Cybersecurity
Houston cybersecurity for SMBs: EDR, email security, MFA, 24/7 SOC monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and incident response.
Cybersecurity built for Houston small and mid-sized businesses
Houston's mix of energy, healthcare, legal, and professional services makes the metro a high-value target for ransomware crews and business email compromise. TMG delivers a layered cybersecurity stack — EDR, email security, MFA, 24/7 SOC monitoring, and security awareness training — tuned to the threat patterns we see hitting Houston SMBs every week. Our engineers are local, U.S.-based, and on call around the clock from our Houston operation.
Challenges
- Ransomware attacks cost SMBs an average of $200K per incident
- Phishing emails bypass basic spam filters daily
- You don't know if your systems are actually secure or just 'probably fine'
- Compliance audits reveal gaps you didn't know existed

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a layered cybersecurity stack actually include?
Endpoint protection (next-gen antivirus and EDR), email security and anti-phishing, multi-factor authentication, conditional access, DNS filtering, vulnerability scanning, 24/7 SOC monitoring, security awareness training with simulated phishing, immutable backups, and a documented incident response plan.
Do you offer SOC monitoring with real human analysts?
Yes. Our 24/7/365 Security Operations Center is staffed with human analysts who triage alerts, escalate confirmed incidents, and coordinate response — not just an automated alerting tool.
Can you help us pass a vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We help Houston SMBs (especially Energy Corridor and Ship Channel vendors) pass enterprise vendor security reviews — including documented controls, written policies, and audit-ready evidence packages.
What happens if we get hit by ransomware?
We invoke our incident response runbook: contain the affected systems, preserve evidence, coordinate with cyber insurance and legal counsel if engaged, restore from immutable backups, and lead remediation. Clients on our security stack typically restore operations in hours, not weeks.
Do you support HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 cybersecurity controls?
Yes. Our security stack and documentation are designed to map directly to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and Texas data privacy requirements. We work alongside your auditor and provide evidence packages.
How is security awareness training delivered?
Short, monthly micro-trainings combined with quarterly simulated phishing campaigns. Reporting shows per-user click rates over time so you can see your human risk posture trending down.
