Cybersecurity for
Construction Companies
GCs and construction firms manage millions in project funds, subcontractor payments, and sensitive bid data. Protect it all with 24/7 monitoring from a team that understands construction.
Why Construction Companies
Are a Top Target
Construction companies handle high-value payment workflows — draw requests, subcontractor invoices, change orders, retainage releases. BEC attackers study these workflows and impersonate project owners, GCs, or subs to redirect payments. Ransomware targeting estimating software and project schedules can halt active jobs. Growing reliance on cloud-based project management (Procore, Buildertrend, etc.) expands the attack surface.
Cyber Unit protects construction companies with the same enterprise-grade security that Fortune 500 companies use — without the Fortune 500 price tag. We secure your email, protect devices on job sites and in the office, train your team to spot scams, and monitor everything 24/7. And because security is tightly integrated with our Managed IT Services, there are no gaps between your IT support and your security team — because we're both. Take our free security assessment to see where your business stands.

Security That Works
With Your IT — Not Against It
Most security providers operate in a silo. They protect your systems but can't fix them. When something goes wrong, you're caught between vendors. Cyber Unit is different — we combine security and IT expertise under one roof.
Integrated Security & IT
Our security team knows your IT environment because they work with your IT team — or are your IT team. One team, complete visibility.
Faster Incident Response
When we detect a threat, we don't just alert you — we contain and remediate it. Security and IT working together means faster recovery.
Strategic Reporting
Monthly security reports and quarterly QBRs keep you informed. Your dedicated account manager translates security data into business insights.
AI + Human Expertise
AI detects threats instantly. Human analysts investigate and respond. You get the speed of automation with the judgment of experts.
- Security siloed from IT
- Alerts without action
- Generic security products
- Per-incident billing
- No strategic guidance

Ransomware can lock estimating software, project schedules, and accounting systems, halting active jobs.
How does Cyber Unit protect construction companies from payment fraud?
Email security stops BEC attacks targeting draw requests, change orders, and subcontractor payments. Security awareness training teaches office staff and PMs to verify payment changes. Protection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace ensures your email environment stays locked down.
Can Cyber Unit protect devices used on construction sites?
Yes. Endpoint protection covers laptops, tablets, and phones used by superintendents, PMs, and estimators on job sites. 24/7 monitoring regardless of connection location. We also secure cloud-based project management and estimating tools like Procore and Buildertrend.
