Cybersecurity
Managed cybersecurity for businesses without a security team
Your insurer is now asking questions your business cannot currently answer. That is usually what starts this conversation, and it is a reasonable place to start.
The problem
What changed
Cyber insurance renewals stopped being a formality. The questionnaire now asks whether you enforce multi-factor authentication everywhere, whether backups are immutable and tested, whether you have endpoint detection rather than antivirus, and how quickly you can detect an intrusion. Answer wrong and the premium moves or the cover narrows.
The same questions are arriving from clients. Any business selling into healthcare, finance, government, or a large enterprise supply chain is now being asked to evidence controls it may never have documented.
None of this requires an in-house security team. It requires a defined set of controls, running consistently, with evidence that they run. That is what this is.
What you get
What changes once this is running
Controls that are actually enforced
Multi-factor everywhere, least privilege, managed endpoint detection, and email security configured properly rather than left at the vendor default.
Backups you could survive on
Immutable copies, offsite retention, and tested restores. Ransomware recovery is decided by your backup position, not your security spend.
Detection and response
Monitoring with alerts that reach a person, and a defined response path when something fires at 2am on a Saturday.
Evidence for the questionnaire
Reporting written for the audience asking: your insurer, your enterprise client’s vendor review, or your own board.
Approach
Where we start
An assessment against the controls that insurers and enterprise buyers actually check, and a written gap list ranked by how much risk each item removes for the money.
We do not sell fear and we do not sell tooling you cannot operate. Most small businesses close the majority of their real exposure with configuration work they have already paid for inside licences they already hold.
Security controls are included across managed IT tiers. Standalone security engagements are quoted after an assessment. See the pricing page.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Our insurer sent a questionnaire we cannot answer. Can you help?
Yes, and it is a common starting point. We work through the questionnaire against your actual environment, tell you which answers are already true, and give you a ranked plan for the rest. Guessing on an insurance questionnaire is a claim-denial risk, so it is worth getting the answers verified.
Do we need this if we are small?
Attackers automate. They are not choosing you, they are scanning for an unpatched service or a password that appears in a breach dump. Small businesses are hit at similar rates and have far less capacity to absorb a week of downtime.
Is this separate from managed IT?
Security controls are included in every managed IT tier, and the Complete tier adds the full stack, compliance reporting, and 24/7 response. Standalone security work makes sense when another provider handles your day-to-day IT.
What happens if something gets through?
You get a defined response path rather than an improvised one: containment, assessment, recovery from tested backups, and a written account of what happened. The recovery position is decided long before the incident, which is why backup testing matters more than most security spending.
