Cybersecurity

Security isn't an add-on.
It's the foundation.

At JPtheGeek, we don't "add on" security — it's the foundation of everything we do. Holistic, proactive, custom-tailored. Relax. You're protected.

The Problem

Small businesses are targeted.
Most aren't protected.

Cybercriminals don't just go after big corporations anymore. SMBs are targeted specifically because they're assumed to have weaker defenses. The math is brutal.

43% of attacks target SMBs.

Verizon DBIR data. SMBs aren't flying under the radar — they're flying directly into the radar. The assumption that "we're too small to target" is exactly why attackers target them.

90%+ of ransomware starts with email.

A single click on a phishing email is enough. Most SMBs have either no email security or just basic spam filtering. That's not enough in 2026.

60% of SMBs close within 6 months of a major breach.

The cost of a breach for a typical SMB lands between $500,000 and $3M over the following 24 months. Most insurance policies now exclude or under-pay these losses.

Cyber insurance is denying claims.

Underwriters now require MFA, EDR, tested backups, awareness training. If you don't have those, your premium spikes — or your claim gets denied when something happens.

How real cybersecurity works

Layered defense.
Built into every plan.

No single control stops every attack. Real security is multiple layers, each catching what the others miss. We layer in everything from day one — not as an upcharge.

Built-in, not bolt-on.

Every JPtheGeek plan — managed, co-managed, or self-service via Quiet — includes the cybersecurity baseline. EDR, MFA, awareness training, monitoring, incident response. From day one.

THEO-augmented SOC.

Our 24/7 SOC runs on THEO — the AI we built ourselves. THEO watches every alert with full environmental context, correlates related signals across users and devices a human triager would never connect, isolates compromised endpoints automatically, and pulls our SOC engineers in the moment something looks wrong — not after a triage queue. It's 24/7 SOC without the 24/7 lag.

Compliance-ready by default.

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, SOC-aligned baselines. The bar that cyber insurance underwriters now require. Documented, audited, ready when the regulator asks.

What's in the stack

Layered defense that actually works.

Custom-tailored to your business — but every layer is here, monitored, and tested.

Threat Detection & Prevention

Endpoint detection & response (EDR) on every device. Behavioral analysis, not just signatures. Real-time threat hunting via 24/7 SOC.

Security Awareness Training

Simulated phishing campaigns. Monthly micro-training. Real-world reduction of 40-70% in phishing click-through over a sustained program. Your people become the first line of defense.

Email Security & Anti-Phishing

Advanced phishing protection, sandbox-detonated attachments, DMARC/SPF/DKIM authentication. 90%+ of ransomware starts with email — we shut that door tight.

MFA + Identity Security

Stolen credentials are behind 80%+ of breaches. We deploy MFA, conditional access, geo-fencing, privileged access management — so a leaked password alone can't open your doors.

Compliance & Risk Assessment

HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, SOC alignment. Documented risk analysis, written policies, BAA management, audit support. Underwriter-ready documentation.

Incident Response

Tested incident response plan. Tabletop drills with your team. When something happens — and statistically it will — we know exactly what to do, in what order, with whom.

Dark Web Monitoring

Your employees' credentials are likely already on the dark web from third-party breaches. We monitor continuously and alert you within hours — before attackers can use them.

Backup & Ransomware Recovery

Immutable, offsite, monitored backups. Tested recovery procedures. When ransomware hits, you recover in hours — not weeks. Never pay the ransom.

Managed Firewalls & Endpoint

Next-gen firewalls and endpoint protection across every device. Fortified at the network edge AND at every laptop, desktop, and mobile device.

“Always prompt and great service. It's always easy for me to understand. As always, quick, kind, caring & knowledgeable assistance.”

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need cybersecurity if I have antivirus?
Yes. Antivirus only catches known signature-based threats. Modern attackers use behavioral techniques, fileless attacks, and stolen credentials that antivirus alone cannot detect. EDR + 24/7 SOC + identity security + email filtering is the modern minimum.
What does this cost?
Cybersecurity is built into every JPtheGeek managed plan — no separate line item. If you're running existing IT and want to add just security, we offer co-managed cybersecurity scoped to your environment. Typical SMB: $40,000–$80,000/year all-in.
Do you do compliance work (HIPAA, PCI, CMMC)?
Yes. We support HIPAA-aligned, PCI-aligned, and CMMC-aligned environments. We do the assessments, build the documentation, run remediation, and stand alongside you in audits. We don't do attestation — that's the auditor's job — but we make sure you're ready.
Can you help us pass cyber insurance underwriting?
Yes — that's become a standard part of our work in 2026. Underwriters now require MFA, EDR, tested backups, awareness training, incident response plans. Our cybersecurity service maps to current underwriter requirements. Our managed clients pass renewals routinely.
What if we've already been breached?
Call us immediately at (317) 936-3300. We do incident response engagements: containment, forensic investigation, recovery, and post-incident hardening. The first hour matters most.
