Small business cybersecurity in Puerto Rico
Most attacks on small businesses start with an ordinary email and succeed because basic protections were never set up. We put those protections in place, keep them current, and make sure you can recover if something gets through.
A plain look at the risk
Most security problems in small businesses don’t come from someone targeting you by name. They come from an email that looks like it’s from a supplier, a reused password, a laptop that missed its updates, or a backup that nobody checked. Any of these can lock you out of your files, expose client information, or stop your business for days.
None of this means you need enterprise security. It means the basics have to be in place and kept up: strong sign-in, protected devices, filtered email, backups you can restore, and a team that knows what a fake message looks like.
How we approach it
We start with an assessment. We look at how your business actually works: who has access to what, where client data lives, how email is set up, and what happens to your files if a computer is lost or stolen. You get a short report that ranks the risks by how likely and how costly they are, with what we’d fix first.
Then we fix things in that order and keep them fixed. Security isn’t a one-time install. Devices need updates, new employees need accounts set up correctly, people who leave need their access removed, and backups need to be tested. We handle that every month so it doesn’t depend on someone remembering.
Security that fits your industry
Different businesses carry different responsibilities. A medical office has to protect patient records under HIPAA, the federal health privacy law. A law firm has a duty to keep client files confidential. An accounting firm holds Social Security numbers and bank details for every client. We set up protections and documentation that match what your industry actually requires.
If you’re also thinking about AI to automate parts of your work, security comes into that too. We choose tools that keep your data private, and we set them up with the same access rules as everything else.
What's included
Security assessment
We review your devices, accounts, network and backups, then give you a short report of the real risks, ranked by what to fix first.
Endpoint protection
Every laptop, desktop and phone your team uses gets protection software, encryption and updates, managed centrally so nothing is left out.
Email security
Filtering that stops most phishing and fake invoices before they reach the inbox, plus multi-factor authentication (a code on your phone at sign-in) on every account.
Backup and recovery
Copies of your data kept separately from your network, so ransomware can't reach them. We test restores on a schedule and write down how to get back up.
Staff phishing training
Short, practical training and safe practice emails, so your team learns to spot a fake message before anyone clicks.
Compliance support, including HIPAA
We help you put the required safeguards in place and document them, whether it's HIPAA for patient data or confidentiality rules for client files.
What changes for you
You know where you stand
Instead of hoping you're fine, you have a written list of what's protected, what isn't, and what's being done about it.
One bad click doesn't stop the business
With protected devices and tested backups, a mistake becomes an inconvenience instead of days without your files.
Easier answers for clients and auditors
When a client, insurer or regulator asks how you protect data, you have the documentation ready.
Industries we help with this
Medical offices
Fewer phone calls about appointments, less paperwork, and patient data protected to HIPAA standards.
Legal
Intake, routine drafting and deadline tracking handled, so more of your hours are billable and confidential stays confidential.
Accounting
Client documents collected and entered without the chase, especially when tax season arrives.
Questions about cybersecurity
Is my business really a target? We're small.
Most attacks aren't aimed at a specific company. They're sent to thousands of inboxes at once and succeed wherever basic protections are missing. Small businesses are often the easiest place for that to work, which is why the basics matter.
How do I know if my data is safe right now?
Usually you don't, until something goes wrong. A security assessment answers that question. We check your accounts, devices, email and backups, and tell you in plain language what's fine and what needs attention.
How much does cybersecurity cost?
It depends on your team size, your industry and what you already have in place, so we don't publish prices. The first call is free, and you get a written quote before any work starts. Many fixes, like multi-factor authentication, cost very little.
Can you make us HIPAA compliant?
We can set up and document the technical safeguards HIPAA requires, like access controls, encryption, backups and audit logs, and help you keep them current. Compliance also includes policies and training on your side, and we walk you through those too.
What happens if we do get hacked?
You call us. We help contain the problem, restore from backup, change compromised passwords and figure out how it happened, so it doesn't happen the same way again.
