Security That Someone Is Actually Watching.

Managed cybersecurity means we own your security outcomes instead of selling you software and walking away. We deploy the protection, monitor it around the clock through a security operations centre staffed by real analysts, investigate every alert, and take action when something is actually wrong — isolating a machine, killing a process, disabling an account — usually before anyone at your company notices. You get the tooling, the people watching it, and someone accountable, for a flat monthly per-user fee.

Traditional antivirus matches files against a list of known-bad signatures — it catches yesterday's malware and misses anything new. EDR (endpoint detection and response) watches behaviour instead: what a program does once it is running. That is how modern attacks get caught, because most serious intrusions now use legitimate built-in tools rather than a malicious file. EDR also records what happened, so after an incident you can prove what was and was not touched. Managed EDR adds the part most small businesses cannot staff — humans reviewing the detections 24/7.

MDR is managed detection and response: the software plus a 24/7 team that investigates and responds on your behalf. A SOC — security operations centre — is that team. Almost no business under a few hundred staff can afford to run one internally, because 24/7 coverage takes a minimum of five or six analysts. Buying it as a service is what makes round-the-clock response affordable at small-business scale. Most breaches start outside business hours precisely because attackers know nobody is watching.

Either. If you are running Microsoft Defender, Sophos, SentinelOne or something else and it is doing its job, we can manage and monitor it rather than rip it out — that is often the faster and cheaper path. Where a tool is genuinely leaving you exposed, we will say so, show you the gap, and give you the cost of closing it. We are not locked to one vendor, and we do not charge you for a migration you did not need.

Our security plans start at $25 per user per month layered onto managed IT, and a security-led plan with a 24/7 SOC, email protection and awareness training typically lands between $45 and $85 per user per month depending on how much of the stack you need and your compliance requirements. You get an itemised quote after a free assessment — no per-incident billing, and no charge for the assessment itself.

No, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling. Endpoint-first platforms like Huntress and CrowdStrike are excellent at endpoint, identity and 24/7 response, but neither ships an email gateway, a perimeter firewall, backup, or true mobile device management. Sophos covers more of the hardware and email side in-house but is not automatically the right answer on endpoint. A real security programme is assembled from several vendors, and the useful question is not which brand you buy but who is accountable when something fires at 3am. That is the job we take.

Yes. Most small businesses come to us because an insurer, a client security questionnaire or an auditor asked for something they could not answer — MFA everywhere, EDR on every endpoint, offsite immutable backups, logged access, documented awareness training. Those are the same controls that genuinely reduce risk, so we map your current state against what is being asked, close the gaps in priority order, and give you the documentation to evidence it.

Detection and containment run continuously — the SOC can isolate a compromised endpoint from the network automatically, at any hour, without waiting for a human at your end to approve it. For anything requiring judgement you will have a named engineer engaged the same business day, and we will tell you plainly what happened, what was contained, and what you are obliged to disclose.
