The most dangerous assumption in small business cybersecurity is that nothing has happened yet, so nothing is wrong. When I run a dark web scan on a new client, I find active credential exposures more often than not. The breach already happened. They just did not know it.
What Is Included
Six layers of protection that work together. Removing any one of them creates a gap.
EDR on every device
SentinelOne endpoint detection and response replaces legacy antivirus entirely. It monitors behavior, not just signatures, so it catches ransomware, fileless attacks, and zero-days that traditional tools never see coming.
Email security and phishing protection
Phishing is the entry point for most small business breaches. We layer filtering, link analysis, and anti-spoofing controls in front of your inbox so malicious emails stop before delivery.
MFA enforcement and identity security
Multi-factor authentication is the single highest-return security control you can implement. We enforce it across Microsoft 365 and other platforms, and configure conditional access so stolen passwords become dead ends.
Dark web monitoring
Your credentials are likely already in breach databases. We scan continuously for your domains and email addresses so you find out about exposures before attackers use what they have.
Security awareness training
Your team is either your biggest vulnerability or your best defense. Regular phishing simulations and short training modules turn employees into the layer that catches what technology misses.
Quarterly vulnerability review
We scan for unpatched systems and misconfigurations on a quarterly schedule. Most breaches exploit known vulnerabilities. Identifying them before attackers do is the entire point.
What It Costs to Skip This
Security incidents are not covered by a monthly fee you did not pay. They are covered by the business owner, personally.
Average SMB breach cost
IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report puts the average small business breach cost at $108,000 when you factor in downtime, recovery, notification, and regulatory exposure. That is not a headline number for a Fortune 500. That is what it costs a 20-person company in Orlando that did not have the right controls in place.
Business email compromise losses
The FBI reported $2.9 billion in BEC losses in its 2023 Internet Crime Report. These attacks do not require malware. An attacker compromises an email account, impersonates an executive or vendor, and redirects a wire transfer. The average loss per incident for small businesses is over $130,000. MFA and email security stop most of these.
Ransomware recovery without clean backups
A ransomware incident without tested, immutable backups leaves you two choices: pay the ransom (median demand $700,000 per the 2023 Sophos State of Ransomware Report, with no guarantee of recovery) or rebuild from scratch (weeks of downtime, all data potentially gone). Many small businesses do not survive either outcome.
Cyber insurance denial for missing controls
Insurers are increasingly denying claims when basic controls were absent at the time of the incident. No MFA. No EDR. No documented security policy. The business paid premiums for years and collects nothing because the controls their policy required were never actually implemented.

Why EagleOnyx
Zero percent outsourced
Every security decision, every alert response, every configuration change is done by the EagleOnyx team directly. No offshore helpdesk. No contractors with separate access credentials you cannot audit. When we say your security is managed, we mean we are personally handling it. That matters when something goes wrong at 11pm on a Friday.
Proactive posture, not reactive cleanup
Most security vendors wait for alerts. We actively hunt for misconfiguration, credential exposure, and policy drift on a regular schedule. Dark web monitoring runs continuously. Vulnerability scans run quarterly. MFA policies are reviewed when your team changes. Security is not something you set up once and forget.
Otto is accountable for every security decision
Founder-led means there is no diffusion of responsibility. If something is misconfigured, Otto missed it. If a tool is not working, Otto is fixing it. That accountability changes behavior. We do not let things slide because there is no one else to notice. There is always someone who cares about how this looks, and that person is the one making decisions.
Specific tools, not vague promises
We use SentinelOne EDR deployed to every device, a dedicated email security layer in front of Microsoft 365, continuous dark web monitoring across your domains, and MFA with conditional access configured correctly from day one. We can tell you exactly what tool is doing what. If you ask, we show you. Security theater is not in our interest, and it is not in yours.
