Managed Cybersecurity
Comprehensive protection combining 24/7 SOC oversight, managed detection and response, SIEM, endpoint protection, identity controls, audits, and cyber insurance planning.
Cybersecurity services in Chicago that replace scattered tools with one managed program. Family-run since 1994, with local technicians who already know your setup.
Growing past one person handling security on the side leaves gaps across email, devices, and data. One layered program covers compliance, monitoring, and recovery together, not through separate vendors.
Comprehensive protection combining 24/7 SOC oversight, managed detection and response, SIEM, endpoint protection, identity controls, audits, and cyber insurance planning.
Risk assessments, gap analysis, policies, control implementation, monitoring, and audit coordination for HIPAA, ISO, SOC, and industry-specific requirements.
Practical guidance through SOC 1 and SOC 2 readiness, including control design, policy development, security-gap remediation, and coordination with an AICPA-certified CPA auditor.
Automated, offsite backups for servers, workstations, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and cloud data, with ransomware-resistant versioning and periodic restore testing.
Proactive, around-the-clock monitoring identifies threats and technical issues in real time, with experienced technicians ready to investigate and resolve problems remotely.
Secure Microsoft 365 deployment and administration, including email security, user access, licensing, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams support, backups, and audit services.
If the same security scare keeps returning after your provider calls it fixed, the root cause was missed. We protect your people, devices, email, and data together, with tested recovery.
Chicago businesses that outgrew patchwork security show how one managed program changed their day. See what switching looked like for them.

Founder
Leon Engelking is the Founder of LME Services, having launched the company in 1994 after a career at IBM during the early rise of Microsoft and personal computing. Recognizing an underserved population of business owners who needed dependable, practical IT support as internet adoption emerged, Leon built LME from the ground up to meet that need. Over more than three decades, he guided the company through major technology shifts, including ransomware growth, cloud computing adoption, and the transition to remote work. His vision established LME's family-run culture and its commitment to long-term client relationships throughout Chicagoland. Leon's legacy continues to shape the company's values of security-first operations and dedicated, personalized service for small and mid-size businesses across the region.
Cybersecurity consulting at LME Services is priced according to the scope of work. Pricing for compliance management and for fully managed services, which include cybersecurity, monitoring, backups, updates, and support, depends on the number of users and devices, the systems in scope, and compliance requirements. A consultation helps define the required controls, systems, and compliance obligations before a custom quote is issued.
