6-Step Methodology • 24/7 SOC • Zero Major Incidents

Cybersecurity Services
for Massachusetts Small Business

Enterprise-grade cybersecurity designed for the budgets and realities of small and mid-size businesses. Our 6-step security methodology has delivered zero major incidents across our entire client base.

Cybersecurity Built on a Proven 6-Step Methodology

Small businesses in New Bedford, the South Shore, and across Cape Cod are not too small to be targeted — they are targeted because attackers know they are typically under-protected. A phishing email, a compromised credential, or a single unpatched system is all it takes to bring operations to a halt.

ArchiTECH's cybersecurity practice is structured around our proven 6-step methodology: Assess, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. This isn't a checkbox exercise — it's a living framework that we apply to every client before and throughout our engagement. Combined with U.S. Navy veteran experience and mission-critical public sector IT discipline, we bring a level of rigor that most SMB-focused MSPs simply don't have.

Cybersecurity threat monitoring and response

Cybersecurity Services We Deliver

Threat Detection & EDR/MDR

Every managed endpoint is protected by enterprise-grade EDR with 24/7 SOC-backed managed detection and response. Our analysts actively triage alerts so threats don't sit unreviewed. When something looks wrong at 2 a.m., we're already on it.

Security Awareness Training

Your employees are your first line of defense — or your biggest vulnerability. Our ongoing training program teaches staff to recognize phishing, social engineering, and credential theft tactics. Training is role-based, engaging, and tracked for compliance reporting.

Security awareness training and phishing simulation
Phishing Simulations

We send safe, realistic phishing tests to your staff and track who clicks, who reports, and who needs more training. Results feed directly into your security awareness program. Businesses in Providence, Fall River, and Quincy consistently improve click rates by 60–80% within six months.

Email security and phishing protection
Incident Response

When the worst happens, you need a team with a plan. Our structured incident response playbook covers containment, forensic investigation, eradication, recovery, and post-incident reporting. We also conduct proactive tabletop exercises so your leadership team is rehearsed before an incident ever occurs.

Incident response — detect, contain, recover
Penetration Testing

We simulate real-world attacks against your network, applications, and users to find vulnerabilities before adversaries do. Penetration testing engagements include a full written report with risk ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, and a remediation roadmap. Available for HIPAA, PCI, and CMMC compliance requirements.

Dark Web Monitoring

Compromised credentials are sold on dark web markets within hours of a breach — often before the victim even knows they were targeted. We continuously monitor breach databases and dark web forums for your domain, email addresses, and employee credentials, alerting you immediately when your data appears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our 6-step methodology covers: (1) Assess — full environment baseline and risk scoring; (2) Identify — asset discovery and vulnerability mapping; (3) Protect — MFA, EDR, DNS filtering, and access controls; (4) Detect — 24/7 SOC-backed monitoring and alerting; (5) Respond — incident triage, containment, and remediation; (6) Recover — backup validation, documentation, and post-incident review. Every client engagement starts at step one before we manage a single device.
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is the technology platform that monitors endpoints for malicious behavior and enables automated responses. MDR (Managed Detection and Response) adds a human layer — our security analysts actively monitor EDR alerts 24/7, investigate anomalies, and take action on your behalf. ArchiTECH provides MDR-level coverage backed by a 24/7 SOC so threats don't sit unreviewed overnight.
Over 90% of successful cyberattacks start with a human mistake — a clicked phishing link, a reused password, or a spoofed email. Small businesses in New Bedford, the South Shore, and Cape Cod are targeted precisely because attackers expect weaker defenses. Our security awareness training combined with simulated phishing campaigns transforms your staff from the biggest vulnerability into an active line of defense.
When an incident is detected, our response team moves through a structured playbook: (1) Immediate containment to isolate affected systems; (2) Forensic investigation to determine scope and root cause; (3) Eradication of the threat; (4) Recovery and restoration from clean backups; (5) Post-incident report with timeline and remediation recommendations. We also conduct proactive tabletop exercises so your leadership team is never caught off guard.

Don't Wait for a Breach to Take Cybersecurity Seriously

The average cost of a data breach for a small business exceeds $200,000. A free security assessment takes 30 minutes and gives you a clear picture of where you stand — and what to do next.
