SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

Waco businesses in healthcare, higher education-adjacent, manufacturing & distribution and 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. 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 Waco organizations across Central Texas / I-35 Corridor, including Hewitt, Woodway, Lorena, Bellmead, Robinson and McGregor, get the same depth of review as clients next door to our offices.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting tailored for Waco 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.

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.

Higher Education-Adjacent

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 & Distribution

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.

Professional Services

Professional and service firms rarely have a security person on staff, and the risk concentrates in email, file sharing and the owner’s laptop. We start with the controls that stop most incidents, MFA, mail security, endpoint protection and tested backups, and build from there at a pace the business can absorb.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Waco

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

Hewitt

Retail and professional offices line Hewitt Drive, where growing clinics and shops need reliable point-of-sale, guest Wi-Fi, and networks that scale with construction.

Woodway

Woodway's leafy neighborhoods around Ridgewood Country Club and the Carleen Bright Arboretum host law, dental, and financial practices that depend on secure client records and quiet, dependable support.

Lorena

South along I-35, Lorena stays small-town and school-centered, so its shops, contractors, and clinics get more value from remote monitoring than from waiting on a truck roll.

Bellmead

Warehouses, truck stops, and distribution yards cluster along Loop 340 and La Salle Avenue; that kind of operation lives on rugged wireless coverage and scanner uptime.

Robinson

Between Waco proper and the Brazos bottomlands, Robinson mixes newer subdivisions with light industrial and service trades, a combination that calls for solid cabling and mobile field access.

McGregor

Aerospace testing and the industrial park west of town give McGregor a manufacturing edge, where machine-shop networks and controlled data handling matter more than typical office IT.

West

Kolache bakeries and Czech heritage stops off I-35 keep West busy, while surrounding farm and ag-supply operations rely on steady POS uptime and rural broadband failover.

Lacy Lakeview

Just north of Waco, Lacy Lakeview mixes Connally ISD neighborhoods with warehouse and light industrial sites along I-35, where structured cabling and dependable site-to-site connectivity matter.

China Spring

Spread across rolling country near Lake Waco, China Spring runs on acreage homes and school-district life, so wireless bridging and dependable rural connectivity come first.

Waco FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting in Waco, TX.

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

Which regulations should Waco healthcare organizations plan for?

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