Security Essentials

Security EssentialsTM provides a logical, layered approach to achieve world-class protection against sophisticated threats including phishing, ransomware, and zero-day attacks:

  • Malware and Vulnerability Remediation: A fresh start. Our first step is to identify and eliminate existing malware and vulnerabilities (CVEs) from your system.
  • Forensic Investigation: After removing any malware and remediating existing vulnerabilities, we go beyond automated tools to identify attackers who have already compromised your system, performing a basic forensic investigation to look for common Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).
  • Fully Managed Detection and Response (F-MDR): A world-class cyber defense team protects your device against advanced threats including phishing, ransomware, and zero-day attacks. Active 24/7 defense by an award winning, ISO/IEC 27001 certified Security Operations Center (SOC).
  • Block Threats Using the Power of DNS: We use advanced DNS-based security to provide next-gen firewall-like features on your device. This feature blocks malicious URLs and attackers around the globe, and leverages 10+ tools under the hood including real-time threat intelligence feeds, Google Safe Browsing, AI-driven threat detection, cryptojacking protection, typosquatting protection, and more!
  • Vulnerability, Patch, and Update Management: We track new vulnerabilities, patches and software updates, and deploy daily to keep your systems fully protected and up-to-date.
  • eXtended Detection and Response (XDR): Detect and respond to attackers across your network. When you enroll multiple devices into our Essentials plan, our SOC gains the ability to analyze traffic between your devices, allowing us to detect Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) that would otherwise be invisible.
  • Professional Security Coaching: Throughout the onboarding and initial consultation process, we will continuously coach you to help you to adopt the best security practices and improve your security posture without any additional cost. We offer additional coaching to existing customers at a highly discounted price.
  • Consultation, Training, and Small Business Cybersecurity Toolkit to help you adopt best practices and mount a world-class defense against the most advanced threats.

True Business Grade Backups

  • Image-based, business-grade backup: Backs up the entire system and allows for full system (bare metal) restoration to the same or dissimilar hardware.
  • Flexibility to restore any part of the system: Restore the entire system, individual files/folders, application data, etc.
  • Verified backups: Backups are taken every two hours and every backup is checked to ensure functionality when needed.
  • Secure upload and storage: Backups should improve your security, not present a security risk themselves! Data in transit is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption. Storage data centers are compliant with Service Organization Control (SOC 1 / SSAE 16 and SOC 2).

Serving Small Businesses With Diverse Locations

Home Office

Home offices need to be carefully protected because the company shares resources with the home. The ‘business’ side of the network is usually connected to the ‘personal’ side, presenting a unique challenge that is often disregarded, leaving the business unprotected.

Brick and Mortar / Storefront

Brick and mortar businesses have special requirements when compared with office-based businesses. Since the business location is open to the public, anyone can walk in and attempt to connect to the network.

Single or Multi-Location Business

Guardian Angel specializes in supporting small and medium-sized businesses of all types. From office-based businesses with one or multiple locations, to brick-and-mortar establishments and other customer-facing locations, we’ve carefully designed our services to help.

How Can We Help?

Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity for All

Our primary goal is to help protect small businesses from cyber attacks including ransomware, business email compromise, phishing, and even zero-day attacks.

Our Security Essentials package combines award-winning, 24/7 threat detection and response using cutting-edge MDR – to protect your systems and data from the most advanced threats, along with the most reliable backup system in the business.

IT Support How and When You Need IT

Many small businesses forgo security because they can’t afford managed IT support. We’re trying to turn this model on its head.

Some businesses need fully managed IT. Others need a bit of support for daily operations. Many simply need a trusted partner to call on in a time of need.

Whatever your IT requirements are – we’ve got your back!

Wired and Wireless Network Design, Installation, and Maintenance

Wired and Wi-Fi networks are at the heart of business today. When properly designed and installed, the network should be highly performant and extremely secure while supporting the specific requirements of the business.

We take great care in balancing the needs of our customers; designing fast, secure, and budget-friendly solutions for every business.

Cutting-Edge Solutions

Thwart attackers with active techniques like penetration testing to harden our defenses and honeypots to trigger a cascade of defensive measures if they do get in.

Enterprise-Grade Security on Main Street

Traditional cybersecurity practices for small businesses and homes focus almost exclusively on passive defensive technologies.

In contrast, large enterprises are able to pay for advanced measures like active defensive techniques such as XDR and honeypots, as well as offensive security services like vulnerability assessments and penetration tests.

But these services are critical to defend against even moderately skilled attackers.

That’s why we want to turn this model on its’ head, offering advanced features to small businesses and homes that are typically reserved for the big players.
