In Baltimore’s construction scene, speed and precision win the day. Whether you’re keeping crews moving with Procore or collaborating on blueprints through BIM, your team depends on tech that doesn’t break down, glitch out, or get compromised.
But here’s the catch: the same tools that help you build faster are also what make you a bigger target. And most construction firms? They’re not ready.
At OmegaCor, we support local contractors, developers, and tradespeople who need more than “just IT support.” You need real protection for your field tools and project data – without slowing down the work.
Let’s walk through what’s at stake, where the gaps are, and how to protect your team, your timelines, and your bottom line.
Why Cybercriminals Are Targeting Construction Firms
Construction might not scream “cyber target,” but that’s exactly why it’s happening. Baltimore firms are storing millions in blueprints, contracts, and schedules across platforms like Procore and BIM, often with limited protection.
And attackers know it.
Here’s why construction teams are being targeted:
- Valuable project data. Procore and BIM files contain high-dollar details: blueprints, change orders, budgets, and vendor info.
- Decentralized workforces. Crews access files from trailers, trucks, and jobsite Wi-Fi – often without secure connections.
- Fast-paced environments. IT risks get pushed aside when deadlines are tight and things need to “just work.”
- Gaps in training. Not every subcontractor or PM can spot a phishing email or knows what MFA even is.
One ransomware attack could freeze your platform access, delay a pour, derail a timeline, or even cost you the next bid. That’s not a tech issue; that’s a business risk.
How BIM and Procore Become Vulnerable
Procore and BIM are powerful tools. But when they’re set up without the right security, they leave doors wide open, especially in fast-moving environments like Baltimore.
Here’s where we see the biggest risks:
- Shared or weak passwords among crew members
- No multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Personal devices used to access jobsite platforms
- Forgotten logins from old subcontractors
- Unpatched software or outdated plugins
These aren’t fancy attacks. They’re basic mistakes that leave you wide open, and most firms don’t know until it’s too late.
What Smarter Cybersecurity Looks Like on a Jobsite
Cybersecurity shouldn’t be a burden. For construction, it should be built for real life: fast-paced, on-the-go, and full of moving parts.
Here’s what it looks like when it’s done right:
1. Access Controls That Make Sense
Your electricians don’t need access to every file. Neither do your former subs. We help set up clear role-based permissions – so the right people have access and the wrong ones don’t.
2. MFA Everywhere, No Excuses
Multi-factor authentication is one of the easiest ways to stop breaches. We make sure it’s enforced across all your tools, including BIM and Procore.
3. Mobile & Field Device Security
Your crew’s tablets and phones can’t be afterthoughts. We secure mobile access, install protections, and make sure devices can be wiped remotely if lost or stolen.
4. Jobsite Network Segmentation
If your field trailer’s internet is on the same network as your office, you’ve got a problem. One infected machine shouldn’t take down your entire operation.
5. Threat Monitoring That Watches While You Work
We monitor suspicious logins, access attempts, and risky behavior in real time. That means we can respond before it becomes a headline.
6. Patch Management & Updates
Old plugins, unpatched devices, outdated integrations, they’re easy ways in for attackers. We keep your systems current and secure.
7. Crew-Friendly Cyber Hygiene
We train your team on what to click, what to report, and how to protect access. No IT jargon, just practical help your people will understand.
What It Feels Like When IT Breaks Mid-Project
We’ve seen it firsthand:
- Procore goes offline — and no one has access to the updated change orders.
- Your BIM platform gets breached — and you lose days tracking down what was accessed.
- A subcontractor shares a link from a phishing email — and now your credentials are exposed.
It only takes one breach to lose trust, miss a deadline, or risk a contract.
But when you’ve got your tech locked in, your platforms become a strategic advantage, not a liability.
You’re Not Supposed to Be a Cybersecurity Expert
You build things. You run teams. You manage real projects with real risks and tighter deadlines than ever.
You don’t have time to chase down every software update or double-check who’s using what app on which jobsite device.
That’s what we’re here for.
At OmegaCor, we help Baltimore construction teams:
- Secure their BIM and Procore environments with confidence
- Protect jobsite Wi-Fi, mobile devices, and cloud access
- Meet compliance and insurance requirements without losing sleep
- Respond fast, whether you’re in the field or back at the office
- Plan ahead so IT scales with your growth
This isn’t about adding complexity. It’s about giving you fewer things to worry about.
