Fulcrum Group Partners with CyberQP to Enhance CJIS Security for DFW Public Safety IT Systems
The Fulcrum Group partners with CyberQP to deploy advanced cybersecurity solutions, helping DFW public safety agencies meet stringent CJIS compliance requirements and protect critical infrastructure.
The Fulcrum Group, a Keller, Texas-based provider of outsourced IT services for businesses and government agencies across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, has announced a new partnership with CyberQP, a developer of cybersecurity and automation solutions for managed service providers. The collaboration aims to strengthen Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance and protect public safety IT systems in the region.
Through this partnership, The Fulcrum Group will deploy CyberQP’s QGuard and QDesk solutions to enhance IT security and compliance for its public safety and municipal clients. These agencies operate under the CJIS framework, one of the most rigorous security standards governing law enforcement and justice organizations. With the introduction of CJIS Security Policy version 6.0, public safety organizations face new requirements to improve IT security.
“We’re proud to support The Fulcrum Group in protecting critical public safety infrastructure,” said Mateo Barraza, CEO of CyberQP. “CJIS compliance isn't just about checking a box—it’s about delivering real-world security that stands up to today’s threats. Our platform empowers IT providers like Fulcrum to deliver secure, efficient service while giving public safety organizations the protection they deserve.”
Steve Meek, CEO of The Fulcrum Group, emphasized the importance of the partnership in addressing evolving security challenges. “With enhancements in CJIS Security Policy version 6.0, public safety organizations face new requirements to improve IT security,” said Meek. “By combining our STARpower IT framework with CyberQP’s automation tools, we’re not just meeting those requirements—we’re improving protection for service accounts and accelerating response times for sensitive requests.”
Service accounts remain a common attack vector, often exploited due to weak or unmanaged credentials, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). The new capabilities from this partnership provide Fulcrum Group clients with automated password rotation to reduce risk exposure, real-time auditing to support compliance requirements, and stronger protection against insider and external threats. Additionally, the partnership enables more secure and efficient IT support workflows, including identity-verified processes for critical access requests such as password resets for field personnel and patrol units.
“Public safety organizations depend on reliable, compliant technology to protect our communities,” added Meek. “This partnership helps them meet CJIS requirements while making secure access simpler and faster—without sacrificing protection.”
The initiative reinforces The Fulcrum Group’s mission to deliver one technology solution, providing peace of mind through security, compliance, and responsive IT support. For more information, visit fulcrumgroup.net or cyberqp.com.
