This makes sure that your business meets compliance requirements, strengthens your cyber resilience, and protects against emerging digital threats. It also means that your internal security team can focus on other business goals while we manage threat detection, vulnerability management, and continuous monitoring.

Managed Security Services Aligned with SMB1001 Gold

Qbit’s Managed Security Services support many of the technical and operational controls businesses must address when working towards SMB1001 Gold certification. Having achieved SMB1001 Gold within our own business, Qbit brings practical experience in implementing, documenting and maintaining the security controls required to strengthen cyber resilience.

Our services can support your SMB1001 Gold journey through:

  • Identity and access management: Multi-factor authentication, privileged access management and least privilege access help ensure users only have access to the systems and information required for their roles.
  • Endpoint and threat protection: Endpoint protection, application control, XDR and 24/7 MDR help detect, investigate and respond to suspicious activity across your IT environment.
  • Vulnerability and patch management: Regular assessments, software updates and remediation planning help identify and address security weaknesses.
  • Email and cloud security: Advanced email filtering and SaaS monitoring help protect Microsoft 365 and other cloud applications from phishing, compromised accounts and unauthorised activity.
  • Backup and recovery: Managed backups, recovery planning and testing help protect critical business information and support continuity following a cyber incident.
  • Security governance: Risk assessments, security policies, reporting and quarterly IT Management Plans provide evidence of ongoing security management and continuous improvement.
  • Security awareness: Staff training and phishing simulations can help address human risk and build a stronger security culture.

Managed Security Services do not automatically provide SMB1001 certification. However, they can provide the technology, monitoring, documentation and ongoing management needed to address identified gaps and maintain applicable controls. Qbit can assess your current position, create a practical remediation plan and guide your business through the independent SMB1001 certification process.

MDR (Managed Detection & Response) focuses on 24/7 threat detection, incident management, and rapid response from security experts. On the other hand, MSS (Managed Security Services) provides a wider range of security services. This includes monitoring, management of intrusion detection systems, antivirus software, and overall security posture maintenance. 

Extended Detection and Response, or XDR, is a cybersecurity technology that collects and analyses security information across endpoints, email, identities, servers, networks and cloud applications. Rather than examining each system separately, XDR connects activity across the environment to identify patterns that may indicate a cyberattack. This gives security specialists greater visibility and helps them investigate, contain and respond to threats faster.

Antivirus is primarily designed to identify and block malicious files or software on an individual device. Managed Detection and Response, or MDR, provides a broader managed security service that combines advanced detection technology with human cybersecurity expertise. MDR specialists monitor your environment 24/7, investigate suspicious activity and respond to confirmed threats. Antivirus remains an important layer of protection, but MDR provides the continuous monitoring and active response businesses need to defend against more sophisticated attacks.

Privileged Access Management, or PAM, protects accounts with elevated permissions, such as administrator accounts that can change system settings, access sensitive information or manage other users. PAM can control who receives privileged access, require additional authentication, securely manage administrator credentials and record privileged activity. This reduces the risk of powerful accounts being misused by attackers, employees or unauthorised third parties.

Least privilege access means giving each user, application or system only the minimum level of access required to perform its authorised function. For example, an employee who does not need to install software should not have local administrator permissions. Applying least privilege access helps reduce accidental changes, unauthorised access and the ability of an attacker to move through the business network after compromising an account. Access should also be regularly reviewed and removed when roles or employment circumstances change.
