Cybersecurity for Small & Medium Businesses
Security that fits how SMBs actually work—without slowing teams down. We harden endpoints, email, identity, and backups, and put real response processes in place so incidents are contained quickly and reported clearly.
What’s included
- Endpoint protection (EDR) & server hardening
- Email security (phishing/impersonation filtering, safe links/attachments)
- Zero-trust access (MFA, conditional access, least privilege)
- Backup & disaster recovery testing (restore verification and playbooks)
- User awareness training & phishing drills
- Policies, risk register & incident response runbooks (PIPA/PIPEDA-aligned)

Why it matters for SMBs
Attackers increasingly target small businesses with credential stuffing, phishing, and ransomware. The single biggest risk is unmonitored change—new devices, new apps, and new identities. We reduce risk by enforcing MFA, segmenting access, validating backups, and training users to spot threats. You’ll see the impact in lower incident rates and faster recoveries.
Our approach (Baseline → Enhanced → Advanced)
Baseline (day one): MFA, EDR, email filtering, secure backups, admin hygiene, logging on key systems.
Enhanced: conditional access policies, privileged access separation, device compliance rules, geo/IP controls, DNS filtering.
Advanced: risk monitoring, SIEM/Sentinel integration, Just-in-Time admin, automated isolation workflows, tabletop exercises.
Already have internal IT? Our Co-Managed IT model lets your team keep control while we bring tooling and response depth.
Onboarding & testing cadence
Week 1–2: security audit, quick-win fixes, MFA rollout, backup verification.
30 days: EDR tuning, email policies, conditional access templates.
60–90 days: DR test, phishing baseline & training campaign, policy sign-offs.
Quarterly: vulnerability review, phishing drill, DR test or restore sample, roadmap.
Need help beyond security? Our Managed IT team handles patching, asset management, and user support so controls stay enforced.
Compliance & privacy (PIPA/PIPEDA mindful)
We map controls to PIPA/PIPEDA obligations, including access restriction, breach response timelines, and secure data handling. For regulated industries (healthcare, legal, accounting), we provide policy templates, audit-friendly documentation, and evidence collection (logs, test reports).

FAQ
What’s the minimum we should have in place?
MFA on all accounts, EDR on endpoints/servers, email security, encrypted offsite backups, and restore testing at least quarterly.
Do you help during an active incident?
Yes. We contain and triage first, then perform root-cause analysis and hardening. We also help with notifications aligned to PIPA/PIPEDA.
Will security slow our team down?
We design controls to be unobtrusive—SSO with MFA, safe-link scanning, and conditional access that adapts to risk without constant prompts.
