State Line Data Security

Know where you stand.

Most small offices are required to do more about security than anyone has ever told them. We tell you plainly what applies to you, what shape you're in, and what to fix first.

A two-person practice serving dental and medical offices, law firms, and manufacturers across Michiana and southwest Michigan.

Where most practices actually are

No risk analysis,
no written policies
Documented,
current, defensible

Nobody starts at the right-hand end. The useful question isn't whether you have gaps — it's which ones matter and what order to close them in.

Who we help

Businesses too small to hire a security director, and too regulated to ignore the question.

Dental and medical practices

HIPAA requires a security risk analysis every year, and it's the first document requested after a complaint or breach. Most independent practices have never had one done.

Law firms

Insurance renewals now hinge on multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, and a written incident response plan. Corporate clients are starting to ask outside counsel the same questions.

Manufacturers and warehousing

If you supply into defense work, primes are pushing NIST 800-171 and CMMC requirements down to their suppliers. We sort out what actually applies to your contracts today.

Where most people start

Fixed fees, quoted before we begin. No hardware to buy, no software to license, no surprises on the invoice.

$3,500–6,500

HIPAA security risk analysis

The assessment the rule requires annually, delivered as a report you can hand to a regulator, an insurer, or a buyer — plus a plain-language plan for what to fix first.

$2,500–4,500

Cyber insurance readiness

We work the renewal application with you and close the gaps behind the questions, so the answers are honest and the premium reflects it.

$2,500–5,000

AI use policy and review

Your staff are already using AI tools. We find out which ones, write rules everyone can follow, and keep client and patient information out of them.

Ongoing plans from $1,500 a month Annual risk assessment, policy upkeep, staff training, and someone to call — for practices that would rather not think about this again until we bring it up.

About us

We're a married couple building this where we live, for the businesses we live among.

The security work

Five-plus years across IT governance, security leadership, and hands-on engineering — including rolling out mandatory multi-factor authentication at enterprise scale. Assessments, policy, compliance, and incident response are handled directly, not passed to a junior analyst.

Everything around it

Client communication, onboarding, scheduling, and the documents themselves. It's the reason working with a two-person firm feels organized rather than overloaded, and the reason you get answers the same week you ask.

We're advisors, not a managed service provider. We don't resell hardware or software, and we don't replace your IT company — we work alongside them, and we'll tell you when the answer is that you don't need us.

Start with a conversation

Twenty minutes, no charge, no pitch. We'll tell you what applies to your practice and whether it's worth doing anything about it. If it isn't, we'll say so.
