The Real Threats Facing Your Projects and How to Reduce Risk
Why Engineering and Construction Firms Are Prime Targets
Engineering and construction firms manage some of the most valuable digital assets in today’s economy. From CAD drawings and structural plans to bids, contracts, financial data and client communications, your systems hold information that attackers can easily monetize or use for extortion.
As firms increasingly rely on cloud platforms, remote access, mobile devices and third-party vendors, the attack surface expands. This often occurs faster than internal security capabilities can keep up. Many organizations operate without dedicated cybersecurity staff, leaving critical systems exposed to modern, automated threats.
Razz Pro works with engineering and construction firms across Los Angeles to secure their technology environments without disrupting field operations or project timelines. We understand the realities of job sites, remote teams and deadline-driven workflows and we design security around how your business actually runs.
The Most Common Cybersecurity Threats in Engineering & Construction
Cybercriminals don’t just target large enterprises. In fact, small to mid-sized engineering and construction firms are frequently attacked because they combine valuable data with limited security controls.
These are the most common threats we see affecting firms throughout Southern California:
Ransomware targeting project data
Attackers encrypt CAD files, blueprints, schedules and financial records, bringing projects to a halt until a ransom is paid.
Phishing attacks against project leaders
Project managers, estimators and executives are frequently targeted with emails designed to steal credentials or initiate fraudulent payments.
Exposed remote access systems
Poorly secured VPNs, remote desktop services and job-site connections are a common entry point for attackers.
Third-party and subcontractor risk
Data leaks and account compromises often occur through shared platforms, external vendors or unmanaged partner access.
Insider and device-related threats
Former employees, lost laptops and unsecured mobile devices can expose sensitive information long after a project ends.
A Practical, Process-Driven Approach to Cybersecurity
Effective cybersecurity is not a single tool or product, it’s an ongoing process. Razz Pro takes a layered, risk-based approach designed specifically for engineering and construction environments.
We begin by understanding your workflows, technology stack and operational risks, then apply controls that strengthen security without slowing productivity.
Our Cybersecurity Framework
Threat Assessment & Risk Prioritization
We analyze your current environment, identify vulnerabilities and rank risks based on business impact and not just technical severity.
Security Hardening & Protection
We deploy layered defenses including endpoint detection and response (EDR), advanced email security, multi-factor authentication (MFA), secure remote access and mobile device controls.
Employee Security Awareness
Your team is your first line of defense. We provide practical training to help staff recognize phishing attempts, protect credentials and handle sensitive project data safely.
Continuous Monitoring & Incident Response
Our team actively monitors your systems, investigates suspicious activity and responds quickly to contain threats before they escalate into costly incidents.
Protect Your Projects Without Slowing Them Down
Cybersecurity failures in engineering and construction don’t just impact IT systems, they delay projects, damage client trust and create financial and legal exposure. A proactive, industry-aware security strategy reduces risk while supporting efficient operations.
Razz Pro helps engineering and construction firms in Los Angeles build resilient, secure technology environments designed for how work gets done in the real world. That includes job sites, in offices and everywhere in between.
