Supply-chain security obligations
Primes now flow contractual security requirements down to every subcontractor. Failing them removes you from bid lists quietly, long before anyone tells you why.
Cybersecurity Services · San Diego, CA
San Diego holds a dense concentration of defense suppliers, life-science research, and financial services — three of the most aggressively targeted sectors in the country. The attacks reaching them are patient, well-funded, and frequently start with a legitimate credential rather than malware.
We deliver monitored, audited security programs for mid-market San Diego organizations: a 24/7 SOC, a named vCISO, and the compliance evidence your primes, auditors, and underwriters demand — without the cost of standing up an internal security team.

What we hear from San Diego business owners
Primes now flow contractual security requirements down to every subcontractor. Failing them removes you from bid lists quietly, long before anyone tells you why.
Biotech and engineering data attracts targeted intrusion, not commodity ransomware. That requires monitored detection and strict identity controls, not a firewall refresh.
You need policy, risk management, vendor review, and board reporting — functions that do not fit into a systems administrator's day.
What's included
Continuous monitoring of endpoint, identity, and cloud telemetry by analysts, with defined containment authority so response does not wait for business hours.
A named security executive running your risk register, policy set, third-party reviews, tabletop exercises, and quarterly board-ready reporting.
Scoping, gap assessment, System Security Plan, POA&M, remediation, and GCC High migration where CUI is in play.
Control implementation, continuous evidence collection, and direct support through auditor fieldwork and customer security reviews.
Conditional access, privileged access management, device compliance, and segmentation that assumes credentials will eventually be stolen.
Pre-negotiated response times, an agreed playbook, and a team already familiar with your environment before anything goes wrong.

Local expertise
Defense and its supply chain, biotech and clinical research, fintech, and law firms serving all three — San Diego's core industries carry contractual and regulatory security duties that most mid-market IT providers are not equipped to document, let alone operate.
Our engagements combine round-the-clock monitoring with the governance layer: policies, risk registers, tabletop exercises, and reporting. We cover North County and downtown through the I-15 corridor, with scheduled onsite work and remote-first incident response.
Headquartered in Temecula, California. Onsite engineers across Riverside County and San Diego County, with 24/7 remote coverage everywhere in between.
San Diego FAQ
If your contracts include DFARS 7012 and you handle controlled unclassified information, CMMC Level 2 applies as flow-down requirements reach your agreements. Readiness work takes six to twelve months realistically, so the practical answer is to start scoping now rather than when a solicitation names a deadline.
Endpoint detection and response, identity and cloud log monitoring, alert triage by human analysts, containment of confirmed threats, threat hunting, and monthly reporting. You get named escalation contacts and defined response times, not a shared inbox.
Managed IT keeps systems running; a vCISO decides what risk you accept and proves it to third parties. The vCISO owns policy, risk assessment, vendor security review, tabletop exercises, and executive reporting — governance work that sits above day-to-day operations.
Yes. We maintain your control documentation continuously and complete the technical sections directly, which typically turns a two-week internal scramble into a two-day review.
We offer both emergency engagements and retainers. Retainer clients get guaranteed response windows, an agreed playbook, and pre-established coordination with their cyber insurance carrier and breach counsel — which is where most of the delay otherwise occurs.
Managed detection and response typically runs $55 to $110 per user per month depending on data sources monitored. vCISO engagements start around $3,500 per month, and CMMC readiness projects are quoted after scoping since the boundary size drives everything.
