Cybersecurity Services
Managed cybersecurity combines threat detection and response, security audits, SIEM, identity and access management, endpoint protection, and disaster recovery planning.
Security consulting for Chicago businesses facing growing cyber risk without an in-house expert. LME Services is family-run, in business since 1994, and staffed by local technicians.
Growing Chicago businesses get experienced security guidance without a full-time hire. We cover cybersecurity, compliance, and SOC guidance to reduce risk and build resilience.
Managed cybersecurity combines threat detection and response, security audits, SIEM, identity and access management, endpoint protection, and disaster recovery planning.
Assess risks, develop policies, identify gaps, monitor controls, and coordinate with auditors for HIPAA, ISO, SOC, and other industry-specific requirements.
Build a clear roadmap for SOC 1 and SOC 2 readiness, including control design, policy documentation, security gap remediation, and auditor coordination.
Most small businesses never had an in-house security expert, so gaps pile up unnoticed. Risk assessments, monitoring, identity controls, endpoint protection, and backup checks come together in one plan.
See how Chicagoland businesses stopped patching security one scare at a time. They rely on LME for practical technology, cybersecurity, and compliance support.

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.
