Cybersecurity Services in Savannah, GA | COMNEXIA

Savannah-area businesses face the same ransomware, phishing, and credential-theft campaigns that have shut down manufacturers along the I-16 corridor, disrupted logistics firms near the Port of Savannah, and exposed auto dealerships statewide to FTC enforcement actions. COMNEXIA, headquartered in Roswell, GA since 1991, delivers layered, documented cybersecurity to Chatham County businesses that cannot afford a breach or a regulatory fine. This page explains exactly what we deploy, how we configure it, and what your team will see every month.

Why Savannah Businesses Face Elevated Cyber Risk Right Now

The Port of Savannah makes Chatham County one of the busiest freight hubs on the East Coast, and that supply-chain density attracts attackers who use vendor-impersonation phishing to compromise businesses that process invoices, bills of lading, or payment card data. Auto dealerships operating CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, or Dealertrack dealer management systems are separately required under the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314, effective June 2023) to maintain a written information-security program, conduct annual penetration testing, and implement access controls including multi-factor authentication. Businesses that handle payment cards must also maintain PCI DSS compliance. Generic antivirus and a firewall do not satisfy either standard.

What COMNEXIA Deploys: Named Controls, Not Vague Promises

Every cybersecurity engagement begins with a documented baseline assessment that maps your current endpoints, user accounts, backup state, and patch exposure before a single tool is installed. From that baseline, we build and configure the following controls:

• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR/MDR): We deploy SentinelOne EDR on every managed Windows and macOS endpoint. SentinelOne's behavioral AI detects fileless malware and living-off-the-land attacks that signature-based antivirus misses, and it rolls back encrypted files autonomously when ransomware executes. Endpoints are enrolled through NinjaOne RMM so patch status and agent health are visible in a single pane.
• Identity and Access Controls: We configure Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) conditional access policies that block sign-in attempts from non-compliant devices, enforce phishing-resistant MFA for all users, and require Entra ID-joined or Intune-enrolled endpoints before granting access to Microsoft 365 or your DMS. For dealerships, this directly addresses the FTC Safeguards Rule requirement for access controls and MFA on customer financial data.
• 24/7 SOC Monitoring: Alerts from SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and your firewall feed into a security operations center that monitors around the clock. When an alert triggers, a human analyst reviews it, not just an automated script. You receive a documented incident report for anything escalated beyond low severity.
• Immutable, Off-Site Backups (3-2-1 Architecture): We configure three copies of your data across two media types, with one copy stored off-site in a cloud target that is write-once and cannot be deleted or encrypted by ransomware. Backup jobs are verified daily, and restore tests are documented in your monthly report. This satisfies the FTC Safeguards Rule's data-recovery requirement and removes negotiating leverage from ransomware actors.
• Phishing-Simulation and Security-Awareness Training: We run monthly simulated phishing campaigns against your employee roster and track click rates by department. Employees who click receive immediate micro-training, and aggregate results appear in your monthly reporting dashboard. Dealership service advisors and F&I staff, who handle customer nonpublic personal information daily, are specifically targeted in simulations.
• Patch Management and Endpoint Standardization: NinjaOne RMM enforces patch deployment across Windows OS, third-party applications, and firmware on a defined schedule. Endpoints that miss patch windows are flagged and remediated before the next business day, reducing the attack surface that ransomware groups scan for.

A Concrete Dealership Scenario

A Savannah-area Chevrolet dealer running CDK Global as its DMS has service writers, F&I managers, and a controller all accessing customer credit applications and bank-routing data daily. Without Entra ID conditional access, a phished credential from any of those users gives an attacker full DMS access from any browser anywhere. COMNEXIA locks that down by requiring an Intune-enrolled, SentinelOne-protected device plus MFA before CDK or Dealertrack sessions are permitted. Simultaneously, immutable backups protect deal jackets and Reynolds and Reynolds data exports so that a ransomware event does not halt sales operations for weeks. This configuration maps directly to the written information-security program the FTC Safeguards Rule requires the dealer to maintain and produce during an audit.

What Monthly Reporting Looks Like

Every month you receive a written report covering patch compliance percentage by device, phishing simulation click rates, SOC alert volume and resolution summary, backup job success or failure log, and any open vulnerabilities with remediation status. This documentation supports FTC Safeguards Rule audit requirements and gives your leadership team a concrete picture of your security posture, not a reassurance that "everything is fine."
