Cybersecurity · NYC

Cybersecurity for New York City small businesses.

Restaurants, clinics, law offices, and shops across the five boroughs are targets because they hold card, patient, and client data but rarely have security staff. We assess where you stand and put practical protection in place.

Cybersecurity for NYC businesses

New York businesses work in shared buildings, on shared internet, with staff who use their own phones. That makes network separation, secure sign-in, and device protection the first priorities.

New York’s SHIELD Act requires businesses that hold New Yorkers’ private information to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, scaled to the size of the business for small businesses. We help you put technical safeguards in place and document them. For what the law requires of you specifically, talk to your attorney.

We support businesses in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, with remote support included and onsite visits when needed.

Common questions

What’s included in a cybersecurity assessment?

We review your network, Wi‑Fi, firewall, computers, accounts, backups, and remote access, then give you a plain-language report with a prioritized list of fixes. Any testing beyond a review only happens with your written authorization.

Do you handle HIPAA and PCI compliance?

We put technical safeguards in place that line up with HIPAA and PCI DSS and document them. This is technical guidance, not legal advice, and it isn’t a formal certification. For legal questions, please talk to your attorney or compliance advisor.

Do you cover all five boroughs?

Yes. We work across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, plus Bergen County, NJ.
