What is a managed security services provider (MSSP)?

A managed security services provider, or MSSP, is a company that monitors and manages your cybersecurity for you, from threat detection and response to compliance. bdManagedIT is an MSSP for North Georgia businesses, pairing continuous security monitoring with local, named support instead of a faceless call center.

What cybersecurity services does bdManagedIT provide?

Our security program includes endpoint detection and response, application control through ThreatLocker, email filtering, multi-factor authentication, risk assessments, and security awareness training through Security Awareness Training. Most clients start with Advanced Security and add layers based on their industry requirements.

Do you help businesses meet HIPAA requirements?

Yes. We work with healthcare practices, billing companies, and other covered entities to assess current controls, close identified gaps, and maintain the documentation HIPAA requires. We do not just check a box. We build a program that holds up if your organization is ever audited.

Why is multi-factor authentication important for small businesses?

Over 80 percent of successful account breaches involve stolen or weak passwords. Managed MFA requires a second factor for every login so that a compromised password alone is not enough for an attacker to get in. It is one of the highest-value security controls available at the lowest cost.

What is vendor management in the context of IT security?

Vendor management means reviewing and monitoring the third parties that have access to your systems or data. We help you identify vendor risk, ensure appropriate agreements are in place, and verify that your vendors maintain the same security standards you do. This is required under HIPAA and recommended for PCI-DSS compliance.

How does security awareness training reduce real risk?

Most successful cyberattacks begin with a human mistake, most often clicking a phishing email. Security awareness training prepares your staff through simulated phishing campaigns, short video lessons, and regular reminders so that your people become part of your defense rather than the weakest link.

What is included in managed security services?

Managed security services bundle the protection a business needs into one managed program: endpoint detection and response, managed SOC monitoring, email security, multi-factor authentication, vulnerability management, security awareness training, and compliance support, all monitored and maintained for a flat monthly fee.

Book your first appointment Take the security assessment

Cyber threats and compliance obligations are the two biggest IT risks facing small and mid-sized businesses in Georgia right now. As a managed security services provider (MSSP), bdManagedIT addresses both through a layered program built on real products: Advanced Security for cyber protection, Managed IT for managed detection and SOC monitoring, Managed Email Security for email security, and Managed MFA for multi-factor authentication. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner and ThreatLocker Gold Partner, we back these services with the vendor relationships that matter.

What's included

Managed cybersecurity

Advanced Security combines endpoint detection, threat response, and application control through ThreatLocker to stop attacks before they reach your data.

Email security

Managed Email Security filters phishing attempts, malicious attachments, and spoofed senders at the email gateway, protecting the channel most attackers use first.

Multi-factor authentication

Managed MFA adds a required second factor to every login, making stolen passwords alone insufficient to access your systems or cloud accounts.

HIPAA and IT compliance management

We document your controls, identify gaps, and build the policies and processes required to meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CJIS, and other regulatory frameworks.

What you get

Reduced risk of ransomware and data breaches

Layered controls including application allowlisting, email filtering, and endpoint detection stop most attacks before any data is exfiltrated or encrypted.

Audit-ready compliance documentation

We maintain the written policies, risk assessments, and control evidence that regulators and cyber insurance carriers ask for during audits or claims.

Lower cyber insurance premiums

Carriers reward businesses that can demonstrate MFA, endpoint protection, and documented backup procedures with better coverage terms and lower rates.

A workforce that recognizes threats

Security awareness training gives your staff the skills to spot phishing, social engineering, and suspicious activity before they click.
