Small team. Big target.
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, yet most have zero dedicated security staff and no incident response plan. STS delivers enterprise-grade security operations, compliance programs, and workforce training scaled for organizations with 10 to 500 employees and budgets that demand efficiency.
The reality facing small business.
Small businesses are the soft underbelly of the economy. They hold customer PII, process credit cards, manage employee data, and increasingly use cloud services, but rarely have the security infrastructure to protect any of it. Attackers know this. The average small business breach costs $108,000, and 60% of small businesses that suffer a significant breach close within 6 months.
What keeps small business leaders up at night.
No Security Team
Your 'security team' is the IT manager who also handles the printers, the phone system, and onboarding. They're not a security professional, they're a generalist drowning in tickets. There's no SOC, no SIEM, and no incident response plan.
Compliance Requirements Without Compliance Resources
PCI DSS if you take credit cards. HIPAA if you handle health data. State privacy laws. Vendor security questionnaires from enterprise clients. The compliance burden grows every year but the team doesn't.
Phishing Is Devastating
One employee clicks one link and the entire business is compromised. Without MFA, network segmentation, or endpoint detection, a single phishing email can lead to ransomware, BEC wire fraud, or complete data exfiltration.
Budget vs. Risk Mismatch
You can't afford a $500K/year security program. But you also can't afford a $108K breach that shuts down operations for 3 weeks and destroys customer trust. The math has to work differently for small business.
Supply Chain Pressure
Enterprise clients increasingly require vendor security assessments before doing business. Without a security program, small businesses lose contracts to competitors who can demonstrate SOC 2 or basic NIST alignment.
We don't sell small businesses a watered-down version of enterprise security. We deliver a right-sized program, the controls that matter most for your actual risk profile, managed so your team can focus on the business. Enterprise protection at small business economics.
Solutions built for small business.
Managed Security Bundle
Endpoint detection, email security, managed firewall, 24/7 monitoring, and incident response, bundled into a single monthly subscription. One vendor, one invoice, complete coverage. The SOC you need without the hire.
Compliance Made Practical
PCI DSS SAQ guidance, basic NIST CSF alignment, vendor questionnaire support, and policy templates that don't require a lawyer to understand. We get you compliant without making compliance your full-time job.
Security Awareness Training
Monthly simulated phishing, quarterly training, and a security culture program designed for small teams. Your employees become your first line of defense instead of your biggest vulnerability.
Incident Response Planning
A documented plan that tells your team exactly what to do when something goes wrong, who to call, what to disconnect, how to communicate, when to involve legal. Because the middle of a breach is the worst time to figure this out.
Fractional CISO
Senior security leadership on a fractional basis. Strategic guidance, board reporting, compliance oversight, and vendor management, without the $250K salary. A CISO who shows up when you need one.
Cyber Insurance Readiness
Insurance carriers are tightening requirements and raising premiums. We help you meet the controls insurers require, MFA, EDR, backups, IR plan, so you qualify for coverage at better rates.
Framework-mapped. Audit-ready.
