Assessments, hardening, and compliance support for New England businesses that can't afford a bad week — including manufacturers navigating CMMC and ITAR requirements.
Small businesses are now the preferred target — attackers know the defenses are thinner and the owner is busy. One compromised email account or one encrypted file server can stop a business cold. The fix isn't paranoia or an enterprise-priced security suite; it's getting the fundamentals genuinely right.
Peerless starts with an honest assessment: where your accounts, devices, network, and backups actually stand. Then the gaps get closed in priority order — multi-factor authentication, patching, access control, email protection, tested backups — with plain-English explanations of what each step buys you.
For manufacturers and contractors in defense supply chains, Peerless brings working familiarity with CMMC and ITAR-driven requirements, translating compliance language into concrete technical steps.
The most common small-business breach isn't a Hollywood hack — it's a convincing email, a reused password, and no second factor. Ninety minutes of assessment can find the same weaknesses an attacker would, while they're still cheap to fix.
Straight answers before you ever pick up the phone.
Assessments are fixed-price and sized for small businesses. Remediation is quoted per finding, so you can knock out the critical items first and phase the rest as budget allows — no all-or-nothing packages.
CMMC is the Department of Defense's cybersecurity certification framework for its supply chain. If your shop touches defense work — even as a small subcontractor — requirements flow down to you. A free consult can clarify what level applies and how far off you are.
That's what every breached business said the week before. Small companies are targeted precisely because defenses are thin — and many intrusions sit unnoticed for months. The fundamentals cost a fraction of a single incident.
