One Security Partner, However Far You Need to Go
Most businesses don’t need to choose between secure and affordable. NecSec Defend gives you genuine, continuously monitored protection across your whole environment, not just antivirus and hope. If your business has compliance obligations, handles sensitive client data, or needs a higher bar for cyber insurance or certification, NecSec Protect builds on Defend with deeper controls and support all the way through to certification.
Secure Your Business Now
NecSec Defend — Your Security Foundation
NecSec Defend isn’t a product you install and manage yourself. It’s a fully managed security service, hardened to the CIS Implementation Group 1 (IG1) standard across your Microsoft 365 environment and every device your team uses. Nectar owns the monitoring, the response, and the outcome, not just the alerts.
CIS IG1 Environment Hardening
Your Microsoft 365 tenant and every device are hardened to the CIS Implementation Group 1 (IG1) standard from day one, with identity and device policies deployed and enforced through Microsoft Intune. This isn’t a one-off scan. It’s maintained and kept aligned as an ongoing standard.
24/7 Threat Detection and Response
Active threat hunting across your devices and accounts, monitored around the clock. When something is found, it’s dealt with immediately, not just flagged for you to action.
Security Awareness Training
Regular phishing simulations and structured staff training, because your people are one of the most targeted parts of your business.
Backup, Password, and Domain Protection
Your Microsoft 365 data is backed up and recoverable, your team’s credentials are properly managed, and your domain is protected from being used to impersonate you.
Documented Plans and Reporting
A cyber incident response plan, a full policy library, and monthly and quarterly reporting so you always know exactly where you stand.
NecSec Protect — For When More Is Required
NecSec Protect includes everything in Defend, then raises the bar to the CIS Implementation Group 2 (IG2) standard, a materially higher bar than most managed security providers deliver. It’s built for businesses with compliance obligations, regulatory requirements, or a genuine need for tighter control over what runs on their systems and who can access what.
CIS IG2 Environment Hardening
Your Microsoft 365 tenant, every device, and your servers are hardened to the CIS Implementation Group 2 (IG2) standard, with deeper Intune device policy and cloud configuration than Defend provides.
Application Control
Only approved software runs on your systems, fully controlled, so unknown or unauthorised applications simply can’t execute.
Elevated Identity Protection
A Zero Trust approach to identity, covering every user, device, and administrator account, with tightly controlled access to your most sensitive systems.
Data Loss Prevention
Sensitive data is protected from leaving your business through email, uploads, or removable media.
Certification Support
Nectar supports you all the way through SMB1001 Gold certification, with annual recertification included.
Hive — Your IT Support, Simplified
Hive is Nectar’s managed IT support add-on, available alongside NecSec Defend or Protect. It gives your team unlimited remote IT support for a single predictable monthly fee, so security and IT support come from the same accountable team, not two providers pointing fingers at each other.
Unlimited Remote Support
Your team can reach our service desk as often as they need, with no per-ticket charge and no monthly cap.
User and Device Management
New starters, leavers, device policies, and day-to-day Microsoft 365 administration, all handled for you.
One Provider, One Invoice
Security and IT support from a single team, so nothing falls through the cracks between separate providers.
