Cybersecurity in Charleston, South Carolina

Cybersecurity for Charleston, scaled to a business without an IT department.

Charleston has plenty of enterprise security firms and almost nothing for a twenty-person practice, a restaurant group or a contractor with three trucks. That is who we build for: monitoring around the clock, a site served with the protections on, a domain that can't expire into a stranger's hands, email that can't be forged, and penetration testing when you authorize it in writing.

What we do for Charleston 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 →

A server that stays in the building

Files, backups, camera footage and private AI on a server in your office, built by us, installed in Charleston, backed up off site where ransomware can't reach, and watched every five minutes.

Business servers →

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.

Practices and firms with client data

Law firms, medical and dental practices and accountants hold data that has rules attached. We run our own company to the SOC 2 standard and publish the evidence, so the practices we protect can answer their own clients' questions with a straight face.

Hospitality groups with many logins

Several restaurants, one website, a dozen people who've had the password. We separate access, turn on two-step sign-in, log who changed what, and watch the domain and email records for changes nobody authorized.

Penetration testing, with your written OK

For businesses that need more than monitoring, we test the way an attacker would, inside a scope you sign first, and hand you a report with every finding and its fix, then retest.

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.

Are you SOC 2 certified?

Not certified. We run our own systems to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, collect the evidence weekly, and publish what we do on our security page. If a client needs the report itself, we say so plainly.

Do you work on site in Charleston?

We come down for discovery and for incident work when it helps. The monitoring, protection and most fixes happen from our side. A first conversation is free, by phone or video.

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.
