The Hours Nobody Is Watching
Ransomware crews work weekends and holidays on purpose. The gap between something starting and somebody noticing is where the damage gets done.
Somebody Is Actually Looking
Continuous monitoring across your network, endpoints, and cloud accounts. Not a dashboard nobody opens, an analyst who calls you.
Alerts That Reach a Human
Escalation paths that end with a person, at 3am and on the Sunday of a holiday weekend, which is when this tends to happen.
Response in Minutes
Critical alerts get a response in under 15 minutes. Containment first, the full explanation second.
A View You Can Check in Ten Seconds
Open alerts, recent incidents, and everything that got handled without you having to know about it. Dashboards nobody reads are furniture, so this one is built to be glanced at and closed.
- Live network traffic analysis
- Automated alert prioritization
- Historical trend reporting

What We Watch
The same tooling a much larger firm would run, sized and priced for a practice with a dozen people in it.
SIEM Correlation
Logs from every system in one place, so a failed login here and a new mailbox rule there stop looking unrelated.
Intrusion Detection
Network and host sensors that flag access attempts and lateral movement while they're happening.
Incident Playbooks
Written steps for the common cases, so nobody improvises at 2am. Analysts follow them and adjust when reality disagrees.
Threat Intelligence
Feeds that tell us which campaigns are currently pointed at tax and financial firms, which is not the same list it was last quarter.
Endpoint Detection and Response
EDR on every workstation, laptop, and phone that touches client data, including the one somebody takes home in April.
Behavioral Baselines
We learn what normal traffic looks like at your firm, so a 3am bulk download from a preparer's account reads as strange.
Who It's For
Firms where a quiet weekend intrusion turns into a Monday nobody forgets.
CPA Firms
Taxpayer data watched in February and in the quiet weeks, when attackers prefer to do their looking around.
Accounting Practices
Coverage and audit trails that answer the monitoring and logging expectations in IRS Publication 4557.
Financial Advisors
Continuous oversight and written incident records, for the day a client's attorney asks what happened and when.
Dwell Time Is the Whole Problem
Ransomware rarely announces itself on arrival. The Black Basta group hit a 200-employee legal firm, encrypted the data the practice ran on, and demanded a million dollars, and that demand was the first unmistakable sign anything was wrong. That's the pattern, not the exception. Somebody gets in through a stolen credential or an unpatched edge device, looks around, works out where the backups live and which servers matter, and waits to pull the trigger until encrypting everything at once will hurt the most. The looking around takes days. Sometimes weeks. The whole time, the firm is billing hours and answering the phone with no idea.
That waiting period is the only part of a ransomware event you can realistically win, and it's the entire argument for monitoring. Nobody can promise your firm will never be breached, and we won't. What monitoring changes is when you find out. A strange login at 4am, an account opening file shares it has never touched, an admin tool appearing on a workstation with no business running one: any of those is dull on its own and damning in sequence. Catch it during the reconnaissance and you're revoking a session. Catch it after encryption and you're deciding whether to pay, which is a far worse meeting. If you've never seen how one of these unfolds, the incident response write-up on that legal firm case is worth ten minutes, and our walkthrough of the first 24 hours after a breach covers what your side of it looks like.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 24/7 threat monitoring actually include?
Network traffic, endpoints, email, and cloud accounts under continuous watch, with analysts reviewing what the tooling flags. They're looking for unglamorous signals: a login from a country nobody visits, a mailbox rule quietly forwarding to an outside address, an account pulling far more files than it ever has before.
How quickly do you respond?
Under 15 minutes on critical alerts. Automated containment can move faster than that on known patterns, isolating a machine before an analyst has finished reading the alert. The analyst still reads it, because automation gets things wrong in interesting ways.
Do you work with the tools we already have?
Yes. The platform pulls from major firewalls, endpoint tools, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and most practice management software. Consolidating the logs is usually where the value shows up, since an attack looks obvious in aggregate and invisible one system at a time.
How does monitoring help with IRS compliance?
IRS Publication 4557 expects firms to monitor and log access to taxpayer data. Continuous monitoring produces those logs, plus incident documentation you'd otherwise be reconstructing from memory months later. Useful during an IRS review, and considerably more useful with your insurer.
What reporting do we get?
A monthly summary in plain language, a quarterly risk review, live dashboards, and a written report for any incident. Reporting exists to change a decision. If yours is only ever filed, tell us and we'll cut it down to the part you'd act on.
