The Fulcrum Group, a leading provider of outsourced IT services for businesses and government agencies across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, announced a new partnership with CyberQP, a developer of cybersecurity and automation solutions for managed service providers. Through this collaboration, The Fulcrum Group will deploy CyberQP’s QGuard and QDesk solutions to strengthen IT security and compliance for its public safety and municipal clients, which operate under the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) framework.
“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.”
The CJIS Security Policy, particularly version 6.0, imposes rigorous requirements on law enforcement and justice organizations. Steve Meek, CEO of The Fulcrum Group, noted, “With enhancements in CJIS Security Policy version 6.0, public safety organizations face new requirements to improve IT security. 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 account risks remain a significant vulnerability. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), service accounts are often exploited due to weak or unmanaged credentials. The new capabilities provide 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 Fulcrum Group, based in Keller, Texas, has served healthcare, manufacturing, local government, nonprofits, and other industries for over 20 years. Its STARpower framework aims to deliver strategic, results-driven IT solutions. CyberQP, with its Zero Trust Access Management platform, provides Privileged Access Management (PAM) and End-User Access Management (EUAM) solutions, backed by SOC 2 Type 2 certification.

This initiative reinforces The Fulcrum Group’s mission to deliver one technology solution that provides peace of mind through security, compliance, and responsive IT support. The partnership addresses the critical need for robust cybersecurity in public safety, ensuring that agencies can focus on their core mission without compromising on data protection.
