Software Development Review from Jager Mcconnnell
Working with Connect Cause was an amazing experience for me, Jager Mcconnell, CEO of Crunchbase. They skillfully set precise objective, deadlines, and deliverables from the start of the project to its conclusion while keeping lines of communication open with all parties involved. The Crew was accessible and helpful in helping us define our objectives. There management style was excellent and very successful. In general, because of Connect Cause proficiency, effectiveness, and eagerness to come up with fresh concept for your software development. I heartily suggest them.

Thanks Connect Cause! Twice this week, I have needed help with my computer and printer. Josh and Camilo came to the rescue in a timely manner. As the only employee for my non-profit, I was figuring out technology on my own. Having a team to reach out to, has been a game changer for me. Thanks!

Connect Cause has been our IT service provider for the past 3+ years, providing solid expertise and excellent customer service. Most recently they've done an outstanding job leading us through the projects of migrating to the cloud and integrating two Microsoft 365 tenants as we've gone through a merger. As a small non-profit that continues to grow and expand, we are grateful to have Connect Cause as our IT partner. They take excellent care of all of our IT equipment needs and questions, giving us more time to focus on our mission. We highly recommend them! - Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Triangle

Feedback on IT Support - Mark
This morning, I was running behind for our scheduled meeting, and I truly appreciated Mark's patience with my tardiness. Once I communicated that I was delayed but my computer was online, he immediately began his tasks without hesitation.
During the session, Mark not only resolved my computer issues quickly and effectively, but he also took a moment to share advice-- reminding me to enjoy these times with my kids because they grow up so fast. That thoughtful reminder meant a lot and showed the personal care he brings to his work.
Thank you, Mark for your professionalism, patience, and the excellent support you provided today.

The team at Spiral Bridge Solutions made an amazing website for me. From the start, they were super easy to work with, really got what I wanted, and turned it into a beautiful, professional site that feels totally “me.”
The whole process was smooth, fast, and communication was on point. They paid a lot of attention to the little things, and honestly, the final result was even better than I expected.
If you’re looking for someone to create a website that actually works and truly represents you or your project, you can trust them 100%. I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Ripsaw Media's Review Sourced from Google
I can't say enough good things about Brandon and Hyran IT Consulting. They really understand everything IT. He quickly diagnosed an issue with my computer running slow and provided and affordable solution. In addition, he helped us to understand other potential risks without scaring us into purchasing. We've been using Hyran IT Consulting for close to 3 months now and every time we call, we hear back within 30 minutes. As part of our pre-screening interview with Hyran IT we learned that they support companies with as many as 150 employees. We'll continue to use Brandon and his team for future IT services!
After using Hyran IT for nearly 2 years now, I can say they are still delivering the highest quality of reliable services and solutions for Ripsaw Media. We archive all of our client's video projects which takes considerable storage and Hyran IT has provided us with reliable and cost effective solutions. We highly recommend contacting Brandon at Hyran IT for all of your IT needs.

Cindy Luo's Review Sourced from Google
Terrible service. I trusted Cyber Protect LLC to help secure my data, but I still got hacked while under their protection. When I reached out for help, their support was slow, unresponsive, and offered no real solution. They took no accountability and left me to deal with the damage on my own. Completely unreliable and not worth the money. Would never recommend.
Edit: Your response is disappointing and frankly evasive. If you have no record of me as a client, maybe that explains why your “protection” failed so miserably. Your slow, unresponsive support and complete lack of accountability left me to deal with the consequences alone. Claiming that neither you nor your clients have ever experienced a breach sounds more like a PR line than reality.
If you want to prove otherwise, then start by owning up to your failures instead of brushing off legitimate concerns. Until then, your “enterprise-grade solutions” are nothing but empty words.

What services do top cybersecurity companies in the USA provide?
They offer a comprehensive range of services to protect a business from digital threats and attacks. According to IBM’s latest report, businesses are increasing their investments in these top 5 services:
Threat intelligence and analysis (43%): Gathering data on cyberthreats, adversary behaviors, and emerging vulnerabilities to proactively defend systems
Data security and protection tools (37%): Implementing firewalls, encryption, and data loss prevention (DLP) solutions to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of a company’s data
Incident response and testing (35%): Developing and testing a strategy to monitor, identify, and manage threats to minimize business damage
Security awareness training (33%): Educating employees on the latest security best practices and the company’s security protocols
Offensive security testing (32%): Employing ethical hacking and penetration testing to simulate real attacks to uncover and address vulnerabilities
What is a typical project implementation timeline for this industry?
Typically, cybersecurity implementation can take a few months to over a year, depending on your current security stature, IT infrastructure, industry-specific regulations, and project scope and complexity.
Here's an approximate cybersecurity timeline:
Stage
Tasks
System audit and requirement analysis (1 month)
Identifying business needs and high-priority system issues
Developing a cybersecurity roadmap
System Design (1-3 months)
Crafting system architecture and an integration plan
Policy development (1-2 months)
Establishing security policies, procedures, and frameworks
System development (4-6 months)
Configuring cybersecurity solutions, such as firewalls and encryption tools
System Testing (3-4 months)
Conducting penetration, regression, and other quality tests to ensure system reliability and usability
Implementation (1-3 months)
Ensuring the cybersecurity system’s deployment readiness and transferring it to a live environment
Conducting employee and stakeholder training
How much do businesses allocate for cybersecurity?
Depending on service scope, business size, number of devices, IT infrastructure complexity, and compliance requirements, businesses allocate 5-20% of their IT budget to cybersecurity.
Here’s an approximate breakdown according to business size:
Small businesses (less than 100 employees) allocate 5-10% of their IT budget for cybersecurity, as they typically cover fewer systems and users.
Medium-sized companies (100-1,000 employees) invest 8-15% of their tech budget, as they may need more comprehensive endpoint and cloud security services.
Large enterprises (1,000+ employees) dedicate 10-20% of their technological budget, often requiring 24/7 security operations, full compliance and support audits, and more complex security solutions.
How often should businesses audit their cybersecurity?
Approximately 23% of security breaches stem from IT failure, and 26% are caused by human error — both of which are preventable with regular security audits.
Here’s how often you should conduct cybersecurity audits according to best practices:
Annual audits for comprehensive audits of your entire system, including your policies, frameworks, network, and recovery plan.
Biannually and quarterly to achieve regulatory compliance (e.g., PCI DSS and HIPAA), protect highly sensitive data, and manage complex infrastructures. A common practice is to conduct monthly vulnerability assessments and quarterly penetration testing.
Immediately after a reported incident or a change in your infrastructure (e.g., implementing a new enterprise resource planning system).
What US industries benefit from cybersecurity services?
While all industries benefit from working with top cybersecurity companies, research shows that certain sectors experience more threats than others. Here are the sectors with the most damaging breaches and the share of breaches exceeding $1 million:
