Cybersecurity
Layered security that protects your business, assets, and money
DCS layers protection across your devices, user accounts, email, and network, with around-the-clock monitoring, so one click or missed alert does not turn into a costly outage.
Layered security
Protection at every layer
- Endpoint detection and response
- 24/7 security operations center monitoring
- Identity threat detection and response
- Security log monitoring (SIEM)
- Security awareness training
- Email security and filtering
CIS Controls baseline · HIPAA, PCI DSS, FTC Safeguards, and NIST assessments
The real cost of downtime
How much do you lose an hour?
Think about what happens when email stops, your website goes dark, computers will not start, or the internet goes down. Work stops, customers wait, and the costs add up. A ransomware attack or a fraudulent payment request can cost far more.
That is why we frame security around the business: protecting company assets and money, and keeping your doors open.
- Email Quotes, invoices, and customer conversations stop
- Website Customers cannot find you, contact you, or buy from you
- Computers Your team cannot do their jobs
- Internet Cloud apps, phones, and card payments can go offline
Quick math: people affected × hourly cost per person + lost sales + recovery costs. Run the numbers for your business, then ask what an hour of prevention is worth.
Layered protection
Security services that work together
No single product stops every attack. Each layer covers gaps in the others, and our team watches over all of them.
Endpoint detection and response
Computers and servers are watched for suspicious behavior, with a 24/7 security operations center that investigates threats and helps contain them before they spread.
Identity threat detection and response
Stolen passwords and hijacked sign-ins are a common way in. We monitor Microsoft 365 sign-ins and account activity for signs of compromise and respond.
Security log monitoring (SIEM)
Security events from your systems are collected and analyzed in one place, so suspicious patterns get noticed and there is a record when you need one.
Security awareness training
Short, practical training and simulated phishing emails help your team spot scams, turning your people into a layer of defense.
Email security
Secure email filtering blocks phishing, malware, and impersonation attempts before they reach the inbox, where many attacks begin.
Vulnerability scanning
Regular scans find missing updates and weak settings, so we can fix exposures before an attacker finds them.
Frameworks and compliance
A clear standard to measure against
When a client has no other framework, we use the CIS Critical Security Controls as the baseline. They are a practical, prioritized set of safeguards that fit small and mid-sized businesses.
If your business needs to meet HIPAA, PCI DSS, the FTC Safeguards Rule, NIST CSF 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, or a combination, we can monitor, scan, and assess your environment against those frameworks, and other frameworks as your industry or contracts require, and help you close the gaps.
Cyber insurance applications and renewals ask detailed questions about how you protect email, devices, accounts, and backups. We treat those requirements as part of your bigger security strategy, not a last-minute checklist.
Managed IT clients can also check where they stand with a self-service compliance assessment in the client portal. Need help with a framework now? Ask about compliance help.
How we measure
Frameworks we assess against
Choose a framework to ask about compliance help. We also help with combinations, and other frameworks as your industry or contracts require. Cyber insurance requirements are built into the plan.
How it works
From assessment to around-the-clock protection
A practical path that tackles the biggest risks first.
01
Assess
A Free Risk Assessment scans your computers and shows where your business is exposed, with CIS Controls or your required framework as the standard we measure against.
02
Prioritize
You get a plain-language plan that addresses the biggest risks to your assets and money first.
03
Protect
We put the security layers in place and train your team, with as little disruption as possible.
04
Monitor and improve
Around-the-clock monitoring, regular scans, and quarterly reviews keep your protection current.
FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
Still have a question? Call (208) 642-9099 or send us a message.
What is endpoint detection and response with a 24/7 SOC?
Endpoint detection and response watches computers and servers for suspicious behavior, not just known viruses. A security operations center (SOC) staffed around the clock reviews alerts, investigates threats, and helps contain affected devices, including nights and weekends.
Can you guarantee we will never be hacked?
No one can honestly promise that. Layered security makes attacks harder to pull off, catches them earlier, and limits the damage, and verified backups make recovery possible if something does get through.
Which security frameworks do you work with?
When a client has no other required framework, we use the CIS Critical Security Controls as the baseline. We can also monitor, scan, and assess your environment against HIPAA, PCI DSS, the FTC Safeguards Rule, NIST CSF 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, or NIST SP 800-53, or a combination, and other frameworks as your industry or contracts require. Managed IT clients can also check where they stand against any of the seven with a self-service compliance assessment in the client portal.
Can you help with our cyber insurance questionnaire?
Yes. We help you understand what insurers are asking about, such as multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, email security, and backups, and we build those requirements into your overall security strategy. Your insurer makes the coverage decisions.
Is cybersecurity included in managed IT?
Our Elite Managed IT plans include the layered security services described on this page. If you are not on a managed plan, ask us about the options for your business.
