Cybersecurity for Naples Businesses
Good cybersecurity in Naples starts with an awkward question: if someone emailed your office new wiring instructions today, who would catch it? As a Naples-based Managed Service Provider (MSP), NerdSquad Managed IT Services protects the local firms that move real money: investment advisers, family offices, law firms and the people who run real estate closings.
The work is unglamorous: MFA, filtered email, endpoint detection and response (EDR), trained staff and a call-back rule nobody skips. It sits on top of our everyday IT support in Naples and our broader cybersecurity services.
Where the money moves, the fake emails follow
Attackers rarely break in. They log in, read the mailbox and wait for a payment to impersonate.
Advisers & family offices
Distribution requests that check out
A client asks for a wire to a new account, from their real email address, because their mailbox was taken over. We flag risky sign-ins and forwarding rules, and help you document the verification step. See IT for financial advisers.
Law & trust practices
Escrow and settlement funds
Trust accounts and settlement payouts are tempting targets. We secure Microsoft 365, lock down shared mailboxes and keep client files behind MFA. More on IT for law firms.
Closings & title
Wiring instructions, confirmed by voice
We filter look-alike domains and help your team build a call-back habit for every closing.
The call-back check, step by step
Pause on any change
New bank, new account number, new urgency. Any of those triggers the check, no matter who seems to be asking.
Call a known number
Use the number already in your CRM or file, never one from the email or its signature.
Confirm the details out loud
Read back the account and amount. Get a second approver for anything above your threshold.
Log it
Note who called whom and when. That record is the evidence an examiner or insurer will ask for.

Security for Naples firms and their other offices
Plenty of Naples advisers and law firms also keep a satellite office in Bonita Springs, Fort Myers or on Marco Island. The same controls, policies and monitoring apply at every location.

The controls behind it
Email filtering that quarantines spoofed and look-alike senders
MFA on email, remote access and every admin account
Endpoint detection and response on every computer and server
Security awareness training with realistic phishing tests
Immutable, offsite backups with restore testing (see managed backup in Naples)
We don't make you compliant
Regulation S-P, GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule put the obligation on your firm. We implement and document the technical safeguards, so your compliance officer has evidence instead of promises.
Microsoft 365 sign-ins are often the weak spot. Our Microsoft 365 support in Naples covers them.
Cybersecurity questions from Naples firms
Does amended Regulation S-P affect our IT provider?
Yes. The 2024 amendments expect covered firms to oversee service providers, including how quickly a provider would notify you of a breach involving customer information. Ask any IT provider, us included, how they would meet that.
Is the FTC Safeguards Rule only for banks?
No. It covers many non-bank financial businesses, such as mortgage brokers, tax preparers and certain advisers that aren't registered with the SEC. Your compliance counsel can confirm which rule applies to you.
Can you stop business email compromise completely?
No one can promise that. We make it much harder with MFA, email filtering, alerts on suspicious sign-ins and a written call-back rule, so a fake request is caught before money moves.
We just had a suspicious wire request. What now?
Don't reply. Call the client on a known number, your bank if money already moved, and us at 239-465-0079 to check the mailbox for a takeover.
