Cybersecurity & Protection

Defense across identity, network, endpoint, and data. When something triggers a detection, our analysts respond and contain it. You don't get a ticket that sits in a queue overnight.

Public security posture

What EFROS scans, what requires written authorization, how data is handled.

What we scan externally

Passive read-only signals only: DNS, email authentication (SPF / DKIM / DMARC / MTA-STS / TLS-RPT / BIMI), HTTPS / TLS configuration, web security headers, brand exposure (typosquats, CT-log subdomains), infrastructure reputation, and compliance readiness markers. Full methodology at /security-score/methodology.

What requires written authorization

Anything that goes beyond passive public signals: penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, social engineering, authenticated tenant review, endpoint enumeration, network intrusion, active exploitation. These run only under a signed Rules of Engagement and authorization letter naming the scope.

Data handling

Client data stays in the client tenant by default. Read-only auditor / global-reader access is preferred; elevated access is time-boxed and logged. Encryption at rest (AES-256), in transit (TLS 1.2+ with HSTS + MTA-STS). Audit logs retained for 12 months minimum (longer for regulated scope).

Security contact

Responsible disclosure: [email protected]. Full policy at /security/responsible-disclosure. Discovery metadata at /.well-known/security.txt.

What a real MSSP does differently

Most managed security providers send alerts. Our MDR service contains threats inside the window where they can still be stopped. Pre-authorized containment actions (host isolation, account disable, token revocation) run in minutes based on an IR policy you sign at onboarding. That separates a real SOC from a ticket queue.

The full stack, not just endpoint

We correlate signals across endpoint (EDR), network (NDR), identity (ITDR), cloud (CSPM and CNAPP), and SaaS. Managed SIEM on Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic, or QRadar provides the correlation layer, with detection content mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and tuned quarterly. Our SOC-as-a-Service engagements adapt detection content per vertical.

Compliance built into the operation

Every control we operate is mapped to the frameworks that matter for our clients' compliance posture in 2026: NIST Cybersecurity Framework, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI-DSS v4.0.1, CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, and industry-specific regimes like FFIEC, NYDFS 500, and CMMC 2.0. Our Virtual CISO practice provides signing authority and board-ready reporting.

Our security service portfolio

SOC as a Service

Certified analysts watch your environment 24/7. When something fires, a human triages and contains it. We don't just log it for later review.

24/7 coverage

Managed SIEM

We run Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic, or QRadar depending on what fits your stack. Detection content is tuned to your environment, not the generic rules most shops ship with.

Custom detection content

Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

EDR, XDR, SOAR, and our 24/7 SOC working as one service. Pre-authorized containment means we can isolate a compromised host at 3 AM without waiting on a conference call.

Pre-authorized containment

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

A senior security leader for companies that need executive-level guidance but aren't ready to hire a full-time CISO. We cover strategy, compliance, board reporting, and the leadership role during a real incident.

Fractional or interim

Zero Trust Architecture

Identity-first access, microsegmentation, and continuous validation aligned to NIST SP 800-207 and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model. The architecture compliance frameworks now assume you operate.

NIST SP 800-207

Incident Response & Retainer

NIST SP 800-61 lifecycle, pre-authorized containment, on-site response within 24 hours, forensic preservation, and breach notification coordination. When it hits, we're already engaged.

24h on-site SLA

Data Protection & Classification

DLP, encryption, and classification for data at rest, in transit, or being processed in memory. Coverage tuned to your regulatory obligations.

Full regulatory compliance

Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW/AWAF)

Deep packet inspection, application-aware filtering, and active defense against zero-day exploits. The perimeter layer that stops most breach attempts.

Zero-day protection

Identity & Access Management

SSO, MFA, PAM, and identity governance workflows that hold up at audit. Every user and every device verified at every session.

Zero Trust ready

Mobile Device Management

BYOD policies, remote wipe for missing devices, app management, and compliance enforcement. Works across iOS, Android, and Windows.

All platforms supported

Encryption & HSM

Hardware Security Modules, key management, and certificate lifecycle handling for companies at scale. FIPS 140-2 cryptography with throughput that keeps up with production apps.

FIPS 140-2 compliant

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Fast recovery, DR tests we run (not just document), and RTOs we put in writing. When a system goes down, it comes back inside the window we contracted to.

Tested DR โ€” RTO per SLA

Vulnerability Management

Continuous scanning and risk-prioritized patching. We close the vulnerabilities that matter. We don't ship 400-page reports that sit in a SharePoint folder.

Continuous scanning

DDoS Protection

Multi-layer mitigation for network, application, and DNS attack vectors. Automatic response with near-zero latency impact during an active attack.

Multi-layer defense

Network Security

Segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAC, and secure SD-WAN built to how your business operates. You see what's on the network. You control what it can reach.

End-to-end visibility

Compliance Management

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST CSF run as ongoing programs. Not a once-a-year fire drill. Automated evidence collection and remediation workflows keep you audit-ready.

All major frameworks

Frequently Asked Questions

What does EFROS 24/7 SOC monitoring include?

Continuous threat monitoring, detection, and live incident response from certified analysts. Our SIEM correlates events across client environments and feeds detection content tuned per environment. MTTD/MTTC and event-volume figures are shared during vendor review, backed by audit evidence.

What compliance frameworks does EFROS support?

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 Type I and II, GDPR, and NIST CSF. We run these as ongoing programs with automated evidence collection. Not annual fire drills before the audit date.

How does EFROS implement zero trust security?

We start with identity. That's where most attacks succeed. MFA, SSO, and PAM as the foundation. From there we layer micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and dynamic access policies that adapt to risk signals. Every user and every device proves it belongs on every request, regardless of location.

What is the difference between MSP and MSSP services?

MSP covers IT operations: monitoring, cloud, networking, help desk. MSSP covers security: SOC, threat detection, incident response, compliance. Most shops do one or the other. We do both under a single contract. That matters when an incident requires the IT team and the security team to move in sync.
