Most businesses don't set out to assemble a security stack. It accumulates. An antivirus subscription from one vendor, a backup tool a former employee picked, a firewall the ISP installed, a compliance spreadsheet someone maintains in their spare time. Each piece works. Nothing is connected. And when something goes wrong at 2am, there is no one whose job it is to notice.
Torchsec exists to replace that arrangement with a single, engineered one. Below is what we actually deliver, and how the pieces fit.
Managed Security
Endpoint detection and response, DNS-layer protection, and dark web monitoring — deployed, tuned, and watched. This is the layer that stops the attack, and it is meaningfully different from the antivirus it replaces: EDR records behaviour rather than matching signatures, which is why it catches the ransomware that has never been seen before.
Managed IT
The unglamorous work that determines whether the security layer has anything solid to sit on: remote monitoring, patching, help desk, onboarding and offboarding, vendor management. A patched, inventoried, well-run environment is not a separate project from security. It is most of it.
24/7 Security Operations Center
Tools generate alerts. A SOC decides which ones matter. Ours runs MDR, SIEM, and threat intelligence with human analysts on the other end — because the alert that matters usually arrives outside business hours, and an unread dashboard is not a control.
BCDR and Backup
Immutable cloud backup, disaster recovery as a service, and rehearsed recovery drills. The question is never whether you have backups. It is how long a full restore takes and whether anyone has ever timed it. We time it.
Compliance Engineering
Policies, technical controls, and the evidence trail that connects them, for HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, and CIS Controls v8. Written to be operated, not to sit in a binder until an assessor asks for it.

Security Awareness
Phishing simulation, short recurring training, and the reporting your insurer and auditor ask for. People remain the most targeted part of any environment, and the goal is changed behaviour rather than a completion certificate.

Why buying them together matters
The gaps attackers use are rarely inside a product. They are between products — the endpoint agent that was never deployed to the new laptop, the backup that silently stopped running in March, the offboarded employee whose VPN account outlived their badge. Those gaps are a coordination failure, and coordination is exactly what a single accountable provider is for.
It also matters at audit time. When one team owns the controls, the monitoring, and the documentation, the evidence an assessor asks for already exists. When five vendors own them, you spend six weeks assembling it.
How we start
Every engagement runs through the same four stages: Discover the environment as it actually is, Design the target state against a named framework, Deploy in a sequence that doesn't break the business, and Defend continuously once it's live. Nothing gets skipped because a client is small, and nothing gets rushed because a quarter is ending.
We work with businesses throughout Ohio — from our home base in Knox County out to Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, Canton, Toledo, and everywhere between.
