Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Services

You have antivirus and a firewall. The honest question is what either one has caught this year, and whether anyone would notice if something got past.

Who this is for, and what it fixes

You have antivirus and a firewall, and no clear picture of what either one is actually catching.

If one of these sounds familiar, this is usually the right conversation.

Your cyber insurance renewal asked questions you could not answer.
A customer sent you a security questionnaire and you are not sure what to write.
You hold customer, patient, or financial data and want to know what is protecting it.
You have security tools already and no idea whether anyone is watching them.

What you get out of it

You can see what is being blocked, and by what, instead of hoping.
A bad afternoon stays an afternoon rather than becoming a shutdown.
Your staff learn to spot the message that starts an incident.
An insurance or customer questionnaire has answers you can actually give.

What we do about it

Security works in layers, because any single control can be worked around. We put protection on the devices, on the accounts, on the network, and on email, and then we watch what those layers report.

The watching is the part most small companies are missing. Tools generate alerts constantly, and an alert nobody reads is the same as no alert at all. Ours are reviewed by people, and the ones that matter turn into action rather than into a monthly report.

We also work on the parts that are not software. Who has administrator rights and why, what happens when somebody leaves, and whether your staff can recognize a convincing email. Most incidents we see start with a person, not a firewall.

What is included

Managed detection and response

Protection on every endpoint, monitored continuously, with a team that investigates what it finds instead of forwarding you an alert.

Email security

Filtering for the messages that carry the payload, plus the authentication records that make your domain harder to impersonate.

Identity and access

Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and a real review of who holds administrator rights and whether they still need them.

Backup you can recover from

Separated from your production systems, so a bad day is a restore rather than a negotiation.

Awareness training

Short, regular, and specific to what your staff actually receive. Not an annual video nobody remembers.

Incident response

A written plan for who does what, agreed before you need it, and our people on the phone when you do.

How it works, step by step

We find out what you are protected by nowAntivirus, firewall, filtering, mail rules, and who has access to what. Most companies have more than they think in some places and nothing at all in others.
We close the gaps that matter firstRanked by what an attacker would actually use, not by what is easiest to sell. You see the list and decide what we do in what order.
We watch it, and we act on what we seeDetection is only worth what the response is worth. Alerts reach a person who can act on them rather than an inbox nobody reads.
We keep testing the human sideSimulated phishing and short training, because the majority of incidents start with somebody being asked politely to click something.

The insurance and questionnaire angle

A growing share of this work is driven by somebody else asking. Insurers now ask specific questions about multi-factor authentication, backups, and endpoint protection, and larger customers pass their own requirements down to their suppliers. We help you answer accurately, and we would rather fix the gap than help you word around it.

Common questions

How is this priced?

Per user and per device, because that is what the protection is applied to. Layers are priced separately rather than bundled into one figure, so you can see what each one costs and decide what you want.

Assessments and remediation projects are quoted on their own after we have looked, and never rolled quietly into the monthly.

Is this not overkill for a company our size?

Small companies are targeted because they are reachable, not because anyone chose them. The controls that matter most are also the least exotic: multi-factor authentication, tested backups, monitored endpoints, and staff who can spot a bad email. That is most of the value, and it is well within reach for a business of your size.

Can you guarantee we will not be breached?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we can tell you is exactly what protection is in place, what it is watching, what it has caught, and what we would do on the day something gets through. That is a more useful thing to have than a promise.

Do we have to rip out what we already have?

Not necessarily. Some of what you own is fine and we will keep it. We start by finding out what is actually deployed and what it is doing, which in most first engagements turns out to be less than the license count suggests.
