IT and cybersecurity for Construction

You are held to (soft / contractual) – and, like most firms your size, you are expected to meet it without anyone in-house whose job it is to own it. We run the IT and the security program so the obligation is actually covered, not just acknowledged.

Where we usually start: Downtime + field/jobsite continuity.

If this sounds familiar

“If our systems go down, the whole job stops – and downtime on a project costs me real money every hour.”

Leadership feels acutely that an outage isn’t an IT inconvenience; it stalls billing, blocks PMs and the field, and delays draws and decisions while overhead keeps burning.

“I’m terrified of getting hit with a fraudulent wire or a fake change in payment instructions. We move big dollars, and one bad email could cost us six figures.”

Construction is a top target for business email compromise and payment fraud because of large transactions, change orders, and draw requests – and owners know one incident can wipe out a job’s profit or worse.

“Owners and the GCs above us keep adding security and data requirements to get on their projects. I can’t afford to lose work because we don’t check their boxes.”

Cybersecurity and data-handling requirements are increasingly flowing down through contracts. Leaders see it as an emerging gatekeeper to the work they want, not a back-office detail.

Who this is for

Typical size: 25–200 (sweet spot 40–120), revenue $15M–$120M. If that is roughly you, the rest of this page will land.

What working with us looks like

A named team that knows your stack, monitoring and patching that happens whether or not anyone chases it, and a written security program kept current – with the evidence to back it up when a client, an auditor or an insurer asks. We report to the Owner + VP Ops + CFO, not to a ticket queue.

Talk to us
