Public Safety & 911 · Flagship practice
Protect the lifeline your community depends on.
PSAPs, Emergency Communications Centers, and 911 dispatch are lifelines for the communities they serve. We deliver resilient, standards-aligned cybersecurity that keeps those lifelines up — so your teams can focus on saving lives.
PSAP cybersecurity protects 911 dispatch centers — Public Safety Answering Points — from cyberattacks that could interrupt emergency call handling. Because a 911 center cannot go offline, Intuitus delivers 24/7 monitoring, NG911 and CJIS-aligned controls, and rapid incident response built specifically for life-safety operations, keeping emergency services available when communities need them most.
The risk
The move to NG911 expanded the attack surface that keeps 911 answering.
IP-based call routing, CAD, and interconnected agencies brought resilience — and new ways for attackers to disrupt dispatch.
- Ransomware that halts CAD and forces dispatch to manual operations
- Telephony and radio degradation that delays response
- Credential compromise and after-hours escalation gaps
- NG911 IP attack surface across interconnected ESInets
- Third-party and vendor access into critical systems
- CJIS exposure when controls or evidence lapse
What an outage costs a PSAP
When dispatch goes down, the cost isn’t measured in dollars first.
Delayed response, eroded public trust, manual fallback under pressure, and regulatory scrutiny — all while the community still expects you to answer. Resilience is the mission, not a checkbox.
How we protect dispatch
Coverage across the full lifecycle.
Prevent
NG-SEC readiness reviews, penetration testing, and network hardening for CAD and ESInet.
Detect
24/7 U.S.-based SOC monitoring tuned to public-safety environments and threats.
Respond
Incident response built for dispatch continuity — fast containment, clear escalation.
Recover
Tabletop exercises for ransomware, CAD outage, radio degradation, and after-hours escalation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is PSAP cybersecurity?
PSAP cybersecurity protects Public Safety Answering Points — 911 dispatch centers — from cyberattacks that could disrupt emergency call handling. It covers continuous monitoring, NG911 network security, CJIS compliance, and rapid incident response tailored to life-safety operations.
Why do 911 dispatch centers need specialized security?
A 911 center cannot go offline. Downtime is a public-safety emergency, and NG911 systems expand the attack surface with IP-based networks. Security has to be 24/7, resilient, and built around continuity of emergency services.
What is NG911 cybersecurity?
NG911 (Next Generation 911) replaces legacy analog 911 with IP-based networks that carry voice, text, images, and data. NG911 cybersecurity secures those networks per NENA standards such as NG-SEC and STA-040.2, which Intuitus contributes to.
Does Intuitus support CJIS and NENA compliance?
Yes. Intuitus aligns public-safety engagements with CJIS Security Policy and NENA NG911 / NG-SEC standards, and supports the documentation and controls agencies need to demonstrate compliance.
