Real Numbers, Not Vendor Marketing
Most "industry benchmark" reports come from vendors selling against the data. This one comes from a Texas-headquartered MSP with operating relationships across the state — the numbers reflect what actually gets bought, deployed, and paid for.
Texas-Specific
National benchmarks blur Texas market dynamics with national averages. This report focuses specifically on Houston, the DFW Metroplex, Austin, San Antonio, the Permian Basin, and the Gulf Coast — the markets where LayerLogix operates.
Defensible for Budget Conversations
Bring the report to your board, your CFO, or your cyber insurance broker. "This is what other Texas firms our size are spending" is much more defensible than "please trust me."
Free for Texas SMBs
No paywall, no email gate for the executive summary. Full report (with raw data tables and methodology notes) requested via the form — sent within 1 business hour.
Annual Refresh
Re-issued each spring with fresh data. The 2026 edition reflects the post-CMMC-2.0 era, the FTC Safeguards Rule rollout maturity cycle, and the new cyber insurance underwriting environment.
