AboutColumbia, SC
You’ll work with me directly.
I’m Chase McCracken. I run EmberGuard Security on my own, from the first scan to the last fix.
Background
I’m finishing a degree in Computer Information Systems with a minor in cybersecurity, and I graduate in December 2026. I hold CompTIA A+, CompTIA Security+, and Cisco CCNA certifications.
In my IT help desk internship, I supported Windows users and Active Directory, the system many offices use to manage logins and permissions.
I also run a dedicated home lab to keep building hands-on skills.
Why the first assessment is free
Most small offices don’t know where they stand on security, and finding out shouldn’t cost money. The free assessment gives you real numbers. If you want help fixing what it finds, that’s when we talk price.
Working together
What you can expect from me
-
A written scope first
You’ll know exactly what’s covered, and when, before any work starts.
-
Plain answers
What each finding means for your business, in everyday words. And “that’s outside what I do” when it is.
-
Respect for your IT provider
They hear about the plan before any work starts, and I work with them, not around them.
-
Confidentiality
Findings are stored encrypted and securely deleted when our work together ends.
See my work before you pay for anything.
The assessment is free, with no obligation. Serving Columbia and the Midlands.
