Protect your organization from cyber threats with comprehensive risk management!


"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again."

Robert Swan Mueller III - Former Director of the FBI 

At CyberQA Inc., we deliver end-to-end cybersecurity that protects your people, networks, and data—without making unrealistic promises. Our approach covers the full lifecycle: assess → plan → implement → train → monitor → improve.

1) Assessment & Audit

  • Risk assessment of networks, endpoints, cloud accounts, and data flows.
  • Security posture review (policies, access controls, backups, logging).
  • Vulnerability scanning and (optionally) penetration testing.
  • Compliance gap check against industry best practices and applicable regulations.
  • Deliverables: findings, prioritized risk register, remediation roadmap.

2) Strategy & Planning

  • Tailored cybersecurity roadmap aligned to business goals and budget.
  • Security policies & standards: password/MFA, least privilege, remote access, BYOD.
  • Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) objectives and testing plan.
  • Network segmentation and zero-trust access strategy.
  • Tooling selection (firewall/UTM, EDR, email/DNS security, SIEM/logging, backup).

3) Implementation & Deployment

  • Firewall and threat management configuration (rules, IPS/IDS, geofencing, WAF where applicable).
  • Endpoint protection: EDR/NGAV rollout, disk encryption, device hardening, patch baselines.
  • Secure network design: VLANs, guest isolation, site-to-site & remote-access VPN, Wi-Fi policies.
  • Email & web security: phishing protection, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, DNS filtering, sandboxing.
  • Identity & access: MFA, SSO, conditional access, least-privilege RBAC.
  • Backup & recovery: immutable/offline copies, recovery objectives, test restores.
  • Documentation: as-built diagrams, runbooks, and admin handover notes.

4) Training & Awareness

  • Role-based security training for staff, IT, and leadership.
  • Phishing simulations with targeted follow-up micro-lessons.
  • Onboarding packs: NDA, acceptable use, BYOD, remote-work checklist.
  • Quick-reference guides for incident reporting and safe account/device practices.

5) Monitoring & Response

  • 24×7 alerting via managed tools (EDR, firewall/UTM, email/DNS, cloud security).
  • Log collection and correlation with actionable alerts.
  • Incident Response (IR): playbooks, containment, eradication, recovery, post-incident review.
  • Backup verification and periodic recovery drills.

6) Ongoing Maintenance & Improvement

  • Patch & update management for systems, firmware, and applications.
  • Quarterly security health checks and KPI reports.
  • Policy, access, and configuration reviews to address new risks and changes.
  • Roadmap updates as your business and the threat landscape evolve.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Cloud & SaaS hardening (Microsoft 365/Entra, Google Workspace, AWS/Azure).
  • UniFi Threat Management design and optimization for single or multi-site environments.
  • Third-party risk management and vendor security reviews.
  • Tabletop exercises and executive incident simulations.

Engagement Models

  • One-Time Engagement: Assessment & remediation project with handover.
  • Managed Security (Monthly): Continuous monitoring, updates, and reporting.
  • Hybrid: You keep day-to-day control; we handle advanced security operations.

As cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, it is imperative for SMBs to establish a robust cybersecurity plan to safeguard its digital assets, customer data, and overall operations. This plan outlines a comprehensive approach to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from cyber incidents effectively.

Establish a cybersecurity governance framework with clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability.
Conduct regular risk assessments to identify, evaluate, and prioritize cybersecurity risks.
Develop and maintain a risk register to track identified risks and mitigation efforts.
Align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives and regulatory requirements.

3. Security Controls and Policies:

Implement a layered approach to security, including network perimeter defenses, endpoint protection, access controls, and data encryption.
Enforce strong password policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regular password updates.
Restrict access to sensitive data on a need-to-know basis and monitor user activities.
Define and communicate acceptable use policies for company-owned devices and networks.
Regularly update software and systems to address known vulnerabilities and security patches.

4. Employee Training and Awareness:

Provide comprehensive cybersecurity training to all employees, contractors, and third-party vendors.
Educate employees on phishing awareness, social engineering tactics, and safe browsing practices.
Conduct simulated phishing exercises to test employee vigilance and awareness.
Foster a culture of cybersecurity awareness and encourage employees to report suspicious activities promptly.

5. Incident Response and Management:

Develop an incident response plan (IRP) outlining roles, procedures, and communication protocols in the event of a cyber incident.
Establish an incident response team with designated members responsible for coordinating response efforts.
Conduct tabletop exercises and simulations to test the effectiveness of the IRP and improve response capabilities.
Implement incident detection and monitoring tools to identify and mitigate threats in real-time.
Maintain relationships with law enforcement agencies, legal counsel, and cybersecurity experts for additional support during incidents.

6. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery:

Develop and maintain a business continuity plan (BCP) to ensure the continuity of operations in the event of a cyber incident or other disruptions.
Regularly back up critical data and systems to secure offsite locations.
Test backup and recovery procedures to verify their effectiveness and minimize downtime.
Establish alternative communication channels and work arrangements to support remote operations during disruptions.

7. Continuous Improvement:

Conduct regular cybersecurity audits and assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls and policies.
Monitor emerging cyber threats and vulnerabilities to adapt security measures accordingly.
Engage in ongoing training and professional development for cybersecurity personnel.
Collaborate with industry peers and participate in information-sharing initiatives to stay abreast of best practices and trends.
