# Barsec, full plain-text content Barsec, LLC is a managed cybersecurity company for small and growing businesses.

Free security assessment: https://barsec.tech/contact?topic=assessment --- ## Page: Managed Security (https://barsec.tech/) Managed cybersecurity for businesses without a security department. Barsec deploys, configures, monitors, and responds. We protect the devices, user accounts, people, and public-facing systems your business runs on, and real people watch it for you. What Barsec protects: - Endpoint security: laptops, desktops, and servers monitored for malware, ransomware, and attacker persistence. - Identity security: Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts watched for compromise, suspicious logins, and mailbox rules. - Security awareness: training so employees recognize phishing and invoice fraud. - Security posture management: MFA coverage, patching, admin privileges, stale accounts, backups, email and DNS configuration. - Website and public-facing systems: hardening, SSL monitoring, security headers, updates, backups, and uptime. - Human-led response: real people investigate before you are alerted. How the service works: 1. Security assessment of how devices, accounts, and the website are configured today. 2. Findings prioritized in plain language, focused on what reduces risk first. 3. Barsec deploys and configures protection, then monitors continuously. 4. When something suspicious appears, real people investigate before the business is alerted. 5. Threats are contained, and the business is told what happened and what was done. Technology Barsec operates on the customer's behalf: Huntress for endpoint and identity threat detection, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace hardening, WordPress and website security tooling, and DNS and domain protection. These are tools Barsec runs, not partnerships the customer manages. --- ## Page: Managed Cybersecurity in Austin and Central Texas (https://barsec.tech/central-texas-cybersecurity) Managed cybersecurity services for Central Texas businesses.

A: Look for a provider that operates the security tooling for you rather than handing you software to run. Barsec selects, deploys, and configures protection for devices and accounts, monitors it continuously, and investigates before alerting you. Q: What does managed cybersecurity cost for a small Texas business? A: Managed cybersecurity is scoped and priced after a security assessment, because cost depends on how many devices and user accounts need coverage. Website services are published: the Concierge plan is $150 per month. Q: Are small local businesses really targeted? A: Most attacks are opportunistic rather than targeted. Automated scanning and mass phishing hit small local businesses constantly, and those businesses usually have nobody assigned to notice. --- ## Page: Website Security (https://barsec.tech/website-security) Website hardening and monitoring: secure configuration, SSL certificate and expiration monitoring, security headers and exposure checks, platform, theme, and plugin updates, backups and restore testing, uptime and performance monitoring, content changes, and human support. --- ## Page: Website Maintenance Services (https://barsec.tech/services/website-maintenance) Monthly website maintenance for small businesses: updates, security monitoring, backups, uptime, speed, and content changes, with a real person to email. --- ## Page: Pricing (https://barsec.tech/pricing) Concierge website plan: $150 per month, including design or redesign, hosting, speed and uptime, ongoing updates, website security monitoring, content changes, and human support.
