Cybersecurity for Austin and Central Texas businesses
ALCON DTS secures IT and OT for Austin and Central Texas businesses — clinics, manufacturers, law, marketing, engineering, and hi-tech firms — in the tenant, email, endpoints, and plant or shop-floor systems that belong in scope.
Who this is for
ALCON DTS cybersecurity is for Austin and Central Texas organizations that need practical protection as part of managed IT, including:
- Clinics and other regulated professional practices
- Manufacturers — production lines and shop-floor systems stay segmented from office IT; designs, recipes, and supplier files stay in approved tools and backups
- Law firms — client matter and privilege require approved handling and human review
- Marketing firms — customer lists and ad accounts are not public-AI or unsanctioned-SaaS dumping grounds
- Engineering firms — drawings, models, and client deliverables stay in approved repositories, with lab or OT systems included only when they are in scope
- Hi-tech companies — production systems, designs, and proprietary data stay in approved tools and backups
- Other SMBs with mixed devices, email, and shared files
- IT and OT in scope: identity, email, and endpoints on the IT side; plant, shop-floor, or production systems on the OT side when the client environment includes them
Threats we address
Day-to-day failure modes on the same surface as managed Microsoft 365 and endpoint work — operated in the tenant, email, endpoints, and backups.
- Account takeover and weak identity — MFA gaps and Conditional Access blind spots
- Business-email compromise and look-alike mail — missing or weak DMARC, DKIM, and SPF
- Ransomware and untested backups — restore that has never been proven
- Lost or unmanaged Windows, macOS, iPhone, and iPad devices
- Oversharing and vendor/SaaS access that leaves matter, customer, or design data exposed
Monitoring
Monitoring only helps when an alert has a named owner. We watch the signals that matter for identity, mail, endpoints, and recovery.
- Identity and Entra admin-role changes
- Mail authentication and suspicious forwarding
- Endpoint alerts on managed Windows, macOS, iPhone, and iPad
- Backup success and restore readiness
- A path from alert to a named owner — not a dashboard nobody reads
Controls
Controls should be explainable in a review and run as part of managed IT. See Microsoft 365.
- IT and OT in scope: identity, email, and endpoints on the IT side; plant, shop-floor, or production systems on the OT side when the client environment includes them
- MFA and Conditional Access
- Least-privilege Entra / admin roles
- DMARC, DKIM, and SPF operations
- Endpoint protection, updates, and encryption on managed Windows, macOS, iPhone, and iPad
- Logging and retention you can produce
- Tested backup and recovery
- Documented first response with a named owner
Compliance
HIPAA stays in scope when ePHI is present — pair with Healthcare IT. It is one case, not the only audience.
ISO 27001, SOX, and PCI are programs we can support with controls. That is not a claim that ALCON DTS holds those certifications.
- HIPAA / ePHI when it is in scope
- ISO 27001, SOX, and PCI as support-not-certification
- Texas SB 2610 when that conversation applies
AI tool boundaries: AI Readiness and acceptable use.
What a cybersecurity review produces
A short review of the environment you already run — not a brochure claim.
- Current identity, email, and device exposure
- Gaps for this environment
- Recommended controls
- Whether Secure IT / the current IT package is the right place to run them
