Yes. Small businesses are frequently targeted because they often lack basic protections. Practical layered security — MFA, email filtering and endpoint protection — significantly reduces your risk without enterprise-level complexity.
Endpoint Detection and Response goes beyond traditional antivirus by monitoring behaviour on devices and alerting on suspicious activity. For most businesses handling sensitive data, EDR is a worthwhile upgrade over basic antivirus.
We implement security controls aligned to common frameworks and regulatory requirements — including MFA, access policies, logging and backup testing — and provide documentation to support audits.
We follow documented incident response procedures: contain the threat, assess impact, restore from backups if needed and review what happened to prevent recurrence. Managed services clients receive priority response.
It works best that way. Security monitoring, patching and backup verification are all part of our managed services offering — cyber security builds on that foundation with additional assessment, tooling and awareness.
