Veteran-owned cybersecurity and IT infrastructure for Greater Austin businesses — tech companies, defense contractors, government-adjacent firms, and small businesses throughout Travis County and the Austin-Round Rock metro. Built right the first time, fully documented, handed off complete.
Austin is not a generic tech market. It is home to semiconductor fabs and equipment companies along 183, Dell Technologies' global headquarters in Round Rock, Applied Research Laboratories at UT Austin, defense tech startups scattered from the Domain to the 130 corridor, and an established defense industrial base supporting programs tied to Camp Mabry and regional command structures.
That mix demands infrastructure held to a different standard. Data handling requirements, CUI — Controlled Unclassified Information — obligations, export control concerns, and supply chain security pressures are real here in ways they are not in purely commercial markets. Vaelance builds environments designed for those pressures, not environments that will need to be rebuilt when a prime contractor or a DoD auditor shows up.
Business-grade wired and wireless networks built for reliability. Proper routing, managed switches, VLAN segmentation, structured cabling. Not whatever the ISP left behind. Works on day one and stays working.
Routers · Switches · WiFi · VLANsFirewall rules, endpoint protection, email security, MFA, and security awareness. Sized for small business budgets, built to stop the attacks targeting Austin businesses every day. No theater — actual protection.
Firewall · MFA · Endpoint · EmailGap assessment, remediation, SSP and POA&M documentation, and architecture aligned to CMMC Level 2 requirements. For Austin defense contractors and defense tech companies in the DIB supply chain.
CMMC Level 2 · CUI · DIBOn-premises servers, NAS storage, file sharing, and Active Directory setup — procurement through full handoff with documentation. Built properly so your team can operate it without IT being a daily problem.
On-Prem · NAS · Active DirectoryAutomated backups that run on schedule, store offsite, and restore when needed. We test recovery, document the process, and make sure you survive ransomware, hardware failure, or human error. Every business needs this.
Every Business Needs ThisMulti-location connectivity for Austin companies with remote offices, satellite facilities, or distributed operations. Reliable, documented, and centrally managed — whether you have two locations or twenty.
Multi-Site · Failover · SD-WANThe Austin-Round Rock metro has a deeper defense industrial base than most people realize — and the regulatory pressure on that base is increasing. CMMC Level 2 certification is becoming mandatory for defense contractors handling CUI. Vaelance helps Austin DIB companies get there.
Defense contractors and IT service firms supporting Texas National Guard operations and Camp Mabry-adjacent programs face evolving CUI handling requirements. Vaelance builds compliant environments for that supply chain.
Austin's growing defense tech sector — autonomous systems, signals intelligence, and advanced manufacturing startups — often needs CMMC-aligned infrastructure before they can pursue DoD contract vehicles. We build it from day one.
Companies commercializing research from Applied Research Laboratories at UT Austin and other defense-adjacent research programs frequently inherit CUI obligations. We navigate those requirements and build compliant infrastructure that survives a DCSA review.
As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Vaelance can be counted toward SDVOSB teaming requirements on federal and defense contracts. For Austin primes and subcontractors building team sheets, that is a concrete procurement advantage.
Infrastructure problems are physical problems — cables, hardware, rack layouts, physical security. Vaelance engineers show up in person in the Greater Austin area. We assess your space, see what is actually running, and build to what we find — not to what a screenshot told us.
Austin-area businesses often compete for talent and contracts with companies that have enterprise-grade infrastructure. Your IT can either be a liability in those conversations or an asset. Vaelance builds environments that stand up to scrutiny — from a customer, a prime contractor, or an auditor.
A dense concentration of tech companies, defense contractors, semiconductor IP, and VC-backed startups makes Austin a high-value target. Business email compromise, ransomware, and supply chain intrusions are not theoretical here. The businesses getting hit are exactly the size that thinks they are too small to matter.
Every engagement has one owner who sees it through — not a ticket queue, not escalations, not a dispatcher sending someone you have never met. We built and defended communications infrastructure where failure was not acceptable. That standard is what Austin clients get.
Vaelance covers the full Austin-Round Rock metropolitan area and surrounding counties. If your business is in the greater Austin region, we are on-site. No referrals. No subcontractors. The same senior engineer who scopes the job does the work.
We walk your space or review your environment remotely, document what we find, and give you a straight priority list. No sales pitch. No obligation. Just an honest picture of where your infrastructure stands.
