Cyber➾Guard

A curated package of cybersecurity services designed and optimised for small and medium sized businesses

Today's security landscape can be a minefield for small businesses. The increasing use of automated attacks along with the rising spectre of AI-assisted exploits means that a wide range of businesses are now having to rapidly build and deploy effective cyber defences.

The commercial cybersecurity market offers a bewildering array of defensive strategies and technologies, unfortunately many of these are not accessible or suitable for smaller businesses and some of them are simply ineffective against modern threats.

Our Cyber➾Guard service is designed to help small businesses adopt a technically informed and threat-driven approach to building effective cyber defences. By combining cutting-edge technology with in-house technical expertise we provide a service that is highly focused on providing efficient and effective protection against active threats and real-world attacks.

Tailored Cybersecurity Protection

Our goal is to partner with our customers to deliver the guidance, expertise and technology needed to build and sustain an effective cyber defence.

This means that every Cyber➾Guard subscription is highly focused on mitigating the specific threats and risks that impact your business, and we will be there to support and guide you at every step.

Cyber➾Guard is delivered as a fixed-cost subscription service with the option to provide additional bolt-on consulting hours if needed. This provides predictable pricing for ongoing protection with the flexibility to handle any extra unplanned events.

We designed Cyber➾Guard to be an effective service for businesses ranging from ten to several hundred employees. While the price is largely dependent on the business size and complexity our subscriptions start from only £249 a month*.

Continuous Monitoring as Standard

Every Cyber➾Guard subscription includes comprehensive 24/7 attack surface and vulnerability monitoring using our own EdgeScope security automation platform. We will setup, maintain, and monitor an EdgeScope deployment to continually monitor and analyse your Internet-facing attack surface. Any findings are reviewed and analysed by internal security analysts, this includes:

  • Technical validation of any reported risks or vulnerabilities.

  • Balanced risk assessment in the context of your business.

  • Recommendations on the specific mitigation approaches you can take to resolve the vulnerability.

  • Mitigation validation to ensure vulnerabilities are effectively resolved.

The combination of automated analysis and skilled manual validation provided by a Cyber➾Guard subscription enables small businesses to gain access to a level of attack surface monitoring that has previously only been available to corporate customers.

Threat Intelligence: We have got you covered

Secmatics is a security company not just a technology reseller. We understand threats and vulnerabilities, we frequently write about threats and vulnerabilities, and we keep very much up to date with active threats and adversary tradecraft. We also develop our own technology stack and make sure this is fully up to date with emerging threats and newly disclosed vulnerabilities.

Cyber➾Guard customers get the benefit of dealing directly with experienced UK based security experts rather than having to navigate multiple layers of resellers, technology providers and overseas technical support groups. This means we can respond faster to emerging threats and provide meaningful security guidance based on real-word experience and knowledge.
