Physical Security

Protect your people, property, and data. Our physical security solutions are designed to prevent unauthorized access, monitor activity, and respond to incidents.

Our Three Pillars of Protection

Protect What Matters. Stay Compliant. Sleep Easy.

At Hexclad Security, we understand that true protection requires more than antivirus software or a locked door. That’s why we deliver an integrated approach—combining cybersecurity, physical security, and compliance services that scale with your organization.

1. Cybersecurity

About

Patch Management (Powered by Action1)

Stay current and secure with automated patching across your systems—powered by Action1. Using Action1 to provide automated patch management to ensure your systems are consistently updated with critical patches and security updates. This helps prevent vulnerabilities and exploits, keeping your endpoints secure and reducing the risk of cyber threats

  • Automated patching for OS and third-party apps
  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 compliant
  • Reduces vulnerabilities and ensures compliance with NIST 800-171
  • Centralized control with zero disruption to operations

Why it matters: Unpatched systems are the #1 entry point for cyberattacks. Our automated patching ensures you’re always protected.

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) with Microsoft Defender

We use Microsoft Defender to provide continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response for your endpoints, backed by threat intelligence and detailed reporting to help prevent malware, ransomware, and other attacks.

  • 24/7 threat monitoring and response
  • Detects ransomware, malware, and suspicious behavior
  • Real-time alerts and forensic reporting

Why it matters: EDR goes beyond antivirus by actively hunting threats and enabling rapid response before damage is done.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) with runZero

Gain Complete Visibility with Attack Surface Management

Hexclad Security leverages runZero to provide continuous Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), enabling your organization to identify and secure every connected device—whether on-premises, remote, or in the cloud. This agentless platform delivers comprehensive visibility into your entire digital environment, uncovering unmanaged assets, shadow IT, unauthorized services, and exposed endpoints that traditional tools often overlook.

Every internet-connected component in your organization—public-facing servers, APIs, cloud instances, employee devices, IoT systems, authentication platforms, and third-party integrations—represents a potential cyber asset. Our solution goes beyond conventional vulnerability scanning by offering real-time, continuous monitoring of all assets. It identifies misconfigurations, unauthorized access points, and emerging security gaps, empowering your team to act before threats escalate.

Support

Unlike periodic assessments, our ASM approach supports:

Proactive risk identification and mitigation

(aligned with CMMC 3.11.2, 3.11.3)

Continuous monitoring and asset validation

(3.14.1, 3.14.2)

Dynamic vulnerability management

(3.4.1, 3.4.6)

Enhanced incident response and access control enforcement

(3.6.1, 3.6.2; 3.1.1, 3.1.2)

By continuously evaluating both authorized and unauthorized assets, Hexclad Security helps reduce your attack surface and strengthen your overall security posture.

Full visibility into all assets—on-prem, remote, and cloud

Identifies shadow IT, unauthorized devices, and exposed services

Supports continuous monitoring and proactive risk reduction

Why it matters: You can’t protect what you can’t see. ASM ensures you have a complete, real-time view of your digital environment.

2. Compliance & Audit Readiness

CMMC Preparation Packages

Our CMMC Preparation Package is designed to guide your organization through the certification process with confidence. We begin with a comprehensive gap analysis aligned with CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 requirements. From there, we help generate essential documentation—including the System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and Security Assessment Report (SAR)—and assist in implementing any missing technical or procedural controls.

To streamline compliance tracking and audit preparation, we partner with AATFD to utilize the C-HAC Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform. While we do not own C-HAC, this powerful tool enables us to centralize your compliance efforts within a structured, auditable workflow. It ensures your organization is not just meeting requirements, but building a sustainable and resilient security program.

3. Physical Security

Access Control

From badge systems to PIN pads, we install and configure access control to protect your secure areas. We implement secure access control systems—badge readers, PIN pads—to ensure only authorized individuals can enter sensitive areas.

  • 02

    Role-based access and audit trails

  • 03

    Integration with alarm and surveillance systems

24/7 Video Surveillance

Our IP camera systems provide high-quality, 24/7 visual coverage with remote monitoring and smart alerts. Our IP-based surveillance systems provide 24/7 visibility with high-resolution cameras, night vision, motion alerts, and remote access. Video footage helps deter threats, supports investigations, and serves as verifiable evidence for audits or insurance claims

Frequently Asked Questions

(FAQ)

CMMC is a Department of Defense framework that ensures contractors protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) through cybersecurity controls and assessments.

Level 1: Basic practices (17), self-assessment for FCI
Level 2: Advanced (110 controls), third-party assessments for CUI
Level 3: Expert level with NIST SP 800-172 for APT defense

An enclave is a secure, isolated environment for handling CUI. While not mandatory, it simplifies compliance and reduces audit scope.

Level 1: Self-assessment is allowed
Level 2: Typically requires a third-party assessment (C3PAO), though some may qualify for self-attestation

Final rule effective: December 16, 2024
Level 2 assessments required by: December 2025
Level 3 enforcement expected by: 2027

FCI: Basic government contract info not for public release
CUI: Sensitive information requiring stricter handling under law or regulation

ASM provides continuous visibility into all digital assets—servers, cloud, endpoints—to identify and reduce vulnerabilities.

Because you can’t secure what you can’t see. ASM supports NIST/CMMC controls and reduces exposure.

Comprehensive documentation—SSPs and POA&Ms—demonstrates your security posture and preparedness.

At least annually or after major changes to your facility or threat landscape.
