Who We Are
Founded in 2019, Cyber Protect LLC is Michigan’s security-first IT company — a dedicated cybersecurity and managed IT firm built around one core belief: security should never be an afterthought.
We partner with organizations across regulated and growth-stage industries to protect their systems, data, and people from today’s evolving cyber threats. Unlike traditional IT providers who add security as a service line after the fact, we design every engagement with protection as the primary objective — ensuring your technology environment is fortified from the ground up and compliance-ready from day one.
Our mission is to deliver practical, right-sized, enterprise-grade cybersecurity that reduces operational risk, supports sustainable growth, and gives Michigan business leaders the confidence to focus on running their business instead of worrying about their next cyber incident.
Our Approach
At Cyber Protect LLC, cybersecurity is strategic, proactive, and aligned with your business goals — not reactive, not one-size-fits-all, and never an afterthought.
We Assess Your Real-World Risk
Every engagement begins with an honest assessment of your actual exposure — your endpoints, your email environment, your cloud configuration, your backup integrity, and your compliance posture. We identify gaps that others miss and prioritize remediation based on real business impact, not theoretical risk scores.
We Continuously Monitor, Improve, and Respond
Proactive protection means your security posture is always improving, not static. We monitor your environment around the clock, update defenses as threats evolve, and respond in 15 minutes or less when an incident occurs. Our team doesn’t disappear after deployment — we stay engaged as your business grows and your risk profile changes.
We Design Right-Sized Solutions
Your business has a specific industry, a specific compliance landscape, and a specific risk profile. We design cybersecurity programs around those realities — not around a package that was built for a different type of business. Every recommendation is matched to your actual needs, your team size, and your budget.
Security Service
What We Do
Managed Security Services & SOC
Our Security Operations Center provides 24/7 threat monitoring, real-time alerting, and active incident response — giving Michigan businesses enterprise-level coverage without the cost of building an internal security team. We catch and contain threats before they become operational crises.
Endpoint & Network Protection
Unprotected endpoints are the most common ransomware entry point for Michigan SMBs. We deploy and manage endpoint detection and response (EDR), firewall controls, mobile device protection, and network security across your entire environment — stopping threats at the perimeter and inside your network.
Risk Assessments & Penetration Testing
You can’t protect what you don’t understand. Our vulnerability scanning, cyber risk assessments, and penetration testing give you a clear, prioritized picture of your actual exposure — so security investments address real gaps, not assumed ones.
Cloud & Microsoft 365 Security
Cloud platforms are now the primary attack surface for Michigan mid-market businesses. We secure Microsoft 365, Azure, Google Workspace, and other SaaS tools with access controls, monitoring, and configuration hardening that prevent account compromise and data loss.
Compliance & Security Consulting
HIPAA, GLBA, FTC Safeguards Rule, and IRS compliance are mandatory for many Michigan businesses — and compliance failures carry severe financial and reputational consequences. We manage the full compliance lifecycle: risk assessments, policy development, staff training, documentation, and audit preparation.
Business Continuity, Backup & Disaster Recovery
When ransomware strikes or a system fails, how fast you recover determines how much damage is done. We implement immutable, tested backup systems and validated recovery plans that get Michigan businesses back online fast — with the documentation your compliance obligations require.
Security Awareness Training
Human error remains the leading cause of Michigan business breaches. Our phishing simulations and security awareness training programs turn your team from a vulnerability into a measurable line of defense — with the documentation cyber insurance carriers and auditors require.
What Sets Cyber Protect LLC Apart
Right-Sized Security Strategies
Every Michigan organization faces unique risks. We design custom cybersecurity and IT programs based on your operations, industry compliance requirements, team size, and growth plans — so you’re never paying for services you don’t need or missing coverage you do.
Proactive Threat Detection
Using advanced monitoring, behavioral analytics, and continuous threat intelligence, we identify and neutralize threats before they disrupt your business. Proactive protection costs a fraction of what reactive recovery does — and prevents the operational and reputational damage that recovery can’t undo.
Certified Cybersecurity Expertise
Our team holds industry-recognized certifications including CISSP, CEH, and CISM, with 54+ years of combined hands-on experience in cybersecurity, IT, and digital privacy law. You work directly with experienced professionals — not entry-level technicians following a script.
Compliance‑Focused Security
We help Michigan businesses meet and maintain compliance with HIPAA, GLBA, FTC Safeguards Rule, IRS requirements, and Michigan’s data breach notification law (PA 329) — reducing audit stress and regulatory exposure across every engagement. Our 100% client audit pass rate reflects that commitment.
Layered Security Framework
Our multi-layered approach integrates endpoint and network protection, continuous risk assessment, penetration testing, cloud and SaaS security controls, identity management, and backup and recovery — ensuring comprehensive, compliance-ready protection across your entire environment, not just its edges.
24/7 Monitoring & Incident Response
Cyber threats don’t follow business hours — and neither do we. Our Security Operations Center provides round-the-clock monitoring and a 15-minute average response time for active incidents, ensuring your Michigan business is protected at all times with a team that responds faster than attackers can escalate.
Our Mission
To deliver enterprise-grade, right-sized cybersecurity and IT services that protect Michigan businesses from today’s threats, maintain compliance with evolving regulations, and give business leaders the confidence to focus on growth instead of risk.
Our Vision
Who We Serve
We work with Michigan organizations that understand cybersecurity isn’t optional — it’s a business requirement. Our clients share a common need: enterprise-grade protection without enterprise overhead.
✔ Small and Mid-Sized Businesses - Michigan SMBs gain access to the same layered protection, proactive monitoring, and compliance programs that large enterprises use — scaled to their actual team size, budget, and risk profile. No internal IT department required.
✔ Regulated Industries - Legal, healthcare, financial services, and accounting firms operating under HIPAA, GLBA, or the FTC Safeguards Rule partner with us to maintain continuous compliance, pass audits, and protect the sensitive data their clients trust them with.
✔ Growing Organizations Without In-House Security Teams - As Michigan businesses grow, their attack surface grows with them. We serve as their dedicated security team — proactive monitoring, strategic guidance, incident response, and compliance management — without the cost of building an internal department.
✔ Organizations Needing Supplemental Expertise - Larger Michigan businesses with existing IT teams augment their internal capabilities with our specialized cybersecurity expertise, vCISO services, penetration testing, and SOC coverage — filling gaps that generalist IT staff aren’t equipped to address.

A Message from Our Founder
When I started Cyber Protect LLC in 2019, I had one goal: give Michigan small and mid-sized businesses access to the same quality of cybersecurity protection that large enterprises take for granted — without the enterprise price tag or the complexity that comes with it.
I’d spent years watching Michigan businesses get hit by attacks that were entirely preventable. Ransomware locking a law firm’s case files. A phishing email draining a small manufacturer’s bank account. A healthcare practice facing a HIPAA investigation because their IT vendor didn’t think security was their job. These weren’t failures of technology — they were failures of approach.
Most IT companies treat security as an add-on. We built Cyber Protect as a security company first. Every service we deliver, every recommendation we make, every tool we deploy starts with the question: does this actually protect the business? Not ‘does this look good on a proposal’ or ‘does this increase our margin’ — does it genuinely reduce risk for the people who trust us with their business.
Our team brings 54+ years of combined experience in cybersecurity, IT, and digital privacy law. We serve businesses that can’t afford to be wrong about security — and we take that responsibility seriously every day.
If you’re ready to stop worrying about cyber threats and start building real, lasting protection for your Michigan business, I’d welcome the conversation.
Sincerely,
Cheyenne Harden
Owner, Cyber Protect LLC
