Security and
infrastructure for
organizations that
can't afford to be down.
A consulting firm,
built like an operations team.
DAB Consulting is a technology consulting firm specializing in IT infrastructure, systems integration, government compliance, and physical & cyber security. We work as an extension of your team — quietly keeping the lights on, the network secure, and the cameras recording.
Most of our clients don't have time to learn the difference between RADIUS, MFA, and SAML — and they shouldn't have to. They need someone who can stand up a hardened network, replace an aging camera fleet with current-generation Axis hardware, audit their HIPAA posture, and pick up the phone at 2am when something breaks.
That's the entire point of DAB Consulting. Senior engineers, fewer handoffs, and a focus on the security work that actually matters.
Engineer-Led
You talk to the person doing the work — not a sales layer between you and the engineer.
Vendor-Honest
We pick tooling — Axis, Duo, Cisco Meraki — because it's the right fit, not because of a quota.
Always-On Support
Project work doesn't end at deployment. We stay on as your operations partner.
Compliance-Aware
HIPAA, HITECH, and government compliance baked in — not bolted on after audit.
What we
do.
Five practice areas, one team. Every engagement is scoped, designed, and supported by the same engineers from kickoff through ongoing operations.
Cybersecurity
Network hardening, identity, MFA, and threat defense. Firewall design, RADIUS-backed VPN with Duo, EDR, intrusion detection, and phishing-resistant authentication for Microsoft 365 and on-prem Active Directory.
Physical Security
Axis-focused surveillance and access control. IP camera systems, network video recorders, access control, and intercom designed and installed around Axis Communications hardware — with the network and storage backbone to support it.
IT Infrastructure
Networks, servers, and the boring things that have to work. Network design, server virtualization, unified communications, file and print, backup and disaster recovery, and managed services that lower in-house support cost.
HIPAA & HITECH Compliance
Audits, remediation, and ongoing posture for healthcare. We audit the electronic and physical handling of PHI, document the gaps, and implement controls that meet current regulations — and stay ready for the next round of changes.
Systems Integration & Consulting
New systems, migrations, and second opinions. ERP/CRM integration, application development, mobile, analytics, and project management — plus straight-talking strategic consulting when you need outside eyes on a decision.
Defense in depth — without the theater.
Most breaches happen because something basic was misconfigured, unpatched, or exposed. We keep the fundamentals tight, then layer detection and response on top of a network that's already hard to get into.
Request a security reviewNetwork Security Audit
Internal and external endpoint review against your existing controls and policies — with prioritized remediation, not a 200-page report nobody reads.
Firewall & Perimeter
Next-generation firewall design, deployment, and lifecycle management — including hardened VPN with RADIUS-backed MFA via Duo for phishing-resistant remote access.
Identity & Access
Active Directory hardening, conditional access, MFA rollout, automated user lifecycle management, and least-privilege enforcement across hybrid environments.
Endpoint & Threat Defense
EDR, anti-malware, intrusion detection, DNS-layer protection, and patching — tuned to your environment instead of a generic out-of-the-box ruleset.
Data Protection & Recovery
Encrypted backups, immutable storage, tested disaster recovery, and retention policies that hold up to compliance review and ransomware scenarios alike.
Cameras, doors, and
everything between.
Physical security isn't separate from IT — it runs on the same network, the same identity layer, and the same recovery plan. We design integrated physical security systems that share a backbone with the rest of your environment.
Our physical security practice is built around Axis Communications hardware. Axis pioneered the IP camera category, and they remain the benchmark for image quality, build quality, cybersecurity hygiene, and platform openness — which is exactly what you want in a fleet of devices that will sit on your network for the next decade.
We design, install, and maintain Axis-based surveillance, access control, audio, and intercom systems — paired with the right network switches, PoE budget, server-grade storage, and viewing software for your scale.
- /AAxis devices are designed as networked endpoints first — with strong default cyber hardening, signed firmware, and clear vulnerability disclosure.
- /BONVIF compliance and an open VMS ecosystem mean you're never trapped on a single video management platform.
- /CLightfinder, Forensic WDR, and Zipstream produce footage that stays useful when you actually need to identify someone.
- /DAxis hardware is supported with firmware updates for years — keeping your investment current and your attack surface small.
Axis Communications
From small-business retrofits to multi-site enterprise rollouts, we standardize on Axis for the same reasons our clients keep their existing fleets running for years past the warranty: reliability, cyber posture, and supportability.
Four steps,
no surprises.
We keep the engagement model simple. You always know what's happening, what it costs, and who's doing the work.
Discovery
We walk your sites, review your environment, and ask the questions that surface what's actually wrong — not just what's loudest.
Design
You get a written design with diagrams, hardware list, fixed costs where possible, and a clear deployment plan.
Deployment
Our engineers do the work. Cabling, configuration, cutover, documentation, and validation — start to finish.
Operate
We stay on as a managed services partner — monitoring, patching, responding, and adjusting as your business evolves.
Where our work
shows up.
We work across regulated and operational industries where downtime, data loss, or a missed camera frame can be a serious problem.
Tell us what's keeping you up at night.
A camera fleet that's past end-of-life. A VPN that should be using MFA. An audit deadline. A network that's grown faster than the team. Whatever it is — we'd rather hear about it now than after.
