Answers

Cybersecurity FAQs

What cybersecurity protections are included?
You get six layers of security. DNS filtering blocks bad websites. Email scanning catches threats. SentinelOne MDR watches for attacks 24/7. We check the dark web for stolen passwords. We train your team to spot phishing. ThreatLocker stops ransomware. All included in your monthly fee.
What is MDR (Managed Detection and Response)?
MDR means Managed Detection and Response. Think of it as security guards for your systems, 24/7. SentinelOne MDR spots threats and responds fast, even at 3am. Unlike basic antivirus, real analysts investigate alerts and stop threats before they spread.
How do you protect against phishing attacks?
We block phishing in several ways. We scan email attachments for malware. We check links before your team clicks. We block dangerous websites. We send fake phishing tests to train your staff, so they spot real attacks before damage occurs.
What is dark web monitoring and why do I need it?
We scan places where hackers sell stolen data. If your passwords show up for sale, we tell you right away. You can change them before attackers strike. This matters because most breaches start with stolen passwords.
What is application whitelisting?
It's one of the best ways to stop ransomware. We make a list of approved software. Only those programs can run. If malware tries to run, it fails because it's not on the list. This stops new threats that antivirus has never seen. We use ThreatLocker, included in our services.
Do you provide security awareness training for employees?
Yes. Your team gets ongoing training to spot scams. We use short lessons and test them with fake phishing emails. You get reports showing how everyone does. Training your people is one of the best security investments you can make.
How do you protect against ransomware?
BRITECITY uses a 5-layer ransomware defense strategy that has maintained a 100% ransomware prevention record across our 100+ managed clients since 2008. Layer 1: Application whitelisting via ThreatLocker blocks unauthorized executables. Layer 2: SentinelOne AI-powered endpoint detection identifies and isolates threats in under 60 seconds. Layer 3: Email security scanning filters 99.9% of phishing attempts before they reach inboxes. Layer 4: DNS filtering blocks access to known malicious domains. Layer 5: Verified immutable backups with 15-minute recovery point objectives ensure data restoration if all other layers are bypassed. Our security operations center monitors all endpoints 24/7/365, and our average incident response time is under 15 minutes. For Orange County small businesses, ransomware prevention typically costs between $8 and $15 per user per month as part of a managed IT services plan.
Can you help with compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.)?
Yes. Our setup supports HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and other rules. We give you the docs, policies, and controls you need. We work with your auditors. If you're in healthcare, we'll sign a BAA.
What happens if we experience a security incident?
Our team jumps on it fast, often before you know. For big incidents, we contain the threat first. Then we investigate, clean up systems, and document everything. We help you decide who to notify and what to tell your staff.
What is managed cybersecurity?
Managed cybersecurity is when a specialized provider like BRITECITY handles your entire security operation — monitoring threats 24/7, managing endpoint protection tools like SentinelOne and ThreatLocker, running security awareness training, and responding to incidents. Instead of hiring a full in-house security team, you get enterprise-grade protection for a predictable monthly fee. Our POLARITY platform covers your computers, email, and people in one comprehensive package.
How much does cybersecurity cost for a small business?
Cybersecurity costs for small businesses typically range from $15 to $50 per user per month for managed security services, depending on the level of protection. BRITECITY bundles cybersecurity into our managed IT plans so you get endpoint detection, email security, dark web monitoring, and security training without paying for each tool separately. There are no long-term contracts and no hidden fees — contact us for a custom quote based on your team size and compliance needs.
What cybersecurity services does an MSP provide?
A managed service provider (MSP) like BRITECITY provides layered cybersecurity services including: endpoint detection and response (EDR) using SentinelOne, application allowlisting with ThreatLocker, email security with attachment scanning and link protection, dark web monitoring for compromised credentials, security awareness training for employees, multi-factor authentication (MFA) management, automated patching for operating systems and third-party software, and VPN configuration with Cisco Secure Client. We also assist with compliance frameworks like HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS.
How do I know if my business has been hacked?
Common signs your business may have been hacked include: unexpected password reset emails, unusually slow computer or network performance, employees locked out of accounts, unfamiliar programs or browser extensions appearing, unexpected outbound network traffic, ransomware messages demanding payment, or clients reporting suspicious emails from your domain. If you suspect a breach, call BRITECITY's emergency line immediately — we offer 1-hour phone response for security incidents and can guide you through containment and recovery.
What is endpoint detection and response (EDR)?
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is an advanced security technology that continuously monitors your computers and devices for suspicious activity, automatically detects threats like malware and ransomware, and can isolate infected machines before damage spreads. BRITECITY uses SentinelOne, an AI-powered EDR platform trusted by Fortune 500 companies, as part of our POLARITY cybersecurity stack. Unlike traditional antivirus that only scans for known threats, EDR uses behavioral analysis to catch zero-day attacks and fileless malware.
