Cybersecurity in Tampa, built into every plan
Tampa Bay sells security as an upgrade. We build it in: a security operations center over your sign-ins, mailboxes and devices around the clock, mail screened before it opens, and a backup that rolls back to any hour, from Ybor and downtown.
The watching, around the clock
A Tampa business does not get attacked during business hours. It gets attacked on a Saturday, through a password bought online, from a sign-in that looks ordinary until you notice the country. The security operations center is the part of our service that exists for that moment. People watch the sign-ins, the mailboxes and the devices of every Tampa client, all day and all night, and when something is wrong they cut the computer off, lock the account and leave your Concierge Team a clear record for the morning. The same three people who know your company, backed by the whole company, finish the job.
What is in every Tampa plan
Mail screened before it opens: links and attachments checked, impersonation of your owner or your bank stopped. Every computer protected with security that we manage, update and watch, with encryption and updates enforced rather than hoped for. Sign-in protection on every Microsoft 365 account, with rules by device and place, so a stolen password is not enough. Short, regular training with practice phishing for your people. And a backup that lives apart from your systems, is tested, and rolls back to any hour, so a mistake or an attack costs an hour, not a week.
The attacks we see across Hillsborough
Westshore financial and insurance offices see the wire request from a client whose mailbox was taken over. Healthcare practices from Carrollwood to Brandon see the fake patient portal login. Logistics companies near the port see the invoice with the changed bank account. Construction firms see the payroll change request from an "employee" the week before payday. They share one thing: no malware, just a convincing message and a busy afternoon. Screening the message, checking the sign-in, training the person and watching for what slips through is how you beat that pattern.
When Tampa work answers to a rule
Practices under HIPAA, CPA firms under the FTC Safeguards Rule, agencies under CJIS and anyone whose cyber insurer sends a questionnaire need the next layer: records kept as the rule requires, sensitive files labeled and controlled, and an audit trail. That is Security + Compliance, on the compliance page for Tampa.

Questions people ask
Plain answers.
Is this extra?
No. Everything on this page is in Concierge IT for Business at $125 per person, per month. Security + Compliance is the only security add-on, and it is for rules, not for protection.
What happens the night something goes wrong?
The security operations center isolates the computer or locks the account within minutes, then your Tampa team takes it in the morning and tells you what happened in plain words.
Do you work with our cyber insurance renewal?
Yes. The questions it asks, about multifactor authentication, backups, training and monitoring, describe what is already in the plan, so the answers are true.
