IT Support for Construction and Engineering Firms, From the Office to the Job Site

Huge files. CAD drawings, models and plan sets are big, and slow systems waste billable hours.

Job site connections. Trailers and remote sites need reliable, safe internet and access to the office.

Bid day pressure. When a bid is due, nothing can break.

Payment fraud. Fake invoices and changed bank details from “vendors” or “subcontractors” are a real risk.

Government work rules. If you build or engineer for the Department of Defense, CMMC requirements may show up in your contracts.

We keep the office and the field working. Ongoing care for computers, network and connections, with a real person to call.

We help big files move. Storage and sharing setups that fit how your team works.

We help protect against payment fraud. Email protection, MFA and a call-back habit for any bank detail changes.

We back up your project files. So a lost laptop or ransomware doesn’t take your drawings with it.

We help with the technical side of contract security rules. If CMMC applies to you, we help put technical controls in place and document them.

This section is a plain English overview to help you understand what the rules ask for. It isn’t legal advice. For questions about what applies to your firm, talk with your attorney. Our role is to help you meet these requirements on the technology side and document the work. The responsibility for your program stays with your firm, and we don’t promise or guarantee compliance.

Wire fraud and business email compromise

This isn’t a regulation, but it’s the risk we hear about most. The FBI calls it business email compromise: a criminal gets into, or imitates, an email account and sends convincing payment instructions. The FBI asks victims to report it right away at ic3.gov (the Internet Crime Complaint Center) and to contact their bank to try to stop the transfer. The simplest protection is a habit: confirm any new or changed payment instructions with a phone call to a number you already have, never one from the email.

CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 (for Department of Defense work)

If you make parts, do engineering or build for the Department of Defense, directly or as a subcontractor, CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) may apply to you. The program is set out at 32 CFR Part 170, and the companion DFARS (defense acquisition) rule took effect November 10, 2025. That started Phase 1, when DoD began including CMMC self-assessment requirements in applicable contracts as a condition of award. Phase 2 begins one year later, November 10, 2026, and adds third-party (C3PAO) certification for applicable contracts.

• Level 1 covers Federal Contract Information (FCI). It requires meeting 15 basic security requirements, a self-assessment every year, and an affirmation entered in SPRS (the Supplier Performance Risk System).
• Level 2 covers Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It’s built on the security requirements in NIST SP 800-171 (the CMMC rule references Revision 2; NIST has since published Revision 3).

Which level applies depends on what kind of information your contract involves, so read your contract and ask your prime contractor or contracting officer.

New Jersey’s data breach law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-161 to 56:8-166)

New Jersey’s Identity Theft Prevention Act covers any business that does business in New Jersey, and any public entity, that keeps computerized records with personal information. If there’s a breach of New Jersey residents’ personal information, you have to tell the affected people in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay. Before you tell them, the law says you must report the breach to the New Jersey State Police. The State Police and the NJCCIC (New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell) provide an online form for that report. If you decide misuse of the information isn’t reasonably possible, the law says to document that decision in writing and keep it for five years.
