• Managed Firewall Monitoring — Network-level threat blocking, quarterly rule reviews, and firmware updates.
• 24/7 RMM Alerting — Continuous device health monitoring with automated alerts for failures and patch status.
• Email Security — Inbound/outbound spam filtering and encrypted email.
• Enforced MFA — Multi-factor authentication via Microsoft Entra ID conditional access.

Tier 2 – Advanced Threat Protection

★ Recommended

Best for: Healthcare-adjacent organizations and nonprofits handling PHI, housing, or financial data.

Everything in Tier 1, plus:

• XDR Upgrade — Extends Tier 1's EDR with cross-layer detection that correlates threats across endpoints, email, and identity for faster, deeper investigation.
• Security Awareness Training — Phishing simulation campaigns and staff security training to reduce human-layer risk.
• DMARC Policy Enforcement — Progression from monitoring to quarantine to reject, so spoofed emails from your domain never reach inboxes.
• Full-Disk Encryption — BitLocker on all workstation and server drives, protecting sensitive data if a device is lost or stolen.
• Incident Response Plan Updates — Kept current with your team, technology stack, and new threat playbooks.
• Annual Security Risk Assessment — Formal HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis documenting threats, vulnerabilities, and controls — supports compliance and grant reporting.

Tier 3 – Managed Detection & Response

Premium Option

Best for: Organizations requiring 24/7 SOC coverage, HIPAA-level audit trails, or with prior security incidents on record.

Everything in Tier 2, plus:

• 24/7 SOC Human Analyst Monitoring — Security analysts review alerts around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays — critical for containing ransomware before it spreads.
• Proactive Threat Hunting — Analysts actively search for indicators of compromise that automated tools miss, including attackers already inside who haven't triggered alerts.
• SIEM / Log Correlation — Logs from endpoints, firewall, email, and identity aggregated into a single searchable timeline for rapid forensic investigation.
• Dark Web Monitoring — Early warning when your credentials, email addresses, or data appear on the dark web or in breach databases.
• Active Incident Containment — The MDR SOC can isolate infected endpoints and block malicious processes immediately, without waiting for business hours.
