Quick answer: Cybersecurity for a small business means layered protection across your devices, email, network, and data, backed by monitoring and a plan for when something goes wrong. Hatchway provides managed cybersecurity to businesses across Metro Vancouver, including endpoint protection, patching, email security, and compliance support, so your team is protected without needing a security specialist on staff.

What managed cybersecurity includes

  • Endpoint protection and antivirus on every device, centrally managed.
  • Patch management to close the vulnerabilities attackers use most.
  • Email security against phishing, spoofing, and malware.
  • 24/7 monitoring and threat response.
  • Backup and recovery so you can restore quickly after an incident.
  • Compliance support for the standards your industry requires.

Common threats facing Vancouver small businesses

Most incidents at small businesses start with email. Phishing tricks staff into handing over passwords, and ransomware locks up files until you pay. Unpatched software and weak access controls make both worse. The goal of managed cybersecurity is to reduce the chance of an incident and limit the damage if one happens.

Cybersecurity for law firms and professional firms

Law firms and professional practices hold confidential client data and rely heavily on email, cloud files and remote access. Hatchway helps these firms strengthen access controls, reduce phishing risk, maintain recoverable backups and document the protections clients and insurers increasingly ask about.

Why choose Hatchway

We are a local, Vancouver-based team and pair security with the rest of your IT, so nothing falls through the gaps. Our partnerships with ESET, SonicWall, and Microsoft give us enterprise-grade tools at small-business pricing. Security is strongest when it is part of fully managed or co-managed IT rather than a bolt-on, so we build it into how we run your systems.

Frequently asked questions

What is managed cybersecurity?

Managed cybersecurity is an outside team handling your security tools, monitoring, and response for a monthly fee, including endpoint protection, patching, email security, and backups, instead of relying on staff to manage it alone.

Do small businesses really get targeted?

Yes. Small businesses are common targets precisely because their defences are often weaker, and most attacks are automated and opportunistic rather than aimed at large companies only.

Can you help with compliance?

Yes. We help align your security controls with the standards your industry or clients require, and document what is in place.
