Managed Business Cybersecurity for SMBs
Most mid-sized companies already have security tools. What they lack is continuous security operations: fewer false alarms, faster investigation, and action before a real incident becomes downtime.
Decypher delivers managed cybersecurity services for organizations with 50–200 employees. Many engagements begin with a cybersecurity risk assessment, but we can also onboard into an existing environment and strengthen what’s already in place, so governance, day-to-day operations, and audit-ready evidence work together.
- Prioritized Risk Roadmap
- 24/7 Monitoring & Response
- Quarterly Vulnerability Testing
Trusted by organizations that need dependable IT support, stronger cybersecurity, and a technology partner that can scale with them.

- Executive protection firms
Questions Worth Asking Before the Next Incident
- When was the last time your team ran a tabletop exercise?
- When was the last time you had a penetration test that showed whether your defenses would hold up against a real attack?
- And how would you know if someone is already inside your environment, collecting sensitive data or positioning themselves to take it later?
For many businesses, the biggest loss is not a ransom payment. It is client data, financial information, internal records, or intellectual property leaving the business without anyone realizing it fast enough to stop it.
That is why Decypher’s program is built to do more than respond to obvious incidents. It is designed to improve visibility, reduce common attack paths, validate readiness, and help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, oversharing, and exfiltration.
Establish a Baseline
Most security issues are ordinary gaps that sit unnoticed until they’re exploited: overly broad access, old or unused admin accounts, exposed credentials, misconfigured remote access, and untracked changes.
If we manage your cybersecurity, we revisit that roadmap through regular risk reviews, so your protection keeps pace as your environment changes.
What You Get With a Baseline Review
- A review of your environment (remote or on-site based on complexity and risk)
- Identification of critical exposures and likely attack paths
- A prioritized report that shows what to fix first, and why
- A roadmap for deeper hardening over time
Governance
Cybersecurity is a business risk discipline. We help leadership set ownership, define risk tolerance, and establish the plans, policies, and reporting cadence that drive consistent security operations.
Security Leadership and Accountability
- Clear ownership and decision rights (including exceptions and vendor access)
- Policy baselines that match day-to-day operations
- A repeatable process for access, changes, and incident decisions
Program Planning and Incident Readiness
- Cybersecurity program plan with priorities, milestones, and accountability
- Incident response plan: roles, escalation paths, and decision points
- Business continuity and recovery readiness: recovery priorities aligned to business impact, with plans tested and maintained so restoration is predictable under pressure
- Tabletop exercises as needed to test decision-making and communication
Metrics, Reporting, and Ongoing Reviews
- Executive-ready reporting: top exposures, trends, and prioritized actions
- Regular governance cadence based on your change rate and risk
- Continuous improvement based on what we observe and validate
Business Security & Continuity
Prevention buys time. Detection and response reduce disruption. However, many of the most damaging incidents don’t announce themselves right away. They begin with unauthorized access, data theft, or long-term positioning inside the environment.
We run a managed program that improves visibility, reduces attack paths, supports rapid response, and helps protect the data your business cannot afford to lose.
What’s included in our managed cybersecurity program
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Catch threats around the clock and shut them down before they cause damage
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Stop malicious activity on laptops and desktops the moment it starts
Zero Trust
Block ransomware and unapproved software
before it can run
Identity Management and Adaptive MFA
Make sure only the right people reach sensitive systems, verified by more than a password
Password Management
Replace weak, reused passwords with secure ones your team doesn’t have to remember
Data Loss Prevention, delivered through Zero Trust
Keep sensitive data from being shared, moved, or stolen without your knowledge
Managed Risk, with recurring vulnerability assessments
Know where you’re exposed and fix the most dangerous gaps first
Penetration Testing (external, internal, and cloud)
See whether your defenses would hold up against a real attacker
SLA-backed Incident Response access
Get expert help fast when an incident hits, with a guaranteed response time
Core Coverage Areas
Tablet and mobile
Managed Threat Detection and Response
Catch threats around the clock and contain them before they can cause damage
MDR is continuous monitoring plus expert investigation and action, not just alerts. When something indicates a real threat, we move fast to contain it before it becomes downtime, fraud, data loss, or a longer-term foothold inside your environment.
What this helps prevent:
- Ransomware spread and extended outages
- Credential theft turning into internal access
- Unauthorized activity or data theft going unnoticed for days or weeks
Identity Management and Adaptive MFA
Make sure only the right people reach your systems, and prove who they are
Most real incidents start with identity: compromised credentials, weak sign-ins, or overly broad access. We reduce those attack paths with practical controls your team can sustain, securing employees, contractors, and partners while reducing complexity and risk.
This includes:
- Adaptive MFA that verifies the person signing in, using built-in device biometrics rather than a password alone
- Password management that replaces weak, reused credentials with strong, unique ones and centralizes access control
- Protection against business email compromise by detecting suspicious sign-ins and disrupting common impersonation patterns
- Governance and access policies that secure users, devices, and non-human identities before threats occur
Zero-Trust Architecture
Limit how far any single breach can spread
Zero trust is a practical architecture roadmap, not a product. It reduces implicit trust and limits blast radius by enforcing least privilege and tightening access to critical resources.
This typically includes:
- Identity-first access to high-value systems
- Segmentation and hardening of high-risk pathways
- Secure remote access for staff and third parties, without putting them on your network (ZTNA)
- Application control, including allowlisting and ringfencing
- Data and removable storage control, and inline web Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- Threat filtering of malicious sites, command-and-control traffic, and other high-risk destinations
- A phased roadmap
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Keep sensitive data from leaving the business without your knowledge
Sensitive data does not have to be encrypted by ransomware to create damage. It can be overshared, moved to unauthorized locations, or taken over time. Delivered through our Zero Trust controls, DLP helps identify and reduce unsafe sharing, transfer, or use of sensitive information across the business.
What this helps prevent:
- Unauthorized sharing of client, financial, or regulated data
- Sensitive files moving to unapproved apps, devices, or locations
- Proprietary information leaving the business without review or control
Managed Risk and Vulnerability Assessments
Find your weak spots before an attacker does
Recurring assessments to identify, prioritize, and track remediation of high-risk exposures, supporting both risk reduction and audit readiness.
Penetration testing
Prove whether your defenses would actually hold up
Test real attack paths with scoped penetration testing and an actionable remediation plan so you can prioritize fixes that matter. Testing covers external, internal, and cloud (AWS and Azure) environments.
Managed Security Awareness
Turn your employees from your biggest risk into your first line of defense
Threat actors target organizations through their employees, and traditional awareness training no longer holds up. Managed Security Awareness is a comprehensive program built on microlearning and developed by awareness experts. It prioritizes engagement to drive behavior change and build the security culture that reduces human risk.
Incident response access and the Security Operations Warranty
Get expert help fast when an incident hits, backed by real financial support
Clients get incident response access with an SLA-backed response commitment. Managed security operations also include the Security Operations Warranty, a no-cost customer benefit that provides up to $3 million (USD) in financial assistance for cybersecurity incidents.
For serious incidents requiring full-service response, Decypher can coordinate with insurance-approved incident response partners as needed.

Threat Filtering: What We Stop Before It Reaches You
Threat filtering reduces the chance a user or device ever connects to a malicious destination.
Examples Include:
- Phishing and credential-harvesting sites
- Malware, spyware, and known malicious domains
- Botnet and command-and-control traffic
- Cryptojacking attempts
- Newly registered or suspicious domains
- High-risk routing patterns (TOR exit nodes, open proxies)
- High-risk geographies (when geofencing is appropriate)

Executive Assistant, Oil & Gas Exploration and Development Firm
We recently discovered that we had been hacked after receiving an email from our bank, which was completely unsuspecting of a breach. The hackers were inquiring about making a wire transfer over over $100K, and the email appeared to have come from me to our head of banking...
Executive and Artistic Director, Film Nonprofit
As a small, non-profit organization this would have been a devastating error. In crisis mode, a colleague referred us to Decypher Technologies. The swift and expert response that we experienced, particularly from Farr, James and Ben was nothing short of phenomenal. Our technician Ben was able to quickly find out the extent of the breach and shut it down immediately. Aspen Film recovered from this breach thanks to Decypher’s expert team. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome and were blown away by how fast and efficient the process was.
Executive and Artistic Director, Film Nonprofit
Even before we had concierge services in place, you always said yes and I’ve learned a lot from how you think and communicate. You’ve helped us build a stable, proactive setup, and the difference from where we started is night and day...
Executive and Artistic Director, Film Nonprofit
Even before we had concierge services in place, you always said yes and I’ve learned a lot from how you think and communicate. You’ve helped us build a stable, proactive setup, and the difference from where we started is night and day. My boss is very happy, especially given how critical uptime is in his work. I also appreciate how you’ve visited every property and built strong partnerships with AV and security always focused on collaboration, not control. You’ve been a steady partner as we grow this family office.

FAQ
Do you replace our internal IT team?
Not if you’re happy with them. We run the cybersecurity program and can work alongside internal IT or an existing MSP.
What is MDR in plain language?
MDR is continuous monitoring plus expert investigation and action, not just alerts. When something indicates a real threat, we move fast to contain it and close the gap.
How would we know if sensitive data is already leaving the business?
What is DLP in plain language?
DLP stands for Data Loss Prevention. It helps reduce the chance that sensitive data is shared, transferred, or exposed in ways your business does not allow.
A common example is when someone tries to send a sensitive file through an unapproved method or move it outside the business without approval. DLP can help flag, limit, or block that action.
What kind of documentation can Decypher provide for audits or insurers?
How fast can we get started?
Most mid-sized organizations can complete a baseline review and initial deployment within the first month, then move into the quarterly operating rhythm.
