Cybersecurity Company in Miami

Attack surface, not company size, is what a Miami security quote is built on: a scoped penetration test (web application, API, and authenticated workflow) at Miami rates, a full external and internal network penetration test against a mid-market environment, or AWS or Azure cloud security assessment with CIS Benchmark and Well-Architected Security Pillar mapping. Scope drivers include application complexity and authentication tiers. We give fixed-fee proposals rather than open T and M estimates.

Miami is the operational center for Latin America commercial flows into the United States, which means Miami banks, fintechs, crypto on-ramps, real estate brokers, and exporters touch Venezuelan oil sanctions exposure, Cuban Assets Control Regulations exposure, Iranian transaction risk routed through Latin America intermediaries, and SDN-listed PEPs at a rate other US metros do not encounter. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida have brought significant enforcement actions on these flows. We design sanctions screening programs that integrate Chainalysis Address Screening, TRM Labs, Elliptic, and Refinitiv World-Check, log every screening event to immutable storage for examiner review, and document the program in a written OFAC Compliance Program suitable for a FinCEN Bank Secrecy Act examination. We are not lawyers, and OFAC enforcement involves specialist counsel.

Cruise networks are a unique cyber posture and we treat them that way. A modern cruise ship is functionally a floating data center with hospitality IT (PMS, POS, guest Wi-Fi for thousands), Operational Technology (bridge navigation, propulsion, HVAC, safety systems), satellite uplinks (VSAT and increasingly Starlink Maritime), crew networks, payment card environment, and a constantly rotating threat exposure across flag-state jurisdictions and twenty-plus port calls per voyage. We design segmentation that genuinely isolates OT from IT (Purdue Model 0 through 3.5), deploy Claroty or Dragos OT visibility, harden VSAT and Starlink edges against satellite-link compromise, and stand up incident response runbooks that account for limited bandwidth during emergencies, multi-jurisdiction notification obligations (US, flag state, port states, GDPR for EU passengers), and the operational reality that a ship cannot pause operations during incident response.

FIPA (Florida Statute 501.171) requires breach notification to affected Florida residents within thirty days, and notification to the Florida Department of Legal Affairs (Attorney General) within thirty days when more than five hundred Florida residents are affected. FIPA is narrower than the California CCPA on private right of action but has been enforced actively by the AGO. Our incident response runbooks include a FIPA notification template, an AGO submission template, and a decision tree on what triggers notification (acquisition of personal information by an unauthorized person, where the data was not encrypted to a state-of-the-art standard). We also handle the federal SEC Item 1.05 Form 8-K material cyber incident disclosure (four business days for public registrants) and HIPAA breach notification (sixty days for over 500 affected) where they layer on top. The runbook is tabletop-tested before any incident.

Yes. Miami operations that serve Latin America require bilingual incident triage because regional Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERT.br in Brazil, ColCERT in Colombia, ArCERT in Argentina, ChileCERT, MexCERT) communicate in Spanish or Portuguese, regional law enforcement liaison is in-language, and breach notification to LATAM regulators (Brazil ANPD under LGPD, Mexico INAI, Colombia SIC, Argentina AAIP) is in-language. Our SOC bench includes native Spanish and Portuguese speakers for tier-one and tier-two triage, threat intelligence summarization, and regional CERT liaison. We pair them with English-language tier-three and incident commander roles. This matters specifically for Miami-headquartered cruise lines, RBI franchise networks in LATAM, MoonPay-style crypto gateways, and any Miami business with a Sao Paulo or Mexico City subsidiary.

The SEC's 2023 cyber rules require public registrants to disclose material cyber incidents on Form 8-K Item 1.05 within four business days of determining materiality, and to disclose annual cyber risk management, strategy, and governance on Form 10-K Item 106. Our IR retainer includes a materiality determination workflow with the general counsel and audit committee within the disclosure window, a draft 8-K language template aligned with SEC guidance, and the annual 10-K Item 106 disclosure preparation. We separate the materiality assessment (legal and business judgment) from the technical incident facts so the disclosure timeline does not get clouded. For Citadel-adjacent Brickell hedge funds the SEC Marketing Rule and Investment Adviser cyber expectations layer in, and we coordinate with the firm's General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer accordingly.

Yes. Franchise POS security at the RBI scale (Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, Firehouse Subs) faces a specific threat model: a payment estate of thousands of locations with shared codebases but uneven operator security maturity, where a single POS compromise can propagate. We design PCI-DSS v4.0 segmentation between franchisor backbone and franchisee networks, scoped reduction strategies (point-to-point encryption with Verifone or Ingenico, tokenization through First Data, Adyen, or Stripe), franchise tenant isolation, and incident playbooks for multi-thousand-location footprints. Detection content focuses on POS-specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques (RAM scraping with Mimikatz-style memory access, scheduled task persistence, lateral movement through service accounts). We have studied the Target, Home Depot, and Wendy's breaches in detail and our hardening reflects those lessons.

Spatial computing creates a privacy surface no prior platform has had. Eye-tracking data inferred from XR headsets is biometric data under Illinois BIPA (when devices ship to IL users), under Texas CUBI, and is being treated as sensitive personal information under the California CPRA. Eye gaze can infer cognitive state, attention, emotion, and (under research) early indicators of neurological conditions, which raises ADA Title III accessibility and discrimination questions. Our work for XR-adjacent Miami operations focuses on minimization (do not collect eye-gaze beyond what the feature requires), local-only processing where feasible (do not export raw gaze off-device), explicit opt-in consent flows in the headset UI, and a written biometric data policy aligned with BIPA-style requirements even when the deployment is not in IL, because the regulatory direction is clear. We also design the data deletion mechanism so a user can actually erase their gaze history.
