Managed cybersecurity services that break the attack chain

Managed cybersecurity means a provider operates your security controls as an ongoing service rather than selling you tools to run yourself. It covers configuration, enforcement, maintenance, alert review, response procedures and documentation across email, identity, endpoints, applications, network and backups. Buying antivirus, turning on MFA or installing a firewall is not the same thing: the tools are only worth what the operating discipline behind them is worth.

Small businesses are attacked because they are reachable and often under-defended, not because anyone singled them out. Most incidents we see start the same mundane way: a convincing email, a reused password, or software nobody vetted. The controls that stop those are unglamorous and affordable. What is genuinely hard for a small business is operating them consistently, which is the part that gets outsourced.

Security is not sold separately from managed IT. It is part of both plans: Managed IT Essentials at $85 per seat per month includes endpoint detection and response and update and policy management, and Fully Managed IT at $150 per seat per month adds the ZeroTrust application-control baseline, scheduled patching and managed backup with tested restores. A HIPAA control set is $50 per IT seat per month on top. Remediation of serious pre-existing problems and one-off projects are quoted separately.

Included. Security is how the IT is run rather than a line item bolted on to it — the same baseline applies to every managed endpoint. Controls specific to a regulated environment are the exception and are quoted on top.

Zero Trust as we apply it means software runs only if it has been approved, and approved software can only reach what it legitimately needs. That is application allow-listing plus ringfencing. The practical effect is that a malicious attachment or an unvetted download does not execute, even if someone opens it, and even if no antivirus product recognises it yet.

Traditional antivirus matches files against a list of known-bad signatures. Endpoint detection and response watches what software actually does — the behaviour — so it can flag something that has never been catalogued. EDR is included on managed endpoints. It complements application control rather than replacing it: one decides what is allowed to run, the other watches what the allowed things do.

Enforcement, alerting and automated protection run continuously, including overnight and at weekends — that part never stops. Human review and response happen during business hours, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm local time. We do not operate a 24/7 staffed security operations centre and will not claim one.

We contain and we help recover. That means isolating affected devices, disabling compromised accounts, stopping the spread, restoring from verified backups and coordinating the rebuild — using the access and documentation we already hold as the team that runs your environment. We are not a digital-forensics or emergency incident-response firm. If an incident needs formal forensic investigation, legal evidence handling or a breach-notification determination, that requires a specialist firm, and we work alongside them.

If you carry cyber insurance, check your policy first: most carriers require you to notify them before engaging anyone, and using an unapproved responder can affect a claim. Call us in parallel and we will begin containment on the systems we manage. We would rather you follow your insurer’s procedure than ours.

It stops most of it, and it is the single highest-value control for the effort involved. It is not absolute — MFA fatigue, session-token theft and help-desk social engineering all bypass it. That is why identity sits alongside email filtering, conditional access and sign-in review rather than being treated as the finish line.

Yes, both. Training covers what current attacks actually look like, and simulations test whether the training held. The output that matters is not a pass rate but which specific behaviours to reinforce, and the evidence that training happened — which insurers increasingly ask for.

Yes. We help you answer it accurately and gather the supporting evidence — MFA coverage, endpoint protection, patch status, backup and restore-testing records, access controls and training completion — and we can implement the controls a carrier requires. What we cannot do is guarantee that a policy is approved or a claim is paid. Those are decisions for your carrier and broker.

We support readiness: implementing and documenting the technical controls those frameworks expect, and a HIPAA control set is available at $50 per IT seat per month. We do not certify compliance, sign attestations or give legal advice, and no vendor can make your business compliant on its own — the obligation stays with you and usually involves your own counsel or compliance advisor.

No. Neither is part of what we deliver, so we do not advertise them. If your insurer or a client requires a penetration test, you need a specialist testing firm, and we can act on what their report finds.

It reviews email exposure, MFA coverage, administrator accounts, password practice, endpoint and patch status, application control, backup coverage and restore readiness, offboarding, firewall and remote access, training, and any cyber-insurance requirements you have been asked to meet. You get plain-language findings, a prioritised risk list, the immediate fixes and a longer-term roadmap — written down and yours to keep. It is not a penetration test or a vulnerability scan.

Yes. Under the co-managed model your team keeps ownership and we supply the security tooling, the baseline and an escalation bench behind them.

Yes. Our Gilbert headquarters covers Phoenix and the East Valley and our Greenwood Village office covers Denver and the Front Range, with same-day on-site support in both metros. Remote and hybrid staff are supported anywhere in the US.
