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

Plenty of Tampa Bay companies can describe their security program. Fewer can show that MFA was enforced last Tuesday, that every laptop checked in with its EDR agent this week, or that last month's backup actually restored. That operating record is what MacDill primes, Regulation S-P examiners and research sponsors end up asking for. We run it: endpoint detection and response, a 24/7 SOC watching sign-ins and devices, conditional access, email filtering, monthly vulnerability scans and backups stored outside the storm track. Our team is U.S.-based, and hurricane week doesn't pause the monitoring.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for Tampa Bay's key industries.

CENTCOM and SOCOM Subcontractors

Small firms in Westshore and South Tampa supporting programs out of MacDill need CUI controls that keep working after the SSP is written. We operate them: EDR on in-scope devices, SOC review of audit logs, privileged access management so nobody holds standing admin rights, and monthly scans with remediation tickets. When your prime asks for evidence, you hand over current reports, not a binder from last year.

Independent RIAs and Agencies

Advisors who came out of Raymond James and other large firms now run their own security. We enforce MFA on custodian, CRM and planning tools, archive email to meet recordkeeping rules and alert on mailbox rules that hide client replies. Phishing simulations use the lures advisors see, like fake custodian alerts and spoofed client requests. The monitoring history supports your Regulation S-P incident program with real detection.

Clinical Research Sites

Sites working with Moffitt, Tampa General or USF Health sponsors keep study data in systems that need audit trails and controlled change. We patch those systems in scheduled windows, log every admin action and let the SOC watch for odd access to study files. Coordinator laptops get encryption and conditional access, and backups of study systems are restored on a schedule so integrity is proven.

Port and Pinellas Manufacturers

Terminal operators, ship agents and manufacturers around Port Tampa Bay and in Pinellas run older PCs that control equipment. We segment those machines from email and file sharing, allowlist the software they need, and route vendor remote access through a gateway that logs each session. Accounts-payable staff get training on supplier bank-change fraud, which the email filter backs up with impersonation checks.

Tampa FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity services in Tampa, FL.

What happens to our security monitoring if Tampa Bay evacuates for a hurricane?

+
It keeps running. SOC monitoring keeps running through Gulf storms, and the EDR agents on your laptops report wherever those laptops go, including wherever your staff evacuate to. Conditional access lets staff sign in from new locations without opening the door to everyone. Your backups already live outside Florida, so if the building floods, recovery starts from a copy that stayed dry.

We're a small MacDill subcontractor. Do we need a SOC, or is antivirus enough?

+
Antivirus stops known malware; it doesn't notice a valid account signing in from an unusual place or someone quietly copying a CUI folder. NIST SP 800-171 expects you to monitor audit logs and respond to anomalies, and a small firm rarely has staff to read logs every day. A managed SOC with analysts watching 24/7 covers that requirement, and the alert records become evidence for your assessment.

How do you protect an independent St. Petersburg RIA from fake transfer requests?

+
Layered, because no single control catches everything. MFA and conditional access make stolen passwords far less useful. Email filtering flags lookalike domains and spoofed client names. The SOC alerts us when someone creates a forwarding rule or signs in from a new country. Training drills the call-back rule: any request to move money or change bank details gets verified by phone at a number already on file, never one from the email.

Our research site's study systems can't be patched on Patch Tuesday. Now what?

+
We patch them on a schedule your validation process allows, test first on a matching machine and record exactly what changed. Until a patch lands, we reduce exposure: the system sits on its own segment, only approved applications can run, and the SOC watches its traffic and sign-ins closely. Sponsors usually care less about speed than about whether changes are controlled and documented, and that's the record we keep.

Can you secure the old PCs running equipment at our Port Tampa Bay terminal?

+
Yes, without replacing them overnight. We move those PCs onto an isolated segment that allows just the traffic they require, block internet access, disable USB ports where possible and use application allowlisting so nothing new can run. Vendor support connects through a recorded gateway instead of a shared remote-control account. The SOC watches that segment for unusual traffic, and we keep a disk image of each machine for fast recovery.
