Cybersecurity for business: reducing exposure before the incident happens

We review access, configurations, perimeter and backups, tell you where the real exposure is, and in what order it is worth fixing.

In most companies a breach does not come from a sophisticated attack. It comes from a password shared between four people, an account still active months after the employee left, a server published to the internet nobody remembers exposing, or a backup that was never tested.

That is what we work on: risk assessment, vulnerability management, hardening of servers and workstations, access control and MFA, network security with firewall and VPN, endpoint protection, backup and operational continuity, and cloud environment security. As a cybersecurity company in the Dominican Republic, our criterion is simple: first whatever reduces the most exposure with the effort available.

What it includes

Risk and vulnerability assessment

Review of infrastructure, systems and configurations to find where exposure sits: published services, unpatched versions, default configurations and single points of failure.

Access control and MFA

Review of users, permissions and privileged accounts: who has access to what, which accounts should be disabled, and where a second authentication factor should be required.

Server and endpoint hardening

Closing unnecessary services, correcting default configurations, defining an update policy, and reviewing permissions on shared resources.

Network and perimeter security

Segmentation, firewall rules that reflect the real operation, remote access over VPN, and a review of what is exposed to the internet.

Endpoint protection

Review of coverage across workstations: protection installed and active, updates current, and control over what can run or connect.

Backup and operational continuity

A backup scheme with off-site copies and restore testing, plus the plan for what happens if a critical system becomes unavailable.

Business benefits

  • Knowing where you are exposed

    The output is a concrete inventory of findings with their impact, not a general feeling of being protected or not.

  • An order of remediation, not an endless list

    Findings come prioritised by impact and effort, so budget goes first to whatever reduces risk most.

  • Less attack surface

    Orphaned accounts disabled, unnecessary services closed, and access trimmed to what each person actually needs.

  • Verified ability to recover

    A tested backup turns a serious incident into an interruption measured in hours rather than a loss of information.

  • Control over who gets in, and from where

    MFA, VPN and access policies reduce the chance that a leaked credential becomes real access.

How we work

  1. Discovery

    We establish which systems are critical, which information is sensitive, who accesses what, and what specifically worries the business.

  2. Technical assessment

    Review of infrastructure, configurations, access, perimeter, endpoints and backups against recognised good practice.

  3. Prioritised findings

    A report with what was found, the impact of each finding, and a remediation order based on risk versus effort.

  4. Remediation and hardening

    Depending on scope, we apply the fixes or support your team while they implement them.

  5. Follow-up

    A later review to confirm that what was fixed stayed fixed, because configuration drifts with every change.

What we can address

  • Risk assessment and vulnerability management
  • Review of access, permissions and privileged accounts
  • MFA rollout and password policy
  • Hardening of servers, workstations and services
  • Firewall, VPN and network segmentation
  • Endpoint protection and update control
  • Backup, recovery and operational continuity
  • Cloud and hybrid environment security
  • Controls for compliance with Ley 172-13 on personal data protection
  • Connection-log retention under the Ley 53-07 regulation
  • Configuration review after rapid growth
  • Good practice and team awareness
  • Security across existing IT infrastructure

Right if you handle sensitive data or indispensable systems

Companies whose operation stops if a system becomes unavailable, and organisations handling client data, financial information or sensitive documentation. Also those that grew quickly and now carry access, services and equipment nobody has reviewed since they were first configured.

Why CoreTech

We are the ones designing and implementing the infrastructure, so recommendations come from running real environments and are actionable rather than a generic checklist. We are also explicit about scope: we do assessment, hardening and support — not offensive penetration testing or 24/7 monitoring. If your case needs that, we say so instead of selling it.

Frequently asked questions

A report with the findings, the impact of each, and a remediation order prioritised by risk and effort, plus the technical detail of what has to change. Exact scope is agreed before we start.

Yes, because the question is not whether they exist but whether they are configured properly and cover what needs covering. The most frequent findings are configuration and access issues: active accounts that should be closed, inherited firewall rules, and services exposed without need.

Our scope is assessment of configurations, access, known vulnerabilities and architecture, plus the corresponding hardening. We do not run offensive penetration tests or red team exercises; when a case calls for that, we say so openly.

Yes, that is the usual scenario. We analyse the current environment (networks, servers, access, configurations, backups) and propose improvements on top of it, without proposing a full replacement unless something is out of support or beyond reasonable repair.

Two reach almost any company. Ley 172-13 on personal data protection requires express consent for sensitive data and sets conditions on international data transfers. Ley 53-07 on high-technology crimes, through its INDOTEL regulation, requires service providers to retain traffic and connection data for a minimum of ninety days. There is also a cybersecurity management bill approved in second reading in the Senate that would create a National Cybersecurity Centre and regulate critical infrastructure. We are not lawyers: we handle the technical side — access control, traceability, retention and backup — and recommend reviewing the legal scope with an adviser.

That is the most useful part of the work. Findings are ordered by impact and effort, so the first phase usually concentrates the largest risk reduction for the smallest investment.

Start with an assessment: we review access, configurations, perimeter and backups, and hand you the findings ordered by priority.
