Contact

The contact page for Orlando Security Authority describes how to submit inquiries, what information to include for an efficient response, and what general timeframes are realistic for a public-sector cybersecurity reference resource. This page covers inquiry types ranging from vendor listing requests to regulatory research questions, and outlines the structural boundaries of what this reference addresses versus what requires a licensed security professional or legal counsel.

What to include in your message

Effective inquiries share a set of structural characteristics that allow routing to the correct reference area without repeated back-and-forth. The following breakdown applies to the four primary inquiry types handled through this contact channel:

1. Sector-specific research requests — Name the Orlando industry vertical relevant to the question. The reference network covers distinct sector pages including Orlando Healthcare Cybersecurity, Orlando Financial Services Cybersecurity, Orlando Government Cybersecurity, and Orlando Tourism & Hospitality Cybersecurity, among others. Identifying the applicable sector reduces ambiguity.

2. Regulatory or compliance framework questions — Cite the specific statute, framework, or agency where known. Florida's cybersecurity regulatory landscape intersects with the Florida Digital Service (established under Chapter 282, Florida Statutes), the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), NIST SP 800-53 (published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, csrc.nist.gov), and federal frameworks including HIPAA (administered by HHS Office for Civil Rights) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Including the relevant framework name allows faster alignment with published reference material.

3. Vendor or professional directory inquiries — Specify the service category: managed security service provider, penetration testing firm, vulnerability assessment provider, or security awareness training vendor. Reference pages including Orlando Managed Security Service Providers and Orlando Penetration Testing Services cover qualification standards and scope boundaries for each category.

4. Content corrections or sourcing disputes — Identify the specific page URL, the claim in question, and the named public source that contradicts or updates the published information. Claims are sourced to named agencies, statutory codes, or published standards bodies; corrections require equivalent sourcing.

Messages that omit sector, framework, or specific page context typically require a clarifying exchange before substantive response is possible.

Response expectations

This resource operates as a public-sector reference authority, not a managed service or consulting desk. general timeframes reflect that structural distinction.

General content and research inquiries typically receive a reply within 3 to 5 business days. Vendor listing and directory inquiries are processed on a 10-business-day cycle, as those require cross-referencing against Florida DBPR licensee records (myfloridalicense.com) and relevant certification databases.

Inquiries asking for individualized legal advice, incident response guidance specific to an active breach, or direct assessment of a named organization's security posture fall outside the scope of this reference. Active incident situations in the Orlando metro should be directed to the Florida Cyber Emergency Response Team (FL-CERT) under the Florida Department of Management Services, or to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at cisa.gov/report. Organizations subject to a data breach notification obligation under Florida's Information Protection Act (Section 501.171, Florida Statutes) should consult licensed legal counsel.

Comparison requests — for example, Type A managed detection and response (MDR) contracts versus Type B co-managed SIEM arrangements — are within scope when framed as reference questions about the service landscape rather than as procurement recommendations for a specific organization.
