Cybersecurity in San Diego

Security built for how San Diego does business

San Diego hosts one of the largest concentrations of naval forces in the country, along with the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command in Old Town and the defense and communications companies that work for it. Up the coast, the life sciences cluster in Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley runs on research data and intellectual property, and in the south, Otay Mesa is one of the busiest commercial crossings on the U.S.–Mexico border.

Each of those worlds brings its own security demands. Defense suppliers face CMMC and federal incident-reporting rules, biotech companies need to protect years of research and the clinical data behind it, and logistics firms deal with constant payment fraud. StrikeProof helps San Diego businesses with penetration testing, 24/7 monitoring, framework readiness and incident response built around the threats they actually face.

Navy and defense contractors

NIST SP 800-171 controls, CMMC readiness and 72-hour DFARS incident reporting that works under pressure.

Biotech and life sciences

Protection for research data and lab systems, access control for partners and CROs, and security due diligence for investors.

Cross-border trade and logistics

Email and payment-fraud defenses, and resilient systems for operations that span two countries.

Tourism and hospitality

PCI DSS compliance, separation of guest and business networks, and protection for booking and loyalty data.

The local threat landscape

What San Diego businesses are up against

Attackers go where the money and the data are. In San Diego County, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.

Espionage against defense suppliers

State-backed groups target the Navy’s suppliers for designs and program data, often by compromising smaller subcontractors with weaker defenses than the primes.

Research and IP theft

Biotech and pharmaceutical firms hold drug candidates, trial data and lab results worth years of work. Attackers steal it for resale or extortion.

Cross-border payment fraud

Import, export and maquiladora supply chains involve many parties and frequent payments, which makes them ideal for spoofed invoices and changed bank details.

30 days
Breach and privacy law in California

California now sets a breach deadline, and a weak defense can mean a lawsuit

California requires businesses to notify affected residents of a breach of personal information, and since January 1, 2026 that notice is due within 30 calendar days of discovery, with limited room for law enforcement needs. A sample notice goes to the Attorney General when more than 500 Californians are notified. Under the CCPA, consumers can sue for statutory damages when certain personal information is breached because a business failed to maintain reasonable security. For defense suppliers, federal rules sit on top: DFARS clauses require cyber incidents to be reported to the Department of Defense within 72 hours.

San Diego FAQ

Cybersecurity in San Diego: common questions

What does “reasonable security” mean under California law?
California doesn’t define it line by line, which is why many businesses measure themselves against an established framework such as the CIS Controls or NIST. Your attorney can advise on your legal exposure; we can test your defenses, close the gaps and document what you’ve done.
Our biotech company is raising money. Will investors ask about security?
Increasingly, yes, especially when you hold clinical or partner data. A recent penetration test, a clear picture of where your data lives and basic monitoring give you good answers for due diligence, and a head start on any later SOC 2 or HIPAA work.
We think we’ve been breached. How fast can you help a San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego?
Not for the work we do. Monitoring, testing, compliance and incident response are all delivered over secure remote connections, so a business in San Diego County gets the same team, the same speed and the same price as one next door to our Tacoma headquarters.
