Service Area
Cybersecurity, Compliance and IT Automation in San Luis Obispo County
San Luis Obispo County runs on professional services, small commercial operations and the businesses that supply them. Accountants, clinics, contractors, property managers, agencies and distributors. Different work from the ag valleys to the south, and a different set of technology problems.
What We See Here
Cyber Insurance Questionnaires Nobody Can Answer
Renewal arrives and asks whether MFA covers email, remote access and privileged accounts, whether backups are offline and restore-tested, how long critical vulnerabilities stay open, and how long logs are retained. Most small firms answer from memory. That is how a claim gets denied later.
Microsoft 365 on Defaults
Tenants stood up years ago and never revisited. Legacy authentication still enabled, no conditional access, global admin handed to three people, external sharing wide open, and audit logging never reviewed. Individually minor, collectively how most small business compromises begin.
Client Data With No Retention Position
Professional firms accumulate client files indefinitely. Nobody decides what to keep, for how long, or where it lives. It becomes both a storage cost and a breach-size multiplier.
Staff Doing Work Software Should Do
Re-keying invoices, chasing signatures, assembling the same monthly report, moving data between a practice system and accounting because the two do not speak.
What We Do About It
Cyber Insurance and CIS Controls Readiness
A gap assessment against CIS Controls v8.1 IG1, scored, with a sequenced remediation plan and an evidence library organised so questionnaire answers come with proof attached. From $3,500.
Microsoft 365 Hardening
MFA and conditional access properly scoped, legacy authentication disabled, admin roles separated and reviewed, external sharing controlled, retention configured, and audit logging turned on and fed somewhere it will be read.
Hosted SIEM Without the Enterprise Price
Log collection from your firewall, servers, endpoints and Microsoft 365, hosted and tuned by us. Implementation from $3,500 for up to five log sources, hosting from $249 a month. Retention set to what your insurer asks for.
Automation for the Repetitive Work
Invoice extraction into accounting, document intake and classification, approval routing, renewal alerting, and scheduled reporting that assembles itself.
AI Workspace Setup for Professional Offices
Accounting, legal, real estate and insurance offices in San Luis Obispo County get an AI assistant set up inside Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with client projects, a written AI use policy, and plan settings chosen for how they handle client data. See AI Workspace Setup.
Common Questions
Do You Replace Our Current IT Provider?
Usually not. Most break-fix and helpdesk providers do not do security engineering or compliance evidence work. We generally work alongside them, and we will coordinate directly with them rather than around them.
Can You Help Us Pass a Client Security Review?
Yes, that is the same work as insurance readiness. We close the gaps and assemble the evidence. We do not issue attestations and we cannot promise an outcome, because that is not ours to promise.
Are You Actually in the County?
Based in Orcutt, just south of the county line, roughly thirty minutes from San Luis Obispo and fifteen from the Five Cities.
Can You Set Up AI Tools Like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot for Our Office?
Yes. AI Workspace Setup covers platform selection, secure configuration, project workspaces, branded templates and hands-on training for offices of one to twenty people. Discovery starts at $350. See AI Workspace Setup.
