Security Engineering

Harden Your Environment. Prove It to Your Auditors.

A fixed-scope engagement that architects and deploys defense-in-depth across endpoints, identity, email, and network access. Senior security practitioners engineer it, validate it against real threat models, and hand it to your team with runbooks in hand.

What we engineer

Defense-in-Depth: Designed, Deployed, and Documented.

Most breaches don't happen because someone lacked a tool. They happen because tools were misconfigured, half-deployed, or never validated to actually work. We fix that with a scoped engagement: architecture, deployment, tuning, and validation across your full stack, with documentation your team can operate going forward.

  • Security architecture & risk assessment against your current stack
  • EDR/XDR deployment and tuning across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile
  • Identity hardening: MFA, conditional access, and PIM in Entra ID / Okta
  • Email security engineering with anti-phishing and DMARC/DKIM/SPF enforcement
  • Zero-trust network access design and rollout
  • Vulnerability assessment and remediation, tracked to closure
  • Incident-response planning with documented runbooks and escalation paths
  • Evidence package for audits, insurance, and board reporting

The delivery

What We Engineer and Deploy.

Security Architecture & Assessment

A full review of your current stack, gaps, and risk posture, mapped against NIST CSF and peer benchmarks.

EDR/XDR Deployment

Deployed and tuned across your endpoint fleet, with isolation and rollback capability validated before handover.

Email & Phishing Defense

Layered filtering, impersonation protection, and DMARC/DKIM/SPF enforcement configured and verified.

Identity Hardening

Conditional access, MFA enforcement, and privileged identity management configured in Entra ID or Okta.

Vulnerability Remediation

Scan, prioritize, and remediate, with every finding tracked to closure and evidence retained.

Zero-Trust Network Access

Network access architecture designed and deployed around identity and device posture, not perimeter trust.

Data Protection Configuration

DLP policies, sensitivity labeling, and encryption enforcement configured across M365/Google Workspace.

Incident-Response Planning

Documented runbooks, escalation paths, and a tabletop exercise so your team knows the plan before it's needed.

Evidence & Handover Package

Architecture documentation, control evidence, and a board-ready posture summary delivered at close.

How the project runs

From Kickoff to Clean Handover.

01

Assess & Design

Posture assessment against NIST CSF and Microsoft Secure Score. Target architecture documented.

02

Build & Migrate

EDR, identity hardening, email security, and logging deployed in pilot rings, then rolled to the full environment.

03

Secure & Validate

Controls tested against the design, tuned to reduce false positives, and validated before rollout closes.

04

Documentation & Handover

Runbooks, evidence package, and a tabletop walkthrough delivered. Your team owns monitoring and response from here.

FAQ

Common Questions.

Fixed scope, fixed fee. We scope the assessment, deployment, and hardening phases up front and price the full engagement as a statement of work.

No, PROTBYTE does not operate an ongoing 24/7 SOC. We design, deploy, and harden your security stack, then hand it over. Ongoing monitoring runs through the vendor MDR option on the EDR platform we deploy (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, etc.) or your own internal team.

We're tool-agnostic. We deploy and tune CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, and others. If you don't have one, we'll recommend a platform based on your environment during the assessment phase.

Yes. We produce the evidence pack most carriers require, including MFA coverage, EDR deployment, backup verification, and an incident-response plan, as a deliverable of the engagement.

Often the same engagement. See our Security & Compliance service: the controls we engineer map directly to SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI requirements.
