Cybersecurity Services in Chesapeake, Virginia

Start with the providers listed on this page, which serve Chesapeake either from Virginia locations or remotely.

Our guide on how to choose a cybersecurity provider lists the questions to ask.

Providers in this directory that list CMMC services and serve Chesapeake include Capital Cyber and CMMC Ready Now and Telco United. We do not rank providers or describe any of them as CMMC certified, because CMMC is a Department of Defense program that assesses defense contractors. Ask any consultant to explain the current DoD requirements: on July 13, 2026 DoD suspended CMMC Phase II, and Phase I self-assessments remain in place.

If a breach of unencrypted personal information causes, or you reasonably believe it has caused or will cause, identity theft or other fraud to a Virginia resident, you must notify the Office of the Attorney General and every affected resident without unreasonable delay. If you notify more than 1,000 people at one time, you must also notify the Attorney General and the consumer reporting agencies. Source: Code of Virginia, section 18.2-186.6.
