Cybersecurity in Raleigh

Security built for how Raleigh does business

The Research Triangle runs on ideas. Contract research organizations and biotech firms in and around Research Triangle Park, software and SaaS companies in downtown Raleigh and Durham, and the university spin-outs coming out of NC State, Duke and UNC all hold something valuable: clinical trial data, unpublished research, source code and the customer data that comes with fast growth.

That value draws attention, from ransomware crews to groups that steal intellectual property for a living. And as Triangle companies sell to pharma sponsors and enterprise buyers, the security questionnaires arrive early. StrikeProof helps Raleigh-area companies test their applications and cloud environments, monitor identities and endpoints around the clock, and build the SOC 2 and HIPAA evidence partners ask for before they share data or sign a contract.

The local threat landscape

What Raleigh businesses are up against

Attackers go where the money and the data are. In the Research Triangle, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.

Intellectual property theft

Research data, compound information and source code are targeted by criminal and state-backed groups who would rather steal years of work than repeat it.

Identity attacks on fast-growing teams

Rapid hiring means new accounts, new laptops and new SaaS tools every week. Attackers exploit forgotten accounts, weak onboarding and MFA fatigue to get in.

Vendor and sponsor risk

CROs and software firms sit in the middle of long data chains. A compromise at a partner, or at you, can expose a sponsor’s trial data or a customer’s records.

Every breach

Breach and privacy law in North Carolina

In North Carolina, the Attorney General hears about every breach

North Carolina’s Identity Theft Protection Act requires businesses to notify affected residents without unreasonable delay, and unlike many states it also requires notice to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division for any breach, whatever the number of people affected. Credit reporting agencies must be told when more than 1,000 people are notified at once. The same law limits how Social Security numbers can be used and requires records to be destroyed securely. Clear forensic findings make that notice accurate the first time.

Raleigh FAQ

Cybersecurity in Raleigh: common questions

A pharma sponsor sent us a long security questionnaire. Can you help?

Yes. We assess your controls against what the sponsor is asking, close the gaps that matter, and help you answer with evidence rather than promises. Many Triangle companies use the same work toward a SOC 2 report so the next questionnaire is easier.

Do we have to report a small breach to the North Carolina Attorney General?

North Carolina’s law requires notice to the Attorney General’s office regardless of how many residents are affected, so even a small incident can trigger it. Your attorney should make the call on notice; we give them the forensic facts they need to make it.

We think we’ve been breached. How fast can you help a Raleigh business?

Call our 24/7 incident response line at +1 (253) 448-3030. We’re remote-first, so we begin containment and forensics over secure remote access within minutes of your call, with no waiting for someone to drive to your office.

Do you offer penetration testing for Raleigh companies?

Yes. We test external and internal networks, web applications, cloud environments and your people (phishing), and deliver a prioritized report your team can act on, followed by a retest once fixes are in.

Does it matter that StrikeProof isn’t based in Raleigh?

Not for the work we do. Monitoring, testing, compliance and incident response are all delivered over secure remote connections, so a business in the Research Triangle gets the same team, the same speed and the same price as one next door to our Tacoma headquarters.
