Security consulting · From the building to outer space
We secure you from the building to outer space.
IT Factor protects the facilities that house your systems, your on-premises networks, your cloud environments and your space systems, for healthcare, financial services and government. Space cybersecurity is our specialty: satellites, ground stations and the links between them.

People. Protection. A stronger tomorrow.
The satellites overhead, the networks in your hospital, the laptop on a family's living room floor. IT Factor protects what connects them.
Services by altitude
From the building to outer space. One security program.
Your security is only as strong as the lowest layer. We protect the physical buildings your systems live in, the networks inside them, the cloud they reach and the spacecraft they control, and we assess all four together so a gap at one altitude doesn't become a breach at another.

Space cybersecurity
A spacecraft can't be patched by walking over to it.
Space systems run for years on hardware that can't be reached, over radio links anyone can listen to, controlled from ground networks that look like any other IT. We secure every segment of the mission.
Ground segment
Mission control & ground stations
Where most real-world attacks on space systems begin.
- Mission operations network review
- Ground station physical & cyber hardening
- Penetration testing
Link segment
Uplink, downlink & crosslinks
Command, telemetry and payload data in transit over RF and optical links.
- TT&C encryption & authentication
- Jamming & spoofing resilience
- Key management design
Space segment
Bus, payload & flight software
Security built in before launch, because changes after launch are slow and risky.
- Secure-by-design reviews
- Flight software assessment
- Safe-mode & recovery planning
User segment
Terminals & downstream services
The organizations that rely on satellite communications, imagery and timing.
- Satcom terminal security
- GPS / PNT dependency mapping
- Third-party provider assessment

How we work
A clear path from first call to steady state.
Assess
Map your environment across your buildings, on-prem systems, cloud and space, then test it against real threats and your regulatory obligations.
Architect
Design a target security architecture and a prioritized roadmap your team and budget can carry.
Harden
Implement controls alongside your engineers and facilities teams: physical access, identity, segmentation, encryption, monitoring and recovery.
Sustain
Ongoing advisory, compliance support and incident response readiness, including mission-specific playbooks.
