Managed Cybersecurity
Ongoing monitoring, detection, and response to protect your systems and data. We manage security tools and processes so you can focus on your business.
What this service is (and isn’t)
- What it is
- Managed cybersecurity is ongoing monitoring, tooling, and response processes operated by specialists so threats are detected and contained without you building a SOC.
- Who it’s for
- SMBs and mid-market firms in regulated or insurance-scrutinized industries across Southern California.
- What it’s not
- It is not a one-time scan or annual pen test alone—it is continuous operations tied to playbooks.
From problem to outcome
Point tools without integration leave blind spots; alerts fatigue teams; patches slip.
In 30 days baselines and alerting tiers exist. In 90 days, incident drills and reporting align to leadership and insurers.
How it works
- AssessRisk snapshot, tool inventory, and control gaps.
- DesignStack alignment: EDR, email, identity, logging.
- DeployOnboard agents, tune detections, integrate ticketing.
- ReviewMonthly metrics, tabletop exercises, roadmap updates.
