Cybersecurity for Northshore businesses
Security built in: not bolted on.
30 minutes. No obligation. Written findings either way.
The problem
Most SMBs have point security products but no security posture. Antivirus here, a firewall there, nobody watching the whole picture. Attackers don't target your perimeter: they look for the unmonitored gap between your tools.
What we do about it
Lagniappe IT covers the full security stack: CIS Controls v8.1.2 implementation, vulnerability management, endpoint detection and response, red team penetration testing, compliance support, and incident response. One provider. No gaps.
What does Cybersecurity include?
Everything below is covered in one agreement, documented in writing, and reviewed with you on a schedule.
CIS Controls v8.1.2 Implementation
The industry-standard security framework applied to your environment: prioritized by impact and achievability, not by what's easiest to sell.
Security Posture Assessment
Baseline assessment of your current security posture: identifying gaps, misconfigurations, and missing controls before attackers find them.
Vulnerability Management
Ongoing scanning, prioritized remediation tracking, and verified fixes. Not a quarterly report that gets filed away: active remediation.
Penetration Testing
Authorized red team engagements that test your defenses under real attack conditions. We find the path in: so you can close it before someone else does.
Security Awareness Training
Regular phishing simulations and staff training that turn your team from a vulnerability into a defensive layer. Measured by results, not completion rates.
Incident Detection & Response
When something happens, we respond: not just alert. Containment, investigation, recovery, and post-incident documentation to prevent recurrence.
SIEM & Log Management
Security event aggregation, correlation, and alerting so threats aren't buried in the noise of normal operations.
Compliance Support
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and Louisiana state requirements addressed with controls, documentation, and audit preparation tailored to your industry.
How working with us starts
No sales deck, no pressure. The first conversation is useful whether or not you hire us.
A 30-minute assessment call
We talk through how your office runs today: devices, email, backups, who has access to what, and what keeps you up at night. If it helps, we review your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace settings while we talk.
Written findings and a flat-rate proposal
You get a short, plain-English summary of what we found and what we would fix first. If managed IT makes sense, the proposal is one flat monthly number with everything listed.
Onboarding without disruption
We document your environment, roll out monitoring and security in stages, and introduce your team to the help desk. Most work happens remotely; on-site visits are scheduled around your business.
Cybersecurity: common questions
What does Cybersecurity from Lagniappe IT include?
MSP Cybersecurity covers CIS Controls v8.1.2 implementation, security posture assessments, ongoing vulnerability management, authorized penetration testing, security awareness training, SIEM, and compliance support. Scope is set to your environment, written down, and delivered on a schedule.
How much does Cybersecurity cost?
Cybersecurity is normally part of a flat monthly managed IT agreement priced mainly on headcount, rather than sold by the hour. Larger one-time projects are quoted separately. We quote after a free assessment so the number reflects your actual environment.
Who is Cybersecurity a good fit for?
Owner-led businesses of roughly 5 to 50 people on the Northshore of Louisiana, especially law firms, CPA firms, dental and medical practices, title companies, insurance agencies, contractors and nonprofits that hold sensitive data and cannot afford downtime.
Where do you deliver Cybersecurity?
From our office in Mandeville across St. Tammany Parish (Covington, Slidell, Madisonville, Abita Springs and nearby), plus Hammond and the Greater New Orleans area. Most work is remote; on-site visits are scheduled when hands are needed.
