What managed cybersecurity services include

Every Fusion managed IT plan includes baseline security. Managed cybersecurity goes further: round-the-clock monitoring, active threat response, compliance documentation, and a programme your team can stand behind.

24/7 MDR and EDR Monitoring

Huntress and SentinelOne XDR run on every endpoint. A real analyst reviews each alert before it reaches you. No noise to sort through. Odd behaviour gets caught and stopped fast.

Email Security and Phishing Protection

Most breaches start with an email. We block phishing, spoofing, and fake links with DMARC, DKIM, and SPF plus real-time scanning. Email security is part of every engagement.

Identity and Access Management

Multi-factor authentication on every account. Conditional Access for Microsoft 365. KeeperSec for password and secrets management. When someone leaves, their access dies that day. No orphaned accounts sitting open.

Network Security

Fortinet firewalls, network monitoring, and DNS filtering that blocks bad domains before they reach your team. VPN, remote access, and cloud security for Azure and M365. Reviewed at onboarding and again each quarter.

Vulnerability Management and Pen Testing

Regular scanning inside and out. Findings ranked by what an attacker could actually use, then fixed and verified. Maps to CIS Controls v8.1, NIST CSF, and CyberSecure Canada. Standalone or as step one of a managed programme.

Incident Response

When something goes wrong, you need a plan that already exists. Our incident response services spell out who does what, how fast, and what gets escalated. After an incident, we run forensics, find the root cause, and close the gap. See it in action: ransomware recovery case study.

Compliance and Reporting

We map your controls to CIS Controls v8.1, NIST CSF, CyberSecure Canada, SOC 2, PIPEDA, and PHIPA. Monthly security reporting covers what changed, what we fixed, and what’s next. With Bill C-26 adding new rules, being ready now saves you later.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Immutable and air-gapped backup infrastructure with documented recovery procedures and periodic restore testing. When ransomware hits, the question isn’t if you have backups. It’s how fast they restore and whether the attacker can reach them.

How managed cybersecurity works

According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach in Canada reached CA$6.98 million. For businesses under 500 employees, a single incident can threaten survival. According to CIRA’s 2025 Canadian Cybersecurity Survey, 24% of Canadian organisations were ransomware victims in the past 12 months.

We don’t sell prevention. We run detection and response. Tools catch patterns. People make the call.

Detection Over Prevention

We don’t promise prevention. We run 24/7 detection and response, pairing AI-driven alerts with human analysts who make the call.

“The assessment found an admin account with domain-level rights that hadn’t been used in four years but was still active. One phishing email away from a full breach. We never would have caught that on our own.”

What managed cybersecurity costs

For a typical Canadian business with 25 to 100 users, managed cybersecurity services range from $30 to $80 per user per month on top of managed IT. Total per-user costs including IT and security typically fall in the $180 to $200+ range. What you pay depends on team size, setup complexity, and compliance needs.

“I’ve done post-incident reviews for six companies this year alone where the breach started with a compromised vendor credential. Not a zero-day, not a sophisticated attack. A vendor whose password hadn’t been rotated in three years. That’s what we fix first.”

Mike Pearlstein, CISSP, CEO of Fusion Computing

Common questions about managed cybersecurity

Answers from our CISSP-certified security team. Need more detail? Book a free assessment and we’ll walk through your specific situation.

What’s the difference between managed IT security and managed cybersecurity?
Managed IT security is baseline: endpoint protection, patching, MFA, and backup checks built into managed IT. Managed cybersecurity adds 24/7 SOC monitoring, EDR/MDR, vulnerability scanning, training, written policies, and incident response planning. Think of IT security as a lock on every door. Managed cybersecurity’s the alarm system, response plan, and ongoing audit of whether those locks still work.
What cybersecurity framework does Fusion align to?
We align to CIS Controls v8.1, a set of defensive actions from the Center for Internet Security. CIS Controls map to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CyberSecure Canada, giving clients a documented baseline for insurance audits, vendor questionnaires, and compliance evidence.
How much do managed cybersecurity services cost in Canada?
For a typical Canadian business with 25 to 100 users, managed cybersecurity adds $30 to $80 per user per month on top of managed IT. This covers tooling, monitoring, policy documentation, training, and reporting. The first step’s a free cybersecurity assessment that maps your current posture and identifies gaps so pricing reflects your actual environment.
What happens if my business is breached?
It starts with containment: isolating systems, revoking credentials, and stopping lateral movement. Then we run forensics, identify the attack vector, recover data from verified backups, and fix the root cause. You get documented reporting for your leadership team, insurer, and regulators.
Why choose an MSSP over building an in-house security team?
An MSSP typically costs 50 to 70% less than building an internal SOC for teams of 10 to 150. One security hire can’t cover 24/7 monitoring, EDR/MDR, pen tests, and compliance docs at the same time. Fusion gives you a full team, tested playbooks, and coverage from day one.
Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?
Yes. Canadian insurers now require documented controls before issuing or renewing policies. We implement and document what they ask for: MFA, EDR, backup verification, incident response planning, training, and privileged access management.

I want to give a shout out to Fusion Computing Limited. They have looked after Idea Factor's Managed Services here in Burlington for 3 + years providing us with excellent in-office and at home IT Support when we need it. Their techs are fabulous and always assist in a timely manner. When the Pandemic struck and we were forced to work from home, Fusion was able to get us up and running quickly. They have worked with us to put an IT Strategy in place that both ensures that our network is secure and guarantees business continuity in any scenario. They have come up with IT Solutions that make our workflow more efficient and cost effective. Kudos to the Fusion Computing IT Team!
