Locked down by design
Deadbolt is a security and IT consultancy for small businesses, healthcare practices, and transport companies across Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. Assessments, compliance documentation, and ongoing coverage. Practical work, explained in language your staff can actually follow.
What I do
Most clients come in through a fixed-price assessment, then move to ongoing coverage once they can see what's actually going on in their environment.
Monitoring, testing, and response for teams without a security department.
The documentation and evidence an auditor, insurer, or client actually asks for.
Day-to-day IT coverage for businesses too small to justify a full-time hire.
Who I work with
Client names are kept private by default. The work speaks without them.
A DFW-based carrier running fractional IT, email infrastructure, and endpoint coverage.
A therapy practice covering HIPAA documentation, access control, and staff training.
Teams of 5–50 with no in-house IT and no one owning security.
How I work
Every engagement ends with something you can actually use: a written report, a prioritized remediation list, and a walkthrough call where I explain what I found in language your staff can follow. No 60-page PDF export from a scanner with a logo dropped on the cover.
Everything I deploy for a client gets built and tested in my own lab environment first: detection rules, endpoint monitoring, directory and access changes. Your business isn't where I find out whether something works.
Most engagements start with a short call to figure out where the actual risk is. No pitch deck, no pressure. If a fixed-price assessment isn't the right move, I'll say so.
