Cybersecurity & Compliance for Denver METRO

Practical security for small business: the right controls, configured correctly, with documentation you can keep.

I harden Microsoft 365, endpoints, and the network; monitor the important signals; and respond fast when something looks wrong.

Common risks I look for

  • No Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or weak Conditional Access
  • Unmonitored endpoints with outdated AV/EDR
  • Over-privileged accounts and stale users still enabled
  • SPF/DKIM/DMARC not set → spoofing & deliverability issues

How I reduce risk

I lock down Microsoft 365, enforce MFA and sign-in policies, deploy Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), clean up access, and make sure backups actually restore. You also get straightforward documentation that maps what I’ve done.

Controls Implemented

MFA & Conditional Access

Phishing-resistant MFA, location/device rules, and risky sign-in blocking.

EDR on endpoints

Endpoint Detection & Response with alerting and policy hardening.

Least-privilege access

Admin role reviews, stale accounts removed, safe sharing defaults in M365.

Mail security & DNS

SPF/DKIM/DMARC, anti-phish rules, external sender tagging, block auto-forward.

Patching & updates

Windows and application patch cadence, with health checks.

Backups & test restores

3-2-1 backups with immutability where possible and documented test restores.

What clients notice

Fewer incidents

MFA/EDR + sane defaults cut off common attacks.

Faster response

Alerts tuned to what matters, with clear runbooks.

Audit-ready docs

Simple documentation that maps controls to requirements.

Frameworks I can align to

NIST CSF (lite) CIS Critical Controls (prioritized) Microsoft Secure Score FTC Safeguards (small biz) HIPAA basics*

*I help you implement practical controls and documentation. I don’t provide legal advice or certify compliance.

Security FAQ

What is MFA?
Multi-Factor Authentication adds a second step (like an app prompt) so a stolen password alone can’t log in.

What is EDR?
Endpoint Detection & Response watches processes and behavior, not just files — it can catch new attacks and alert me.

Do you test backups?
Yes. I schedule restore tests and document the results so we know recovery actually works.

Can you help stop spoofing?
I configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC and tune anti-phish rules to reduce spoofing and improve deliverability.
