CYBERSECURITY FOR ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION - CAROLINAS

Posted on Google YCR Law (Clement Rivers, LLP)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bluetowne has been our Technology partner since 2012. We have engaged them on a host of projects including a vmware migration, networking infrastructure improvements and an offsite data replication solution for Disaster Recovery. They have always demonstrated the right blend of technical expertise, practical real life experience and professionalism when helping us sort out complex issues. Having Bluetowne just a few miles away gives a high level of confidence to our end users and management who depend on reliable technology 24-7.Posted on Google Jon KnowlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bluetowne has been a long term partner or ours for over 10 years. Their understanding of our industry and the growth they continue to achieve is impressive. The consistency, accessibility, and high level of knowledge that we are able to access without having to assume the overhead costs of traditional IT services were reflect positively on our budget and with our corporate strategy year over year. The leadership always has our top priority items in mind while working within budget!Posted on Google Greg ShoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As our church grew and our computer systems and needs grew, our staff could no longer keep up with the pace of technology. After interviewing several vendors, we settled on Bluetowne to outsource our IT needs. From the beginning, their expertise and ability to walk us through multiple scenarios for growth and expansion instilled in us a great sense that we had hired the right company. Over the years, they proved again and again to be the right people for our organization. They respond quickly to requests for service and their employees are always courteous and professional. Dealing with employees with different levels of knowledge of computers and computer systems is tricky. They always respond without being condescending to those who don't really know much and they respect the level of knowledge acquired by our employees who have spent years helping with our computer systems. When it comes to troubleshooting problems, they listen carefully to initial assessments by our staff and to their questions, answers, and concerns. Doing so helps our employees understand that they are a valuable part of the process. Therefore, our employees are not shy about being involved in finding solutions which leads to better and more timely results when we do have issues. I have worked with many vendors providing many services over the years. Bluetowne is definitely at the top of my list of favorite companies to work with and I heartily recommend them without reservation.Posted on Google Chip WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A server crash before a deadline can cost $5,000-$40,000 per day in lost productivity. AEC firms are prime ransomware targets because attackers know deadline pressure forces quick payouts.
-> We deploy EDR with automated rollback, immutable backups, and 24/7 SOC monitoring so threats are contained before they reach your project files.
Blueprints, structural drawings, and client data shared over email or unsecured portals are a breach waiting to happen. Distributed AEC teams are one of the most common entry points for attackers.
-> We implement zero-trust network access and role-based controls so external collaborators access only what they need – and nothing more.
AEC firms working on federal, DoD-adjacent, or regulated projects face mandatory CMMC, NIST 800-171, and DFARS requirements – with DFARS enforcement tightened in late 2025. Non-compliance risks contract loss.
-> We assess your current environment against CMMC and NIST 800-171 controls, identify gaps, and build a remediation roadmap that protects your contracts.
59% of AEC firms faced cyber threats in the last two years. Email is the most common attack vector, and project-based workflows create constant opportunities for impersonation and invoice fraud.
-> We deploy secure email gateways with SPF/DKIM/DMARC enforcement, real-time phishing detection, and URL click-time protection across your entire team.
Security upgrades, EDR rollouts, and compliance remediations delivered without halting your operations. No downtime, no go-live stress.
One monthly fee covers your full cybersecurity stack. No surprise invoices when a threat hits or a compliance audit looms, BlueShield protection is always included.
We align your security environment to CMMC, NIST 800-171, and DFARS requirements which is essential for AEC firms with federal, DoD-adjacent, or regulated project work.
Our SOC monitors your environment around the clock using SIEM and XDR. Threats are identified and contained before they reach your project files or disrupt your team.
“We handle work that comes with real compliance requirements, and for a while I wasn’t sure we could meet them without hiring an internal team. Bluetowne got us aligned to the standards our contracts demand and watches our back. Passing a client’s security review used to be a big scramble, but now it’s more of a formality.”
