24/7 Protection for Chapel Hill’s Most Sensitive Data
Research data, patient records, and client information require security that never sleeps.
Attacks Strike After Hours
The majority of cyberattacks target overnight hours and weekends when internal staff are unavailable. Chapel Hill healthcare facilities, research labs, and businesses need monitoring that operates 24/7/365 — not just during business hours. Our SOC never sleeps.
HIPAA Requires Continuous Monitoring
HIPAA’s technical safeguards require audit controls and information system activity review. For Chapel Hill’s healthcare providers and UNC Health affiliates, our managed security services satisfy these requirements with continuous monitoring, alert triage, and documented incident response.
Close the Security Talent Gap
Building an internal SOC requires security analysts, threat hunters, and incident responders that are expensive to hire and difficult to retain. Our MSSP model gives Chapel Hill organizations a full security operations team at a fraction of the cost of building one internally.
Rapid Threat Containment
When our SOC detects a threat in your Chapel Hill environment, analysts contain it immediately — isolating compromised endpoints, blocking malicious connections, and initiating incident response before the threat spreads. Automated response capabilities reduce containment time from hours to minutes.
MSSP Services Designed for Chapel Hill’s Institutions
Chapel Hill’s economy is uniquely concentrated in healthcare, education, and research — sectors that face the most sophisticated and persistent cyber threats. UNC Health operates one of the state’s largest healthcare networks, making Chapel Hill a target for ransomware groups that specialize in healthcare disruption. Research institutions managing NIH-funded data, clinical trial information, and genomic sequences face nation-state actors seeking intellectual property. Professional services firms on Franklin Street, East 54, and Meadowmont Village handle client data subject to confidentiality obligations and regulatory requirements.
Most Chapel Hill organizations lack the budget or headcount to operate a 24/7 security operations center internally. The cybersecurity talent shortage means even well-funded organizations struggle to recruit and retain qualified security analysts. This is precisely the gap that a managed security service provider fills.
Petronella Technology Group, Inc. delivers managed security services that provide Chapel Hill organizations with enterprise-grade security operations without the enterprise-grade cost. Our SOC monitors your endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, email, identity platforms, and network perimeter continuously. Human analysts triage every alert, applying contextual intelligence about your Chapel Hill organization’s operations to distinguish genuine threats from benign activity. When threats are confirmed, containment is immediate and documented.
For Chapel Hill healthcare organizations, our monitoring satisfies HIPAA technical safeguard requirements for audit controls and information system activity review. For research institutions, we align monitoring with NIST 800-171 and NIH data protection requirements. Every engagement includes compliance documentation that keeps your Chapel Hill organization audit-ready year-round.
Managed Security Services for Chapel Hill
Enterprise-grade security operations at a fraction of the in-house cost.
24/7 SOC Monitoring & Alert Triage
Our Security Operations Center monitors your Chapel Hill environment around the clock. Every alert is reviewed by human analysts who understand your industry’s operational patterns — distinguishing a night-shift nurse accessing patient records from an attacker moving laterally through your network. Genuine threats are escalated and contained immediately with full documentation.
Extended Detection & Response (XDR)
We deploy XDR across endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, email, and identity platforms in your Chapel Hill environment. XDR correlates telemetry across all these surfaces to detect complex, multi-stage attacks that point solutions miss. Automated response capabilities isolate threats in seconds while human analysts investigate and remediate.
SIEM & Log Management
Security Information and Event Management collects, normalizes, and correlates log data from across your Chapel Hill IT environment. SIEM enables detection of threats that span multiple systems, provides the audit trail that compliance frameworks require, and supports forensic investigation when incidents occur. For HIPAA-covered entities, SIEM satisfies audit control requirements with searchable, tamper-evident log retention.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous vulnerability scanning identifies security weaknesses across your Chapel Hill infrastructure. We prioritize vulnerabilities based on exploitability, business impact, and exposure, then manage the patching and remediation process. Monthly vulnerability reports track your risk reduction over time and provide the evidence compliance auditors expect.
Dark Web Monitoring & Threat Intelligence
We monitor dark web marketplaces, paste sites, and threat actor forums for compromised credentials, leaked data, and indicators of targeting specific to your Chapel Hill organization. When compromised credentials are discovered, we trigger immediate password resets and investigate potential unauthorized access. Threat intelligence feeds inform our SOC analysts about emerging threats targeting Chapel Hill’s key industries.
Compliance Reporting & Documentation
Monthly security posture reports, quarterly executive threat briefings, and audit-ready compliance documentation are standard with every managed security engagement. For Chapel Hill healthcare organizations, reports map directly to HIPAA safeguard requirements. For research institutions, we align with NIST 800-171 and NIH expectations. For businesses pursuing SOC 2, our documentation supports Trust Services Criteria evidence packages.
