We determine your security posture through a Microsoft Cloud Security Assessment combined with our SMB1001 GOLD-certified methodology and alignment to the Essential Eight maturity model.

This includes:

• Reviewing your Microsoft 365, Azure AD/Entra ID and cloud configurations
• Assessing device security through Microsoft Defender + Kaspersky telemetry
• Evaluating patching, identity management, MFA, and backup maturity
• Checking your alignment to Essential Eight maturity levels

You receive a clear risk score, a gap analysis, and a roadmap to improved maturity.

For SMBs operating in the Microsoft cloud ecosystem, the most common threats include:

• Phishing and credential theft targeting M365 accounts
• Ransomware delivered via malicious attachments or compromised endpoints
• Business email compromise (BEC)
• Unpatched vulnerabilities on devices or applications
• Privilege misuse or token theft in cloud environments

Using Microsoft Defender (for Office 365, Identity, and Endpoint) combined with Kaspersky’s malware detection, we create layered protection that blocks these threats before they impact operations.

We secure your data using Microsoft’s built-in cloud protections:

• Azure Information Protection / Purview for data classification
• Conditional Access + MFA to restrict access
• Encrypted OneDrive and SharePoint storage
• Zero Trust access controls
• Defender + Kaspersky endpoint hardening to protect data at the device level

Together, this provides complete data lifecycle protection—from creation to storage to sharing.

Yes—we map your environment against requirements such as:

• Essential Eight
• ISO 27001-aligned security practices
• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• Industry-specific obligations (financial, healthcare, professional services)

Microsoft Purview helps automate retention, auditing, and data handling policies, while Defender and Kaspersky help maintain compliance around endpoint and network security controls.

We provide a Microsoft-cloud–aligned incident response plan, including:

• Contain – Use Microsoft Defender to isolate compromised accounts/devices
• Eliminate – Use Kaspersky/Defender remediation tools to remove threats
• Recover – Restore from secure, immutable backups
• Investigate – Review logs via Defender XDR and Microsoft Unified Audit Log
• Improve – Apply Essential Eight-aligned hardening to prevent recurrence

Our SMB1001 GOLD incident response framework ensures fast recovery and minimal downtime.

We combine technical controls + training:

Technical:

• MFA enforced via Entra ID
• Conditional Access policies
• Application control (Essential Eight #5)
• Defender-backed safe links/safe attachments

Training:

• Regular phishing simulations
• Short, targeted user education sessions
• Clear acceptable-use policies

This reduces human error—still the #1 attack vector for SMBs.

Yes—Microsoft 365 and Azure provide enterprise-grade security at an SMB-friendly cost.

Security benefits of the cloud include:

• Zero Trust identity controls
• Automated updates and patching
• Built-in data encryption
• Defender AI-driven threat detection
• Geo-redundant backups

When combined with Kaspersky endpoint security and Essential Eight hardening, your cloud environment becomes significantly more secure than traditional on-premise systems.

We implement a multi-layered anti-ransomware strategy:

• Application control & patching (Essential Eight #2 & #5)
• Microsoft Defender EDR + Kaspersky behavioural detection
• Least privilege & admin account separation
• Immutable, off-site, encrypted backups
• Network segmentation where applicable

This ensures ransomware is blocked before execution—and even in worst-case scenarios, operations can be restored quickly.

We provide a right-sized, cost-effective solution stack based on Microsoft Cloud and additional hardening:

Core Microsoft Stack

• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
• Defender for Office 365
• Microsoft Entra ID (with Conditional Access + MFA)
• Microsoft Intune for device management
• Microsoft Sentinel (optional, for SIEM/SOAR)

Additional Hardening

• Kaspersky endpoint protection for extra layered defense
• Essential Eight controls to align with best practice
• Secure backup solution (immutable + cloud-based)

This stack provides enterprise-grade security without unnecessary complexity.

As a benchmark, SMBs typically invest:

3–7% of IT budget directly into security

Higher for businesses with regulatory requirements or high-value data

The ROI is measurable through:

• Reduced downtime
• Lower risk of data breaches
• Enhanced compliance and insurance alignment
• Productivity gains through secure automation

Our SMB1001 GOLD framework ensures investment is proportional, practical, and aligned with your industry’s risk profile.
