Cybersecurity Services in Pittsburgh

Most security incidents we see at small and mid-market companies start the same way: a reused password, a convincing phishing email, an unpatched server, or a vendor account no one was watching. PGH Networks provides cybersecurity services in Pittsburgh that close those gaps with layered controls, 24/7 monitoring and clear answers, so leadership can make confident decisions and your team can keep working.

Who this is for

This page is for owners, operations leaders and IT managers at Pittsburgh-area businesses who need real protection but don't have a full in-house security team. You might be evaluating coverage for the first time, replacing a provider that only handles the help desk, or facing a customer or insurance security questionnaire that suddenly has teeth.

• Businesses without a dedicated security leader. Most of our clients have 15 or more employees, and some have more than 300.
• Regulated organizations working under HIPAA, CMMC or SOC 2 requirements.
• Professional services firms, manufacturers, medical practices and financial firms across the Pittsburgh metro.
• Leaders who want plain-English risk reporting, not 80-page scan dumps.

What's included

Our cybersecurity services are a connected program, not a pile of disconnected tools. We start with a detailed discovery and interview process, find the highest-impact gaps, and then run the controls day to day. The mix below is sized to your business, your compliance scope and your budget.

Risk assessment and security roadmap

We review your identity systems, endpoints, network, cloud tenants, backups and administrative practices. You get a prioritized roadmap with cost estimates and a clear picture of which risks to address first, which to accept and which to transfer to insurance. For regulated clients, we map findings to the framework you answer to, such as the HIPAA Security Rule, CMMC or SOC 2.

Managed detection and response (MDR)

Every server and workstation we protect runs Huntress managed endpoint detection and response (EDR), watched around the clock by Huntress's security operations center. Suspicious behavior, such as credential theft, an attacker moving between machines or the early steps of ransomware, gets investigated by a person, not just turned into an email alert. With your approval, host isolation is fully automated: a compromised machine is cut off from the network as soon as a threat is confirmed, and our team cleans it up.

Identity, email and Microsoft 365 hardening

Identity is the new perimeter. We enforce multifactor authentication, conditional access and least-privilege admin roles across Microsoft 365, and we shut off the legacy sign-in paths attackers commonly exploit. Huntress Identity adds identity threat detection for Microsoft 365, watching for suspicious sign-ins and malicious inbox rules so a stolen password is caught early. Email runs through Mimecast for filtering, impersonation detection and link protection, and we align your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so others can't easily spoof your domain.

Network, firewall and vulnerability management

We design and manage firewalls, segmentation, secure remote access and DNS filtering, and we work with both Fortinet and Check Point. Clients who add vulnerability management get recurring internal and external scans, and patching runs through our managed IT operations on NinjaOne RMM, so findings get fixed rather than logged and forgotten.

Security awareness training and phishing simulation

People remain the most targeted control. Security awareness training pairs short, regular lessons with realistic phishing simulations, so managers can see where coaching is needed. Topics cover social engineering, credential theft, business email compromise and safe use of AI tools.

Backup, recovery and incident response

Encrypted, offsite backups through Cove Backup are verified, and every Cove backup includes an isolated, immutable copy that ransomware cannot alter or delete, so a ransomware event is a bad day, not the end of the business. If an incident happens, our documented incident-response procedures cover containment, coordination with forensics firms, support with regulatory and cyber-insurance notification, and recovery, with documentation your lawyers and your carrier can review.

Compliance support

For clients pursuing or maintaining HIPAA, CMMC or SOC 2, we maintain the technical evidence, policies and control narratives auditors expect, and formal compliance attestation is available as an add-on. We work alongside your auditor or assessor, not against them.

Cyber Insurance Requirements

Most carriers now ask for MFA, EDR or MDR, immutable offsite backups, security awareness training and timely patching before they will write or renew a policy. We deploy each of those controls and give you the documentation for your renewal questionnaire. If you have a questionnaire in hand, bring it to the discovery call.

Why PGH Networks

Owner-operated since 2013, PGH Networks provides cybersecurity services in Pittsburgh from our office at 400 Holiday Drive.

We're a team of 25 supporting about 150 client businesses across Allegheny, Washington, Westmoreland, Butler and Beaver counties, including Pittsburgh, Cranberry Township, Robinson, Monroeville, Bethel Park, Wexford, Greensburg and Washington. Local presence matters: when an incident happens, an engineer can be on site the same day for most of the metro, and we already know the regional carriers, vendors and compliance landscape.

Monitoring runs 24/7, and on-call technicians cover all of our managed services after hours and on weekends. Our engineers hold several Microsoft certifications, along with endpoint and backup platform certifications, and we work inside HIPAA, CMMC and SOC 2 requirements regularly.

Because cybersecurity sits inside a broader practice that includes managed IT, cloud services and AI workflows, the controls we recommend fit the way your business actually runs, including how your team is starting to use AI tools. We don't sell fear, and we don't oversell tooling. We tell you what you need, what it costs and what it does. Start with a discovery call.
