The Threat Reality

HOUSTON SMALL BUSINESSES ARE BEING TARGETED.

Small businesses are the most attacked segment in cybersecurity — not the least. Attackers specifically target companies with 10-100 employees because they have real data, real money, and far less security than an enterprise. If you're a healthcare practice, law firm, CPA, or any business that handles sensitive client data, you are a target.

The consequences are severe. Ransomware can shut your business down for days or weeks. Business email compromise can drain your bank account in hours. A data breach at a healthcare practice triggers HIPAA penalties on top of the breach itself. Most small businesses that suffer a major cyberattack don't recover.

Ransomware
Attackers encrypt all your files and demand payment. Average ransom demand for SMBs: $150K+. Average downtime: 21 days.
Phishing
Fake emails trick employees into handing over credentials. 94% of malware is delivered via email. One click is all it takes.
BEC Fraud
Business email compromise — attacker impersonates your CEO or vendor and redirects wire transfers. $3B+ lost annually by SMBs.
Data Breach
Stolen client data — financial records, medical records, personal info. Triggers legal liability, regulatory fines, and permanent reputation damage.

Only 14% of small businesses are adequately prepared to defend against a cyberattack. The other 86% are operating on luck — and attackers know it. Proactive cybersecurity is no longer optional for Houston small businesses. It's the cost of staying open.

What We Do

A MULTI-LAYERED SECURITY APPROACH

No single tool stops every attack. We layer defenses so that when one layer is tested, the others hold.

🔍
EDR + 24/7 SOC

Endpoint Detection and Response with a 24/7 Security Operations Center, backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center. Every device is monitored for suspicious behavior in real time — not just known viruses. When a threat is detected, human analysts at the SOC investigate and respond immediately, day or night.

our EDR platform24/7 SOCReal-Time Response
📧
Email Security

Email is the #1 attack vector for small businesses. We deploy Advanced Email Security Essentials to filter malicious emails, block phishing attempts, quarantine suspicious attachments, and protect against business email compromise — before anything reaches your inbox.

Advanced Email SecurityAnti-PhishingBEC Protection
🎯
Phishing Simulation & Training

Technology alone doesn't stop phishing — people do. We run regular simulated phishing campaigns against your employees, identify who clicks, and deliver targeted training in real time. Over time, your team becomes your strongest security layer instead of your weakest.

Simulated AttacksSecurity AwarenessTraining
🌐
DNS Filtering

DNS filtering blocks access to known malicious websites, command-and-control servers, and high-risk domains at the network level — before a connection is even established. It's a lightweight but highly effective layer that stops a significant percentage of web-based threats automatically.

Web FilteringMalware BlockingNetwork Level
🔐
Zero Trust & MFA

Zero trust means no user, device, or connection is trusted by default — everyone must verify, every time. We enforce MFA across all accounts, implement conditional access policies via Azure AD, and apply least-privilege access controls so a compromised account can't move laterally through your environment.

MFA EnforcementAzure ADLeast Privilege

SaaS & M365 Monitoring

SaaS Alerts monitors your Microsoft 365 environment for suspicious account activity — unusual logins, mass email sends, forwarding rules set by attackers, and privilege escalations. Most M365 account compromises go undetected for weeks without this layer. We catch them in hours.

WHAT HOUSTON BUSINESSES SAY ABOUT US

FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT CYBERSECURITY

Straight answers — no sales pitch, no jargon.

Do small businesses in Houston really need cybersecurity services?
+
Yes — and urgently. 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses specifically because they're seen as easier targets than enterprises. Houston small businesses face ransomware, business email compromise, and phishing attacks every week. The average cost of a small business data breach now exceeds $200,000 — more than enough to shut most businesses down permanently.
What is EDR and why does my business need it?
+
EDR stands for Endpoint Detection and Response. It monitors every device on your network for suspicious behavior — not just known viruses, but behavioral patterns that indicate an attack in progress. We deploy EDR with a 24/7 Security Operations Center on every managed endpoint, backed by a 24/7 SOC that investigates and responds to threats in real time.
What is the most common way Houston small businesses get hacked?
+
Business email compromise and phishing are the leading entry points for small business cyberattacks. An employee clicks a link, enters credentials on a fake login page, and the attacker has full access to your email and — often — everything connected to it. This is why email security powered by Advanced Email Security and phishing simulation training are foundational parts of our security stack.
Is cybersecurity required for HIPAA compliance?
+
Yes. HIPAA's Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to implement technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to protect ePHI. This includes access controls, encryption, audit logging, and incident response procedures. Scorpion Technology configures and documents all of this for healthcare clients.
What security tools do you use?
+
Our security stack is built on enterprise-grade tools: our EDR platform for EDR and 24/7 SOC-backed endpoint protection, Advanced Email Security Essentials for email security and anti-phishing, DNS filtering, MFA enforcement via Azure AD, and SaaS Alerts for Microsoft 365 account monitoring. We don't use consumer-grade or free tools on managed client environments.
