Managed Cybersecurity Services in Calgary

An MSSP is a company that runs a business's cybersecurity for it — 24/7 threat monitoring, incident response, firewall and email security management, endpoint protection, vulnerability scanning, and compliance support — without the business needing an in-house security team. For Calgary SMBs, an MSSP replaces what would otherwise cost $200,000+/year in security headcount with a flat monthly fee.

Antivirus catches known threats on individual devices. Managed cybersecurity protects the whole organization: endpoint detection and response (EDR) catches novel threats, email security blocks phishing before it lands, multi-factor authentication stops credential theft, 24/7 SOC monitoring catches active intrusions, and incident response contains attacks within minutes. Antivirus is one of about a dozen layers — not the whole solution.

If your business handles client data, financial records, or anything regulated under PIPEDA — yes. 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses (Verizon DBIR 2024), and the average Canadian SMB ransomware incident costs $200,000+ in downtime and recovery. The cost of an MSSP is dramatically lower than one breach. The threshold isn't business size — it's whether you can afford to be down for a week.

Everything in one flat fee: 24/7 threat monitoring, managed detection and response (MDR), email security with phishing and impersonation filters, endpoint protection on every device, multi-factor authentication enforcement, immutable cloud backups, vulnerability scanning, quarterly security awareness training, an incident response plan, and the Hack Free Guarantee. No “Bronze/Silver/Gold” cybersecurity tiers — one comprehensive package, period.

Always Beyond's Calgary-based team answers calls in under 90 seconds. For active security incidents (suspected ransomware, account takeover, data exfiltration), our SOC is monitoring 24/7 and triggers containment automatically. Most incidents are contained within 15 minutes of detection — well before the typical 24-hour gap between initial intrusion and ransomware encryption (Sophos State of Ransomware 2024).

Yes. PIPEDA, Alberta PIPA, and industry-specific compliance frameworks (Law Society of Alberta, CPA Alberta, sector-specific rules) are part of the standard service. Always Beyond documents your security controls, maintains the audit trails regulators look for, and produces compliance-ready documentation as part of the monthly engagement — not a separate project.

Industry benchmark for managed cybersecurity in Calgary is $400–$1,200 per month for a typical 10–30 user business, depending on compliance requirements and depth (MDR vs. basic monitoring). Always Beyond bundles managed cybersecurity into the managed IT package at a flat per-user rate — no separate cybersecurity line item. A free 24-hour quote shows you exactly what your business would pay.

Always Beyond's Hack Free Guarantee is a written commitment that backs the managed cybersecurity service. If a client suffers a breach despite following our security recommendations, we cover the remediation costs. It exists because we believe MSSPs should put their money where their marketing is — and because the operational discipline required to honour the guarantee makes our security stack better.
