Regulatory Note: OCR fines and state AG investigations can follow a single patient complaint or breach notification. Compliance is not optional.
Most small businesses have some but not all — antivirus but not EDR, basic email filtering but not DMARC, backup but not immutable backup. The gaps are where attacks succeed. Book a free security assessment and find out exactly which controls are in place, which are missing, and what it takes to close the gaps.
No disruption. No lengthy onboarding. A fast, smooth transition to a partner that has your back from day one.
A Gradius security engineer assesses your small business's current security posture — which of the six controls are in place, which are missing, what specific vulnerabilities exist, and what a complete cybersecurity program would cost at your size. At no cost, no obligation.
A flat-rate cybersecurity program sized for your small business — covering all six controls, implemented by Gradius, monitored 24/7, and maintained continuously. Priced per user, no surprises, no requirement for internal IT expertise to operate.
Our engineers deploy, configure, and meet your team — typically live within 1–2 weeks without disrupting daily operations.
EDR running on every device, email security filtering threats before they reach employees, MFA enforced on all systems, ransomware defense with immutable backup in place, 24/7 SOC watching for threats, and compliance documentation maintained — the complete small business cybersecurity program, continuously managed.
Gradius delivers the six cybersecurity controls every small business needs: enterprise EDR on every device (stops ransomware and malware that basic antivirus misses); advanced email security with DMARC configuration (stops phishing and spoofed emails before they reach employees); MFA enforcement on Microsoft 365 and all business systems (stolen passwords can't log in); ransomware defense with immutable backup (recover without paying); U.S.-based SOC monitoring 24/7 (someone is always watching); and compliance and cyber insurance documentation (proof that security controls are real and maintained). All six delivered as a managed program at flat-rate monthly pricing per user — no internal IT required.
Small businesses are targeted because attackers follow the path of least resistance. Large enterprises have security teams, enterprise-grade tools, and significant security budgets that make attacks harder and more expensive to execute. Small businesses typically have weaker defenses, fewer security controls, and employees who are busy doing their jobs rather than thinking about security — which makes them easier, faster, and cheaper to attack. Attackers use automated scanning tools that continuously probe the internet for specific vulnerabilities — unpatched software, missing MFA, weak email authentication, open remote desktop connections — and attack the organizations they find that have those gaps. Small businesses appear in those scans constantly. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center data consistently shows 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses.
Gradius delivers the complete six-control cybersecurity program at flat-rate monthly pricing per user — typically in the range of $50–$150 per user per month depending on the specific controls included and the size of the organization. For a 10-person small business, that means a complete, enterprise-grade cybersecurity program for approximately $500–$1,500 per month — fully managed, no internal IT required. Compare this to the cost of a ransomware attack: the FBI reports the average ransomware payment from small businesses is $170,000, not counting downtime, data recovery costs, reputational damage, or regulatory consequences. The math is straightforward. A free security assessment gives you a specific cost for your organization's size and security requirements.
The consequences of a cyberattack on an unprepared small business are often severe. Ransomware: encrypted files, business operations stopped, a demand for payment in cryptocurrency with no guarantee of recovery even if paid — and downtime averaging several weeks while systems are rebuilt. Data breach: notification obligations to every affected customer under state breach laws, regulatory scrutiny, and the reputational damage of customers learning their information was exposed. Business email compromise: money wired to attackers that is almost never recovered. CISA data shows that 60% of small businesses that suffer a significant cyberattack go out of business within six months of the attack. Cybersecurity investment is business continuity investment.
Most small businesses have the core security controls — EDR, email security, MFA, and immutable backup — fully implemented within 1–2 weeks. SOC monitoring begins as soon as the monitoring agents are deployed. Compliance documentation is completed within 30 days. The entire program is operational within 30 days for most small businesses — which means security gaps that existed for years can be closed within a month. The free security assessment identifies which controls need to be implemented and in what order, so the highest-risk gaps are addressed first.
No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Small businesses stay with Gradius because the security program is maintained, the threat monitoring is continuous, and the peace of mind that comes from having enterprise-grade cybersecurity in place is real — not aspirational. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
