Cybersecurity That Doesn’t Cut Corners
Many IT providers say they “do security,” but most only cover the basics. At Equinox, we take a multi-layer approach to cybersecurity. We protect your people, data, and systems at every level.

​​​​​​​That includes next-gen antivirus, patch management, firewall reviews, phishing protection, and 24/7 monitoring for unusual activity. We even run simulated attacks to help train your staff.

Why does this matter? Because cyber threats today don’t just target big companies. They hit small businesses hard. We help you meet HIPAA, PCI, and other compliance needs without the stress, so your business stays protected, productive, and in control.

See Problems Before They Happen
Most IT support waits for things to break. We don’t. Equinox uses advanced monitoring tools that constantly scan your systems, flag early warning signs, and fix small issues before they cause big problems.

​​​​​​​Our backup systems run quietly in the background, ensuring your data is always protected and recoverable, even during a crisis.

​​​​​​​And you won’t be left in the dark. Every client receives clear, detailed reports showing what’s working, what needs attention, and where your systems can improve. No confusing tech terms either. Just useful insights that help you stay productive and protected.
