HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance assessments, gap remediation, policy development, and ongoing audit management.
Security Awareness Training
Live employee training, simulated phishing campaigns, and monthly micro-training to reduce human-error breaches.
Ransomware Protection & Recovery
Layered defenses including immutable backups, network segmentation, and a tested incident response plan for rapid recovery.
Vulnerability Assessments
Scheduled internal and external vulnerability scans with prioritized remediation reports — not just a scan dump.

Security Risk Assessments
Written risk assessments that satisfy HIPAA, cyber insurance, and client security questionnaire requirements.
How It Works
How We Secure Your Charlotte Business
No jargon, no long contracts to start. Just a clear process from assessment to ongoing protection.
Free Security Risk Assessment
We audit your current devices, network, accounts, backups, and compliance status. No sales pressure — just a clear picture of where you stand and what's actually at risk.
Prioritized Remediation Plan
You receive a written report ranking vulnerabilities by risk level. Critical gaps (like no MFA on email) get fixed first. We explain everything in plain language.
Deploy Security Controls
We implement the agreed controls: EDR on all endpoints, MFA across accounts, SIEM monitoring, firewall rules, encrypted backups, and any compliance-specific requirements.
Ongoing Monitoring & Response
24/7 automated monitoring with a human team ready to respond. Monthly security reports show your threat landscape and any incidents handled. Annual re-assessments keep you current.
Compliance
HIPAA, PCI-DSS & SOC 2 Compliance in Charlotte
Compliance violations in Charlotte can mean six-figure fines, loss of the ability to process payments, and severe reputational damage. Royal Nerds helps you get compliant and stay compliant.
- HIPAA: Required for healthcare providers, dental offices, and any business handling patient health information. We handle the full HIPAA Security Rule — risk assessments, policies, BAAs, training, and audit logs.
- PCI-DSS: Required for any Charlotte business accepting credit cards. Restaurants, retailers, and service businesses. We perform the assessment and manage remediation.
- SOC 2 Readiness: For SaaS companies and service providers that need to demonstrate security controls to enterprise clients. We prepare you for the audit.
- Cyber Insurance: Carriers now require MFA, EDR, and documented backup procedures. We implement and document what your broker needs.
Charlotte Businesses Are Targets
Ransomware attacks on small businesses in the Charlotte metro have increased significantly. A single incident costs the average small business $200,000+ in downtime, recovery, and lost revenue — more than enough to close a business permanently.
Most Charlotte SMBs that get hit were not specifically targeted — they were opportunistically hit because they had no monitoring in place. Proactive cybersecurity is almost always cheaper than recovery.
