Home/Industries

Built for the verticals that
define Houston business.

Generic IT support doesn't survive contact with a regulated, deadline-driven, audit-ready business. Each of these industries has its own pace, its own threats, and its own definition of "uptime." We've spent 30+ years learning yours.

01 / Industry

Manufacturing

Production lines that don't tolerate downtime. ERP that has to talk to OT, the warehouse, the supplier portal, and the CFO. A target on your back from threat actors who know exactly how much one shutdown hour costs.

Where it hurts

A single ransomware event can stop shipments, void supplier SLAs, and trigger contractual penalties. Most manufacturers can't tell you, in dollars, what a 4-hour outage costs — until it happens.

How Interlock solves it

  • Segmented OT/IT networks that contain blast radius from a compromised endpoint
  • Highly-available ERP hosting with documented RTO/RPO targets
  • Hardened remote access for engineers, vendors, and contract workers
  • Patch and vulnerability management coordinated around production windows
  • Immutable, tested backups — recovery is rehearsed, not improvised
  • 24/7 monitoring with response procedures that protect production first
02 / Industry

Financial Services

RIAs, broker-dealers, money managers, and finance teams operate under three converging pressures: regulator scrutiny, client trust, and a threat landscape specifically targeting financial data flows.

Where it hurts

Auditors want documented controls. Clients want zero exposure. Regulators want both. Most firms have the right answer somewhere — they just can't prove it on demand.

How Interlock solves it

  • Encrypted email, document, and trading workflows with audit-ready logging
  • Privileged access management and quarterly access reviews
  • Immutable backups and tested DR — not "we have backups somewhere"
  • Documented incident response runbooks aligned to regulator expectations
  • FINRA, SEC, and GLBA-aware controls baked into the environment, not bolted on
  • Evidence-ready reporting for auditors, examiners, and clients
03 / Industry

Private Education

You serve students, parents, donors, and faculty — all on a single budget. Every dollar spent on infrastructure is a dollar not spent in the classroom. You need enterprise-grade security and reliability — for a private school's budget.

Where it hurts

Student data protection requirements and limited budget pressure pull in opposite directions. A single phishing incident in admissions, finance, or development can compromise donor trust for a generation.

Talk to an Education IT Specialist Free FERPA & Security Review

How Interlock solves it

  • FERPA-aware infrastructure with content filtering and access controls
  • Cloud-first architecture that scales with enrollment and seasonal demand
  • Cybersecurity awareness training for staff and faculty (with phishing simulations)
  • Predictable monthly costs and capital planning support for board reporting
  • Tested disaster recovery for student information systems and admissions data
  • One vendor relationship instead of five — audit-ready and board-defensible
04 / Industry

Architecture & Engineering Firms

Heavy applications. Massive project files. Mobile teams. Tight deadlines. AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, Adobe — your tools are demanding, your storage is enormous, and your people work from sites, hotels, and home offices.

Where it hurts

Design software tied to office workstations limits flexibility, inflates support costs, and fights against the realities of remote project work. When a workstation fails, a deliverable slips.
