Managed Security Services
Managed Firewall, EDR, XDR and threat management, layered together instead of bought as disconnected tools.
Checked 4 October 2026. Built from the full service page.
In short: Layered security managed as one thing rather than bought as disconnected tools. Start by finding out what your Microsoft licence already covers and whether it is switched on: in most estates we assess, the largest gain available is configuration rather than purchase.
Who this is for
The problem
Microsoft 365 ships secure defaults, but almost nobody runs them by default: MFA gaps, stale guest access, unmonitored admin roles and unlabelled sensitive data build up quietly until an incident forces the audit. Point tools bought in isolation leave exactly the seams attackers look for.
What we would do
Start by finding out what your existing Microsoft licence already covers and whether it is switched on. In most estates we assess, the largest security gain available is configuring what is already paid for, not buying anything new.
- If you are working toward Cyber Essentials or answering a customer security questionnaire, do the certification-shaped work first: it forces the same controls and produces evidence you can show.
- If you have a regulatory obligation or a genuine threat profile, managed detection and response is worth buying on top, and we will say so specifically rather than as an upsell.
When we are not the answer: If you want a security product bought and installed without anyone changing how the business works, we are the wrong provider. Most of the risk we find is in configuration, process and joiners-and-leavers, and no product closes that on its own.

What the last 12 months looked like
Certified Cyber Essentials
How a client closed its security gaps and achieved Cyber Essentials certification, meeting the assurance its contracts and supply chain demanded.
Read what we actually didA UK client. Our case studies are anonymised at our clients’ request, so they name no client and no sector.
What it costs
Scoped and quoted against your estate rather than sold from a rate card. We price what you already run, including the parts that are working and do not need replacing, and the quote itemises what is included so it can be compared line by line with anyone else’s. Managed IT support starts at £40 per user, per month if that is the wider question.
Three questions people ask
What's the difference between EDR and XDR?
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) watches and responds to threats on individual devices.
Can you help us get Cyber Essentials certified?
Yes. We assess you against all five Cyber Essentials control themes, close the gaps, and guide you through both Cyber Essentials and the independently audited Cyber Essentials Plus, which is increasingly required for public-sector and supply-chain contracts.
Do you provide 24/7 threat monitoring?
Yes, as an option for businesses that need it. With 24/7 cover, our threat management runs around the clock, with detection, triage and incident response, so a security event at 2am on a Sunday is caught and acted on, not discovered on Monday morning.
