Security controls that hold up under a real attack.
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, endpoint protection, email defense and the documentation your insurer or auditor is going to ask for.
Most breaches start with a password
The attacks that actually hit small and mid-sized businesses are rarely sophisticated. Someone reuses a password, enters it on a convincing fake login page, and an attacker is inside a mailbox reading invoices and waiting for a wire transfer to discuss. No malware required.
That is why we start with identity: multi-factor authentication on every account, conditional access rules that reject sign-ins that make no sense, and administrative accounts kept separate from the ones people use to read email. From there we work outward to devices, email, network and backup, so that a single failure is not a total one.
We also write it down. If you carry cyber insurance, bid on contracts, or answer to a client's security questionnaire, the evidence matters as much as the control.
- MFA rollout and conditional access policy in Entra ID
- Privileged account separation and access review
- Endpoint detection and response, monitored
- Email security: filtering, impersonation defense, DMARC, SPF and DKIM
- Patch and vulnerability management
- Backup verification and tested recovery
- Network segmentation and firewall policy review
- Security awareness training and phishing simulation
- Written policies, diagrams and evidence for insurers and auditors
- Incident response plan, agreed before you need it
Compliance work
If you supply the defense industrial base, handle regulated data, or have a customer sending you a security questionnaire, the requirement is usually not new technology — it is proof. We help clients assemble that: control mapping, policy documents, system security plans and the evidence trail behind them.
We have done this work alongside CMMC-driven requirements, and we will tell you plainly which controls you already satisfy, which need a change in configuration, and which need a purchase.
Microsoft 365 is not backed up
Retention is not backup. Deleted or encrypted mail and files can leave you with nothing to restore from.
Antivirus alone is not a plan
Detection without response just produces alerts nobody reads at 2am.
Your people are the control
Training plus a culture where reporting a mistake is safe stops more incidents than most software purchases.
Common questions
Where should a small business start?
Multi-factor authentication on every account, verified backups, and consistent endpoint protection. Those three cover the overwhelming majority of real-world incidents.
Will MFA slow my staff down?
Configured properly, most people authenticate once on a trusted device and rarely think about it. The friction people complain about usually comes from a poorly designed policy, not from MFA itself.
Do you help with cyber insurance questionnaires?
Yes. We map your environment against the questions, close the gaps that need closing, and give you documentation that supports the answers.
What happens if we get breached?
Containment first, then investigation, recovery and notification support. Clients with a response plan agreed in advance recover measurably faster than those improvising.
Can you assess our current security without switching providers?
Yes. We do standalone assessments and hand you the findings whether or not you engage us further.
Let's look at what you have.
A walkthrough and a written scope cost nothing. You'll get a real number before anyone shows up with a ladder.
