Our Managed Security & Reporting Services

QCM offers monthly Managed Security and Reporting Services to help small and medium-sized businesses with their IT Security and Compliance. Many SMB businesses do not have the available staff or the ability to continually manage and secure their IT infrastructure that protects their company and their customer’s valuable data. Few have policies in place to respond to a data breach. Left unprotected or ill-protected, a small business can be held liable for stored customer data affected by a breach.

Most standard cybersecurity companies offer standard protection such as Firewall, Anti-virus, Patching, and Spam Filtering that cover standard external threats, but in actuality, most security issues stem from internal threats.

Why Security Matters to Businesses Like Yours

Can You Afford these Numbers?

• Eighty-one (81) percent of small businesses reported suffering a security breach, a data breach or both in the past year. AI-powered attacks were identified as a root cause in more than 40 percent of cyber events, a pivot from internal risks to external, technologically advanced adversaries.
• Among breached small businesses, 62.5 percent reported a total financial impact—including lost revenue, remediation costs and fines—of more than $250,000 in 2025. Within that group, more than a third of all victims (36.7 percent) faced costs exceeding $500,000, an increase from 2024.

Recommended Best Practices by the NIST Cybersecurity [CSF] Framework

The Cybersecurity Framework

The core functions in the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) — GOVERN, IDENTIFY, PROTECT, DETECT, RESPOND, and RECOVER — were selected by NIST because they represent the primary pillars for a successful and holistic cybersecurity program. They aid organizations in easily expressing their management of cybersecurity risk at a high level and enabling risk management decisions.

How Our Managed Security & Reporting Services Work

First, you’ll get to decide from our 3 levels of Security Reporting Services (Silver, Gold Platinum), which will determine your initial assessment and monthly services thereafter. Next, we’ll perform an assessment of your current security system at the level you decide upon. Our evaluation includes an external vulnerability scan, which addresses the major weaknesses faced by small businesses. After your assessment, we’ll show you the relative risks of what we discovered, and exactly what needs to be addressed. Next, we’ll use the NIST CSF measures to build and provide you with a recommended management plan that includes ongoing services to protect your business.

Most malware aimed at smaller businesses is focused on data theft, with password stealers, keyboard loggers, and other spyware accounting for nearly half of detected malware. The Sophos 2025 Threat Report covers these and other malware distribution mechanisms now in use, which range from phishing to malvertising and SEO poisoning. It also identifies the most common vulnerabilities attackers exploit and how the threat landscape is changing. It also states that ransomware remains the biggest threat, but old and misconfigured network devices are making it too easy for cyberthieves and hackers.

The report is based on the research and real-world experiences of Sophos’ threat, incident response and AI experts, and covers:

• The top cybersecurity challenges
• Latest social engineering tricks
• Dual-use tools
