What Does Managed Cyber Security Control Services Involve?

Our team of cyber security professionals will help tailor our managed security services to your business’s needs. We start with the essential cyber security controls needed to safeguard day-to-day operations, then layer additional cyber security measures aligned to your environment, industry and compliance obligations. 

Each cyber control is mapped to recognised standards and frameworks, giving you clarity on what’s required to remain secure and compliant, without unnecessary complexity.

Talk to Qbit IT Solutions today to identify the right cyber security controls for your organisation and build a security posture you can rely on.

The essential first layer of cyber defence every business needs. This package safeguards your critical data and systems against common threats, ensuring you meet fundamental security standards and reduce the risk of costly data breaches.

Keeping systems up to date is critical for security. Qbit ensures all computers run Windows 11 and applies patches daily. If a reboot is required, users will be prompted, helping maintain cyber protection without impacting productivity.

Ransomware can cripple a business in minutes. Our Qbit Agent provides continuous monitoring for ransomware activity. If detected, the affected device is immediately isolated from the network to prevent the threat from spreading, protecting your data and business operations.

Your cloud data is valuable and needs reliable security controls for added protection. Qbit’s Microsoft 365 Backup solution provides automated, secure backups for Emails, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. Fully managed by Qbit, this service ensures compliance and peace of mind with minimal effort from your team.

Modern threats require advanced defence. Qbit deploys Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software across all devices and actively monitors alerts. This proactive approach helps identify and contain suspicious activity before it becomes a serious incident.

Human error is one of the biggest security risks. Qbit delivers short, engaging training videos with quick quizzes to all staff, building practical awareness of common threats. Completion reports help you track progress and strengthen your organisation’s cyber security culture.

Phishing attacks are a leading cause of data breaches. Qbit sends simulated phishing emails to test staff readiness. If someone clicks, they receive instant feedback on what to look for, turning mistakes into learning opportunities for your team and reducing future cyber risk.

Compromised credentials often appear on the dark web before cyber attacks occur. Qbit continuously monitors for exposed email and password combinations linked to your organisation and provides alerts with remediation advice, helping you act before cyber criminals do.

Passwords alone aren’t enough. MultiFactor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring two or more verification factors at login. Qbit ensures MFA is enabled and configured correctly across Microsoft 365 accounts to protect against unauthorised access.

These frameworks provide clear guidance for reducing risk and meeting compliance obligations. Our optional add-ons help you achieve these standards by adding advanced cyber controls and monitoring.

Real-time continuous monitoring and automated alerts for suspicious activity in Microsoft 365.

Frequently Asked Questions

In cybersecurity, controls are safeguards used to protect systems, networks, and data from threats. There are several types, each serving a different purpose:

Security controls: set of safeguards used to manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. These include technical, administrative, and physical measures that protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Preventive controls: designed to stop security incidents before they occur. Examples include firewalls, access controls, antivirus software, and multi-factor authentication.

Detective controls: used to identify and alert teams to security incidents that have occurred or are in progress. Examples include intrusion detection systems (IDS), security monitoring, and log analysis.

Corrective controls: applied after an incident to fix issues and reduce further impact. Examples include patching vulnerabilities, removing malware, and system reconfiguration.

Recovery controls: helps restore systems and operations after a security incident. Examples include data backups, disaster recovery plans, and business continuity arrangements.

Technical controls: security measures enforced using technology, such as encryption, firewalls, endpoint protection, and authentication systems.

Administrative (management) controls: policies, procedures, and processes that guide how security is managed. Examples include security policies, staff training, risk assessments, and incident response plans.

Physical controls: measures that protect physical access to systems and facilities. Examples include locks, access cards, CCTV, and secure server rooms.

Deterrent controls: controls intended to discourage attacks by making systems appear well-protected. Examples include warning banners and visible security measures.

Compensating controls: alternative controls used when a primary control cannot be implemented, providing comparable risk reduction. Examples include increased monitoring when a technical control is not feasible.

At Qbit, our managed cyber security controls span all control types and align with recognised industry standards, delivering layered protection across your entire environment.

The cybersecurity controls your business needs depend on factors such as your business size, industry, the type of data you handle, regulatory requirements, and your overall cyber risk. A good starting point is to identify your critical systems and sensitive data, assess the most likely threats and vulnerabilities, and then develop a risk management plan.

At Qbit, our friendly team will assist you in identifying the cybersecurity controls that are most relevant to your business by conducting risk-based assessments and aligning recommendations with recognised frameworks such as the Australian Essential Eight, ISO 27001, NIST, SMB1001 and DISP.

Cybersecurity controls should be reviewed at least quarterly and updated as risks, threats and business environments change. As part of Qbit’s managed cyber security services, we continuously monitor, regularly review, and proactively update cyber controls to ensure they remain effective, standards-aligned and appropriate for your organisation.
