Threat Protection & Monitoring

A layered security strategy with more protection included as standard

Cyber threats evolve daily, and businesses can no longer rely on just antivirus or email filters to stay safe. Real protection comes from a layered, joined-up approach that covers your devices, identities, cloud apps and people.

Our approach is different. We build a complete security framework around your business and we include more features as standard than most other MSP’s.

Where many providers treat advanced monitoring as a premium extra, we include enterprise-grade EDR and 24/7 MDR threat detection in every support package.

Our Layered Cyber Defence Approach

Instead of a collection of disconnected tools, we deliver a cohesive security model which ensures every layer reinforces the next, from prevention to detection to response. If one layer misses a threat, the next layer is designed to catch it.

And because we believe security should never be optional, our baseline starts higher. We give every customer a level of protection normally reserved for enterprise budgets.

Layer 1 — Essential Security Controls

A stronger-than-average baseline that stops everyday attacks

This layer delivers the fundamental protections every business needs across devices, email, networks and Microsoft 365. It’s the frontline that blocks the majority of common threats before they reach your users.

This layer alone prevents most everyday security incidents long before they become problems.

Endpoint Protection & Threat Prevention

Next-generation antivirus, secure configurations, patching, and disk encryption stop ransomware, malware and exploit attempts early.

Spam and phishing detection, malware scanning, and correct email authentication (DMARC, SPF, DKIM) block the majority of malicious messages.

DNS filtering, secure firewall configuration, and safe Wi-Fi setups reduce risk from unsafe browsing and network-based attacks.

Mandatory MFA, secure access controls, removal of unused accounts and baseline conditional access policies prevent the top cause of M365 breaches: compromised identities.

Layer 2 — Advanced Detection & Response

EDR + 24/7 MDR included as standard, not as a premium upgrade

This is where we stand out. We include both EDR and 24/7 MDR as standard in every support package. This means your business is watched over day and night by UK-based security experts who investigate suspicious behaviour and respond immediately.

This layer gives you the visibility and response required to stop sophisticated threats early — not after the damage is done.

EDR: Behaviour-based threat detection

Identifies ransomware behaviour, privilege abuse, malicious scripts and suspicious activity traditional antivirus cannot see.

A dedicated ThreatOps team triages alerts, confirms genuine incidents, isolates affected devices and provides step-by-step remediation guidance.

Monitors Microsoft 365 for unusual logins, risky app permissions, admin changes and other early indicators of compromise.

For organisations needing full log correlation across devices, cloud apps and networks.

Layer 3 — Microsoft 365 Monitoring

Real-time insight where most breaches begin

Proactive visibility into the platform where most breaches begin. Microsoft 365 is one of the most targeted areas of any business, with many security incidents starting from compromised identities or misconfigurations.

We provide continuous, real-time monitoring of your Microsoft 365 environment to identify risks early, maintain security best practice, and ensure your setup stays aligned as your business evolves.

Proactive Monitoring & Insight

Continuous visibility of admin activity, user behaviour, and system changes to detect early signs of risk.

Identification and remediation of unsafe configurations and security baseline drift.

Monitoring for suspicious mailbox, SharePoint, and user activity that may indicate compromise.

Layer 4 — Advanced Email & Identity Protection

Defending against modern phishing, impersonation and social-engineering

AI-driven phishing, deepfake scams and identity-based attacks are rising rapidly. This layer strengthens two of your highest-risk areas: your inbox and your identity.

This layer addresses the most common starting points for modern cyberattacks, giving you confidence your team and systems are protected.

Advanced Email Security

Impersonation defence, spoofing protection, enhanced phishing detection and malicious mailbox rule monitoring.

Conditional access, session controls, geo-blocking, secure password governance and optional password manager integration.

IT Support with 24/7 security monitoring built in as standard. For everyone.
