Cybersecurity Services for Houston & DFW Businesses
Most breaches trace back to a missing basic control or a clicked link. Braintek protects Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth businesses with layered cybersecurity — identity, endpoints, email, backup, and people — managed and monitored so you're genuinely protected, not just hoping you are.

What's Included
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and access controls Stop a stolen password from becoming a breach — MFA on email, VPN, and critical apps, with least-privilege access so people only reach what they need.
- Endpoint detection and response (EDR) Modern protection that detects and isolates threats on laptops and servers in real time — well beyond traditional antivirus.
- Patching and vulnerability management Known security holes are closed quickly with managed patching across operating systems and the software attackers target most.
- Email security and phishing protection Filtering and anti-phishing controls that block the malicious links and attachments the majority of breaches start with.
- Documented, tested backups Regularly tested, isolated backups so a ransomware hit means you restore — not that you pay a ransom.
- Security awareness training Short monthly training and simulated phishing turn your team from the weakest link into a first line of defense.
- Dark web monitoring We watch for your company credentials surfacing in breach dumps and act before they're used against you.
Why Braintek
We build security in layers and manage it for you — so the protections you pay for are actually turned on, monitored, and maintained. You get reporting you can hand to your insurer or board, and a team that treats security as an ongoing program, not a product you bought once and forgot.

Cybersecurity from Braintek is a managed, layered program — not a one-time product. Real protection comes from defense in depth: securing identity, endpoints, email, and data, training your people, and monitoring all of it so a single mistake doesn’t become a breach.
The uncomfortable truth is that most incidents don’t start with a sophisticated hacker — they start with a reused password or a convincing phishing email. That’s why our program pairs technical controls like MFA, EDR, and tested backups with the human side: ongoing awareness training and simulated phishing that keep your team alert.
We also keep the receipts. You get reporting you can hand to a cyber-insurer or your board, and for regulated businesses we implement and document the safeguards your compliance framework requires. Whether security is part of fully managed IT or a standalone engagement alongside your in-house team, the goal is the same — protections that are actually turned on, monitored, and maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this help with our cyber-insurance requirements?
Yes — our controls map directly to what insurers now require (MFA, EDR, backups, training), so you can answer the questionnaire honestly and qualify for better coverage.
Is cybersecurity separate from managed IT?
Core protections are built into managed IT. For regulated businesses we layer on advanced controls — and we also offer cybersecurity as a standalone engagement alongside your existing IT team.
What's the single most important thing we can do to prevent a breach?
Two things stop the majority of incidents — multi-factor authentication everywhere and ongoing security-awareness training. Most breaches start with a stolen password or a clicked phishing link, and both controls are part of our program.
Do you provide security awareness training and phishing tests?
Yes. Your team receives short monthly training and simulated phishing emails so awareness stays sharp against threats that change constantly, with reporting on where the risk is and who needs a refresher.
Can you help us meet compliance requirements like HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, or CMMC?
We put the required technical controls in place and document them — encryption, access control, monitoring, backup, and training. We're not a substitute for a compliance auditor, but we implement and maintain the safeguards your framework calls for.
What happens if we're attacked or breached?
Our protections are built to contain an incident — EDR isolates affected machines and tested backups let you restore. If something gets through, we move fast to limit the damage and get you back to business.
