Keep the bad guys out. Without the enterprise price tag.
Tenancy management, MFA, data security, and endpoint protection — built for Kansas City small businesses that can't afford a breach.
Cybersecurity built for small business reality.
You don't need an enterprise security stack. You need the right layers in the right places — configured correctly and monitored by people who know your environment.
Microsoft 365 Tenancy Hardening
Conditional access policies, admin account protection, and tenant-wide security baselines applied to your M365 environment.
Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA deployed across all users and applications. We handle the rollout, user training, and ongoing management.
Endpoint Detection & Response
Next-generation endpoint protection that goes beyond antivirus — behavioral detection, threat isolation, and real-time response.
Email Security & Filtering
Advanced spam filtering, phishing protection, and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to stop threats before they reach inboxes.
Security Awareness Training
Simulated phishing campaigns and training modules that teach your team to recognize and report threats.
Compliance & Risk Assessment
HIPAA, PCI, and general SMB compliance reviews. We identify gaps and give you a prioritized remediation roadmap.
We've been doing this since before "cybersecurity" was a buzzword.
CyteWorks has been protecting Kansas City businesses since 2001. We've seen every type of attack, cleaned up after breaches, and built the security frameworks that prevented them. We don't sell fear — we sell practical protection that fits your budget and your risk profile.
When you work with us, you get Robb, Duane, and Sean — not a tier-1 helpdesk reading from a script. We know your environment, we know your users, and we respond like it matters.
From assessment to protection in four steps.
We start by understanding your current environment and risk exposure — then build a layered security plan that fits your budget and your business.
Security Assessment
We audit your current environment, identify vulnerabilities, and document your risk exposure.
Prioritized Plan
We give you a plain-English remediation roadmap — highest risk items first, with clear costs.
Implementation
We deploy the right tools and configurations — MFA, EDR, email security, and policy hardening.
Ongoing Monitoring
We monitor your environment, respond to threats, and keep your security posture current.
Cybersecurity questions we hear from Kansas City businesses.
Do I really need cybersecurity if I'm a small business?
Small businesses are the primary target for ransomware and phishing attacks precisely because attackers assume you have fewer defenses. 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. The cost of a breach — downtime, data recovery, reputation damage — far exceeds the cost of prevention.
What's the difference between antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR)?
Traditional antivirus looks for known malware signatures. EDR uses behavioral analysis to detect threats that have never been seen before — including fileless attacks, living-off-the-land techniques, and zero-day exploits. For most businesses, EDR has replaced antivirus as the baseline standard.
We use Microsoft 365 — are we already protected?
Microsoft 365 includes basic security features, but the default configuration is not hardened for business use. Without conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, and proper admin account protection, your M365 tenancy is a significant attack surface. We see M365 account compromises regularly in Kansas City businesses that assumed they were protected.
How much does cybersecurity cost?
It depends on your environment and risk profile. A basic security layer for a 10-person business typically runs $300–$600/month. A full security stack with EDR, email security, MFA, and monitoring for a 25-person business is typically $800–$1,500/month. We'll give you a clear quote after the assessment — no surprises.
What happens if we get hit with ransomware?
If you're a CyteWorks client, we respond immediately — isolate affected systems, assess the scope, and begin recovery using your backup infrastructure. If you're not yet a client and you've been hit, call us at 816-272-5246. We handle incident response for Kansas City businesses.
