Two tracks. One partner. Compliance for regulated businesses under audit pressure (CMMC, NERC CIP, HIPAA, SOC 2, GLBA, ITAR). Security for every business that doesn't want to be breached (SSL, backups, password management, endpoint, network). Chicago-based, US operations, 31+ years.
PROTECT covers two related but distinct needs. Most clients need both eventually — but you can start with whichever one is hurting more right now.
Preparing for CMMC audits, NERC CIP supplier questionnaires, HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 certification, or GLBA/WISP mandates. Framework-specific documentation, audit-partner coordination, capability statements, and compliance-ready websites.
Baseline cybersecurity that every business needs regardless of regulation — SSL certificates, automated backups, password management, endpoint protection, network hardening, MFA, and security awareness training. Prevention-first, monthly retainer model.
Start with the frameworks Chicago-area businesses need most — defense manufacturing (CMMC), utility supply chain (NERC CIP), and enterprise B2B services (SOC 2). Every framework comes with a website compliance layer, documentation trail, and coordinated audit-partner path.
The Department of Defense is enforcing CMMC on all contractors and their supply chain. Level 1 (self-assessment) or Level 2 (third-party audit) — you need one, and you need it soon. We prepare the website, documentation, and audit path.
If you supply parts, software, or services to power generation or transmission — NERC CIP-013 supply-chain rules apply. Utilities now vet suppliers before they buy. Be ready before they ask instead of scrambling when the questionnaire arrives.
Selling software or services to mid-market and enterprise? SOC 2 Type I or Type II is now a purchase requirement. Your website, trust posture, and documentation determine whether procurement even reads your proposal.
Also covered: HIPAA · GLBA · ITAR / EAR · NIST 800-171 · PCI-DSS · WISP (tax preparers) · CJIS · StateRAMP

Daily automated website backups + off-site cloud storage + server/data backups + tested restore procedures. If ransomware hits or your server dies, you're back online in hours instead of days. Website + email + cloud data + servers.
Team-wide password management (1Password Business or Bitwarden Enterprise), MFA rollout, hardware keys for high-value users (YubiKey), and shared-vault policies. Onboard employees safely, off-board without leaving accounts orphaned.
