Right-Sized for You
Enterprise-grade security thinking without enterprise-grade pricing. We build solutions that fit your business, not the other way around.

Texas Breach Notification
Texas Data Breach Deadlines: What Your Business Owes
Under Texas Business & Commerce Code §521.053, a business that suffers a breach of sensitive personal information must notify affected individuals no later than 60 days after determining the breach occurred. If 250 or more Texans are affected, the business must also notify the Texas Attorney General no later than 30 days after that determination, using the Attorney General's online form. Know these clocks before you need them. This is a summary, not legal advice.

How Breaches Happen in 2026: Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report
The largest yearly study of real breaches has a new headline: unpatched vulnerabilities are now the most common way in (31% of breaches), ahead of stolen passwords. Ransomware appeared in 48% of breaches, and for small and mid-sized businesses more than half of breaches involved a third party such as a vendor or software provider. The practical takeaways: patch internet-facing devices fast, check your vendors' access, and train for phone and text scams, not just email.
