Let’s talk about IT

3 cybersecurity questions

  1. Could your business qualify for cyber insurance — or pass your next renewal?
  2. Do you know what a breach would actually cost you — in recovery, downtime, regulatory penalties, and lost client trust?
  3. Would your employees spot a phishing attempt — or are they one click away from triggering a breach?

Without a dedicated security program, your exposure grows every day — and so does the cost of fixing it.

Cybersecurity that’s designed for your environment

Strong cybersecurity isn’t a product stack, but a program built around how your business operates, what your industry requires, and where you’re actually exposed. We work from established frameworks like NIST and CIS, scoped to your environment so every layer earns its place.

Assess your real exposure:
We start by mapping your entire environment — what you have, how it’s configured, and where the gaps are. The output is a prioritized plan, scoped to the risk you actually carry.
Build a layered defense:
No single tool stops every threat. We deploy layered protection across your endpoints, email, network, and cloud services — the architecture that satisfies cyber insurers and reduces your exposure.
Monitor and detect threats:
24/7 threat monitoring and detection is something most businesses can’t staff for internally — but it’s standard in every Macro engagement.
Respond and recover:
If a threat reaches your environment, response time determines the damage. We contain it, execute your response plan, and get your operations back online — fast.
Maintain your security posture:
Cybersecurity has to be provable, not just present. We maintain the documentation and evidence your insurers, regulators, and clients expect.

Macro’s cybersecurity portfolio

Macro maintains a full portfolio of cybersecurity services — covering every layer from endpoint to cloud, every entry point from email to network. We pull from this portfolio to build the right program for your environment, your industry, and your risk profile.

  • Cybersecurity risk assessment

    A structured evaluation of where you stand against insurer requirements and the frameworks your industry expects — NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CMMC, FINRA. Gaps and risks are addressed in a prioritized remediation plan.

  • Security awareness training and phishing simulations

    68% of breaches involve human error — which makes your team your most targeted attack surface. Our training sharpens the instincts your team needs to spot suspicious activity. Simulated phishing tests show you exactly who needs more support.

  • Managed detection and response (MDR / EDR)

    Behavioral monitoring across every endpoint — catching the attack patterns that bypass traditional antivirus. When something gets flagged, our security team steps in to contain, investigate, resolve.

  • 24/7/365 SOC monitoring

    Threat actors don’t keep business hours. Our Security Operations Center runs around the clock — so when something hits overnight or over a weekend, we’re already on it.

  • Email security and phishing defense

    Most cyberattacks begin with a single email click. We deploy layered email protection covering phishing, business email compromise, spoofing, and impersonation — the attack types most likely to drive direct financial loss.

  • Identity management

    Weak access controls are one of the most exploited gaps in any security program. We manage user provisioning, permissions, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) — so access is always current, scoped, and appropriate to the role.

  • Zero trust architecture

    Traditional security models assumed that anyone inside your network belonged there. Zero Trust verifies every user and device, every time, before granting access. We implement it across your environment — so access is always earned, never assumed.

  • Network security services

    Most networks have firewalls and access controls in place. Few have them configured to actually contain damage. We deliver firewall management, network segmentation, and access controls that limit an attacker’s movements.

  • Vulnerability management

    We deploy continuous scanning for known vulnerabilities across your environment, with each finding tracked from discovery through remediation. Results come back prioritized by risk and exposure.

  • Penetration testing

    Where scans look for known vulnerabilities, pen testing goes further. Our team attempts to break into your environment the way an attacker would, gaining access by identifying and leveraging the exploits that automated tools miss. We deliver a map of the attack path and a remediation document built around our findings.

  • Cyber insurance readiness

    We map your controls against current insurer requirements and maintain the documentation your underwriter will ask for at renewal.

Your cybersecurity questions — answered

What are cybersecurity services for businesses?
Cybersecurity services for businesses are managed programs that protect an organization’s systems, networks, and data from digital threats. They typically include endpoint security, email security, network monitoring, threat detection and response, vulnerability management, and cybersecurity risk assessments. For most businesses, these services are delivered by a managed security services provider rather than maintained entirely in-house — because the scope of coverage required exceeds what most internal teams can sustain alone.
What cybersecurity services does my business need?
The cybersecurity services your business needs depend on your industry, size, and regulatory environment. At a minimum, most businesses need endpoint security with EDR, email security, 24/7 network monitoring, multi-factor authentication, data backup with tested recovery, and a documented incident response plan. Organizations in regulated industries — finance, healthcare, manufacturing — also need compliance-aligned security controls that satisfy frameworks like HIPAA, FINRA, CMMC, or PCI DSS. A cybersecurity risk assessment is the most reliable way to identify what’s specifically missing in your environment.
How do managed cybersecurity services work?
Managed cybersecurity services — sometimes called managed security services or MSSP services — work by outsourcing your security monitoring, threat response, and control management to a specialized provider. After an initial assessment of your environment, your provider deploys a security program — endpoint protection, email security, network monitoring — and manages it on your behalf. When a threat is detected, the security team investigates and responds, often resolving issues before you’re aware of them. Your security program is reviewed and updated as the threat landscape evolves, and your documentation is maintained to satisfy insurers and regulators.
What is a cybersecurity risk assessment?
A cybersecurity risk assessment is a structured evaluation of your organization’s IT environment, existing security controls, and potential vulnerabilities. It identifies gaps between your current posture and what your insurers, regulators, or frameworks like NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, or CMMC require. The output is a prioritized list of findings and a remediation roadmap. For most businesses, a risk assessment is the starting point for building or improving a managed cybersecurity program — and it’s often required before a cyber insurance policy can be issued or renewed.
What is the difference between cybersecurity and IT support?
The difference between cybersecurity and IT support comes down to focus. IT support handles the day-to-day operations and reliability of your technology environment — resolving issues, managing devices, and keeping systems running. Cybersecurity is a dedicated program focused on identifying, preventing, and responding to threats against those systems. At Macro, they’re not separate programs — cybersecurity is embedded into every managed IT engagement, because protecting your environment and managing it are the same responsibility.
What's the difference between Macro and a managed security services provider (MSSP)?
The difference between Macro and a managed security services provider (MSSP) comes down to scope and integration. A managed security services provider (MSSP) typically focuses on security as a standalone service — deploying tools, monitoring threats, and operating a SOC, usually alongside a separate IT provider. Macro takes a different approach: cybersecurity is built into every Managed IT engagement, delivered by the same team that runs your environment day to day. That structure works well for mid-market organizations that want one accountable team for both IT operations and security — not two vendors who don’t talk to each other.
How do you protect a business from ransomware?
Protecting a business from ransomware requires a layered approach: email security to block phishing attempts at the gateway, endpoint detection and response to catch threats that reach devices, offsite and immutable backups that can’t be encrypted by an attacker, multi-factor authentication to limit credential-based access, and a tested incident response plan. Ransomware protection services combine all of these into a managed program — so no single point of failure puts your entire environment at risk.
How does cybersecurity affect cyber insurance?
Cybersecurity directly affects your cyber insurance. Insurers now require documented proof of specific controls before issuing or renewing a policy — including multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, offsite backup, access management, and incident response planning. Macro’s security programs are built to satisfy these requirements, and we maintain the documentation and evidence trail your insurer will ask for at renewal. Organizations that can’t demonstrate these controls risk having their coverage denied or their premiums significantly increased.
What cybersecurity frameworks does Macro support?
The cybersecurity frameworks Macro supports include NIST CSF, CIS, HIPAA Security Rule requirements, SOC 2 controls, PCI DSS, CMMC 2.0, and FINRA cybersecurity guidelines. We align your security posture to the frameworks most relevant to your industry and regulatory environment — rather than a generic approach applied uniformly across clients.
