Sector Briefing

PROTECT THE PAYMENT, FROM BID TO FINAL DRAW

Construction runs on email, big outbound payments, and a steady stream of subs, vendors, and lenders. That is exactly why attackers target it. One fake change-of-banking email can reroute a six-figure draw before your controller picks up the phone. We lock down the inboxes, payment steps, and project files where contractors actually lose money, and we do it without slowing the jobsite down.

Threat Profile

WHERE CONSTRUCTION GETS HIT

01

Wire & Draw Fraud (Business Email Compromise)

An attacker quietly reads a hacked inbox, waits for a real invoice or progress draw, then emails new banking details that look legitimate. The money is gone before anyone calls the GC to confirm. This is the highest-dollar threat in construction, full stop.

02

Stolen or Altered Bids

When estimates, takeoffs, and proposal pricing leak to a competitor (or get changed in transit) you lose the job, the margin, or both. Casual file sharing and unmanaged email make that easy for an outsider or a departing employee.

03

Fake Vendors & Subcontractors

With dozens of subs, suppliers, and lenders on every project, one lookalike domain or hacked partner account blends right in. A single trusted-looking request can reroute a payment or hand over a password.

04

Lost Phones, Tablets & Trailer Laptops

Devices in the field get lost, stolen, or left unpatched. Without encryption and central control, every missing device is an open door into your project files, photos, and email.

Our Approach

DEFENSE IN DEPTH

We never rely on a single control. We layer protection around your business, so one failure never becomes a breach.

Defense in depth: layered protection wrapping the business — email and perimeter, identity and access, devices and endpoints, cloud and data.

How We Engage

OUR PLAYBOOK

01

Payment & Email Fraud Defense

Login security (MFA), email filtering tuned to catch phishing and spoofing, a written process to verify any banking change, and monitoring for lookalike domains, so a fake payment request gets caught before money moves.

02

Bid & Project File Security

Controlled, logged access to estimates, plans, and contracts in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, so the right people get the files and competitors and ex-employees do not.

03

Managed IT Built for the Field

Device management, encryption, and patching for trailers, tablets, and phones, plus support that picks up fast, because a deadline will not wait on a help-desk queue.

Field-Proven

When a construction client got hit by a business email compromise, we ran the investigation and recovery — tracing how the attacker got in, shutting it down, and rebuilding their email defenses so it would not happen twice.
