Why Cybersecurity Matters — Especially in Imperial Valley
Small businesses, clinics, schools, and local government agencies are now top targets for ransomware and phishing. Automated attacks don’t care about size — they scan the Internet looking for weaknesses.
One compromised account can lead to payroll fraud, data theft, downtime, lawsuits, and reputation damage. Our goal is simple: reduce your risk and keep your operations running safely.
Our approach follows best practices from
CISA and the
NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
