Managed security · Guernsey-based · Worldwide reach
Your business, protected around the clock.
Guardian looks after your Microsoft 365, your devices and your data. A security team watches day and night, deals with what it finds and tells you what happened. Add remote IT support if you need it, and get a clear report every month, all for one fixed monthly fee per person.
Built for businesses without their own IT or security team
All 9 security controls in your plan are in place, the same as August. Two things need a quick answer from you; everything else is in hand.

What we take off your plate
The things that go wrong, handled.
Most attacks on small businesses start with an email or a stolen password. Here is what Guardian does about the problems we see most.
Someone has your Microsoft 365 password.
We watch every sign-in. If an account is used from somewhere it shouldn’t be, we lock it down and investigate straight away.
Every planA convincing email lands in the inbox.
Every message is checked for phishing, malware and impersonation before your team sees it. Staff get regular training and realistic tests.
Every planCriminals send invoices that look like yours.
We lock down who can send email as your business and report every attempt to impersonate you, every month.
Basic and aboveRansomware reaches a laptop.
Device protection spots the attack, isolates the machine and reverses the damage, with our team responding 24/7.
Pro and UltimateFiles are deleted or encrypted.
Your Microsoft 365 email and files are backed up independently, so we can restore what you need.
Basic and aboveThere’s no one to call when IT goes wrong.
Our remote support team becomes your IT department: people who already know your setup and your security.
Ultimate, or add to any planHow Guardian works
Protected, watched, and reported on.
Protect
We put protection in place across your accounts, email, data and devices, aligned with recognised standards.
Watch
Our security operations centre monitors your accounts and devices 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Respond
When something looks wrong, an analyst investigates and acts: locking an account, isolating a device, removing an email.
Report
You hear from us straight away when something needs you, and get a monthly report on what we did and where you stand.
Reporting & alerting
See exactly what you’re paying for.
Security you can’t see is hard to trust. Every month you get a no-nonsense, plain-English report that shows what you’re paying for, and between reports we alert you whenever something needs your attention.
- Controls in place, devices up to date, backups and email checks, with last month alongside
- Threats stopped across email, accounts and devices
- Email domain protection: who sent email as you, and what we blocked
- People: training progress and phishing test results
- Clear actions for you, in priority order
Email domain protectionNeeds you
One service you may not know about is sending email as you.

Cyber Essentials
Get certified, with an assured pass.
We get you ready, an independent assessor checks the work, and we stay with you until you pass. We don’t mark our own homework.
How it works →Standards & regulation
Aligned with CIS, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001.
For Guernsey licensees, we show how Guardian supports the GFSC Cyber Security Rules and gives your board the evidence it needs.
Compliance →Servers on site?
Exposure management for hybrid estates.
Continuous discovery and prioritisation of weaknesses across on-premises servers, desktops and the cloud, so the riskiest gaps are closed first.
Exposure management →AI security & readiness · with Ray Security
Ready for AI, without the data leaks.
Staff are already using AI tools, and copilots and AI agents can reach more company data than most businesses realise. In partnership with Ray Security, we find every AI tool touching your data, remove access it doesn’t need and watch for misuse, and we give your team a clear AI usage policy and practical guidance.
