Cybersecurity for
Electrical Contractors
Your electrical contracting business manages project bids, subcontractor payments, and permit documentation through digital tools. Protect it all from email fraud and ransomware with 24/7 monitoring.
Why Electrical Contractors
Are a Growing Target
Electrical contractors work on projects ranging from residential service to large commercial builds, handling bids, progress payments, material orders, and subcontractor coordination through email. BEC attackers study these workflows and impersonate GCs, suppliers, or the business owner to redirect payments. Ransomware targeting estimating and project management tools can halt bidding and active projects.
Growing reliance on cloud-based tools for takeoffs, scheduling, and communication expands the attack surface. Cyber Unit protects electrical contractors with enterprise-grade security — tightly integrated with our Managed IT Services so there are no gaps between your IT support and your security team. Take our free security assessment to see where your business stands.

Integrated with IT
Security and IT work together. Faster response, complete visibility, seamless coordination.

Cybersecurity for Electrical Contractors
FAQ
Why do electrical contractors need cybersecurity?
Electrical contractors handle project bids, permits, subcontractor payments, and customer invoices through email and cloud tools. BEC attackers target payment flows — impersonating GCs, suppliers, or the business owner to redirect funds. Ransomware can lock estimating, project management, and accounting systems, halting active jobs and new bids.
How does Cyber Unit protect electrical contractors from email fraud?
Email security stops BEC attacks targeting progress payments, material purchase orders, and GC correspondence. Security awareness training teaches estimators, PMs, and office staff to verify payment requests. Protection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace keeps your inbox secure.
Can Cyber Unit protect devices used by electricians in the field?
Yes. Endpoint protection covers tablets, laptops, and phones used by electricians, foremen, and estimators for blueprints, work orders, photos, and communication. 24/7 monitoring whether connected at the shop, on a job site, or at home.
