Cybersecurity for Businesses in Gwinnett, Barrow & Walton
MedTech Consulting provides practical cybersecurity for small and mid-sized businesses in Gwinnett, Barrow and Walton counties. We protect you from ransomware and phishing, train your staff, and keep tested backups so you can recover if something gets through.
You don't need to become a security expert to protect your business. But you do need someone paying attention to the basics: systems kept updated, staff who can spot a fake email, backups that actually restore, and accounts locked down with MFA.
That's what we provide. Plain, practical security for manufacturers, insurance agencies, professional offices, home services companies and other local businesses. We focus on the fundamentals that reduce real risk, not on selling you expensive tools you don't need.
A note on expectations
We're an IT services firm with solid security skills, not a security-only company. We handle the security needs most businesses have. For highly specialized work, we partner with dedicated security firms and coordinate it for you.
Why Small Businesses Get Targeted
Attackers don't pick targets by size. They go after whoever is easiest. A 20-person company with no MFA, old backups, and staff who have never seen a phishing test is easier to get into than a bank, and it still has payroll, customer data, and bank accounts worth stealing.
Most of the attacks we see aren't sophisticated. They work because a basic protection was missing. Closing those gaps is not glamorous, but it stops the majority of real-world attacks.
Threats Local Businesses Face
Knowing the threats makes it clear why each protection matters.
Ransomware
Attackers encrypt your files and demand payment. Small businesses get hit because they often lack tested backups and feel pressure to pay.
Phishing
Fake emails trick employees into giving up passwords or clicking malicious links. It's the most common way attacks start.
Business Email Compromise
Attackers impersonate a vendor, owner, or customer to get staff to wire money or change payment details.
Insider Mistakes
Not every threat comes from outside. A former employee who still has access or a misplaced laptop can expose data.
Our Cybersecurity Services
Practical protections that address real risks without unnecessary complexity.
Security Risk Assessments
You can't fix what you haven't found. We look at your network, devices, accounts, and habits, then give you a clear, prioritized list of what to fix.
- Network vulnerability scanning
- Account and access review
- Policy and procedure review
- Risk prioritization and remediation plan
- Documentation for insurance and compliance
Employee Security Training
Your staff is your first line of defense and often your biggest weak spot. We give them practical training that helps them recognize threats and do the right thing.
- Phishing awareness training
- Password and MFA basics
- Safe email and web habits
- How to report something suspicious
Email & Endpoint Protection
Most attacks start with an email or an unprotected computer. We put layered protection in place to catch threats before they do damage.
- Email filtering and spam protection
- Anti-malware and antivirus
- Web filtering
- Email encryption
- Endpoint detection and response
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Ransomware can lock you out of your own data. Good backups are your last line of defense and often your best one.
- Automated daily backups
- Off-site and cloud backup copies
- Regular restore testing
- Recovery planning and documentation
- Fast restoration when needed
Access Controls & Authentication
Controlling who can get into what, and confirming they are who they say they are, stops a lot of attacks cold.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Role-based access
- Password policy enforcement
- User onboarding and offboarding
- Access logging and audit trails
Security Policies & Documentation
Insurers, auditors, and larger customers increasingly ask for written security policies. We help you write practical ones that people actually follow.
- Security policy development
- Incident response plan
- Cyber insurance questionnaires
- Compliance documentation
- Annual policy reviews

What cybersecurity does a small business actually need?
Most small businesses need the same core set: multi-factor authentication on email and remote access, email filtering, endpoint protection on every computer, regular patching, tested backups kept off-site, and staff training to spot phishing. Those basics stop the large majority of the attacks we see. We start with a risk assessment so you fix the biggest gaps first.
How much do cybersecurity services cost?
For most clients, core security is part of managed IT support, which runs $75 to $150 per user per month depending on your setup and requirements. One-time work like a standalone risk assessment or incident cleanup is quoted based on scope.
Do you offer cybersecurity services in Walton County?
Yes. Our team lives in the communities we serve, and we work with businesses in Monroe, Loganville, Social Circle, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Snellville, Winder and the surrounding area. Most security work is done remotely, and we come on-site for assessments, network changes, and incidents.
Do you offer cybersecurity services in Barrow County?
Yes. We work with businesses in Winder, Bethlehem, Auburn, Statham and across Barrow County. Most security work is done remotely, and we come on-site for assessments, network changes, and incidents.
Are you a specialized cybersecurity firm?
No. We're an IT services firm with strong security skills, not a security-only company. We handle the practical security work most businesses need: risk assessments, staff training, threat protection, backups, and compliance support. For specialized needs like advanced penetration testing or forensic investigations, we bring in security specialists and coordinate the work for you.
Can you guarantee we won't be breached?
No one can, and anyone who promises that isn't being honest. What we can do is close the common gaps, lower your risk, and make sure you can recover quickly if something gets through. Good security is about managing risk, not pretending it's zero.
What happens if we have a security incident?
We help you contain it, figure out what happened, and get back to work. That includes isolating affected machines, restoring from backup, resetting compromised accounts, and documenting the incident. If you have notification duties, such as HIPAA breach reporting for healthcare clients, we help you meet them. For complex incidents we bring in specialized incident response help.
