What We Do

Enterprise-level security knowledge, local prices

The certifications behind Maine Support — CISSP, CySA+, CISM, and C-CISO — represent some of the most rigorous credentials in the cybersecurity field. The C-CISO alone is held by fewer than 2,000 people worldwide. That's the level of expertise we bring to securing your home or small business network.

We configure your router properly, close the gaps, and explain what we did and why — no scare tactics, no upselling, just honest protection that actually works.

Network security configuration and router setup in Brunswick Maine

Firewall Configuration

Your router has a built-in firewall — but out of the box it's rarely configured well. We set up proper inbound and outbound rules so only the traffic you want gets through.

Router Hardening

Default admin passwords, open remote management ports, and outdated firmware are the most common ways networks get compromised. We close all of those doors.

IoT Device Isolation

Smart TVs, doorbells, and thermostats are notoriously insecure. We put them on their own isolated network so a compromised device can't reach your computers or personal data.

About the Technician

The Credentials Behind Maine Support

These aren't entry-level certifications. The CISSP is recognized worldwide as the gold standard in information security. The C-CISO (Certified Chief Information Security Officer) is one of the most advanced executive-level security credentials in existence, held by fewer than 2,000 professionals globally.

Combined with 30+ years of hands-on experience in desktop support, server administration, networking, and cybersecurity, Maine Support brings a level of expertise to midcoast Maine that you simply won't find at a big-box store or a generic IT service.

And unlike a corporate IT firm, we explain everything in plain English, charge flat rates, and don't bill you if we can't help.

Common Questions

Network security FAQ

Is my network really at risk?

More than most people realize. Automated scanners probe networks constantly looking for open ports, default passwords, and unpatched firmware. It's not targeted — it's automated and ongoing. A properly configured router stops most of it cold.

What do CISSP, CISM, and C-CISO actually mean?

These are professional certifications that require years of verified work experience and rigorous exams to earn. The CISSP is widely considered the gold standard in cybersecurity. The CISM covers security management. The C-CISO is an executive-level credential held by fewer than 2,000 people worldwide. Together they represent deep, verified expertise — not just a course certificate.

Do I need to buy new equipment?

Not necessarily. We start by working with what you have and configuring it properly. If your router is too old to support current security features or has known vulnerabilities that can't be patched, we'll tell you honestly — but we don't push upgrades just to upsell you.

What's the difference between this and just having a WiFi password?

A WiFi password keeps neighbors off your wireless network — but it does nothing about the router's admin interface, open ports visible from the internet, insecure DNS, or devices on your network talking to each other when they shouldn't. Proper security goes several layers deeper.

Do you work with small businesses too?

Yes — small businesses in Brunswick and the surrounding area are a great fit. If you're running a small office or retail space and want your network properly secured without hiring an enterprise IT firm, that's exactly the kind of work we take on.
