Cybersecurity in Richmond

Security built for how Richmond does business

Richmond is where Virginia’s money and government meet. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, large banking and card operations in the West End and Innsbrook corridor, insurers and wealth managers sit alongside the law, accounting and consulting firms around Capitol Square that serve them and the Commonwealth. A large community of firms also contracts with state agencies and federal customers.

That mix draws financially motivated attackers and patient, quiet ones. Business email compromise targets the wires and closings that move through Richmond firms every day, while contractors are probed for access to the agencies they serve. StrikeProof helps Richmond organizations find their exposures with penetration testing, watch identities, email and endpoints around the clock, and respond quickly with findings that stand up to regulators, clients and contracting officers.

Banking, card and wealth management

Penetration testing, 24/7 monitoring, fraud-resistant identity controls and evidence for examiners and the FTC Safeguards Rule.

Law, accounting and title firms

Email and wire-fraud defense, protection for privileged client files and answers to clients’ security questionnaires.

State and federal contractors

NIST-based controls, documented security programs and incident reporting that meets contract terms.

Healthcare

HIPAA safeguards, ransomware defense and monitoring for systems that can’t go down.

The local threat landscape

What Richmond businesses are up against

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

Wire and closing fraud

Attackers compromise or spoof mailboxes at law firms, title companies and lenders, then send new payment instructions at exactly the moment a large transfer is expected.

Attacks through government contractors

Firms with access to state or federal systems are used as stepping stones. A contractor’s VPN account or shared credentials can be the easiest door into an agency.

Credential stuffing and account takeover

Banks, fintechs and online services face constant automated login attempts using passwords leaked elsewhere, followed by fraud once an account falls.

VCDPA
Breach and privacy law in Virginia

Virginia’s privacy act, its breach law and the payroll rule employers miss

The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act requires businesses that process large volumes of Virginians’ personal data to maintain reasonable security practices and honor consumer rights, enforced by the Attorney General. Virginia’s breach law requires notice to affected residents and the Attorney General without unreasonable delay, and to the credit reporting agencies when more than 1,000 people are notified. It also contains a less known rule: employers and payroll providers must notify the Attorney General when employees’ taxpayer identification and withholding information is breached, even if no one else must be told.

Richmond FAQ

Cybersecurity in Richmond: common questions

A phishing email got into our payroll system. Do we have to tell the Attorney General?
Possibly. Virginia has a specific notice requirement for breaches of employees’ taxpayer and withholding information, separate from its general breach law. Your attorney should decide; we’ll establish quickly what was accessed and give them the facts to decide with.
We’re a small wealth management firm. What does the FTC Safeguards Rule require?
In general, a written security program with a qualified person responsible for it, a risk assessment, multi-factor sign-in, encryption, monitoring or annual penetration testing, and notice to the FTC of certain larger breaches. We help you put those pieces in place and keep the evidence.
We think we’ve been breached. How fast can you help a Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond?
Not for the work we do. Monitoring, testing, compliance and incident response are all delivered over secure remote connections, so a business in the Richmond region gets the same team, the same speed and the same price as one next door to our Tacoma headquarters.
