SOC 2 Aligned
Responsive Support
20+ Years Experience

When an attacker gets into a Waco company’s email, files or servers, the first hours decide how much it costs. Our incident response work is delivered remotely by U.S.-based engineers, so containment can start as soon as we have admin access, without waiting on a drive across Central Texas / I-35 Corridor. Most of the cases we handle are compromised Microsoft 365 / Office 365 or Google Workspace accounts, business email compromise and ransomware, for organizations in healthcare, higher education-adjacent, manufacturing & distribution and professional services. Texas’s breach notification statute, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. We cover Hewitt, Woodway, Lorena, Bellmead, Robinson and McGregor and the rest of the Central Texas / I-35 Corridor area.

What We Offer

Comprehensive cybersecurity incident response tailored for Waco businesses

Microsoft 365 / Office 365 Compromise

Hidden inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, attacker MFA methods and live sessions found and removed across the tenant.

Google Workspace Compromise

Gmail filters and forwarding, third-party app grants, outside Drive sharing and admin changes cleaned up, audit logs preserved.

Business Email Compromise

Bank recall support, scoping of what the attacker read and sent, and evidence for IC3 and your insurer.

Ransomware Containment

Isolate without destroying evidence, find the entry point, verify backups before restoring, rebuild clean.

Forensic Scoping

Audit, sign-in and endpoint logs preserved early to answer what data was accessed and whose.

Hardening After the Incident

Phishing-resistant MFA, conditional access and alerting in place before the case closes.

Industries We Serve

Specialized expertise for Central Texas / I-35 Corridor's key industries.

Healthcare

A compromised mailbox at a practice is rarely just an email problem, because referral letters, lab results and insurance forms sit in it. We scope exactly which messages the attacker could read so your privacy officer can run the HIPAA breach risk assessment on facts instead of assumptions.

Higher Education-Adjacent

Education environments see a steady stream of account takeovers used to send phishing from trusted addresses. We contain the accounts, remove the mail rules and app grants, and scope whether student records or research data were reached.

Manufacturing & Distribution

In industrial environments, containment cannot mean pulling every plug. We isolate the business network from the control network first, confirm whether the attacker reached OT systems, and work with your operations team so safety and production decisions stay with the people who own them.

Professional Services

Most incidents at professional service firms start in a mailbox. We revoke the attacker’s access, remove rules and app grants, scope which clients were emailed from the account, and help you decide who needs to hear from you.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Waco

We provide cybersecurity incident response 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.

For Waco businesses, incident response is delivered remotely by U.S.-based engineers, which is why it can start as soon as we have admin access rather than when a technician arrives. In a compromised Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant we revoke sessions and tokens, remove attacker MFA methods, inbox rules, forwarding and app grants, preserve the audit logs, and scope what data was read or sent. For ransomware we isolate affected machines without destroying evidence, verify backups before restoring and rebuild from known-good images. Where hands-on work is needed, we coordinate it as part of the response.

Waco FAQ

Common questions about cybersecurity incident response in Waco, TX.

Someone is in our Microsoft 365 / Office 365 mailbox. What should a Waco business do first?

+
Call us, and do not delete the account. A password reset alone does not remove inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, an extra MFA method the attacker registered, or live session tokens. We revoke sessions, remove each of those, export the audit logs before they age out, and check which other accounts and contacts the attacker reached.

Do you handle Google Workspace incidents for Waco companies?

+
Yes. Google Workspace takeovers follow the same pattern with different mechanics: Gmail filters and forwarding addresses, third-party app grants, Drive files shared outside the domain and admin changes. We contain, clean up and preserve the admin and Drive audit logs.

What does Texas law require after a data breach?

+
Texas’s breach notification law is Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053. Affected individuals must be notified without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after determining the breach occurred. Regulator notice: Attorney General if 250+ Texas residents, as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days after determining the breach, via the AG's online data security breach report form (SB 768, 2023). Also worth knowing: AG posts breach reports publicly; credit reporting agencies notified if 10,000+ people; notice duty extends to residents of other states. Federal and industry rules, such as HIPAA, can add their own deadlines. We provide the technical scoping of what was accessed and whose data it was; whether and when to notify is a decision to make with your attorney.

Can you respond without being on site in Waco?

+
Yes. Cloud tenant incidents are handled entirely remotely, and most endpoint containment is too. Where a machine needs hands-on work, we coordinate it locally as part of the response so nobody on your team is managing an unknown contractor.

Will you work with our cyber insurance carrier?

+
Yes. If you have a policy, call the carrier’s claims hotline first, since many policies require approved vendors. We work alongside the breach coach and forensic firm they assign, or run containment and cleanup directly when no carrier is involved.

Is emergency response available after hours?

+
Yes, for active incidents such as ransomware, an ongoing account takeover or a wire fraud in progress. Our automated monitoring runs 24/7 for managed clients; non-emergency follow-up happens during business hours.
