From Breach to Bulletproof — A Cybersecurity Turnaround

Client: Multi-State Finance Partner
Industry: Finance
Employees: 30+
Partnership Duration: 1 Year

Overview:

A business on the brink of digital disaster called us in, and we delivered. They were riddled with threats, clueless about compliance, and unknowingly bleeding sensitive data to active cybercriminals. Within minutes, our security team was already neutralizing threats. Outdated systems, insecure email, and total non-compliance were just the tip of the iceberg.


We deployed a full-spectrum cybersecurity solution, eliminated the intruders, brought them into FTC Safeguards compliance, and turned their chaos into control. Then we slashed their tech costs by optimizing their stack and moving their phones under our wing, offsetting half the cost of our services.


The result? They're now secure, compliant, and saving money. A full-on digital redemption story, and we're just getting started.


The Challenge:

When we first engaged with this company, it was a digital disaster. Threats were everywhere. They didn’t know what compliance looked like, and they were hemorrhaging data without even realizing it. Multiple machines were infected with active malware. Hackers had a front-row seat to their sensitive information, and they weren’t just watching, they were stealing and possibly selling it.


Even worse, their email systems were wide open to attacks, and they were still running Windows 7 on several machines. This was a major red flag, especially since the business is subject to FTC Safeguards Rule compliance, which mandates strong protections for customer data.


Our Approach:

We moved fast. Within 7 minutes of deploying our cybersecurity software, our security team had already flagged three active malicious threats. We secured their email, shut down hacker access, and pulled their systems out of the digital graveyard.

But we didn’t stop there.


We ripped out the ancient tech that had no business being on a live network in 2025. We replaced it with a fully compliant, modern, and hardened environment designed to resist cyberattacks and legal exposure alike.

Results:
✅ Full cybersecurity transformation — From infected to impenetrable
✅ FTC Safeguards Rule compliance achieved
✅ Hackers removed, malware neutralized, email locked down
✅ Security stack deployed and monitored 24/7




The Result:

A cherry on top.


We helped the client cut costs. By reviewing their tech stack, we identified opportunities to optimize operations. We moved their phones under our VoIP service and sliced their monthly spend, covering over half the cost of our cybersecurity services in the process.


They went from breached to bulletproof. From vulnerable to victorious.


No business name disclosed—for obvious security reasons. But the transformation speaks for itself.
