Cybersecurity in Charlotte, North Carolina

Cybersecurity for Charlotte, for the business next to the bank tower.

Charlotte is the country's second-biggest banking center, and most of its security industry sells to the banks. The thousands of businesses around them, law firms in Uptown, medical and dental practices, contractors and property managers from South End to Ballantyne, get the same phishing and forged-email attacks with none of the security staff. That's who we build for.

What we do for Charlotte businesses

Watched, protected, and tested.

Monitoring around the clock

Your site, domain and certificate probed every five minutes from our server: up, fast, serving what it should, DNS where it belongs. Alerts page a person.

Hosting with the protections on

HTTPS enforced, framing by other sites blocked, content types locked, a content security policy on every page. The headers most local sites are missing, on by default.

See every site we run, checked live →

Domain and email protection

Expiry and settings watched, registrar locks checked, the domain in your own name. SPF, DKIM and DMARC set and enforced, so nobody sends an invoice as you. From $29 a month per domain.

Email security →

A monthly look from the outside

What a stranger could reach: exposed files, public login names, store feeds that hand out prices, forged-mail risk. Fixed, not filed, with a plain-English note.

Security assessments →

Penetration testing, with your written OK

Scope signed first, then we try to break in the way an attacker would, and hand you a report with each finding and its fix, then a retest.

How pen testing works →

Same-day incident response

Hacked site, hijacked domain, taken-over email: we pick up the same day, contain, clean, restore and write it up. Protect clients go first.

What we see in Charlotte.

Payment fraud by email

Clients and vendors in a finance town expect payment requests by email, and a forged message from your real domain looks exactly like one. DMARC set to reject, after we confirm every service that sends for you passes, means a fake from your exact address is refused.

Property managers and rent

A fake “new bank details” email to tenants or owners is one of the most common scams we see. Email nobody can forge as you, plus a clear notice on your site and in your lease paperwork, shuts most of it down.

Offices with many logins

Thirty people, one website, a registrar account and a mail system, and half of them have had a password at some point. We separate access, turn on two-step sign-in, remove people the day they leave, and log who changed what.

Proof

Built and running. Go look.

Housecall Auto Mechanics

A mobile mechanic's site, moved off Wix without losing a link and sitting at the top of Google's local results for mobile mechanic in Myrtle Beach.

A clean move off Wix. Nameservers moved, every email record copied exactly, the TLS certificate issued, and every old page address kept or redirected, so nothing Google had indexed broke.

Local SEO that does its job. LocalBusiness structured data, a clean sitemap, his existing Search Console verification carried over, and pages written around what people actually search for.

Built for a phone at the roadside. Call and text buttons that follow you down the page, plain prices, and a contact form that lands in his inbox.

How it works

Start with the free check. Then we talk.

Type your address into the free check on this page. In a few seconds you see what a stranger sees: whether the protective headers are on, whether your email can be forged, whether a login name or a price list is public. That is the same probe our monitor runs on every site we protect.

Then a conversation, by phone or in person. If the site is one we can host, Protect starts at $249 a month with everything above. If it is on Wix, WordPress or Squarespace, we start with the fix that closes what the check found, and the rest follows. Domain protection and the incident retainer work for any site, whoever built it.

Questions before that: call 843-331-6339. You get the engineer, not a sales desk. The full cybersecurity page has the detail.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you work with Charlotte businesses?

Yes. We're based in Myrtle Beach, a few hours away, and work with Charlotte businesses over video, with a visit for discovery or incident work when it helps. The monitoring, protection and most fixes happen from our side.

We already have an IT provider. Where do you fit?

Most IT providers look after computers and the office network and never touch the domain's DNS, which is where email forgery is stopped. We cover the parts that face the internet and work alongside your IT provider.

What does it cost?

Domain protection is $29 a month per domain. The incident retainer is $199 a month. The full care plan, with hosting, monitoring, protection, backups and same-day changes, is $249 a month per site. Penetration testing is quoted per scope, in writing, before anything starts.

Is this cybersecurity, or just hosting?

It is the cybersecurity a business without an IT department actually needs: continuous monitoring, hardened hosting, domain and email protection, an outside look every month, incident response, and penetration testing on request. We tell you plainly when something is outside what we do.
