Our services
Secure your data. Secure your business.
Consulting and implementation across the areas where small and midsize businesses face the most risk, from daily defense to authorized attack simulation.
Defend
Protect your devices, email, identities, network, and data every day.
Microsoft 365 and cloud security
Harden Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online, strengthen anti-phishing and malware filtering, and review cloud configurations for risky gaps.
Identity and access security
Set up multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access, clean up stale and orphaned accounts, and tighten who can reach what.
Firewall and network security
Review firewall rules, tune intrusion prevention, separate staff, guest, and server networks, and secure remote access with VPN and Zero Trust principles.
SIEM, detection engineering, and automation
Connect your log sources, write and tune detections, and automate routine triage so real threats stand out from the noise.
Data protection, classification, and DLP
Label sensitive information, apply encryption where it belongs, and set data loss prevention policies that protect data without blocking work.
Test and prepare
Find weaknesses before attackers do, and get ready for audits and incidents.
Penetration testing and security assessments
Authorized testing of web applications, APIs, external networks, and internal Active Directory environments, followed by a report for leadership and a prioritized fix list for your engineers.
Vulnerability assessment and remediation planning
Find and prioritize vulnerabilities by severity, age, and exploitability, then hand your IT team a clear, grouped plan to fix them.
Incident response readiness and ISO 27001 preparation
Build response plans and playbooks, map controls to evidence, and prepare documentation for an ISO 27001 audit.
Build and operate
Run secure infrastructure and systems that your business depends on.
Windows Server and Active Directory
Central sign-in, department-based file access, Group Policy, and least-privilege admin rights, with repeatable onboarding and offboarding.
Cloud and server operations
Secure Azure, AWS, and Linux server setup, identity and access for cloud tenants, patching, and HTTPS and certificates handled end to end.
Secure web and business applications
Websites, client portals, dashboards, and internal business systems built with secure sign-in, roles, and permissions from the start.
Automation and integrations
Connect systems that don't talk to each other, automate user provisioning and routine admin tasks, and schedule jobs with logging and alerts.
IT support and managed IT
Day-to-day help for small and midsize businesses: devices, accounts, permissions, new-hire setup, and business software, remotely or on-site.
Our approach
Defense in depth, layer by layer.
No single tool stops every attack. We strengthen each layer of your environment so that if one control fails, the next one holds.
- L1
Identity
MFA, Conditional Access, and least-privilege accounts.
- L2
Endpoint
EDR, device policies, and patching on every computer.
- L3
Email and cloud
Microsoft 365 hardening and phishing protection.
- L4
Network
Firewall rules, segmentation, and secure remote access.
- L5
Data
Classification, encryption, and loss prevention.
Eagle Watch
Eyes on every threat, near or far.
Attacks reach small businesses from every corner of the internet. We set up the monitoring, alerting, and response playbooks that spot suspicious activity early and stop it before it becomes an incident.

EDR and SIEM alerts tuned to your environment.

Triage that separates real threats from noise.

Illustration only. The globe shows how threats from many locations converge on one business; it is not live data.
Network security
Your network, mapped in 3D.
We map how traffic moves through your business, then harden every point it passes. Good traffic flows to your people; malicious traffic stops at the edge.
Trusted traffic
Malicious traffic, blocked at the firewall
