Cybersecurity for
Painting Companies
Your painting business handles customer deposits, project estimates, and crew scheduling through digital tools every day. Protect it all from email fraud and ransomware with 24/7 monitoring.
Why Painting Companies
Are a Growing Target
Painting contractors are adopting digital tools for estimating, scheduling, CRM, and online payments — expanding their attack surface. BEC attackers impersonate business owners or suppliers to redirect deposit payments and final invoices. Customer data including addresses, payment info, and property access details is valuable to criminals. Ransomware can shut down scheduling and estimating during peak season.
Cyber Unit protects painting companies with the same enterprise-grade security that Fortune 500 companies use — without the Fortune 500 price tag. We secure your email, protect devices in the field 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.
