Cary’s technology companies serve customers in every time zone, and attackers exploit the off-hours windows when internal teams are asleep. Our Managed Security Service Provider offering delivers continuous threat monitoring, detection, and response through a dedicated Security Operations Center staffed by credentialed analysts.

We deploy Extended Detection and Response across endpoints, network perimeter, cloud workloads, email gateways, and identity platforms. Every alert is triaged by a human analyst — not just an algorithm. When a genuine threat is identified, our team contains it, eradicates the root cause, and provides a detailed post-incident report. For Cary SaaS companies running production on AWS or Azure, we extend monitoring into cloud infrastructure with native integrations for CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Defender for Cloud.

Included: 24/7/365 monitoring, XDR deployment, human-led triage, real-time containment, monthly security reports, and quarterly executive briefings on threat landscape evolution.

Cary software companies ship code faster than ever — CI/CD pipelines push updates dozens of times daily. Each deployment creates an opportunity for vulnerabilities to slip through. Our penetration testing services simulate real-world attack tactics against Cary technology firms, providing ground-truth exposure assessment before adversaries find weaknesses first.

We go beyond automated scanning. Certified testers manually probe web applications, APIs, mobile apps, cloud configurations, internal networks, and wireless infrastructure. For companies in Cary’s analytics ecosystem, we test data-pipeline integrations and API endpoints handling sensitive workloads. For gaming and entertainment studios, we focus on account-management systems, in-app purchase flows, and anti-cheat infrastructure.

Methodologies: OWASP Top 10, external and internal network testing, cloud configuration reviews, CI/CD pipeline audits, social engineering simulations, and red team exercises for mature programs.

In Cary’s SaaS-heavy market, a SOC 2 Type II report is the price of admission to enterprise sales. Prospects will not sign a six-figure contract without evidence that your security controls are independently validated. We help Cary technology companies move from zero to SOC 2 certified efficiently, without building a compliance bureaucracy that slows down product teams.

Our program begins with a gap assessment against the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. We design policies, technical controls, and evidence-collection processes that integrate with tools your team already uses — Jira, GitHub, Slack, and your cloud provider’s native logging. For companies needing both SOC 2 and other frameworks, we build unified control sets that satisfy multiple standards simultaneously.

Engagement includes: readiness assessment, policy development, technical control design, evidence workflow setup, mock audit walkthrough, auditor liaison, and ongoing monitoring between cycles.

Cary’s proximity to Research Triangle Park and North Carolina’s military installations means many local technology companies hold subcontracts involving Controlled Unclassified Information. Craig Petronella holds the CMMC Certified Registered Practitioner credential, making Petronella Technology Group, Inc. one of a select number of Triangle firms qualified to guide organizations through CMMC preparation.

We assess your NIST 800-171 implementation, identify gaps, develop Plans of Action and Milestones, and work alongside your IT team to close every finding before the C3PAO assessment. For Cary analytics companies whose products process government data or whose enterprise customers flow defense-related data through their platforms, CMMC readiness is a contract-retention requirement we help you meet confidently.

Most Cary technology companies run production workloads in public cloud environments. Misconfigured S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, unencrypted data stores, and exposed management ports remain among the most common breach causes globally. For Cary companies managing multi-account AWS organizations or sprawling Azure tenants, the attack surface grows with every sprint.

We conduct cloud security assessments aligned with CIS Benchmarks, AWS Well-Architected Framework, and Azure Security Benchmark. Our engineers review IAM configuration, network segmentation, data encryption, logging, and container security. We deliver prioritized findings and work with your DevOps team to remediate each issue without disrupting production.

When a breach occurs, every minute counts. Craig Petronella is a licensed digital forensic examiner with 30+ years of experience investigating cyber incidents. Our incident response team follows NIST 800-61 methodology: preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident activity.

For Cary technology companies, a breach involving customer data triggers notification obligations, regulatory scrutiny, and potential litigation. We provide forensic-grade evidence collection that holds up in legal proceedings, root cause analysis that identifies exactly how attackers gained access, and remediation guidance that closes the vulnerability permanently.

Services include: emergency incident response, forensic imaging and analysis, malware reverse engineering, breach notification support, regulatory liaison, and post-incident security hardening.
