Security isn't a service tier. It's how we build everything.
Most providers sell security as an add-on. Every Strong Connexions client runs on the same hardened baseline from day one.
Built in, not bolted on
Every firewall, laptop, phone system and camera we deploy follows the same documented, hardened configuration.
Compliance-ready by default
If a contract, insurer or regulator ever asks, you start from a documented baseline, not from zero.
One accountable team
From the cable in the wall to the cloud tenant, one local team designs it, secures it and supports it.
Six services. One standard behind every one.
Each service lists what's included and how it's secured, because with us the two always come together.
How onboarding works.
New clients move onto the standard in four steps, with no surprises along the way.
- STEP 01
Assess
We inventory your environment, from cabling and firewalls to Microsoft 365, and identify the risks that matter most.
- STEP 02
Onboard
Monitoring and endpoint protection go on every device, and your team gets one number to call.
- STEP 03
Harden
Every layer is brought up to the Strong Connexions Standard and documented as we go.
- STEP 04
Monitor
Ongoing monitoring, patching and regular reviews keep you secure and show leadership where you stand.
Built for businesses that answer to someone.
Contracts, regulators, insurers or customers. Our standard is designed around the requirements they bring.
Defense contractors
Protect FCI and CUI and support accurate self-assessments and SPRS scores.
Healthcare
Safeguard patient data across clinics, practices and the vendors that support them.
Retail and payments
Keep cardholder data segmented and reduce the scope of what needs to be assessed.
Professional services
Answer insurance questionnaires with confidence, backed by real controls.
The technical controls are already in place. We help you prove it.
Because every client runs on our standard, compliance work focuses on scoping, documentation and evidence rather than rebuilding your environment.
We pull the cable, too.
Cabling, cameras, door access and AV, designed and installed by the same team that secures your network.
Breached? Get an EnCE-certified examiner on the case.
We contain the incident, investigate what happened, preserve the evidence and harden your environment afterward. Disconnect affected systems from the network, don't power them off, and call.
Local engineers who pull the cable and sign off on the firewall.
Founded in Salt Lake City in 2011 by Jason Strong, Strong Connexions grew from IT management into a full security, infrastructure and forensics practice. The same team designs, installs and supports your environment.

DoD suspended the third-party assessment phase of CMMC in July 2026. Your obligations to protect CUI did not change. Here is what defense contractors should keep doing.
HIPAA · HealthcareThe HIPAA Security Rule overhaul: how practices can prepare
HHS has proposed the biggest update to the HIPAA Security Rule in two decades, with a final rule now expected in 2027. Most of the proposed requirements are worth doing today.
Incident response · ForensicsWhat happens in a business email compromise investigation
When an attacker takes over a mailbox, the questions come fast: how did they get in, what did they see, and who else was affected? Here is how a forensic investigation answers them.
