The Challenge

In the capital, you have to prove it, not just claim it

Working in and around state government raises the bar on evidence. Law firms, financial advisors, insurers and contractors in Helena are increasingly asked to show their safeguards in writing, whether that is a client security review, an insurance questionnaire or a contract requirement. Most of the work is not buying a tool, it is having the controls actually in place and the documentation ready when someone asks.

  • Law and policy firms handling privileged and sensitive case material
  • Organizations contracting with or reporting to state agencies
  • Financial, insurance and advisory firms under regulatory expectations
  • Long records-retention obligations that make reliable backup non-negotiable

How we cover Helena

Remote support and scheduled onsite visits

Monitoring, help desk and most fixes happen from a screen, which is why a Helena client gets the same response as a client ten minutes from our office. Helena is a drive from Billings, so when work needs hands we agree a visit schedule.

Cyber Risk Scorecard

How does your Helena firm score? 2 minutes, 10 questions.

Ten questions, no email needed to see your score. Scores are a planning estimate based on your answers, not an audit.

  1. 1/10 Is multi-factor authentication turned on for every email account in the business?
  2. 2/10 Do you have offline or immutable backups and when was the last restore test?
  3. 3/10 What protects your computers?
  4. 4/10 How are updates and patches applied to computers and servers?
  5. 5/10 Do everyday users have administrator rights on their computers?
  6. 6/10 Has your team had phishing training in the last 12 months?
  7. 7/10 Do you know who has access to what and does access end the same day someone leaves?
  8. 8/10 Do you have a written incident response plan and has it been tested?
  9. 9/10 Does your industry have a compliance requirement (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, PCI, CMMC) and do you have written policies for it?
  10. 10/10 Do you carry cyber insurance and could you answer the carrier’s questionnaire truthfully today?
Trust and compliance

What we stand behind

15-minute incident response. Galactica CyberSecurity is a Montana company with a real office, a real phone that is answered 24x7 and a security operations center watching client systems around the clock. We help clients meet HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, PCI-DSS, GLBA and cyber insurance requirements by putting the safeguards in place and keeping the evidence current. We do not certify compliance, and we will tell you plainly when a requirement is outside what we do.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Do you have an office in Helena?

No. Galactica is headquartered in Billings. Helena clients are supported remotely 24x7 and because Helena is a drive away, onsite visits that need hands on equipment are scheduled by agreement.

How fast do you respond to a Helena firm?

Our average response time in 2026 is 6 minutes and 39 seconds. This is a historical average, not a guaranteed response or resolution time. Priority, response arrangements and the scope of support depend on your service agreement and the situation.

Which Helena industries do you work with?

Law and policy firms, financial, insurance and advisory offices, accounting firms, nonprofits and associations, organizations working alongside state agencies and plenty of businesses that don’t fit a label.

What does IT support cost for a Helena business?

One flat monthly rate based on how many people you have and what needs protecting, with no per-ticket fees. You see the complete number before you sign. The pricing page covers what goes into it and the Get Pricing form there is the fastest way to get your own.

Can you help us meet FTC Safeguards or GLBA requirements?

Yes. We put the safeguards in place, help write the information security plan and policies and keep the evidence current for examiners, carriers and client security reviews. We help you meet the requirement; we do not certify compliance.

We already have an IT person. Can you work with them?

Yes. Our co-managed IT service leaves your team doing what it does well and adds 24x7 security operations, tooling and an escalation path behind them.

What happens on the free Cyber Strategy Session?

Tanner spends 15 minutes learning how your firm runs, looks at where you are most exposed (email, backups, devices, logins) and tells you what he would fix first and whether Galactica is a fit.
