welcome to ProtectedIT

Security advisory for organizations that measure risk in megawatts and uptime.

ProtectedIT is a cyber strategy and consulting firm. We advise the organizations building, operating, and investing in the world's most consequential infrastructure — hyperscale data centers, AI compute facilities, power generation plants, and energy grids — on the security decisions that determine whether those assets endure.

our principles

Board-led. Vendor-neutral. Practitioner-informed.

Board-Led Engagement

Senior advisors engage directly on every client engagement. The people our clients meet are the people doing the advisory — not junior staff.

Vendor-Neutral Advice

No products to sell. No partner revenue to protect. Recommendations reflect what the client's environment requires — nothing else.

Outcomes, Not Deliverables

Engagements measured by the quality of decisions produced and risks avoided — not the volume of documentation generated.

why choose us

Advisory led by those doing the work — not delegated to it.

Planning & Design

Security decisions made at design stage are significantly less expensive and more durable than remediation after construction.

Compliance & Regulation

NERC CIP, SOC 2, FedRAMP, or emerging AI governance — compliance programs built around how the organization actually operates.

Executive & Board Advisory

Board-level advisory for organizations under pressure — security incident, regulatory inquiry, acquisition, or board accountability demands.

Securing your critical infrastructure world

Data Centers & AI Infrastructure:

Hyperscale facilities, colocation operators, AI cloud platforms, and infrastructure investors navigating security decisions that define how mission-critical compute environments survive sophisticated, patient adversaries.

Energy & Power Generation:

Nuclear, conventional, and renewable generation operators, transmission utilities, and energy investors confronting the convergence of OT environments, regulatory obligation, and nation-state targeting.

Nation-State Targeting Awareness:

We focus on clients whose infrastructure is targeted by nation-state actors — adversaries with resources, patience, and objectives that conventional enterprise security was never designed to address.

Our work defined by what clients needed to decide

A major colocation operator needed to qualify for a Fortune 500 enterprise tenant — and had six months to close the gap. ProtectedIT conducted an independent gap assessment, developed a prioritized remediation roadmap, and advised through the audit process. The operator qualified on schedule.

A regional energy utility faced a NERC CIP audit with unresolved compliance gaps spanning two consecutive audit cycles. ProtectedIT rebuilt the compliance program as a permanent operational function. The utility received no enforcement findings.

David Fadida

Board Member – Data Center & Infrastructure Development

An AI cloud platform needed to redesign its network architecture to meet enterprise financial services requirements before a commercial launch. Zero-trust architecture advisory produced a redesign roadmap implementable within the timeline. Anchor enterprise contracts secured within the quarter following launch.

A renewable developer with twelve distributed sites needed a unified OT security strategy before a utility offtake agreement could close. The program became the foundation for all future development.

Every major infrastructure decision carries security implications. Let's talk before yours.

faq

Infrastructure security questions answered clearly

We focus on organizations building, operating, and investing in critical infrastructure — hyperscale data centers, AI compute facilities, power generation plants, energy grids, and colocation operators. Our clients are those for whom the stakes of getting security wrong are measured in megawatts, uptime, and national consequence.

No. We are strictly a strategy and advisory firm. We do not sell software, manage technology deployments, or have vendor partnerships. This ensures our recommendations reflect only what the client's environment requires — nothing else.

We advise on NERC CIP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FedRAMP, and emerging AI governance frameworks. We build compliance programs that satisfy enterprise tenants, government customers, and regulatory auditors — built around the business, not just the checklist.

Our engagements begin with a conversation — not a proposal, not a product demonstration. We start by understanding the decisions you are facing and whether our advisory can meaningfully improve the quality of those decisions.
