Jobsite-Ready IT.BEC-Proof. Procore-Native.
Veteran-owned managed IT built for Oregon construction and AEC firms. BEC defense during progress-payment cycles, project-management software integration, jobsite mobile that survives a dropped LTE connection, and the certified-payroll and OSHA recordkeeping discipline that holds up to a BOLI request.
No commitment. No upsell. Month-to-month if we work together.
Aligned with the frameworks your industry expects
In Plain English
In construction, the dollars move through email. Owner, general contractor, subcontractor, lender, architect, all sending each other invoices and payment instructions across a project. An attacker who slips into one of those email accounts can divert a six-figure draw payment in fifteen minutes. The defense is procedural: a phone call to verify any payment-instruction change, an email security stack tuned for impersonation, and a multi-step approval rule for wires above a threshold. None of it is exotic. All of it has to actually be in place when the moment comes.
We have built that defense for construction and AEC firms before. We know the project-management software, the payroll requirements on public-works projects, and the workplace-safety records you have to keep for five years. We bring a 60-minute call, a one-page report on where you stand, and a recommendation that names the next three things to fix in priority order.
The point of working with us is that you stop worrying about IT during a project. You hire one team to handle the helpdesk, the jobsite tablets, the file storage, the wire-fraud defense, and the recordkeeping that holds up to a state inspection. You spend your time building. We handle the rest.
What We Cover for GCs, Subs, Architects, and Engineers
The vertical-specific work, included by default, not as upsells.
BEC Defense During Draws
The dominant breach vector by financial impact in construction. Out-of-band phone verification of every payment-instruction change, impersonation-protection email security, and multi-step approval for wires above threshold.
Project Management Integration
Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Fieldwire. SSO configuration, user provisioning across short-lived projects, integration to the accounting stack, and the data-flow review.
Jobsite Mobile and MDM
Foremen filing daily logs from rugged tablets. Reliable trailer-to-office connectivity, locked-down devices via mobile device management, field-friendly support process.
CAD and BIM File Storage
On-prem file server with cloud-tiered backup, or cloud-native AEC tools (Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Bentley ProjectWise, Egnyte, Newforma). File-locking, large models, external collaborators all handled.
Certified Payroll and OSHA
Sage 100/300 Contractor, Foundation, Viewpoint Vista support. Davis-Bacon and Oregon BOLI prevailing-wage records. OSHA 300/300A/301 logs retained five years with proper access controls.
Network Segmentation
Office, jobsite trailer, accounting, design workstations are not the same network. The plotter is not on the email VLAN. The Wi-Fi guests do not see the file server. We design and maintain it.
Common Questions
What is the most common cybersecurity threat to construction companies?
Business email compromise during payment cycles, by a wide margin. The construction industry has been a top target for BEC fraud since at least 2018, with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center documenting multi-million-dollar losses every year. The pattern is consistent: an attacker compromises an email account at the general contractor, the subcontractor, the architect, or the owner, then waits for a draw or progress-payment conversation and inserts spoofed wire instructions. The first defense is out-of-band verification of every payment instruction change by phone, every time, no exceptions.
Do construction companies need multi-factor authentication?
Yes, on every account that touches email, project management, accounting, or payment systems. Cyber-liability carriers in 2026 require MFA attestation as a baseline; project owners and federal contracting officers increasingly require subcontractor security attestations on bids. The technical resistance you may hear from field staff (the foreman who does not want a second prompt on his phone) is solvable with phishing-resistant authenticators that work cleanly on mobile devices.
What is the best file storage for CAD and BIM files?
For most small and mid-size AEC firms in 2026, the practical options are an on-premises file server with cloud-tiered backup, or a cloud-native solution like Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Bentley ProjectWise, Egnyte, or Newforma. Pure consumer cloud (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive) struggles with file-locking, large model files, and external-collaborator workflows. The right choice depends on your CAD/BIM tool stack and how much external collaboration you do per project.
What does Oregon prevailing wage compliance require IT-wise?
Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) prevailing wage rules require certified payroll reports on public-works projects, retained for the project plus three years. The IT side: payroll software that produces compliant WH-38 forms, secure storage of employee classification and wage data, and the ability to produce records on BOLI request. Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 Contractor, Foundation, and Viewpoint Vista all handle the reporting; the MSP role is reliable backup, access control, and the BOLI-record retention.
How do construction companies handle BEC and wire fraud?
Three layers. (1) Out-of-band phone verification of any payment instruction change, ideally to a phone number on file from a prior interaction, never the number on the email itself. (2) Email security with aggressive impersonation protection and external-sender banner injection, configured for the construction-industry pattern (look-alike domains of subcontractors and lenders). (3) Multi-step internal approval for any wire above a defined threshold. The combination prevents nearly all BEC losses; any one alone has been bypassed in real cases.
