Durham FAQ

Does Armorstack have a physical office in Durham?

Armorstack operates as a service-area provider across Durham and Durham County and dispatches engineers for scheduled and emergency on-site work, with target response of 4 hours during business hours and 8 hours overnight for clients on a service retainer. 24/7 SOC monitoring and vCISO / vCIO engagements are delivered with no geographic gap. Reach us at 877-890-5508 or via /contact/.

How do I get started with Armorstack in Durham?

Talk to us at /contact/ — a candid scoping conversation, not a pitch deck. If there is a fit, the typical first engagement is a fixed-fee assessment with a defined deliverable in 4-6 weeks before any monthly retainer. Many North Carolina organizations start with the 90-day proof (/ninety-day-proof/).

How does AI security observability apply to a Durham-area organization?

Employers across Durham and Durham County are adopting AI-driven tools faster than most security programs can govern them. Sentry detects shadow AI, monitors prompt-injection patterns, flags excessive-agency behavior, and can enforce agent kill-switches — paired with Verity’s AI risk reporting under NIST AI RMF. A Shadow AI Discovery typically completes within 5-10 business days.

Do you provide physical security integration in Durham?

Yes. Citadel integrates access control, video surveillance, fire alarm monitoring, and low-voltage infrastructure with cybersecurity monitoring across office, industrial, and (where relevant) clinical sites in Durham and Durham County. Site surveys are typically scheduled within 5 business days.

What does North Carolina’s data-breach notification law require?

The North Carolina Identity Theft Protection Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-65) requires notification without unreasonable delay, with notice to the North Carolina Attorney General and consumer reporting agencies required if more than 1,000 residents are affected. Sentry managed detection and response is built to accelerate detection and preserve the forensic evidence a compliant notification requires.

Are you a CMMC 2.0 provider for North Carolina defense manufacturers and suppliers?

Armorstack delivers CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 implementation and assessor coordination for Defense Industrial Base contractors and their supplier base. Verity includes the CMMC practice and coordinates with C3PAOs toward assessment-ready environments. This is not a claim of named local certifications. → /cmmc/ · /industries-defense-government/
