# Cybersecurity in Austin

Cybersecurity services for Austin and Central Texas — delivered remotely by Amen Security. Startups scale from ten to a hundred people quickly, and SOC 2-style customer security reviews arrive long before anyone owns IT.

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (in force since July 2024) sets consent and data-protection duties for businesses processing Texans’ personal data.

We start with the controls that cut real risk the most — identity, email, endpoints and backups — before any expensive tooling.

## FAQ

### Customers keep sending us security questionnaires — can you help an Austin startup get ready?

Yes. We put the baseline controls in place (MFA, device management, EDR, backups, access reviews) and keep the reporting that questionnaire and SOC 2 readiness work relies on.

### Do you run penetration tests in Austin?

We start with baseline controls and a risk assessment; penetration testing is scoped separately when it adds real value.

### Do you give legal privacy advice?

No. We implement and document the technical controls and work alongside your legal counsel on legal obligations.
