IT Security Services EDR. Email Security. SOC Monitoring.
Ransomware Defense. Compliance.

A complete IT security program from Gradius includes: enterprise EDR on every endpoint (workstations, laptops, servers); advanced email security with anti-phishing, anti-spoofing, and BEC detection; DMARC, DKIM, and SPF email authentication configuration; MFA enforcement across Microsoft 365, VPN, remote access, and other critical systems; U.S.-based SOC monitoring 24/7 for threat detection and incident response; network monitoring for lateral movement and exfiltration; patch management across operating systems and applications; immutable offsite backup with tested recovery procedures; and compliance programs for applicable frameworks (HIPAA, NIST, PCI DSS, SOC 2, SEC/FINRA). All delivered as a continuously maintained program at flat-rate pricing.

Standard antivirus is signature-based — it compares files against a database of known malware signatures. This is effective against known threats but misses novel threats, zero-day exploits, and fileless malware that don't have signatures to match. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is behavior-based — it monitors what processes are doing, not just what files look like. If a process starts encrypting files at abnormal speed (ransomware behavior), or a legitimate application spawns an unusual child process (code injection), EDR detects and blocks the behavior regardless of whether the threat is in any signature database. For most businesses, the difference between EDR and antivirus is the difference between catching modern ransomware and finding out about it after encryption is complete.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol that tells receiving mail servers what to do with emails that fail authentication checks — specifically, emails that claim to come from your domain but don't actually originate from your authorized sending infrastructure. Without DMARC, an attacker can send an email that appears to come from yourdomain.com to your clients, vendors, or employees with no technical barrier. With DMARC properly configured (along with DKIM and SPF), those spoofed emails are rejected or quarantined before reaching the recipient. For BEC attacks that impersonate your firm's email to redirect wire transfers or request sensitive information, DMARC is the control that prevents your domain from being weaponized. Many businesses have partial email authentication configured but haven't completed the DMARC implementation that makes it effective.

Immutable backup means backup copies that cannot be modified, encrypted, or deleted — not even by an administrator — for a defined retention period. Standard backup systems are often connected to the same network as the systems they back up, which means ransomware that has compromised the network can reach the backup server and encrypt those copies along with everything else. Immutable backup is stored in a way that is physically or logically separated from the production environment and write-protected — so even if ransomware encrypts every file on the network, the backup copies remain intact and recoverable. The practical difference: with standard backup, a ransomware event often results in paying the ransom or losing the data. With immutable backup, full recovery is possible without either outcome.

Core security controls — EDR deployment, email security configuration, DMARC/DKIM/SPF setup, and MFA enforcement — are typically implemented within 1–2 weeks. SOC monitoring begins as soon as EDR and monitoring agents are deployed. Immutable backup configuration follows immediately after, as it requires setup of the backup infrastructure and initial baseline backup. Compliance program documentation is built over the first 30–60 days as the security posture is assessed and the required policies and procedures are developed. The full program is operational within 30 days for most businesses; compliance documentation is complete within 60 days. Security gaps that existed for years close within weeks.

No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Security is most effective when it's continuous — maintained, updated, and monitored over time rather than implemented once and left in place. Businesses stay with Gradius because the security program is maintained as the threat landscape evolves, the compliance posture stays current, and the SOC keeps watching even when no one else is. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
