Cybersecurity in Tampa

Security built for how Tampa does business

MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command, has drawn a cluster of defense contractors to Tampa Bay, from the Westshore business district to the small firms supporting the base. Alongside them sit the operations centers of national banks, brokerages and insurers, the region’s hospital systems and health plans, and the shipping and logistics businesses around Port Tampa Bay.

Those sectors share a problem: they hold data that’s regulated, valuable and sought after, and they often depend on vendors for parts of their IT. StrikeProof helps Tampa Bay companies test what an attacker could reach, monitor their environments around the clock, prepare for CMMC and other framework assessments, and bring in incident response at any hour, including when a storm has already put the office out of action.

Defense contractors near MacDill

NIST SP 800-171 controls, CMMC readiness and incident reporting that meets DFARS deadlines.

Port and logistics firms

The local threat landscape

What Tampa businesses are up against

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

Targeting of defense suppliers

Contractors supporting the commands at MacDill hold controlled information that nation-state groups actively pursue, often by phishing staff or compromising smaller subcontractors.

Vendor and third-party breaches

Financial and healthcare firms here lean on outsourced call centers, processors and software vendors. A breach at one of them can expose your customers’ data before you know it happened.

Attacks timed to disruption

Criminals exploit hurricane season and other crises with fake relief, insurance and payment emails, and attacks land harder when teams are working from temporary setups.

30 days

Breach and privacy law in Florida

Florida’s 30-day clock reaches your vendors too

Florida’s Information Protection Act gives businesses 30 days after determining a breach to notify affected people, with up to 15 more days available only for good cause, and requires notice to the Department of Legal Affairs within the same 30 days when 500 or more Floridians are affected. The law also binds your vendors: a third party that maintains personal information for you must report a breach to you within 10 days. Because Tampa firms so often outsource processing, contracts that spell out those duties, and monitoring that catches problems on your side quickly, matter as much as the statute itself.

Tampa FAQ

Cybersecurity in Tampa: common questions

We subcontract to a prime at MacDill. When do we need CMMC?

CMMC requirements are being phased into Department of Defense contracts, and primes are flowing them down to subcontractors that handle Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. We help you scope which level applies, implement the NIST SP 800-171 controls and prepare for assessment. Certification itself comes from an authorized assessor.

How do we keep security running through a hurricane?

Plan for it before the season starts. Cloud-based monitoring and remote incident response don’t depend on your office having power, so the work is mostly about tested backups, documented contacts and a response plan your team has actually rehearsed.

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

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