Cybersecurity for San Diego’s Defense, Biotech and Healthcare Firms
This region holds things attackers want: defense program data, drug pipeline research and patient records. We protect it with Advanced Shield, our managed security service, monitored around the clock and run by engineers who also manage the systems it protects.
- 24/7 monitoring and response through Advanced Shield
- CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness for defense suppliers
- HIPAA safeguards for clinics and medical groups
- Breach notification within 24 hours, not 72
- Tested backups so ransomware doesn’t decide your week

Who Targets San Diego Companies
A machine shop supplying a Navy program, a biotech with a candidate in trials, and a medical group in Hillcrest look nothing alike — but they draw the same kind of attention. Defense subcontractors see credential theft aimed at controlled unclassified information. Life sciences firms see phishing built to reach research data and deal documents. Healthcare sees ransomware because downtime forces payment.
Most breaches we’re called into still start the ordinary way: a stolen password, an unpatched server, or an email that convinced someone to approve a payment. So our security starts with the basics done consistently — multi-factor everywhere, weekly patching, monitored endpoints and backups we actually test — and builds from there to meet the compliance demands your contracts and regulators set.
- Endpoint detection and response on every device
- Email filtering and phishing training for staff
- Multi-factor authentication and conditional access
- Backups tested on a schedule, not assumed
Layers That Work Together
Advanced Shield is our managed security service. Every layer is run and monitored by the same team.
Meeting the Rules Your Contracts Set
Security here is often a condition of doing business. We build the controls and the evidence together.
Security Shaped by the Work You Do
What needs protecting at a lab is different from a law office. We start from what your business holds.
