IT and cybersecurity for Construction Materials Labs

You are held to WABO / AASHTO accreditation – 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: Pour-schedule dependency + accreditation.

If this sounds familiar

“If I can’t prove a result is what we reported, I don’t have a business – I have a lawsuit.”

Defensibility is the product. Any gap in audit trail, chain of custody or access control is an existential risk, not an IT inconvenience.

“Half my instruments run on operating systems nobody supports, and the vendor won’t certify anything newer. I can’t just replace them.”

Instrument PCs are effectively unpatched appliances that cannot be upgraded without recertifying the instrument. Providers who answer “upgrade it” reveal immediately that they have never worked with a lab.

“Our accreditation assessment is coming and they’re going to ask about data integrity and access control. I need to have good answers.”

ISO/IEC 17025, AASHTO and WABO assessments create a hard, dated compliance event with revenue directly attached to passing it.

Who this is for

Typical size: 20–250 (sweet spot 35–120), revenue $5M–$60M. 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 Principal / Owner (+ Lab Manager), not to a ticket queue.

Talk to us

Call 206-850-1496 or email mhasse@itwerx.net and we will set up a short call – no audit, no pitch deck, just a conversation about what you have and what is worrying you.
