Small Business. Big Target.
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses — and most don't have the security to stop them. Here's what you actually need, explained in plain English.
The Reality for Small Businesses
If you think your business is too small to be a target, that's exactly what attackers are counting on. Small businesses are targeted precisely because they typically have weaker security than large corporations — but still have valuable data, bank accounts, and client information worth stealing.
A single ransomware attack can lock every file in your office. A compromised email account can send fraudulent invoices to your clients. A data breach can trigger regulatory penalties, lawsuits, and loss of trust that takes years to rebuild — if the business survives at all.
The good news: you don't need a massive budget or an in-house security team. You need the right layers of protection, properly configured and actively monitored. That's what we do.
What Your Business Actually Needs
Real security isn't one product — it's layers that work together. Here's what each one does and why it matters.
Endpoint Detection & Response
A security guard for every computer in your office.
Antivirus catches known threats — the ones that have been seen before. EDR watches for suspicious behavior in real time: unusual file access, programs running where they shouldn't, attempts to disable security tools. When something looks wrong, our security team gets alerted and responds in an average of 8 minutes. Not a popup. Not a log entry. A real analyst taking action.
Why it matters: Antivirus alone misses roughly half of modern threats. EDR closes that gap.
Managed Detection & Response
A 24/7 security team watching your email and cloud accounts.
Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account is one of the most valuable targets an attacker can hit — it has your email, your files, your contacts, and often your financial data. MDR monitors these accounts around the clock for signs of compromise: unusual login locations, suspicious email rules, bulk file downloads, and more.
Why it matters: Most business email compromises happen outside of work hours. MDR means someone is watching even when you're not.
Security Information & Event Management
A central dashboard that connects the dots across all your systems.
Individual security tools generate thousands of alerts. A SIEM collects and correlates them — so instead of looking at 50 separate logs, your security team sees the full picture. A failed login on a workstation, followed by a suspicious email rule change, followed by a file download? That pattern means something. A SIEM catches it.
Why it matters: Attackers don't use just one trick. SIEM connects individual events into a complete threat picture.
Zero Trust Access Control
Nobody gets admin access they don't need — including us.
Zero Trust means we don't assume any user or device is safe just because it's inside your network. Every access request is verified. Administrative privileges are locked down and only elevated when needed, then immediately revoked. This stops ransomware from spreading, prevents unauthorized software installs, and limits the damage if any single account is compromised.
Why it matters: Most ransomware needs admin access to do real damage. Zero Trust takes that away.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
When the auditor calls, you're ready.
HIPAA, cyber insurance applications, vendor security questionnaires — if your business answers to regulators, insurers, or enterprise clients, you need documentation that proves your security posture. We maintain the controls, policies, and reporting so you can pass audits without scrambling. Your cyber insurance renewal shouldn't be stressful.
Why it matters: Cyber insurance carriers and regulators are tightening requirements every year. We make sure you can pass when they come knocking.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Your last line of defense when everything else fails.
Even with the best security, you need a plan for the worst case. Our backup and disaster recovery strategy covers your servers, cloud data, and critical systems with tested, verified restores. We don't just set it and forget it — we run test restores regularly to make sure your data actually comes back when you need it.
Why it matters: Ransomware and hardware failures happen. The businesses that survive are the ones that can restore their data — not the ones hoping it won't happen to them.
