What This Retainer Solves
This retainer closes the continuous security gap often faced by growing businesses. It provides **proactive risk mitigation** by ensuring your foundational security elements (access controls, patching, monitoring) are reviewed and updated regularly, preventing costly incidents before they happen.
Key Deliverables & Accountability
A simple, actionable report identifying critical issues on your external systems.
Structured audit of user accounts to enforce the principle of **least privilege**, reducing insider threats.
Timely, prioritized guidance on *what* software needs patching *when* to block common exploits.
Who Is This Service For? 🎯
This retainer is designed for leaders who understand that security is continuous, but lack the internal resources to manage it.
- ✓ **The Growing SMB** that relies heavily on digital tools but cannot afford a full-time Chief Security Officer (CSO).
- ✓ **The Non-Technical Founder** who needs clear, non-jargon reports to ensure vendor and employee accountability.
- ✓ **The Small IT Team** that is overloaded with day-to-day operations and needs expert bandwidth for proactive compliance and patching oversight.
- ✓ **Businesses Seeking Compliance** that require formalized, auditable documentation proving they are actively monitoring and reviewing access rights.
Use Case Scenarios 💡
See how the MSA Retainer protects your business in real-world situations:
Scenario A: The Forgotten Employee
A former employee's account was missed during off-boarding. Our **Quarterly Access Review** flags the dormant account, allowing you to revoke access before it can be exploited by an attacker.
Scenario B: The Critical Software Flaw
A major vulnerability is discovered in your server software. Our **Patch Management Alerts** provide a clear, prioritized instruction on the update required, preventing the flaw from being used against you.
Scenario C: External Visibility
Your team launches a new client portal but forgets to close a specific port. The **Monthly Vulnerability Scan** catches the exposed entry point, allowing you to secure the system before it becomes a risk.
