Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity that starts with an audit

DCMM audits, hardens, and monitors business networks. The work starts with a walkthrough of what is actually running on yours, because most first walkthroughs turn up the same handful of problems. The firewall is still using the password printed on the bottom of the box. The guest network and the finance server share one unsegmented network, so a compromised laptop in the lobby sees the same traffic as the accounting team. Cameras sit on whatever VLAN the installer had open that day, usually the same one as the servers. None of it shows up until someone goes looking.

The report you get, and the order we fix things in

You get a list ranked by what would get an attacker in first, not by what looks the scariest. Default credentials change first, because that is the fastest door to close. VLANs get rebuilt so cameras, guest wifi, and financial servers are not on speaking terms. Multi-factor authentication goes on anything that touches money or personal records. Every change lands in a written record, so months from now you can point to exactly when it happened.

What gets checked first

• A vulnerability scan covering every device on the network, printers and cameras included
• Penetration testing that tries the tricks an attacker would try first
• Monitoring that flags a login attempt from a country nobody on staff has visited
• A review of who has admin rights and whether they still need them

Locking down the perimeter and every endpoint

• Firewalls and intrusion detection configured for your traffic, not left at a factory default
• Antivirus and patch management running on every device staff use, checked on a schedule

Locking down data and logins

• Encryption on data at rest and in transit, the same standard for a shared drive and a database
• Multi-factor authentication required at every login that reaches financial or personal data

Ready before something happens

• An incident response plan written down before you need it, so nobody improvises mid-outage
• Staff training and phishing simulations, because most breaches start with a click somebody trusted
