We provide managed security services for small businesses — assessing your current security posture and delivering a clear roadmap to a reasonable, insurable standard. Backed by 20+ years of real-world IT security consulting experience.
Lockdown CyberSecurity delivers cybersecurity services built for small businesses that need enterprise-grade protection without an enterprise price tag. Founded in 2024 by David Howard, a 20+ year IT and security veteran — and 100% veteran-owned — with experience spanning Fortune 100, Fortune 500, small business, and the US Military. No company is ever fully hacker-proof. But there are reasonable steps that make hackers think twice and insurance carriers pay claims.
Do you have cyber insurance? Carriers are happy to sell you a policy — and equally happy to deny a claim if you didn't meet their standards. We make sure you qualify and stay qualified.
"Dave became my go-to guy when my Twitter/X account was hacked. He quickly investigated, took immediate action, re-secured my account. He's diligent. He's thorough. I trust him. I highly recommend him."
— Lance McAlister, Local Radio Host & CelebrityOur flagship Security Lockdown suite delivers managed security services covering every layer of your business: AI-powered EDR endpoint protection, dark web monitoring, email spoofing defense, and 24/7 threat response — the same tools used by Fortune 500 companies, sized for small business.
AI-powered endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR) that automatically identifies and stops threats before they cause damage. Required by most cyber insurance carriers — we handle setup, management, and 24/7 monitoring.
Continuous dark web monitoring service that scans underground markets for your compromised employee credentials. Get alerted the moment your business data appears — before attackers use it to breach your systems.
MFA is the #1 control cyber insurance carriers require. We audit your MFA gaps, enforce policy across every account and device, and document compliance for your carrier — keeping your policy valid and claims payable.
We map everything your business exposes to the internet — open ports, outdated services, misconfigured systems — and reduce your attack surface before hackers find it. Included in every IT security consulting engagement.
Configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records prevent email spoofing and account takeover — critical for business credibility.
Monitor Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive for excessive or outdated permissions. Least-privilege, enforced automatically.
When something does happen, instantly isolate and quarantine infected devices to minimize the blast radius across your network.
Instant, one-click fixes for discovered issues. No waiting for a technician — threats are neutralized the moment they're found.
Carriers deny claims when you haven't met their security requirements. We assess your environment against insurance standards, remediate every gap, and provide the documentation your carrier needs — so you're covered when you need it most.
Our security team works even when you're not — around the clock, every day of the year. Full protection available for businesses and home-based users alike. Must be a business email not Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.
Login and see exactly what we see — real-time threat status, actions taken on your behalf, and your full security posture at a glance, anytime.
Real-world phishing simulations sent to you and your employees to test — and build — human defenses. Includes guided training modules so your team learns to spot and stop attacks before they happen.
Plain answers about cybersecurity services for small business.
See our Security Lockdown Suite above, and know there is more that we can offer that is usually reserved for the big companies with large IT departments. We don't replace your IT, we augment with highly specialized and trained Security teams.
We audit your environment against carrier requirements, remediate every gap (EDR, MFA, backups, etc.), and provide documentation proving compliance — so your policy stays valid and claims can't be denied. We take an approach of securing your environment, along with proactive prevention. We are able to generate reports to show your business maturity with cybersecurity Frameworks such as NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO27001 and 27002, SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, FISMA and others.
Dark web monitoring continuously scans criminal forums for your leaked business credentials. If compromised passwords are found, you're alerted immediately — before attackers use them. Any business using company email should have this protection. Dark Web Monitoring allows us to scan various sites within the dark web that may have compromised one of your users or computers. Typically, hackers are able to download user login and password information that can be used to form a larger hack against your company.
We serve businesses across the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe at the present time. Future growth expected in 2027!
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) along with XDR (Extended Detection & Response) is AI-powered security software installed on every business device. Unlike traditional antivirus, EDR/XDR detects unusual behavior — like ransomware encrypting files — and automatically isolates infected devices before damage spreads. Most cyber insurance policies now require it.
