The wire that goes to the wrong account
Hudson's business core is offices full of other people's money and other people's information. Law practices, wealth management and accounting firms, consultancies, and corporate functions, clustered around First and Main and out along Darrow Road.
The threat those firms actually face is not a virus. It is a well-written email. Someone sits quietly in a mailbox for weeks, learns how your closings or your fee transfers are worded, and sends the one message that changes an account number at exactly the right moment. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center has ranked business email compromise among the costliest categories of reported cybercrime for years running.
There is a second pressure that is specific to this client base: your clients now audit you. Security questionnaires arrive from corporate counsel, from insurers at renewal, from the institutional side of a wealth practice. They ask whether multi-factor authentication is enforced everywhere, whether endpoints are monitored, whether backups are tested, whether you can show evidence. Most firms are doing more of the work than they get credit for and simply cannot produce the paper.
We do both halves. Enforce the controls, and keep the documentation current so the next questionnaire is an afternoon rather than a project.
- Payment or wire instructions handled entirely over email
- MFA enforced for staff, but not for the partner who travels
- No DMARC record, so anyone can send mail as your domain
- Client security questionnaires answered from memory each time
- Confidential files shared as attachments because it is faster
Hudson, and the corridor it sits on
Hudson is in northern Summit County, about six miles north of Stow, with Twinsburg, Macedonia, Aurora, Streetsboro, and Boston Heights around it and the Cuyahoga Valley to the west. Route 8 and the turnpike put Cleveland inside a normal commute, which is a large part of why the town looks the way it does.
It is roughly forty miles from our East Canton base. Far enough that we build the relationship remote-first and say so up front, close enough that scheduled onsite work is routine rather than an expedition.

The work Hudson runs on
IT that fits a fabrication shop does not fit a five-attorney office. These are the three sectors we are called into most often around Hudson, and what each one actually needs from us.
Law practices
Small and mid-sized firms carry confidentiality duties that do not shrink with headcount, and they move money on a schedule an attacker can learn. We enforce identity controls, lock down the mail domain, put secure file transfer in place of attachments, and keep the trust-account side of the process off email entirely.
Accounting and financial advisory
Tax and advisory practices concentrate the most sensitive data they will ever hold into a few months of the year, on the same infrastructure they run the rest of it on. We plan for that seasonality: capacity, access reviews before the season rather than during it, and controls that survive temporary staff.
Corporate and professional offices
Corporate functions and consultancies in Hudson tend to be answerable to a parent, a board, or a client's security team. That means the ask is not just protection but proof, and proof means written policy, current evidence, and controls that hold up when someone checks.
Remote first, and honest about the drive
Hudson is roughly forty miles from us, and we would rather say that clearly than let it come out later. It changes what a sensible arrangement looks like, and for an office-based professional firm it changes it very little in practice.
Everything that protects a Hudson firm day to day is remote work: identity and conditional access, mail authentication and filtering, endpoint monitoring and response, patching, file and mailbox recovery, security awareness, and the help desk. None of it improves by having someone drive up Route 8.
Onsite is planned: network and firewall work, cabling, server replacement, office moves, and the initial assessment we do before quoting. If a firm needs a body in the building within minutes on a routine basis, that is a conversation to have on the discovery call, not after.
Onsite visits are scheduled by SLA. The exact response time depends on your contract tier and the urgency of the issue, and critical incidents route to an on-call engineer immediately rather than waiting for business hours. Business hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Eastern; monitoring and alerting run around the clock.

Pricing and contract
Plans run $100-$300 per user per month across three tiers. Every tier includes the security baseline: endpoint protection, email security, MFA enforcement, and backup with verified restores. What changes between tiers is support depth and how much compliance documentation you need.
Contracts are month-to-month. There is no lock-in discount and no exit penalty. Tier detail is on the pricing page, and a written quote follows a discovery call — we do not publish a per-seat number because the honest answer depends on what your environment looks like.
