# Cybersecurity in Chicago

Cybersecurity services for Chicago and Chicagoland — delivered remotely by Amen Security. Manufacturers and distributors run older plant-floor systems next to Microsoft 365, and professional firms face client audits of their security controls.

Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) makes fingerprint time clocks and face-based access a real legal exposure, on top of client and insurer security requirements.

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

## FAQ

### We use fingerprint time clocks — does BIPA affect our IT?

It can. We inventory where biometric data is collected and stored, tighten access and retention, and flag consent and policy questions for your legal counsel — we do not give legal advice.

### Do you run penetration tests in Chicago?

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.
