Atlanta’s payments and fintech cluster makes financial data security a standard question from partners and customers. We put layered protection in place for Atlanta businesses as part of full managed IT.
Layered protection
Endpoint protection on every device, multi-factor authentication, email filtering, access controls and tested backups work together.
Protecting medical practices in Atlanta
We offer HIPAA compliance training for staff and support the systems and controls behind your risk analysis or audit.
Training your staff
Security awareness training and phishing practice teach staff to spot fake invoices and login pages.
Monitoring for warning signs
We watch for suspicious sign-ins, new mailbox forwarding rules, unexpected admin changes and unusual email activity across your Atlanta accounts. During office hours an engineer reviews alerts and acts: locking an account, resetting credentials or isolating a device.
Backups that survive ransomware
Backups are kept separate from your network and protected from deletion, then tested on a schedule, so ransomware cannot take your data and your recovery copy together. See backup and disaster recovery.
Cyber insurance
Insurers now ask about MFA, endpoint protection, backups and training before they quote. We help Atlanta clients put those controls in place and answer the questionnaire accurately. Read our guide to cyber insurance requirements.
What Atlanta learned in 2018
In March 2018, SamSam ransomware took down City of Atlanta systems. Residents could not pay water bills or parking tickets online, courts delayed cases and officers wrote reports by hand. The attackers got in through weak, exposed remote access. Every Atlanta business can take the same lessons: close remote desktop to the internet, require multifactor sign-in everywhere, patch exposed systems quickly and keep backups attackers cannot reach. We check for those weak points first.
Card data in Transaction Alley
Metro Atlanta is home to many of the companies that process card payments for the rest of the country, and plenty of local merchants and software firms touch card data. PCI DSS 4.0 made its newer requirements mandatory in March 2025, including multifactor sign-in for access into the cardholder data environment and tighter control of payment page scripts. We help you shrink the systems that handle card data and keep the evidence your assessor or acquiring bank expects.
Office hours in Atlanta
Office hours for Atlanta clients are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern. The help desk, monitoring and security response all run during these hours. Read more about cybersecurity or see all IT services in Atlanta.
