Office Systems and Cybersecurity for Construction and Trade Businesses.
Construction and trade businesses have real cybersecurity exposure — in the office and in the field. We help you protect the systems that keep your business running, with a particular focus on wire fraud and payment diversion attacks.
Your Office Is a Cyber Target. The Field Compounds the Risk.
Construction and trade businesses often think of cybersecurity as something for banks or hospitals — not for a company that builds things. That perception is exactly what attackers are counting on. The reality is that every construction company has an office: estimators preparing bids, project coordinators managing submittals, accounting staff processing invoices, and administrative teams handling contracts and compliance documentation. These office functions depend entirely on email, cloud storage, and collaboration tools.
The combination of large vendor payments, constant email communication with subcontractors and suppliers, and relatively limited IT oversight makes construction businesses a reliable target for wire fraud and business email compromise. In the most common attack scenario, an attacker compromises or spoofs a vendor email account and submits updated banking information ahead of a scheduled payment. By the time the fraud is discovered, the funds are gone. In construction, where project payments regularly reach five and six figures, a single successful attack can be devastating.
Beyond fraud, field staff using personal devices to access company email and project platforms create endpoint exposure that most businesses have never addressed. ProSIGHT helps construction and trade businesses protect both the office and the field with practical controls scaled to their size and budget.

The Cyber Risks Facing Construction Businesses
These are the specific threats we see most frequently in construction and trade business environments.
Office IT Management
Full management of your office technology environment — Microsoft 365 administration, device management, software and patch deployment, and responsive IT support for your office and administrative staff. We handle the technology so your team can focus on project delivery.
Email & Payment Fraud Protection
Advanced email filtering, anti-spoofing configuration (DMARC, DKIM, SPF), and impersonation protection to block the fraudulent emails that enable wire fraud and BEC attacks. We combine technical controls with practical process guidance to reduce payment fraud risk across both your email system and your authorization workflows.
Endpoint Security
AI-enhanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) deployed across office workstations, with intelligent monitoring and automated alerting. We also review and enforce security policies on mobile devices used by field staff to access company email and project platforms — closing a gap that most construction businesses leave open.
Backup & Recovery
Verified, tested backups for your project files, financial records, and business data. We review your backup architecture, confirm coverage is complete, and verify that recovery actually works. When an incident happens, you'll be able to restore operations without paying a ransom or rebuilding from scratch.
AI Agent Integration
We integrate AI-powered tools into construction workflows — from project summary and vendor communication automation to field reporting assistance — keeping data secure and under your control.
Custom Software Development
We build secure integrations between project management, accounting, and field tools, and develop custom applications for estimating, vendor tracking, and project dashboards tailored to your operations.
