Money leaves a smaller firm through unglamorous doors: the computer beside the till, the address that pays invoices, a laptop with the client list still on it. Security around all three is sold here as a subscription, so the licences, the consoles and whoever is awake when it happens sit on our side of the counter.
What closes a small firm is quiet and takes a while to spot. Four openings come up again and again in shops, surgeries, studios and back offices.
One computer sits by the counter running the payment software, the booking diary and somebody's personal webmail, often inside the same hour. It is the most valuable thing you own and the least likely to have been examined since the day it was plugged in.
Supplier invoices, wage queries and the bank all land in one mailbox. Get inside it and nothing further needs breaking. Money can simply be requested, in a voice everybody already trusts, on a thread that is entirely genuine.
A spreadsheet came out of the booking system for a mailshot two summers ago. It sits in a downloads folder on a laptop that has since visited two trade shows and a repair counter. Nobody has given it a thought since the mailshot went out.
Small firms run on a single capable individual who set the whole thing up and carries it in their head. That works beautifully until the fortnight they are away, or the morning they resign, and nobody can open the system that raises invoices.
Take whichever positions fit and skip the rest. Every circuit carries its own unit rate, charged each month, and they all arrive on a single invoice. Each write up names the job, prints the rate, and marks where usefulness runs out.
Software on each machine weighing up conduct, a layer threading the records into one account, and an operator who acts on it rather than posting you a graph on Monday.
Only cleared software runs where anything worth having is kept. Whatever nobody approved gets no vote about starting.
Ironscales protects at the level of the mailbox, over API. It is not a gateway. It sits inside the Microsoft or Google tenant you pay for already.
Machines kept current, browsing filtered, Macs looked after as Apple intends, and the handsets your staff approve payments from watched by something.
Find the sensitive files first, because a folder nobody has located carries no protection whatever, then govern the exits those files are allowed to take.
Captures held away from the systems that produced them, and recoveries genuinely rehearsed on a timetable instead of assumed to work on the day it counts.
Plenty of firms in this trade quietly let you assume they built the lot themselves. We did not. Beneath CyberSec Managed sit commercial platforms, chosen because they stand up to real traffic, licensed by Fortify 24x7, minded by people whose entire day is that. A named piece of kit plus a number that rings beats a sealed box.
Automatic response and detection on the machine, over every operating system we cover, and at the Kubernetes node.
Correlation and record keeping over several sources, so one alarm rings with the surrounding story attached.
Aimed at the machines where strange code would do most damage: allowlisting, ringfencing, control over elevation.
Protection at the level of the mailbox, over API, inside your tenant. It is no sort of gateway, and dressing it up as one to win a sale is not our habit.
Watching, patch rounds, scripting, remote work, name filtering. One agent carries the lot.
Apple device management, for a Mac fleet that has outgrown being handled by whoever is nearest to it.
Mobile threat defence that lives on the handset, whichever iOS or Android hardware your staff happen to be carrying.
Sensitive file discovery, exposure scoring, and encryption applied at the exits data genuinely uses.
Whole disk and working document captures. Off workstations, off real servers, off hypervisor guests, off the Microsoft tenant.
Captures from a Google Workspace tenant, from the Entra ID arrangement, and from the ledger inside QuickBooks Online.
Half this market sells a product to a buyer who then has to operate it. That is not what is for sale here. Below is the work we pick up, and just as importantly the work we do not, set down before you buy instead of discovered afterwards.
Nobody convenes a steering group. Most firms of this size are covered and settled inside a fortnight, and tuning takes longer than installing ever does.
Half an hour on a call. How many computers, how many of those are Macs, how many mailboxes, what drives the till, and what would sting most to lose. You leave holding a circuit list plus a monthly figure. No deck exists.
Pick the circuits here and check out. Stripe deals with the card, which never passes through us. Billing runs month by month, ahead of the month, under FORTIFY 24X7.
Installers land in the portal, so do enrolment links, and so do the authorisations any covered cloud account needs. Windows, Mac and handset each follow a path of their own, and no console is ever put in front of you.
First searches and first captures do the heavy lifting, because each one reads your whole scope through once. Leave machines awake and on mains until they finish. Afterwards, only what changed goes across.
Alarms route to our board rather than your inbox. The portal carries your circuits, your installers and every call you have raised, and a person answers at the far end.
Security pages promise complete protection as a matter of routine. This one skips that, since nobody has ever actually sold such a thing. What follows is the boundary a subscription reaches.
As this page opens, rates come down the line from billing, which is why a card and a bank statement agree on the number. Patch in what suits, correct counts inside the panel, then pay when the list looks right.
