Cybersecurity Company in Atlanta

In Atlanta the framework you have to satisfy is the budget, because HIPAA, GLBA, and FedRAMP each carry their own evidence burden. Engagements run as a scoped Atlanta cybersecurity assessment over four to eight weeks, covering an application security review, a CSPM baseline across one cloud, and a Georgia PIPA plus federal HIPAA or GLBA scoping deliverable, a production cybersecurity build (SAST/DAST/SCA pipeline, EDR rollout, OneTrust integration, SIEM tuning) over four to nine months, or a full enterprise program including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HITRUST, FedRAMP Moderate readiness, or post-incident remediation in the Equifax or Home Depot pattern. Atlanta rates sit below New York and the Bay Area but above secondary US markets because of the Georgia Tech and OneTrust talent premium. Fixed-fee proposals, no open T&M.

The Equifax 2017 breach traced to an unpatched Apache Struts vulnerability (CVE-2017-5638) disclosed in March 2017 and exploited weeks before remediation. Our Atlanta engagements treat that fact pattern as the floor, not the ceiling. Every build ships with software composition analysis (Snyk, GitHub Advanced Security, Mend, Dependency-Track) running on every commit, SBOM generation aligned with CycloneDX or SPDX, automated correlation against the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog with hard SLAs on KEV-listed items, and a documented exception process when a CVE cannot be patched immediately. SCA findings flow into the ticketing system with severity scored against CVSS v4 and exploit prediction (EPSS) signals, not raw CVSS v3 alone.

Pindrop, headquartered in Atlanta, set the global standard for voice anti-fraud through device-print and behavioral risk scoring deployed across Delta Air Lines, large US banks, and call-center operators. Our engagements adopt the same architectural pattern when clients run high-volume contact centers: device-print and ANI risk scoring before agent handoff, behavioral signal capture during call (background noise, prosody anomalies, replay detection), and risk-based step-up authentication tied to identity assurance levels under NIST SP 800-63-3 IAL2 and AAL2. We integrate with Pindrop directly when a client is already a customer, and we build internally when a custom blend with the existing IVR and CRM stack is preferred.

Atlanta-headquartered SaaS companies (OneTrust, SalesLoft, Calendly, Mailchimp peers) typically serve California, Illinois, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, and Utah residents and therefore inherit a multi-state privacy obligation set: Georgia’s identity-protection regime under HB 156 and adjacent statutes, California’s CCPA and CPRA, Illinois’s BIPA for biometric data, Virginia’s VCDPA, Colorado’s CPA, Texas’s TDPSA, and Utah’s UCPA. Our delivery uses OneTrust (or Transcend or DataGrail when client preference differs) for DSAR orchestration, RoPA maintenance, cookie consent under the Global Privacy Control universal opt-out, and Records of Processing Activities. BIPA is treated as the strictest baseline because of its private right of action and statutory damages; if the build is BIPA-clean it is generally clean elsewhere too.

Yes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sits on Clifton Road and procures cybersecurity engineering inside FISMA Moderate and High boundaries with HHS 405(d) Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices as the operational benchmark. Our public-health engagements deliver FedRAMP Moderate-ready cloud postures (AWS GovCloud or Azure Government), STIG-hardened images, FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, bioinformatics pipeline security for genomic and surveillance data, and incident response aligned with CISA Binding Operational Directives. We coordinate with prime contractors when CDC scope requires CMMC 2.0 alignment, and we maintain US-person engineer rosters for those engagements.

The US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta) is one of the most active ADA Title III web-accessibility venues in the country, and Atlanta-headquartered retailers (Home Depot, Cox Automotive) and SaaS companies have faced repeated plaintiff actions. Our cybersecurity engagements include a paired application security and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility review because injected accessibility overlays (the AccessiBe class of products) have been ruled inadequate by multiple courts and can themselves introduce CSP and supply-chain risk. We test with axe-core, Lighthouse, and manual screen-reader passes (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), and we document remediation in a form acceptable to N.D. Ga plaintiffs’ counsel and to the DOJ’s 2024 Title II web-accessibility rulemaking.

Yes. Post-incident remediation engagements in the Equifax (2017, Apache Struts), Home Depot (2014, BlackPOS), and SolarWinds-era supply-chain pattern require coordinated work across forensics (Mandiant, CrowdStrike Services, Kroll typically run point), legal counsel, FTC and state AG notification, GLBA Safeguards Rule and HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, and engineering remediation. Our scope sits firmly on the engineering side: rebuild the affected services with hardened CI/CD, implement the SCA and KEV-monitoring controls that should have caught the vector, segment networks under zero-trust patterns, and produce the post-mortem documentation regulators (FTC under Section 5, CFPB for financial, HHS OCR for healthcare, Georgia AG, and any multistate AG coalition) will subpoena.

A typical Atlanta cybersecurity pod is six to nine people: a US-based delivery lead in Eastern Time, two senior application security engineers (one offensive, one defensive), one cloud security engineer fluent in AWS us-east-1 and GCP us-east1, one identity and access engineer for Okta, Auth0, and Microsoft Entra, one privacy and GRC engineer fluent in OneTrust, one detection and response engineer for SIEM and EDR tuning, a part-time forensics-ready incident lead, and a security architect. For payments-heavy clients we add a PCI DSS v4.0.1 QSA-adjacent consultant, and for healthcare clients we add a HITRUST and HIPAA Security Rule specialist.
