    What's Included

    Every tool and process your business needs — no add-ons, no upsells.

    Remote Monitoring & Management

    24/7 proactive monitoring of all endpoints, servers, and network devices — issues detected and addressed before they become outages.

    Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

    AI-powered threat detection on every device. Malicious behavior is identified and stopped in real time, not after the damage is done.

    Zero-Trust Application Control

    Only approved applications can run on your systems. This single control eliminates the majority of ransomware and malware attack vectors.

    24/7 Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

    Human security analysts monitoring your environment around the clock — not just software alerts. Every potential threat is reviewed by a person.

    Business Password Management

    A centralized password vault for every user. Shared credentials are stored and rotated securely, never in spreadsheets or sticky notes, and offboarded users lose access the moment they leave.

    Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-On

    MFA enforced on every user, every critical application, every login. Single Sign-On reduces password fatigue and the security exposure that comes with it.

    Dark Web Monitoring

    Continuous monitoring for your domain, your email addresses, and your employee credentials across known dark-web marketplaces and breach dumps. When your data surfaces, you find out in hours, not months.

    Phishing Simulation and Security Awareness Training

    Ongoing phishing tests tailored to your industry, paired with short video training modules. Employees who click get immediate coaching, not public shaming, and you get the reporting trail cyber insurers and regulators expect.

    Endpoint Encryption

    Full-disk encryption enforced on every workstation and laptop. A lost or stolen device means a lost piece of hardware, not a reportable data breach.

    DNS-Based Web Content Filtering

    Malicious websites, phishing domains, and high-risk categories are blocked at the DNS layer — on and off your network. Users stay productive, threats stay out, and you don't need to babysit a firewall rule set.

    Network Monitoring

    Your firewalls, switches, and wireless access points monitored around the clock. When a critical piece of network infrastructure misbehaves, we know before your users do.

    Cloud Backup & Business Continuity

    Automated daily backups with full system imaging. In a failure or ransomware event, we restore your environment — not just your files.

    Email Backup & Archiving

    Every email, preserved. Cloud-based archiving protects your communications and supports compliance and legal hold requirements.

    IT Documentation

    Your entire IT environment documented, organized, and kept current — so nothing is in someone's head and nothing is lost when something changes.

    Help Desk Support

    Live support with under 1-hour response for critical issues. You talk to someone who knows your environment, not a random technician reading from a script.

    Automated Patch Management

    Operating system and third-party software patches deployed automatically on a tested schedule — keeping your systems current without disrupting your workday.

    Annual Technology Business Review

    Strategic technology planning built into your service. Every year we sit down with your leadership team to review your environment, your roadmap, and your budget, then document what's changing in the next 12 months. If you need a faster strategic cadence, that's what Guardian Compliance is built for.

    Vendor Management

    We own the relationship with your technology vendors so you don't have to manage contracts, renewals, or support escalations.

    Cyber Insurance Alignment

    Your security posture documented and audit-ready — so your cyber insurance application is accurate and your coverage is valid when you need it.

    Why We Set the Bar Here

    Guardian Fundamentals is not the minimum — it's the responsible baseline. Cheaper options exist, but they leave gaps that cost far more when something goes wrong. A single ransomware attack can cost a small business $200,000+ in downtime, data loss, and recovery. We built this plan to make sure that never happens.
