What Dox does

Dox Electronics, Inc. is a privately held IT and cybersecurity services firm headquartered in Rochester, New York, with a secondary office in Amherst (Buffalo). Founded in 1982 (with one source citing 1984), the company provides managed IT, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance services primarily to Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors, manufacturers, financial institutions, and government organizations across the United States. The firm has positioned itself as a specialist in federal defense compliance frameworks — CMMC, DFARS/NIST 800-171, GCC High — and operates separate gap-assessment and remediation teams to maintain independence in compliance work.

Its service portfolio spans cybersecurity assessments, penetration testing, Network Access Control (NAC) built on Fortinet's FortiNAC and FortiGate, SCADA/OT security for industrial environments, cloud migration on Microsoft Azure (with GCC High specialization for DoD contractors), and managed IT support. Proprietary technology includes DoxRiskRadar, a risk monitoring platform (formerly "Dox Box"), plus add-on modules such as Secure Enclave and SD-WAN Security. The firm is a Microsoft Gold Partner with certified reseller status for Microsoft 365 GCC High licensing (including the differentiated ability to serve sub-500-license defense contractors), a Fortinet partner, and an Exostar partner for DIB collaboration.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements (cybersecurity assessments, compliance audits), recurring managed services (IT support and the TotalCare product), and Microsoft GCC High licensing resale. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large DIB/manufacturing/government clients and inside sales for mid-market customers, supported by content marketing (CMMC Tip of the Day, blog, webinars), events, and partner co-sell. No external funding, M&A activity, or revenue figures are disclosed in available sources.
