Built for the port
When the systems stop, the filings stop.
Managed IT and cybersecurity for customs brokers and freight forwarders in Laredo and along the border, from someone who already runs the systems behind a working brokerage.
What we see
Most IT providers have never sat with a broker at 4pm on a deadline.
These are the ones that cost real money in this business.
The connection to your ABI software drops. Entries don’t transmit, and nobody moves a deadline because you had an outage.
A workstation dies in the middle of a filing window. One person stops, and so does everything behind them.
Someone gets into an email thread, changes the payment instructions, and the money goes out the door.
Somebody leaves and their accounts stay open. They still have a way into importer data, and you can’t prove they didn’t use it.
Somebody asks for records and nobody can produce them. “We wiped that laptop” doesn’t get you anywhere.
Backups are running, but nobody has ever restored one. You find out if they work on the day you need them.
What we do about it
Boring work, done right.
None of this is clever. It’s just what keeps turning up missing when we look.
Somebody watching the systems your filings run on
Updated, supported and watched. When one person owns the whole setup, problems turn up before a deadline does.
Multi-factor authentication everywhere, including the owner
On email and on remote access, with nobody exempted because it’s inconvenient. This is what stops the payment-redirect attacks that hit this industry.
Account and device records kept in order
So you can show who did what and when, whether it’s for an audit, an insurer, an attorney, or an argument with a former employee.
Backups watched, restores actually tested
A backup nobody has restored from is a guess. We do the restore and write down that it worked.
New hires and departures handled the same way every time
Including staff on both sides of the border. Access opens on day one and closes on the last day, and both get written down.
Evidence kept properly when something does happen
We preserve it before anything gets overwritten, build a timeline, and write it up so your attorney or insurer can actually use it.
What this is worth
The records pay for themselves long before a breach shows up.
$9,000
Saved on one claim
A brokerage let an employee go and he filed for unemployment. They had to show what actually happened, and they could, because the account and device records were already being kept properly. The claim was contested successfully.
The same records that hold up in a security review will also settle an employment dispute. For a brokerage, that’s usually the first time this pays for itself.
