Your Business Is a Target. Let's Make It a Hard One.
Ransomware attacks. Phishing emails targeting employees. Compliance violations. Small businesses are the fastest-growing target for cybercriminals. We build a layered security defense that protects what matters most.
Real Threats to Your Business
Ransomware
Attackers encrypt your files and demand payment. Your operations stop. Customer data is at risk. Recovery without clean backups can cost more than the ransom itself.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Employees are your biggest attack surface. One click on a malicious email opens the door to attackers. Layered defenses — not just awareness — are required.
Data Breaches
Customer data, financial records, intellectual property — all at risk. One breach carries costs in recovery, regulatory fines, and lost client trust.
Compliance Violations
HIPAA, CCPA, PCI-DSS. Regulatory fines and reputational damage follow security failures. Compliance isn't optional, and ignorance is no defense.
Business Email Compromise
Attackers impersonate executives or vendors to trick employees into wire transfers or credential disclosure. BEC losses now exceed all other cybercrime types combined.
Insider Threats
Not all security incidents come from outside. Negligent employees, compromised credentials, and disgruntled staff represent real internal risks that access controls and monitoring can mitigate.
Multi-Layer Cybersecurity Defense
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Advanced threat protection on every device — laptops, desktops, servers. Real-time detection, automatic quarantine, and incident response built in.
Email Security & Anti-Phishing
Malicious emails and weaponized attachments are blocked before they reach inboxes. Impersonation protection stops business email compromise attacks.
24/7 Threat Monitoring
Our security operations monitor your network continuously for anomalous behavior. Suspicious activity triggers immediate investigation, not an overnight ticket.
Backup & Ransomware Recovery
Immutable, encrypted backups stored off-site and in the cloud. If ransomware hits, we restore your systems without paying the ransom.
Employee Security Training
Simulated phishing campaigns and ongoing awareness training turn your team from a vulnerability into a first line of defense.
Compliance Support (HIPAA, CCPA, PCI)
We help East Bay businesses in healthcare, legal, and financial services meet regulatory requirements with documentation, controls, and audit-ready policies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cybersecurity services does CMIT Solutions provide?
CMIT Solutions provides a full stack of cybersecurity services including endpoint detection and response (EDR), email security and anti-phishing, 24/7 threat monitoring, ransomware protection with encrypted backups, multi-factor authentication deployment, employee security awareness training, and compliance support for HIPAA, CCPA, and PCI-DSS.
How much does cybersecurity cost for a small business?
Cybersecurity services are typically bundled into our managed IT plans, so the cost depends on the size of your business and the services included. Standalone cybersecurity services are also available. The key context: the average cost of a small business data breach now exceeds $200,000 — proper security investment is almost always far less expensive than recovering from a breach.
Is my small business really at risk of a cyberattack?
Yes — significantly. Attackers actively target small businesses because they typically have weaker security controls than large enterprises while still holding valuable data. According to industry data, over 40% of cyberattacks target small businesses. In the East Bay, businesses in healthcare, legal, and financial services face additional targeting due to the sensitive data they hold.
What should I do if my business is hit by ransomware?
Immediately disconnect affected systems from the network to stop the spread. Do not pay the ransom. Contact CMIT Solutions — we'll help contain the incident, assess what was compromised, restore from clean backups, and document the incident for any required regulatory notifications. The best outcome from ransomware comes from having current backups and a pre-established incident response plan.
What is a security risk assessment and does my business need one?
A security risk assessment evaluates your current security posture — identifying vulnerabilities in your network, devices, email, backups, and user practices. It produces a prioritized list of risks and recommended remediation steps. Most small businesses have never had one done. If you're in a regulated industry (healthcare, legal, finance) a formal assessment may be required by law. CMIT offers free initial security assessments.
