing training focuses on the client-impersonation emails advisors actually get.

Health and Ag-Science Research

Labs in Bayer's crop-science orbit and research groups tied to the region's health systems run instruments on older operating systems that can't take every patch. We segment those machines, allowlist the software they need and let the SOC watch their traffic. Research shares get access reviews, and backups of sequence and trial data are restored on a schedule so you know they're intact.

St. Louis FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity services in St. Louis, MO.

We have sites in Clayton and Edwardsville. Can one security program cover both?

+
Yes. The technical controls are the same on both sides of the river: EDR, MFA, monitored sign-ins, patched devices, tested backups. What differs is policy. Your Illinois site may use fingerprint time clocks or face-scan doors that bring BIPA consent and retention duties, so we tag those devices, limit who can reach the biometric data and keep the vendor's storage details on file for counsel. One console, one SOC, two sets of rules documented separately.

How does ongoing monitoring help a Scott AFB subcontractor keep its SPRS score accurate?

+
A score is only accurate if the controls behind it still work. Accounts get created, laptops miss patches and someone turns off logging to fix a performance issue. We check those things monthly and the SOC reviews audit logs continuously, so drift shows up as a ticket instead of an assessment finding. When a control does slip, we correct it and note the change in the POA&M so the number you report matches the environment.

Our geospatial team runs huge processing jobs. Won't EDR slow them down?

+
It can if it's deployed with defaults. We tune exclusions for the specific processing applications and scratch directories you use, test them on one workstation first and watch performance before rolling out. Exclusions are narrow, tied to known file paths and signed binaries, so an attacker can't hide in them. The SOC still sees process activity and network connections on those machines, which matters more than scanning every intermediate image file.

Where should a St. Louis company keep backups given earthquake risk from the New Madrid zone?

+
Somewhere the same event can't reach. A second server room across town sits in the same shaking zone, so we keep an immutable copy in a cloud region well outside the central Mississippi Valley and test restores from it on a schedule. Immutable means ransomware with admin access can't delete it either. We also make sure staff can keep working from home or a temporary location, since buildings and roads may both be out.

What does security awareness training look like for an independent advisory practice?

+
Practical and short. Your team gets simulated phishing that mirrors real threats in your business: fake custodian alerts, spoofed client emails asking to change bank details, and DocuSign lures. Anyone who clicks gets a brief lesson right away. We also drill the call-back rule, verifying any money-movement request with a call to the client's known number. Completion records go into your compliance file for broker-dealer and exam reviews.
