  • Managed Password Manager-Blue

    Essentials Add-on: Password Manager

    Auto-pilot for all your passwords

    There’s a reason cyber security specialists like us harp on about updating your credentials. With passwords causing over 80% of security breaches, password management is one area where it isn’t just desirable to be one step ahead. It’s essential.

    But we know using a unique and complex password for every single online account is easier said than done. Which is why our Password Manager remembers all your passwords across all your devices, so you don’t have to. It will even generate secure passwords for you automatically whenever you sign up for something new.

    Why you might want this:

  • Managed Breach Detection-Blue

    Essentials Add-on: Breach Detection

    The last line of defence

    It’s hardly news that cyber-attacks are more frequent – and more sophisticated – than ever. But today's malware can outsmart traditional anti-virus systems.

    With malware able to morph into seemingly harmless content to evade your security systems, it means there’s more to fighting off cyber-attacks than updating your anti-virus and hiding behind a spam filter in the hope that your business wins a game of hide and seek.

    Unlike an anti-virus suite, which compares your files with a list of known viruses, we’ll deploy a 24x7 Breach Detection service to continuously monitor the behaviour of your files for unusual activity. This means we’ll get automatic notification of threats to your business before they can damage your files – or your operations - even if they evade front-line defences

    Why you might want this:

    ✔️ Peace of mind 24x7x365 monitoring

    ✔️ Rapid response to unusual file activity

    ✔️ Protection from malware that has breached your front-line defences


    $6 EX GST Per device Per Month

  • Essentials Office 365

    Essential Add-on: Microsoft 365 Backup

    Peace of mind backup for Microsoft 365

    Microsoft provides you with a wide array of powerful services within your Office 365 environment – but a comprehensive backup of your Office 365 data is not one of them.

    Our Managed Complete Backup for Microsoft 365 means you can avoid the unnecessary risks of accidental – or intentional - data loss and have complete control of your Microsoft 365 data. Our automated background tasks will back up your M365 business environment, including your Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data (note that Teams chat data is not included due to Microsoft limitations), so we can easily browse versions and quickly restore mailboxes, folders or other items.

    This service is available with either a 3-year or 7-year data retention period.

    Why you might want this:

    ✔️ Risk-free automated data backups

    ✔️ Granular recovery of Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data

    The Gold Standard in Protection from malware, viruses, and ransomware

    Application Control protects against ransomware, viruses, and other software-based threats.

    Why you might want this:

    ✔️ Block applications from accessing data

    ✔️ Block applications from accessing system resources

    ✔️ Stop untrusted software from running on your systems
