Cybersecurity for Phoenix businesses.
From the SOC to the boardroom.
Whether you have an internal IT team, another MSP, or want it all from one place, we provide enterprise-grade cybersecurity sized for SMB and mid-market Phoenix businesses. 24/7 SOC monitoring, endpoint detection and response, email protection, patch management, risk assessment, and the incident response that actually shows up when something goes wrong.
Most MSPs treat security as a checkbox. We don’t.
Cybersecurity is a separate discipline, not a feature you bolt onto IT. Here is how our practice is set up differently from a generic MSP that “also does security.”
24/7 SOC, not a 9-to-5 dashboard
A real Security Operations Center watching alerts around the clock. Humans, not a script that emails you a ticket at 3am. The 2am alert is investigated, triaged, and acted on before you wake up.
Cyber insurance applications keep tightening
Carrier questionnaires now run 80–150 pages with technical specifics. We help you answer them honestly with documented controls actually in place. The difference between getting declined, getting rated up, and getting a clean renewal.
Compliance frameworks demand documented controls
HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, FFIEC, NIST CSF, SOC 2. They all expect documented controls, current risk assessments, and incident response plans. We build the artifacts your regulators and auditors actually want, not generic templates.
The threat does not take weekends off
Ransomware crews favor Friday night and holiday weekends because most IT teams are asleep. Our SOC and our phone line are not. Established clients get a 15-minute response window for critical incidents, any day, any hour.
The numbers that should keep you up at night.
Not theoretical. Not 2019. These are the 2026 realities driving every cybersecurity buying decision, and the carriers, regulators, and clients asking you what you’re doing about them.
Stats based on 2026 industry reports (IBM Cost of a Data Breach, FBI IC3, Verizon DBIR). Trends are real; specific numbers vary by source and segment.
Two ways to engage our cybersecurity.
Pick the model that fits how you run IT today. Whether you have an existing team, an existing MSP, or want everything from one place.
You have an internal IT lead, an MSP, or both. We layer enterprise-grade security on top. The SOC, the EDR, the email protection, the patch verification, the risk assessment, the incident response. Your IT team keeps running the IT. We run the security.
Cybersecurity is included with every Managed IT engagement. One team, one phone number, one accountability line. The 24/7 Security Operations Stack is built into every plan; risk assessments and incident response come with the relationship, not an extra invoice.
Three lead engagements
24/7 Security Operations Stack
The recurring layer that protects every device: email protection (Avanan), endpoint detection & response (SentinelOne), 24/7 SOC monitoring (Rapid7), patch management (Datto RMM), asset and change management (ITGlue). $55–$80 per device per month depending on commitment tier.
Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
A current-state review against the frameworks your industry expects (HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, NIST CSF, SOC 2, CIS Controls). Gap report, prioritized remediation list, ROI/risk estimates, scoped proposal. Yours to keep regardless of whether you engage us further. Scoped fee based on environment size.
Incident Response
Retainer or on-demand. When something happens. Suspected breach, ransomware, BEC attempt, lost device with PII. We isolate, investigate, coordinate with your insurer and counsel, restore from clean backup, and produce the incident report. Calmly. Documented. Defensible.
What’s protecting every managed device.
Most Phoenix MSPs sell this layer as a premium add-on. We make it the floor, $55/device at Plan 8, $65/device at Plan 6, $70/device at Plan 2, $80/device hourly. Included in Inventive Prime.
Email Protection
Filters phishing, spam, and malicious attachments before they reach the inbox. Reduces the #1 attack vector for SMBs.
Endpoint Protection
Next-generation antivirus and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) on every managed workstation, laptop, and server. Threats are caught at the endpoint and quarantined automatically.
24/7 SOC Monitoring
Security Operations Center watching alerts around the clock. The 2am alert is investigated by humans, not a script that emails you a ticket.
Patch Management
Operating system, third-party app, and firmware updates managed and verified across your fleet. Closes vulnerability windows automatically.
Asset Management
Inventory and lifecycle tracking for every device, license, and vendor in your environment. We know what you have, what it does, and when it needs replacing. Before you do.
Change Management
Documented process for every infrastructure change, who, what, when, why, and rollback plan. The audit trail your insurer and your regulators want, with the discipline that prevents outages.
Cyber posture at the executive level. Without the executive hire.
The Security Operations Stack runs the controls. A vCISO runs the strategy. What to defend, what to accept, what to report to the board, how to answer the cyber-insurance questionnaire honestly. Different discipline from vCIO. Different conversation.
- Quarterly cyber-posture review against NIST CSF + your applicable frameworks
- Board-ready cyber report (10-minute agenda slot, plain-English risk language)
- Vendor security assessments. Third-party risk reviews for your critical suppliers
- Cyber-insurance attestation defense. We sit in calls with underwriters and answer the technical questions
- Incident response on retainer. First call when something goes wrong, named escalation contact
- Annual tabletop exercise with leadership team (insurance and auditors expect this)
- Monthly cyber strategy meeting with your IT lead, COO, or General Counsel
vCISO complements vCIO. VCIO owns the technology roadmap; vCISO owns the cyber-risk posture. About 40% of our vCIO clients add vCISO when their cyber-insurance carrier or a key enterprise customer asks for documented security leadership. Month-to-month default, 1-year and 3-year terms available. Existing Cybersecurity service clients on Plan 6 or higher get the first quarter of vCISO at 50% off.
Cybersecurity shaped by your regulators.
Every industry has its own compliance frameworks, threat patterns, and audit expectations. Click yours to see the security playbook we use.
No contracts, no surprises, no offshore handoff
Three steps from “we should talk” to “we are watching your environment 24/7.”
Discovery + walkthrough
30-min call about your business, your existing IT setup, and your security situation today. Then a 30-min review of your environment, remote or on-site.
Risk assessment + gap report
Compliance-depth assessments take longer than a standard IT review, and that is the point. Within 1–2 weeks you receive a written gap report against the frameworks your industry expects (HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, NIST CSF, SOC 2, CIS) plus your cyber insurance questionnaire. Prioritized recommendations, ROI/risk estimates, scoped proposal. Yours to keep.
Onboard + go live
If we are a fit, we run a structured 30-day onboarding. SOC monitoring active, EDR deployed, email protection layered in, incident response retainer signed, named engineer assigned, client portal where your credentials are always yours.
What people ask before they call
What’s the difference between cybersecurity-only and full Managed IT?
Cybersecurity-only (the Co-Pilot model) covers the security layer. SOC, EDR, email protection, patch verification, risk assessment, incident response. Your existing IT team or MSP keeps doing the IT. Managed IT covers everything: help desk, monitoring, infrastructure, plus security included. Most clients want the bundled version because it removes the finger-pointing when something goes wrong.
Can you work alongside our existing MSP?
Yes, that’s the whole point of the Co-Pilot model. We coordinate with your MSP on what each side owns, document the handoffs, and run the security layer with our SOC and tools. Most MSPs are happy to have a specialist cover the 24/7 SOC piece they cannot staff economically themselves.
How much does a cybersecurity risk assessment cost?
Scoped on the assessment call based on your environment size and the compliance frameworks involved. Standard SMB engagements typically run a few thousand dollars; compliance-depth assessments for regulated industries (banks, healthcare, lenders) run higher because of the documentation requirements. You get a written gap report at the end either way. Yours to keep.
What about incident response. Retainer or on-demand?
Both. Clients on a managed plan get incident response included with the relationship. Standalone retainers are available for clients who want guaranteed response time and a documented IR plan but aren’t on a managed plan. On-demand engagements work too, but expect higher rates and slower response than a retained client.
Can you help us answer our cyber insurance application?
Yes. One of our most common engagements. We sit through the questionnaire with you, answer the technical sections from documented controls in place, identify gaps to remediate before submission, and produce a clean application your carrier signs off on. Most clients see meaningful premium or coverage improvement after working with us.
Who owns our passwords and IT documentation?
You do. We maintain a client portal where all your credentials, vendor info, and IT documentation are always available to you, so if you ever need to vet another vendor or move on, nothing is held hostage.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No, we do not require one. Assessment is free, onboarding is scoped, and ongoing services default to month-to-month. Cancel any time. For clients who want budget predictability or locked-in pricing, we also offer 1-year and 3-year agreements.
Before your next audit, your next cyber renewal, or the 3am incident response.
One hour with a Phoenix-based engineer who runs security for businesses in your industry every day. You leave with a written gap assessment and a prioritized fix list. Yours to keep.
