Cybersecurity & Backup for Small Businesses Near You
I'm David Martin, and I run Information Security Kentucky — a one-person shop right here in Hardin County. I help small businesses and sole proprietors across central Kentucky make sure their data would actually come back if a computer died or got hit with ransomware.
No jargon. No scare tactics. No enterprise complexity you don't need. Just a local person who explains things in plain English and picks up the phone when you call.
The question that actually matters
Most small businesses assume their backups are working — right up until they try to restore something and find out they aren't. Files "syncing" to a cloud folder isn't the same as being able to recover after a crash or an attack.
So the real question isn't "do you have backups?" It's: if your main computer died tonight, could you open tomorrow? That's what I help you answer — and fix.
What I help with
I do information security, not information technology — and staying in that lane is what lets me be genuinely good at it:
Backups and data recovery you can actually count on
Locking down your accounts, email, and passwords
Two-factor authentication set up the right way
Ransomware prevention — and real help if it happens
Cloud account and device hardening
Watching for signs your info has turned up in a breach
Your backups get checked and you get a plain-language health report, so a quiet failure doesn't go unnoticed until the day you need them.

Who I work with
Small businesses and sole proprietors — the little guy. The shop, the office, the solo operator who doesn't have an IT department and would be in real trouble if a computer failed tomorrow.
I'm local across central Kentucky: Hardin County — Elizabethtown and Radcliff — the Louisville area, and the surrounding communities. Local enough that when you call, you're talking to me.
What I won't do (and why I'll say so plainly)
A lot of this industry isn't straight with you, so I will be:
I'm not your IT person. I don't fix printers, set up WiFi, or repair hardware. If that's what you need, I'll point you to a trustworthy local provider instead of taking the work and doing it badly.
I don't sell compliance certificates, and I won't tell you my service "makes you compliant." What I do is help you keep good records and point you toward the right questions. If a rule applies to your business, I'll explain it in plain language — I won't pretend to be your lawyer or your auditor.
No long contracts, no fear-mongering, no upselling. Straightforward pricing, and you can leave with 30 days' notice.
Start with a free Data Safety Check
A 30-minute conversation, no charge — in person, by phone, or video. We'll talk through where your data actually stands and the gaps that worry me most. If you're in good shape, I'll tell you that — even if it means you don't need me. No pressure, no quote pitched at you unless you ask.
