Cost depends on the number of users and devices, the service level, and whether the business already has internal IT.

A managed security service provider (MSSP) focuses on security monitoring, threat detection and response. MIS Solutions is an MSP that delivers cybersecurity as part of managed IT, so the team that monitors threats also knows the systems it is protecting. A business that needs only penetration testing or a standalone security operations center may be better served by a dedicated security firm.

Monitoring runs around the clock, and automated alerts reach the security team as they occur. Critical alerts carry a first-response target of 2 hours under the service agreement. The incident response team then handles containment and recovery. If data is affected, backup and disaster recovery services support restoration.
