Managed detection and response for the U.S. and Canada

Managed security for growing businesses without replacing your IT.

Someone should be watching your business at 3 a.m. We make sure someone is.

CySecWall is a cybersecurity-first managed service provider for small and mid-sized businesses across the United States and Canada. Your devices are monitored and defended around the clock through our 24/7 security operations partner, and we handle the security assessments, policies and reporting your insurer and auditors ask for.

No long discovery project. The review is a call plus a read-only assessment, and you keep the findings whether or not you hire us.

    Who this is for

    You have 40 employees. Whoever is attacking you has automation.

    Most businesses your size are not targeted by name. They are found by a scanner, phished with a template, and hit on a long weekend. The defense does not need to be exotic, but it does need to be running, monitored, and provable. That is usually the part that falls off the plate of a busy office manager or a two-person IT team.

    • Nobody owns security

      Your IT person keeps the business running. Security is the thing that gets pushed to next quarter, every quarter.

    • Tools are bought, not watched

      Licenses for antivirus, backup, and email filtering exist. Nobody reads the alerts they generate at 2 a.m. on a Saturday.

    • The questions are getting harder

      Insurers, enterprise clients, and lenders now ask for MFA coverage, tested restores, and an incident response plan in writing.

    • A bad week costs real money

      Downtime, forensics, legal notification, and lost trust land on the owner. Prevention is the cheapest line item in that story.

    What we do

    Watched around the clock, hardened, and proven.

    Everything below is included in a managed agreement. 24/7 endpoint monitoring and response is delivered by our security operations partner, a specialist managed detection and response (MDR) team; assessments, policies and reporting come directly from CySecWall. Pick the whole program or the parts your current IT team does not cover.

    Watch and respond

    Around the clock on every device, with a human who can act, not just email you a ticket.

    • 24/7 managed detection and response

      Our 24/7 security operations partner monitors your endpoints and servers continuously, investigates every detection, and removes threats rather than just alerting you to them.

    • Enterprise-grade endpoint protection

      Deployed on every laptop, desktop and server (Windows, macOS and Linux) and kept healthy as people and devices come and go.

    • Cloud and identity monitoring

      Security alerts from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for risky sign-ins, new forwarding rules, app consent grants and admin changes, configured and routed straight to us so a person reviews each one.

    • Incident response

      Our 24/7 partner contains threats on your devices as they happen. We then run the response plan we wrote with you and coordinate with your insurer and legal counsel.

    Harden and prevent

    The unglamorous work that removes most of the risk before an alert ever fires.

    • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace hardening

      Baselines for identity, mail flow, sharing, and admin roles, rechecked monthly so configuration drift does not undo the work.

    • Identity, MFA, and access

      Phishing-resistant MFA rollout, conditional access (sign-in rules based on user, device, and location), removal of standing admin rights, and clean-up of accounts nobody has used in a year.

    • Email and phishing defense

      An enterprise-grade email security gateway checks every message before it reaches an inbox: spam and malware filtering, impersonation protection, and scanning of links and attachments. We also set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the standards that stop others sending mail as your domain) to actually reject rather than politely observe.

    • Patch management

      Scheduled patch windows for operating systems, browsers, and the third-party applications that usually get missed, with anything still outstanding called out in your monthly report.

    • Cloud backup and tested recovery

      Microsoft 365 (email, OneDrive and SharePoint) and Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive and shared drives) backed up automatically, with restores tested on a schedule instead of during an outage.

    • Security awareness training

      Short monthly lessons and phishing simulations, with reporting that shows who is improving and who needs a hand.

    Prove and plan

    Turning the work into something you can hand to an insurer, a client, or your board.

    • Virtual CISO

      Quarterly planning, budget guidance, vendor review, and a risk register written in language your leadership team will read.

    • Security policies

      Acceptable use, access control, incident response, backup and vendor policies written for your business and kept current: the documents insurers and clients ask to see.

    • Compliance readiness

      Controls and evidence mapped to CIS, NIST CSF, SOC 2, HIPAA or PCI DSS, so audits stop being a fire drill.

    • Cyber insurance support

      We complete the technical sections of your renewal questionnaire and close the gaps that drive premiums or void coverage.

    • Monthly reporting

      One page you can actually use: what we saw, what we did, what changed, and what needs a decision from you.

    How an engagement runs

    Four stages, starting with a fixed price and no surprises.

    1. Stage 1

      Security review

      A 30-minute call, then a read-only assessment of identity, endpoints, email, and backups. You get a findings report, a prioritized list, and a fixed monthly price.

      Week 1

    2. Stage 2

      Stabilize

      We close the gaps that matter first: multi-factor authentication (MFA) everywhere, admin rights trimmed, endpoint detection and response (EDR) on every device, backups running and restoring.

      Weeks 2 to 6

    3. Stage 3

      Operate

      Our security operations partner monitors and responds 24/7. We handle patching, training and your monthly report, and your team has one number to call when something looks wrong.

      Ongoing

    4. Stage 4

      Improve

      A quarterly working session on risk, roadmap, and budget, plus a tabletop exercise once a year so the plan is not theoretical.

      Every quarter

    Outcomes

    What you have once the program is running.

    Security that is operated every day, documented as it happens, and explained in plain language.

    • Every alert has an owner

      Threats on your laptops and servers are investigated and remediated around the clock by our 24/7 security operations partner, not left in an inbox until Monday.

    • Renewals answered with evidence

      MFA coverage, tested restores, and a written incident response plan you can show an underwriter, not just tick a box for.

    • Recovery you have rehearsed

      Backups restored on a schedule and a tabletop exercise each year, so the plan works before you need it.

    • A report leadership will read

      One page each month: what we saw, what we did, what changed, and what needs a decision from you.

    Insurance and audits

    Answer your renewal questionnaire honestly.

    Cyber insurers and enterprise clients now ask for specifics, and a wrong answer can cost you a claim. These are the controls they ask about most. We implement them, keep them running, and give you the documentation that shows it.

    Check your gaps in 30 minutes

    Controls insurers ask about10 items

    • MFA on email, VPN, and remote access
    • EDR deployed on every endpoint and server
    • Offline or immutable backups with tested restores
    • Separate accounts for administrative work
    • Documented patching timelines for critical fixes
    • Security awareness training with records
    • Email filtering and impersonation controls
    • A written and rehearsed incident response plan
    • An inventory of devices, users, and vendors
    • Logging retained long enough to investigate

    We map controls and evidence to

    • CIS Controls v8.1
    • NIST CSF 2.0
    • SOC 2 readiness
    • HIPAA Security Rule
    • PCI DSS 4.0
    • PIPEDA

    Our approach

    Why CySecWall

    • Security is the whole job

      We are not a help desk that added a security package. Every engagement is built around detection, response, and evidence.

    • 24/7 coverage, every day of the year

      Endpoint monitoring, threat hunting and remediation by a specialist managed detection and response (MDR) team, day and night. You get the coverage without building a security operations center.

    • We work with your IT

      Co-managed by default. Your internal team or existing MSP keeps the business running while we cover the security layer.

    • Founder-led advice

      Your assessment, security policies and monthly report are prepared by CySecWall’s founder, in language an owner can read.

    Questions we get

    Before you book the call.

    Have a question that is not answered here? Ask us directly.

    hello@cysecwall.com
    Do we have to fire our current IT provider?
    No. CySecWall is built to work alongside an internal team or MSP: they keep day-to-day support, and we cover the security layer. We document the split so nothing falls between us, and we are happy to run a joint monthly call.
    How quickly do you respond to something serious?
    Threats on your devices are handled around the clock by our 24/7 security operations partner, which investigates every detection. Containment actions, such as isolating a device from the network or removing a threat, are pre-authorized when you sign up, so they act immediately instead of waiting for someone to wake up and approve them. We follow up with you on anything significant and record it in your monthly report.
    What size of business do you work with?
    Typically 20 to 500 employees, across the United States and Canada. Below about 15 users a managed program rarely makes financial sense, and we will tell you that on the first call.
    Do you support Macs and remote staff?
    Yes. Windows and macOS are covered equally, and everything we deploy works for people who never touch an office network. Mobile device management is available as an add-on.
    What actually happens if we get breached?
    Our 24/7 security operations partner contains the threat on your devices first. We then run the incident response plan we wrote with you: scope, evidence, recovery and a written report, coordinated with your insurer’s panel and legal counsel. Clients on a managed agreement are not billed an emergency rate.
    How long is the agreement?
    Twelve months to start, because the first two months are mostly our work. After that it continues month to month with 30 days' notice. Your data and configuration are yours, and we document the handover if you leave.
    What does the security review cost?
    Nothing, and there is no obligation. It is a 30-minute conversation followed by a read-only assessment of identity, endpoints, email, and backups. You keep the findings report either way.
