OST Managed Security

Serious security. One monthly number. Insurance savings built in.

If ransomware started encrypting your file server at 2 a.m. on a Saturday, what happens next? OST Managed Security is a complete, NIST-aligned security stack — identity, endpoint, email, firewall, backup, training, and 24/7 detection and response — delivered as one managed service. And because the stack satisfies cyber-insurance underwriting baselines, it can qualify your business for premium savings of up to 30% through our insurance partner program. Your security plan, partially paying for itself.

THE OFFERING

Two tiers. One standard of care.

01

Secure Business

Complete managed security aligned to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, built for commercial businesses under 150 employees — construction, medical, banking, professional services. Identity and device management, managed endpoint detection with a 24/7 security operations center, email protection against phishing and business email compromise, managed firewall, backup and disaster recovery, security awareness training, vulnerability scanning, and password management — one stack, one invoice, one throat to choke (ours).

02

Secure Business Gov

Everything in Secure Business, extended to the NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC Level 2 track for defense contractors, federal subcontractors, and any business handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Adds centralized audit logging (SIEM), government cloud tenancy, FIPS-mode encryption with hardened device baselines, and the System Security Plan and POA&M documentation assessors expect.

Build on vendors we'd stake our name on- because we do

The core is Microsoft 365 Business Premium and CheckPoint's security platform - the identity layer your business already runs, and the security vendor OST has partnered with for years - surrounded by a deliberately small set of best-in-class tools for backup, awareness training, vulnerability assessment, and password management.  Detection and response runs 24/7 through a vendor-operated security operations center, so threats get answered at 2am.  Every one of the six NIST CSF functions - Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover - has at least two tools behind it.  NO single point of security failure, no Frankenstein of forty agents.

 Insurers now demand MFA, endpoint detection, verified backups, and network monitoring before they'll write a policy at a good rate. Our stack satisfies those underwriting baselines by design — which is why proposals come with an insurance savings estimate next to the security fee.

You'll see it working every quarter

Managed security you can't see is just a line item. Every OST Managed Security client gets a quarterly business review with four artifacts: your NIST assessment report, your team's phishing-simulation trend, a summary of what the 24/7 SOC detected and resolved, and backup verification results. Continuous evidence, in plain English — the same evidence your insurer, your auditor, or your board will eventually ask for.

 

AI and emerging threats

The threat landscape isn't static.  Neither are we.

  •  AI has changed both sides of the security equation. Phishing emails are now written fluently and personally, deepfake voice calls impersonate executives, and attacks run at machine speed — while defenses have gotten smarter in response. A security stack assembled five years ago wasn't built for this fight. 
  •  It's why our stack leans on vendor-operated, continuously updated detection rather than yesterday's signatures, why security awareness training in our managed offering evolves with the actual threats your team receives, and why we host regular in-person events on exactly these topics with partners like Check Point (see our Events page) 
  •  It's also why we look further ahead than most: quantum computing will eventually break the encryption protecting today's data — and information stolen now can be decrypted then. If your business keeps records that must stay confidential for years, that's a today-problem. Prepare for Q-Day →

A security assessment takes about an hour and comes back with a prioritized list in plain English — including whether your current posture would pass a cyber-insurance application.
