Phishing emails, ransomware and stolen passwords don’t only target big companies. Small and medium businesses are often easier targets because they lack dedicated security staff.
Reality Bytes builds layers of protection around your people, devices and data, and keeps them maintained. We offer firewall management, intrusion detection and regular security audits to safeguard your data and help you meet your compliance obligations.
How Cybersecurity helps you
Save me time
We manage the firewalls, alerts and updates, so security isn’t another job on your list.
Spend wisely
Protection focused on your real risks. Preventing an incident costs far less than recovering from one.
Keep me safe
Layered defences, MFA, staff training, audits and backups working together.
Help me grow
Meet client and insurer security expectations with confidence as you take on bigger work.
Six layers, one team
No single product stops every attack. Real protection comes from layers that back each other up, managed by people who watch them every day.
If a phishing email gets past the filter, training helps your staff spot it. If a password is stolen, MFA stops the sign-in. If malware runs, endpoint protection blocks it. And if everything else fails, tested backups bring your data back. We manage every layer, so nothing falls between vendors.
Inside your security
What we watch, check and fix for every organization we protect.
Every computer protected, every threat seen
Managed Bitdefender protection on every computer and server. New computers are paired with protection seconds after they join, and detections reach our team the moment they happen.
- Malware, ransomware and malicious websites blocked
- Our team is alerted instantly and follows up
- You can see the threats we caught in your client portal

A stolen password shouldn’t be enough
Most breaches start with a stolen or guessed password. We set up multi-factor authentication and Microsoft 365 Conditional Access policies, and flag accounts that should no longer have access.
- MFA coverage tracked for every user
- Old sign-in methods that can’t do MFA are blocked
- Leftover and unused accounts flagged for clean-up

Security basics, on every computer, every day
BitLocker encryption, firewall, antivirus, Defender signatures, TPM and Secure Boot are checked continuously on every managed computer. When something is off, it is flagged and fixed.
- Encrypted drives protect data on lost or stolen laptops
- Gaps raise an alert and a ticket automatically
- Proof of protection for clients and insurers
