Security for SMB
Serious cyber protection.
Built for small business.
For businesses with fewer than 50 users, cyber security is often handled internally alongside everything else, or left to an IT provider focused on keeping systems running - not investigating threats, responding to attacks or helping recover from an incident.
Security for SMB brings protection, response and recovery together in one simple managed service.
We protect the devices and identities your business relies on, investigate suspicious activity and maintain an independent cloud backup capability so important business information can be recovered when needed.
Protection. Response. Recovery. Managed for you.

Why Security for SMB?
Small business shouldn't mean small security.
Small businesses are facing many of the same cyber threats as much larger organisations.
Ransomware, credential theft, compromised accounts, malicious applications and business email compromise do not discriminate based on company size.
The difference is that most small businesses do not have an internal security operations team watching what is happening.
There is a clear gap between basic IT support and a dedicated enterprise cyber security capability.
Security for SMB was built specifically to fill that gap.
Security without building a security team
Get a managed cyber security capability without hiring dedicated internal security staff or building a complex security function.
Protect devices and identities
Modern attacks target both the computer and the person using it.
Protection needs to extend across endpoints, user accounts and identities.
Someone actually investigates
Security alerts should not simply become another task for your team.
Suspicious activity is investigated and validated to determine what actually needs action.
Respond when something happens
When malicious or suspicious activity requires action, experienced cyber security professionals are available to help investigate, contain and escalate the issue.
Have a recovery path
Security incidents cannot always be prevented.
Independent cloud backup provides another recovery option if important information is lost, deleted, altered or compromised.
One managed service
Protect the business.
Have a recovery avenue.
Have someone to call.
Modern attacks target both devices and identities.
Security for SMB combines continuous protection, investigation and response with experienced people who understand how attackers operate and what needs to happen next.
01 / Protection
Someone is watching when you aren't.
Continuous protection across supported devices and identities helps identify suspicious and malicious activity before it becomes a larger business problem.
- Ransomware and malware
- Suspicious applications and activity
- Persistent attacker access
- Compromised accounts
- Suspicious login activity
- Business email compromise
- Credential-based attacks
Suspicious activity is investigated, validated and acted on - not simply passed to you as another alert.
02 / Response
Action over noise and alerts.
When something requires action, our senior team investigates and responds.
- 24/7 monitoring of managed capabilities
- Threat investigation and validation
- Endpoint and identity response
- Containment assistance
- Incident escalation
- Practical remediation guidance
- Ongoing security advice
We investigate the noise and focus on what actually matters.
03 / Recovery
Protection isn't complete if you can't recover.
Files get deleted.
Accounts are compromised.
Information is overwritten.
Ransomware happens.
Security for SMB includes an independent backup and recovery capability for supported cloud services, giving your business another option when important information needs to be recovered.
Recover what matters.
Modern business. Modern attack surface.
Cyber attacks don't always look like cyber attacks.
An attacker does not necessarily need to deploy malware to create a serious security incident.
They may use:
- A stolen password
- A compromised user account
- A legitimate remote access tool
- An authorised cloud application
- A malicious browser session
- A newly introduced application
- An insecure integration
- Credentials exposed somewhere outside your environment
To traditional IT systems, some of this activity can look legitimate.
That is why security needs more than another piece of software.
It requires monitoring, investigation and people who understand how attackers operate.
- Device
- Identity
- Cloud access
- Business data
- Business impact
Different entry points.
One security capability.
Businesses are moving faster
Technology is getting easier to deploy.
Security still needs to keep up.
Small businesses can now adopt new applications, cloud services, integrations, automation and AI-assisted development faster than ever before.
That creates enormous opportunity.
It can also create security gaps very quickly.
Something developed or deployed in days can introduce:
- New internet-facing services
- New identities and credentials
- New integrations
- New third-party dependencies
- New application permissions
- New access to sensitive business information
Security for SMB provides another layer around that changing environment - helping identify suspicious activity when something does not behave as expected.
Move quickly. But know someone is watching the security side as well.
Local people. Senior experience.
Senior humans, not alerts without context.
When something happens, the people supporting your business matter.
Tarian is Brisbane-based and Security for SMB is delivered by our local team of experienced senior cyber security professionals.
There are no offshore security operations and no layers of junior analysts between you and the people investigating your environment.

One team responsible for the service
Protection, investigation, response and recovery work together.
No security platforms for you to manage.
No endless alerts for you to interpret.
No need to become the cyber security expert.
That's our job.
Independent recovery
Protection isn't complete if you can't recover.
Even with strong security controls in place, incidents still happen.
Information can be deleted accidentally.
Accounts can be compromised.
Files can be overwritten.
Ransomware can encrypt or damage information.
Security for SMB includes managed backup and recovery capability so important business information has another recovery path.
01 / Protect
Protect your business data.
Maintain an independent backup capability for supported cloud services your business relies on every day.
For supported Microsoft 365 environments this can include:
- Exchange Online email
- OneDrive
- SharePoint Online
- Microsoft Teams
- Microsoft 365 Groups
- Other supported workloads
02 / Recover
Recover what matters.
Not every incident requires restoring an entire environment.
Recovery can target specific information when required.
Examples:
- Accidentally deleted emails
- Deleted or overwritten files
- Earlier versions of documents
- Cloud-stored business data
- Collaboration content
- Information affected during a cyber incident
03 / Manage

Designed to work alongside IT
Your IT provider keeps technology running.
Tarian focuses on cyber security.
Security for SMB is not designed to unnecessarily replace your existing IT provider.
Your IT provider may already manage your devices, networking, applications and day-to-day technology support.
Tarian adds the specialist cyber security capability around that environment.
When suspicious activity occurs, we can work with your internal team and existing IT provider to understand what has happened, what is at risk and what needs to happen next.

Common questions
Straight answers.
Is Security for SMB just antivirus?
No.
Security technology forms part of the service, but Security for SMB is a managed cyber security capability.
Tarian monitors, investigates and responds to suspicious activity rather than simply providing software and leaving your team to manage it.
Does Security for SMB replace our IT provider?
No.
The service is designed to work alongside your existing IT provider or internal IT resources.
Your IT provider can continue looking after day-to-day technology while Tarian provides specialist cyber security capability.
Do we need to monitor security alerts ourselves?
No.
The purpose of the service is to remove that burden from your team.
Suspicious activity is investigated and validated so you are not simply receiving another stream of security alerts.
What happens if suspicious activity is detected?
Our team investigates the activity.
Where action is required, this can include endpoint or identity response, containment assistance, incident escalation and practical remediation guidance.
Why is backup included?
Because cyber resilience is not only about preventing incidents.
If information is deleted, altered, encrypted or otherwise impacted, an independent backup capability provides another recovery path.
Who manages the service?
Security for SMB is delivered by Tarian's Brisbane-based cyber security team.
You have access to experienced cyber security professionals rather than offshore security operations or multiple layers of junior analysts.
Is this specifically designed for small business?
Yes.
Security for SMB has been built for businesses with fewer than 50 users that need serious cyber security capability without building an internal security team.
