CNC & Manufacturing

Forging Resilience Into Every Operation

CNC shops and precision manufacturers are increasingly targeted by ransomware and IP theft. Your CAD files, production schedules, and supply chain integrations represent years of competitive advantage. Gatehouse Technology secures your operational technology (OT) and IT environments so your machines keep running and your intellectual property stays yours.

KEY CHALLENGES

  • Ransomware targeting CAD/CAM files and production systems
  • Unpatched legacy CNC controllers and PLCs on the network
  • Defense contractor supply chain compliance (CMMC) requirements
  • Insider threat and IP theft from engineering workstations
  • Flat networks exposing OT systems to IT-side breaches

Biomed & Pharma Startups

Guarding the Formula — From Discovery to Approval

Biotech and pharmaceutical startups hold some of the most valuable intellectual property on earth — proprietary compounds, clinical trial data, and FDA submission packages. A single breach can derail years of R&D, expose patient data, and trigger regulatory consequences. Gatehouse Technology builds the security infrastructure that lets your scientists focus on discovery, not data loss.

KEY CHALLENGES

  • Clinical trial data and patient PHI requiring HIPAA protection
  • Proprietary compound formulas and genomic data at risk of exfiltration
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records and signatures
  • Cloud research environments with sprawling SaaS access
  • Rapid headcount growth outpacing security policy and access controls

HOW WE HELP

  • HIPAA Security Rule gap assessment and remediation
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance consulting
  • SOC 2 readiness and audit preparation
  • Cloud security posture management (CSPM) for AWS/Azure/GCP
  • Data loss prevention (DLP) for research data and IP
  • Zero-trust identity and access management for lab environments

Medical Device Sales & Distribution

Securing the Supply Chain — From Dock to Delivery

Medical device distributors operate at the intersection of healthcare, logistics, and regulatory compliance. You handle sensitive patient data, maintain FDA-regulated device records, and manage complex vendor relationships — all while keeping a lean IT team. Gatehouse Technology delivers enterprise-grade security scaled for your operation, ensuring your distribution network is as secure as the devices you deliver.

KEY CHALLENGES

  • FDA UDI (Unique Device Identification) system security and integrity
  • PHI exposure across distributor, hospital, and vendor systems
  • Third-party vendor and supplier cyber risk in the supply chain
  • HIPAA compliance for patient-linked device and service records
  • Ransomware targeting distribution ERP and inventory systems
