SHIELD

Your cybersecurity officer
for your business.

Your IT department. Without the cost of one.

We have taken on monitoring, detection and response for your business — 24/7, under a Hellenic Police licence. Without hiring anyone.

WHAT CHANGES

What this means for your business

You are not buying software. You are handing over the work you have no time to do.

  • Someone is watching

    Twenty-four hours a day. If something moves suspiciously on your network, we see it — not you.

  • Someone answers

    Within four hours — on business days and hours — with our own person. Not an automatic reply, not a support queue.

  • Someone is accountable

    One name, not a call centre. A name you know — and who answers.

  • You do not have to become the expert

    Security is not your job — it is ours. You stay in your profession.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE SHIELD

What we install for you — and what it replaces

For everything we install: what it does, what it means for you, and what you would be paying without it.

What we take on — from day one

  1. 01

    We install on your systems

  2. 02

    We watch from our centre

  3. 03

    We respond — automatically, and with a person

  4. 04

    We document every incident

Signal centre — Bytsecure

Bytsecure's signal centre — the SIEM, exclusively for you, inside the EU. The signals from every installation are correlated here.

  • SIEM · XDR

    What it does

    • Logs from every device
    • File integrity — what changed (FIM)
    • Vulnerabilities and misconfigurations (SCA)
    • Automated response to a confirmed threat

    What it means for you

    The brain of the service. It receives agent data, applies detection rules, correlates events from different sources and decides whether something is a threat — turning raw logs into prioritised findings.

    Replaces: SIEM/SOC as a service — per-seat subscription

  • Storage · search

    What it does

    • Retention of event history
    • Retrieval by IP, user, host or time window

    What it means for you

    The search engine behind the SIEM. It stores and indexes every event so an investigation is answered in seconds rather than hours, under a retention policy we set.

    Replaces: a commercial search engine licence

  • Log forwarding

    What it does

    • Transport of sensor logs to the centre

    What it means for you

    The pipeline that reliably carries network and system logs into the correlation centre, without loss.

    Replaces: a log-shipping platform

Client network & platform

The security software we maintain for you: on the platform we build and on your network. The network sensor sits on the client's switch or a TAP.

  • IDS/IPS · bots

    What it does

    • Malicious behaviour in logs and HTTP
    • Automatic IP blocking at the VM firewall — on every port
    • Known malicious IPs from the community blocklist, before they reach you

    What it means for you

    It runs inside the platform we build for you, in front of mail and applications. It reads logs and HTTP requests, recognises attack patterns — brute force, port scan, web scan, bots — and blocks the IPs at the entry point. Detection and remediation are decoupled: the same signal blocks at whichever point of the stack we choose. Open source (MIT) — its detections reach our signal centre together with the rest.

    Replaces: an attacker-blocking service

  • Network monitoring

    What it does

    • Who talked to whom (connections)
    • DNS and TLS handshakes
    • HTTP requests
    • Unusual traffic

    What it means for you

    A passive sensor: it copies traffic from a mirror/SPAN port or a TAP and produces logs — network visibility even inside encrypted sessions, through metadata. It requires a sensor at the client site and cannot be replaced by anything running in the cloud.

    Replaces: an NDR appliance — hardware and licences

  • Incident management

    What it does

    • The path of each incident: alert → case → closure
    • Notification deadlines (NIS2 Article 23)

    What it means for you

    Every alert worth investigating becomes a case with a timeline, an owner and documentation. An incident becomes a record that stands up to an auditor, an insurer or an authority — not a conversation.

    Replaces: an incident-management platform

  • Vulnerability scanner

    What it does

    • Known vulnerabilities (CVEs) on servers and devices
    • Exposed services and ports

    What it means for you

    Scans networks and hosts — including devices with no agent, such as printers, switches or industrial equipment — and produces a vulnerability list with severity and a fixing order.

    Replaces: a vulnerability-scanner licence

  • Threat intelligence

    What it does

    • Known indicators of malicious activity

    What it means for you

    Keeps threat indicators and correlates them with our own findings — answering “have we seen this before?” from our own data. Enabled on demand.

    Replaces: a threat-intelligence subscription

  • Hardening audit

    What it does

    • Compliance score against CIS benchmarks
    • System security settings

    What it means for you

    Measures how hardened each system is against known good practice and produces a score that is tracked month over month.

    Replaces: consultant hours for hardening reviews

  • Database

    What it does

    • Storage of case data

    What it means for you

    The database behind the incident-management platform. It is never exposed — it runs internally, on the same machine.

    Replaces: a commercial search database

  • Enrichment

    What it does

    • Suspicious files, IPs and domains checked against multiple sources

    What it means for you

    Automated analysers enrich findings with outside context, so triage is based on evidence rather than guesswork.

    Replaces: threat-enrichment services

Client devices

The software that runs on your computers and servers, alongside your daily work.

  • Endpoint agent

    What it does

    • System and application logs
    • File changes (FIM)
    • Configuration and registry
    • Vulnerabilities on the device itself

    What it means for you

    Sends the device's data outbound (ports 1514/1515) to the centre. It does not need to see the network — it only reports what happens inside the device, in near real time.

    Replaces: a per-device endpoint agent licence

  • Antivirus · Linux

    What it does

    • Malicious files at the moment they are accessed (on-access)

    What it means for you

    The antivirus for your Linux machines. It blocks the threat locally, on the machine itself, and the agent forwards findings to the centre.

    Replaces: antivirus licences per computer, per year

  • Antivirus · Windows

    What it does

    • Malicious files and actions on Windows

    What it means for you

    On Windows we use the built-in Defender — mature and at no extra cost — with its events reaching the centre through the agent.

    Replaces: an extra EDR licence — Defender is already there

THE SECOND PILLAR

Compliance certificates

The same service also issues all six compliance documents — numbered, signed, ready for an inspection: by an authority, a client or your partner. There is no separate charge.

Each document maps the technical measures we apply to specific articles of the legislation — documented by the Shield's checks. The documents are issued by Bytsecure and are not a certification by an independent or accredited body.

NIS2 is not one document: it is issued per sector — finance, health, legal, public sector, general. We pick yours at issuance.

Why We Stand Out

We don't sell software. We take on your protection — with a licence, with people who answer, with evidence that stands up to an audit.

Instant notification

Email or a message on your phone the moment something suspicious happens — not when you discover it yourself.

Help with the authorities

Report, evidence and communication with the authorities — so you are not left alone with a PDF and a phone nobody answers.

We respond to every incident within 4 hours, on business days and hours — and we handle it ourselves, at no extra charge.

THE SERVICE

One service. No packages.

This is the work we take on: every piece of security software on your network, with the signal centre running on our own VM — plus unscheduled checks whenever they are needed.

€150/month

€150/month, excluding VAT, no prepayment.
