The IT challenges construction companies face
Crews, trailers and the main office all need plans, estimates and email, often on shared tablets and unreliable job site internet. Laptops travel in trucks and get lost. And invoice fraud aimed at subcontractor payments is common in the industry.
Security and compliance
Job site devices get lost and shared, so protection has to travel with them. Device encryption, multi-factor authentication and device management protect bids, plans and payment information wherever a laptop or tablet ends up. Email protection and call-back rules stop fake requests to change payment details.
Software we work with
We keep the systems behind AutoCAD, Bluebeam, estimating and project management software, and accounting such as Sage running. Software vendors support their own products, and we handle the workstations, access, file storage and backups around them. Common examples include Procore, Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD and estimating tools, along with construction accounting such as Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Foundation and Viewpoint Vista.
How we help
- AutoCAD and Bluebeam workstation support in the office.
- Secure access to plans and documents from job sites.
- Laptop and tablet management for crews, including remote lock and wipe.
- Network setup and security for site trailers.
- Email protection against invoice fraud.
If data is exposed
Payroll, employee and customer records are covered by state breach laws, so a hacked mailbox or server can become a reporting duty. Encryption, multi-factor authentication and good logging make a breach less likely and much easier to scope. Our guide to data breach notification laws explains the deadlines and who to notify.

Every quote is written for your environment after a short call about your users, devices and the systems you rely on. Agreements are longer-term rather than month to month, which gives us time to document your systems and close security gaps properly. Request a quote.
