Cybersecurity for Rhode Island businesses
Security built for the way attackers actually work today.
Ransomware, credential theft, business email compromise — the threats facing Rhode Island businesses today are the same ones hitting Fortune 500 companies. We bring enterprise-grade defenses to businesses that don't have enterprise budgets.
The attacks your business is already facing.
Small and mid-size businesses aren't flying under the radar anymore — they're targets specifically because attackers know defenses tend to be thinner. Here's what we see hitting Rhode Island businesses most often.
Ransomware
Attackers encrypt your files and demand payment. Recovery without good backups can take weeks — or permanently cripple the business.
Business Email Compromise
Attackers impersonate executives or vendors to trick staff into wiring money or changing payment details. Often no malware involved.
Credential Theft & Session Hijacking
Stolen passwords and session cookies give attackers direct access to M365, Google Workspace, and cloud apps — often bypassing legacy MFA.
Supply Chain & Vendor Attacks
Your vendors' breaches become your problem. Third-party software, MSP tools, and SaaS providers are increasingly the attack vector.
Layered defense, continuously monitored.
No single tool stops every attack. Our approach layers endpoint, network, identity, and human controls — with a 24x7 SOC watching for anything that gets through.
Next-gen EDR on every device
Advanced endpoint detection and response on every workstation and server. Real-time threat hunting, behavioral analysis, and automated containment when something looks wrong.
- Managed EDR agent on all endpoints
- Admin elevation control (users act as users)
- Application whitelisting against supply-chain attacks
- Storage control for USB and remote devices
Firewalls that actually get watched
Your firewall, switches, and access points monitored continuously for anomalies, config drift, and performance degradation. Logs aggregated and reviewed.
- Performance and log monitoring
- Firewall config backup and change tracking
- Email filtering with advanced anti-phishing
- DNS-layer protection against malware sites
Phishing-resistant MFA, everywhere.
Legacy MFA (SMS codes, authenticator prompts) can be bypassed with modern attacks. We deploy phishing-resistant MFA with device health checks — only pre-authorized devices get access.
- Phishing-resistant MFA on M365 / Workspace
- Single sign-on for critical business apps
- Advanced identity monitoring for suspicious sign-ins
- Dark web monitoring for credential leaks
Security awareness that sticks
Technology can only do so much when a well-crafted phishing email lands in someone's inbox. We train your team — and test them — in a supportive, educational way.
- Initial security awareness training
- Ongoing phishing simulations (monthly/quarterly)
- Monthly security tips & threat briefings
- Zero-blame culture around real incidents
24x7 Security Operations Center
Prevention isn't enough — you need eyes on your environment when you're not looking. Our SOC watches your telemetry around the clock and responds to threats as they happen, not the next business morning.
- 24x7 human-staffed SOC
- Real-time threat detection & response
- Endpoint, network, and log correlation
- Optional SIEM ingestion for deeper analysis
Ransomware-proof backups
When prevention fails, recovery matters. Encrypted, off-site, immutable backups with unique keys per client. Tested restores — not just "we ran a backup job."
- Enterprise-grade server backup & DR
- Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace SaaS backup
- Unique encryption keys, DR-ready offsite storage
- Continuous backup health monitoring
Built for the frameworks your auditors care about.
Whether you're aligning to NIST CSF, CMMC, CIS Controls 8.0, HIPAA, or cyber insurance requirements, our stack is designed to check the right boxes — and more importantly, to actually provide the underlying security the frameworks are pointing toward.
Our optional compliance management layer continuously scans your environment against hundreds of framework integrations, so when your auditor (or insurance provider) asks for evidence, we have it ready.
- NIST CSF — comprehensive cybersecurity framework alignment
- CMMC Level 1-2 — for DoD contractors and sub-contractors
- CIS Controls 8.0 — prioritized security best practices
- HIPAA — for healthcare practices and their business associates
- Cyber insurance — meet underwriting requirements and pass questionnaires
- PCI-DSS, SOC 2, FTC Safeguards — as needed per client
If something does get through, we move fast.
Even well-defended businesses get tested. When an incident happens, response time determines the difference between a contained event and a business-ending one.
