Who we serve in Dayton
Dayton is home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — the largest single-site employer in Ohio — and anchors a defense, healthcare, and legal-analytics economy across the Miami Valley. That mix produces a regulated IT, AI, and physical-security profile: CMMC-mandated defense manufacturing, HIPAA-regulated healthcare, and SOC 2-anchored legal-analytics SaaS on the same regional grid. Armorstack runs one operating record across Verity, Core, Sentry, and Citadel — not four vendor relationships.
Defense & DIB
Defense suppliers in Greater Dayton and the Miami Valley (Montgomery, Greene, Miami, and Preble counties) need CMMC 2.0 Level 1 / Level 2 implementation and assessor coordination, not a binder. Verity owns the SSP/POA&M path; Sentry and Core keep the boundary operable.
Healthcare
Hospitals, clinics, and care networks serving Dayton carry HIPAA technical-safeguard and physical-security requirements — plus AI-assisted clinical tools that need governance, not a policy PDF. Core and Citadel converge IT and facility security; Verity holds the audit record.
Financial services
Banks, credit unions, insurers, and related firms in Dayton need GLBA Safeguards Rule implementation and examination-ready evidence. Verity is built to produce that record; Sentry watches the environment it describes.
SaaS & AI-first companies
Software and AI-product firms in Dayton face SOC 2 Type II, customer security questionnaires, and NIST AI RMF pressure that gates revenue. Sentry addresses the observability gap; Verity produces the trust record.
Four portfolios, operated in Dayton
How we cover Dayton
24/7 SOC monitoring
Sentry’s in-house SOC monitors Dayton-area client environments around the clock. Eastern Time coverage spans business hours, evening overlap, and overnight handoff with no gap in shift transitions.
On-site engineer dispatch
Engineers are dispatched across Montgomery, Greene, Miami, and Preble counties for planned work and emergency response. Target on-site response is 4 hours during business hours and 8 hours overnight for clients on a service retainer. Routine on-site work is scheduled within one to two business days. Armorstack is a service-area provider in Dayton — we do not claim a storefront we do not operate. For an active incident with a retainer in place, the SOC is engaged within 30 minutes and on-site within 4–8 hours; we coordinate with the FBI Cincinnati Field Office (48-county central and southern Ohio jurisdiction) when an incident reaches federal thresholds.
vCIO / vCISO cadence
Quarterly executive reviews can be delivered on-site in Dayton. Monthly cadence is available remote. Board-ready reporting is mapped to the frameworks that actually apply — typically NIST CSF 2.0, NIST AI RMF, and the industry set that applies to your organization.
AI security and the Dayton observability gap
Dayton organizations in defense manufacturing, healthcare, legal and risk-analytics SaaS, and Medicaid managed care are adopting AI-driven tools faster than most security programs can govern them. That is the observability gap — enterprise AI adoption outpacing the visibility, governance, and monitoring required to make it safe. Sentry addresses it with shadow-AI detection, prompt-injection monitoring, excessive-agency detection, and agent kill-switch enforcement, paired with Verity’s AI risk reporting under NIST AI RMF.
Compliance frameworks Ohio organizations face
- Cross-cutting federal: NIST CSF 2.0, NIST AI RMF, SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS where card data applies.
- State: Ohio Revised Code § 1349.19 requires notification to affected Ohio residents in the most expedient time possible following discovery of a breach involving personal information. Ohio also offers a voluntary affirmative-defense safe harbor under the Ohio Data Protection Act (ORC § 1354) for organizations that implement and maintain a cybersecurity program conforming to a recognized framework — NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA Security Rule, PCI-DSS, or CMMC among others. Ohio Revised Code 3965 (SB 273) Insurance Data Security Law requires a 3-business-day cybersecurity-event notification for licensed carriers, agencies, and brokers, on top of the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law.
- Healthcare: HIPAA, HITECH, 42 CFR Part 2, plus any state health-privacy statute already on the live page.
- Financial services: GLBA Safeguards Rule, FFIEC IT Examination guidance, SOX IT general controls where public.
- Manufacturing / DIB: CMMC 2.0 Levels 1 and 2, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, DFARS 252.204-7012.
- SaaS / AI: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, customer questionnaires, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act where they sell into the EU.
