Managed Security Services Aligned to NIST

Our Managed Security Services are designed around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ensuring your business benefits from a structured, internationally proven approach to cyber resilience.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a globally recognised standard that helps organisations manage cyber risk through six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

This offers your business a comprehensive, governance-led, and continuously improving security approach that addresses threats at every stage of the security lifecycle.

Govern – Security is most effective when it is led from the top. We provide strategic guidance, policy development, and board-level reporting so that cyber decisions are embedded into leadership priorities, not just IT operations. This includes virtual CISO support, compliance oversight, and risk appetite alignment, ensuring your security strategy is integrated into overall business planning.

Identify – You can only protect what you can see. Our services include continuous risk assessments, automated asset discovery, vulnerability scanning, and compliance mapping. These create a living risk picture of your environment, helping you understand where your greatest exposures lie and how to prioritise resources effectively.

Protect – Prevention is better than cure. We apply layered safeguards such as multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection protection and response (EDPR) and XDR, a unified approach to threat detection, investigation, and response by integrating and correlating data from multiple security layers, such as endpoints, email, cloud workloads, networks, and identities.

Detect – Even the best defences can be bypassed, which is why rapid detection is critical. Our 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC), advanced SIEM, and real-time threat intelligence provide constant visibility across your environment. Using behavioural analytics and anomaly detection, we identify suspicious activity early, so action can be taken before damage occurs.

Respond – In the unfortunate event of a cybersecurity incident, having a well-defined response plan in place is crucial to minimize damage and recover swiftly Our response services include playbooks, rapid containment, digital forensics, and coordinated communication.

Recover – Resilience means being able to bounce back stronger. Our recovery services focus on restoring systems, validating data integrity, and ensuring business continuity. With disaster recovery testing, backup management, and post-incident reviews, we help you return to normal operations quickly and use lessons learned to improve your security posture over time.

The Importance Of Cyber Security Services

Organisations today face an unprecedented volume and variety of cyber threats—ransomware, phishing, insider threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, and more. Several key challenges make Managed Security Services essential:

Skill Shortages & Alert Fatigue: Most internal IT teams are overwhelmed by the volume of security alerts and lack deep expertise in threat hunting, incident response, or compliance.
24/7 Threat Landscape: Attacks can happen at any time, requiring always-on monitoring and immediate response capabilities.
Expanding Attack Surfaces: Remote work, IoT, cloud adoption, and mobile access all increase the number of entry points for attackers.
High Cost of Breaches: Financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties from breaches can be devastating.
Ever-Changing Regulations: Staying compliant with regional and global security laws is complex and requires expert oversight.

Managed Security Services provide an efficient, cost-effective solution by extending enterprise-grade protection to organizations of all sizes, without the need to build and maintain an in-house security operations center (SOC).

Current Trends in Managed Cyber Security

XDR (Extended Detection and Response): Consolidates multiple security tools into a unified platform for broader visibility and faster response.
Zero Trust Security Models: Identity-first security is gaining adoption, where trust is never assumed, and access is always verified.
Security Automation & Orchestration (SOAR): Automates repetitive tasks and orchestrates complex response workflows, reducing response time and human error.
AI & Machine Learning in Threat Detection: Advanced analytics detect subtle patterns and emerging threats that signature-based systems may miss.
Cloud-Native Security Tools: Focused security controls for SaaS, IaaS, and containerized workloads are becoming core to MSS offerings.
Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS): Managed security providers now include continuous compliance services that generate real-time dashboards and audit-ready reports.

Service Offerings

Threat Monitoring & Rapid Response

Threat Monitoring & Rapid Response is a real-time, 24/7 service that detects and responds to malicious activity across your IT environment. Using a combination of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), intrusion detection systems (IDS), and behavioral analytics, MSS teams identify anomalies and execute incident response protocols quickly. This helps contain threats before they can escalate, reducing potential damage and downtime.

Key benefits:

Continuous log analysis and threat intelligence integration
Real-time alerts with actionable insights
Rapid containment and remediation support
Root cause analysis and post-incident forensics

Multi-Layered Security Architecture

Multi-Layered Security Architecture provides defense-in-depth by deploying security controls across multiple vectors—network, endpoint, identity, application, and cloud. This layered approach ensures that if one control fails, others are in place to detect or block the threat.

Key components may include:

Next-generation firewalls and intrusion prevention systems
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Email and web security gateways
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and encryption
Secure cloud access via CASB and Zero Trust principles

This architecture is tailored to meet your organisation’s risk profile and operational requirements, reducing blind spots and improving resilience.

Proactive Risk Management & Compliance

Proactive Risk Management & Compliance involves the ongoing assessment, mitigation, and reporting of cybersecurity risks in line with industry regulations and best practices. It ensures that your security posture aligns with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, POPIA, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA.

Key services include:

Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
Risk scoring and security posture audits
Policy and control implementation guidance
Regulatory gap analysis and compliance reporting
Continuous improvement through threat trend tracking

This forward-looking approach helps reduce exposure, meet regulatory obligations, and foster customer trust.
