What we defend, monitor, and recover
Most organizations don’t need a single tool — they need a partner who watches the network at 3 a.m., answers the phone when something breaks, and helps prove to auditors and insurers that the controls are real. We run all of it in-house, as one accountable team.
Managed Security (MSSP) & 24/7 Monitoring
Continuous coverage of your endpoints, network and cloud — alert triage, tuning and reporting handled by our team so yours doesn’t have to staff a night shift.
Managed security →Incident Response & Breach Recovery
When something is wrong right now, we contain it, evict the attacker, restore operations and document what happened — remotely, wherever your systems live.
Incident response →Penetration Testing & Red Team
We attack your environment the way a real adversary would — external, internal, web app and social engineering — and hand you a prioritized, fixable report.
Pen testing →Threat Mitigation & SOC
A security operations center that detects, investigates and shuts down threats — hardening your defenses against phishing, malware and lateral movement.
SOC services →Vulnerability Management
Ongoing scanning, prioritization and remediation guidance so the holes that matter get closed first — not lost in a thousand-line scanner report.
Vulnerability mgmt →Ransomware Recovery
Containment, eradication and recovery when ransomware hits — restoring systems, preserving evidence and getting you back to business with lessons learned.
Ransomware recovery →Security Awareness Training
Phishing simulations and practical training that turn your staff from the softest target into the first line of defense — measured, not just checked off.
Awareness training →Cloud & Endpoint Security
Hardening and monitoring for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS and Azure, plus endpoint detection and response across every laptop and server.
Cloud & endpoint →Compliance Support
Practical help meeting SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC and NIST expectations — control gap assessments, evidence and readiness so audits stop being a fire drill.

Great security isn’t bound by a zip code
Cyber defense is delivered where the systems are — and today the systems are in the cloud, on remote laptops, and behind the same login screens no matter which state your office sits in. That’s why we deploy our monitoring, response and testing remotely across all 50 states, with the same standards for a firm in Phoenix as for one in Boston or Seattle.
Where geography does matter is the law after a breach. Every state has its own data-breach notification statute, and they genuinely differ — on how fast you must notify affected residents, when you have to alert the state Attorney General, and what counts as protected data. Arizona requires notification within 45 days of determining a breach occurred; Texas sets the clock at 60 days; other states specify “without unreasonable delay” or trigger AG notification only above a resident-count threshold. Get the timeline or the recipient wrong and a manageable incident becomes a regulatory one.
When we run an incident, we don’t just clean the network and leave. We help you understand which states’ rules apply based on where your affected customers and employees live, track the deadlines that matter, and produce the documented timeline that regulators, insurers and counsel will ask for. National reach on the defense; state-aware discipline on the aftermath.
Cyber security FAQ
What organizations ask us first
Do you work with companies outside Arizona?
Yes — cyber security is our nationwide line. We defend organizations in all 50 states, delivered remotely. Because monitoring, response and testing happen where your systems and data live rather than at a physical address, there’s no geographic limit on the work.
What’s your incident response time?
Our SOC operates 24/7, and active incidents are triaged immediately on engagement. For monitoring clients we’re already inside your environment, so containment begins fast; for a first-time emergency we move to scope and contain the same day. The priority is always the same — stop the bleeding first, investigate second.
How do you handle breach-notification requirements across states?
Data-breach notification laws are set state by state and differ on deadlines and Attorney General thresholds — Arizona requires notice within 45 days, Texas within 60, and others vary. During an incident we help you determine which states’ rules apply based on where your affected individuals reside, track those deadlines, and produce the documented timeline regulators and insurers expect. We support your compliance — your legal counsel makes the final notification decisions.
Do you offer ongoing monitoring or one-time work?
Both. Many clients start with a one-time assessment, penetration test or incident cleanup, then move to a managed retainer with 24/7 monitoring once they see the value of continuous coverage. We’ll recommend what actually fits your risk and budget — not the biggest contract we can write.
Onboarding
What the first weeks of a managed engagement look like
Monitoring is only useful once it reflects how your environment actually works. Onboarding is where noise gets filtered out and escalation paths get agreed, before an alert ever matters.
- Discovery. We inventory users, devices, cloud tenants, key applications and existing security tools, and note where sensitive data lives.
- Deployment. Monitoring agents and log sources are connected, starting with the systems that would hurt most if compromised: email, identity, servers and remote access.
- Baseline and tuning. Normal activity is learned and rules are tuned so that routine behavior, such as a scheduled backup or an admin script, does not bury real warnings.
- Runbooks and authority. We agree in writing on who is called for which alerts, at what hours, and which containment steps we may take without waiting, such as isolating a laptop or disabling an account.
- First report. You receive an initial posture summary with the highest-priority gaps found during onboarding, so improvement starts immediately.
Shared responsibility
Who does what once coverage is live
A managed service does not remove every security task from your plate. Clear lines prevent the gaps that appear when each side assumes the other is handling something.
| Area | Typically handled by us | Typically kept by you |
|---|---|---|
| Alerts | Monitoring, triage, investigation and initial containment | Business decisions such as shutting down a production system |
| Accounts | Detecting risky sign-ins and suspending compromised accounts | Approving who gets access and removing departing staff promptly |
| Patching | Identifying and prioritizing missing updates | Scheduling downtime, unless patching is added to the scope |
| Policies | Drafting and advising on security policies | Approving policies and enforcing them with staff |
| Breach decisions | Evidence, timelines and technical findings | Notification and legal decisions, made with counsel |
If you would rather hand off day-to-day IT as well, managed IT services can be combined with monitoring so patching and administration sit with the same team.
Choosing a provider
Questions to ask any MSSP before you sign
Many services look similar on paper. These questions tend to reveal the differences that matter during a real incident.
- Who actually looks at an alert overnight, and what are they permitted to do without calling you first?
- How long are logs retained, and can you get them for a forensic investigation or an insurer?
- Is incident response included, billed separately, or referred to another firm?
- Who owns the configurations, logs and documentation if the contract ends, and how are they handed back?
- What does the regular report contain, and will a non-technical executive understand it?
Our guide to managed security services goes deeper on scope and pricing models, and our comparison of incident response retainers versus on-demand help covers the response side.
More questions
Practical questions before switching to managed security
Do we have to replace our current IT provider?
No. Many clients keep their IT provider for daily support and add us for monitoring, testing and response. We coordinate so each side knows its role.
Can you work with the security tools we already pay for?
Often, yes. We review existing tools during discovery and recommend keeping, reconfiguring or replacing them based on coverage, not preference.
Can managed security help with cyber insurance applications?
Insurers commonly ask about multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection, backups and training. Managed coverage can help you answer accurately and produce supporting evidence. Coverage decisions remain with the insurer.
Where should a small business start if the budget is tight?
Start with the controls that stop the most common attacks: multi-factor authentication, tested backups and email security. The free cyber risk check is a quick way to see where you stand, or call 602-725-2818 to talk it through.
