Network security should be a number one priority for businesses in DFW . With ransomware, hacks, attacks, vulnerabilities and data theft affecting companies all around the world on a daily basis, it’s just a matter of time before your business is hit. The Fulcrum Group's goal is to provide you with the best network security protection possible, while also keeping your unique needs and budget in mind. Fulcrum maintains a CISSP on staff, a qualified security expert to guide your leadership through structured approach to identify and protect your organization's assets and data and help your leadership team make informed decisions.
Hacks & Attacks
These days, hackers, attackers, and even automated web bots are all trying to gain access to your network and ultimately access your private customer and business information. When successful, the attackers can lock down your data or worse, they can release your customer information to the world.
With the sheer number of security threats faced by companies, it is important to evaluate the vulnerabilities that may affect your business. Lost revenues due to downtime or large fines due to data breaches may not be an option and could affect the overall health of the organization.
Even positive changes can result in internal threats. For example, the growth of AI and “shadow AI” usage could expose your environment to unexpected security or privacy implications. We've been building expertise for the past couple of years to assist you on this brand new adoption journey.
Internal Threats
Not only is it necessary to protect a network from outside threats but internal threats can also be a huge vulnerability. You want systems deployed with proper policies, thought-through settings and an organized identity/permission model. We even provide online cybersecurity training with our services, ensuring that employees are using best practices and are educated on their role in keeping the network safe.
Compliance
If you store customer data, private information, or take credit cards, network security is no longer an option, but instead is a necessity. Not to mention if you must adhere to HIPAA/HITECH, PCI, CJIS, FINRA, FTC Safeguards, or any other regulations, you need a team that understands these requirements and a team that can provide the pieces necessary to keep you compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between managed IT and managed security services?
Managed IT services focus on maintaining and supporting your technology systems and included network-oriented tools for that. Managed security services are dedicated to protecting your data, networks, and users from cyber threats such as ransomware, phishing, and data breaches, with different tools.
What cybersecurity services should small businesses prioritize in 2025?
Endpoint detection, email filtering, patching and employee training are included in our base offering. In recent years, we prioritized Managed Detection and Response, multi-factor authentication, password managers, automated pentesting and created some bundles as must-haves for today's threat landscape.
Why is Managed Detection and Response (EDR) important for small businesses?
MDR looks at accesses, permissions and changes, backed by a 24x7 team watching for issues. Network monitoring is for network engineers to look at up/down status, performance metrics, simple logging and alerting, but primarily during the work day. MDR is needed to detect, contain, and investigate cyber threats on devices like laptops and servers-often before damage occurs.
What compliance frameworks does Fulcrum support?
We have expertise with CIS v8.1, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CJIS, and more-ensuring clients in regulated industries meet mandatory security and data privacy standards. We also have an in-house CISSP to assist with risk assessments.
Are MSPs responsible for client organization's security?
MSPs are stewards working with client organizations. Each client should have an executive Security Officer that seeks to understand all their first-party risks and contain them. Every vendor, including MSPs and software vendors, has third-party risks associated with their clients. Every MSP should likewise have a Security Officer, to help supplement client understanding of the various vendor's shared risks and responsibilities.
