Attackers automate. They don't pick targets; they scan everything, and small businesses without enterprise defenses are the easy wins. Security Essentials exists so a 10-person firm can afford the same stack a 1,000-person enterprise runs.
Cybersecurity · North Carolina
Enterprise security. Small-business simple.
The same protection large enterprises run — endpoint detection, 24/7 managed response, AI-powered monitoring — packaged and priced for businesses with 5 to 500 people.
The stack
The 16 controls, in plain English
Fourteen come with Security Essentials. Threat hunting and forensics are included from MSP Ultimate up.
1
EDR
Every computer watched for malicious behavior, not just known viruses.
2
24/7 MDR
Human + AI analysts respond to threats around the clock, so 2 a.m. attacks don't wait until 9.
3
ITDR
Protects your Microsoft 365 identities — the #1 way SMBs get breached.
4
AI SOC
A security operations center that detects and reacts in minutes, not days.
5
Email security
Phishing and impersonation stopped before your team sees it.
6
Email DLP
Data Loss Prevention stops sensitive information — card numbers, client records, contracts — from leaving in an email, by accident or on purpose.
7
Email encryption
Confidential messages encrypted end to end, so only the intended recipient can open them — and you can prove it.
8
Cloud data security
Your data in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace monitored and protected.
9
Web & network security (DNS)
DNS-layer filtering blocks malicious domains and risky sites before they load — on the network and off it.
10
Patch management
Known holes closed automatically, every device, every month.
11
User awareness training
Your team becomes the strongest layer, not the weakest.
12
Phishing simulator
Safe fake attacks that teach before a real one tests.
13
Dark-web monitoring
Alerts when employee credentials show up for sale.
14
External attack surface monitoring
We see what hackers see from outside, continuously.
15
Active threat hunting MSP Ultimate and up
Analysts go looking for the attacker who is already inside and staying quiet — instead of waiting for an alert to fire.
16

Cybersecurity questions, answered
