Why We Built the Protect+ Bundle

The Protect+ bundle was developed to help small businesses meet growing compliance requirements and combat increasingly complex threats. More clients were being asked to meet industry-specific benchmarks like HIPAA, financial regulations, and more, but didn’t have the tools or expertise to get there on their own.
While our core Managed IT Services keep your systems stable and secure, the Protect+ bundle layers in enterprise-grade protection that prepares your business for audits, compliance, and modern cyber risks.
Think of Managed IT as your reliable lock and key, and Protect+ as your full alarm system with cameras, motion sensors, and controlled access.

Giving SMBs IT Support and Security

Onset Solutions has always had one mission: to give small businesses the same level of IT support and security that large enterprises rely on. Big companies have the budget for full-time IT and compliance teams. Small businesses deserve access to that same expertise, without the enterprise price tag.
With Protect+, you get your local IT partner with a personal touch. We don’t just hand you tools; we bring the operational know-how to keep them running, managed, and continuously aligned with your business goals.

Who Should Add Protect+ to Their Plan?

The Protect+ bundle is ideal for small and mid-size businesses in regulated or data-sensitive industries, such as:
  • Healthcare practices (HIPAA compliance) 
  • Accounting firms and CPAs (WISP requirements) 
  • Financial advisors and wealth managers 
  • Nonprofits handling donor or client data 

If you’re not facing Department of Defense-level audits but still need to prove your business is secure and compliant, then Protect+ was designed for you. 

What Risks Does Protect+ Address?

The basic Managed IT package focuses on inbound threats like viruses, hackers, and phishing attempts. The Protect+ expands that protection to include internal risks, such as:
  • Employees saving passwords in unsecured files or cloud storage 
  • Data being forwarded to personal accounts 
  • Disgruntled employees taking client data before leaving 
  • Accidental deletions or configuration errors that put information at risk 
With its zero-trust approach, Protect+ ensures that the right people have access to the right data, and only that data.

How We're Different from Other Denver IT Providers

Many managed IT providers sell software; we deliver expertise. Protect+ clients work with consultants who understand both IT and business operations. From compliance readiness to endpoint management, we make sure every solution fits your organization, and not the other way around.

The Biggest Misconception We Clear Up

Many business owners believe they’re too small to be a target. The truth? Hackers actively target small businesses because they’re typically less protected. Even a single attack can cost over $100,000 in downtime, lost revenue, and recovery. Protect+ ensures your small business isn’t an easy target.

Why Upgrade with Protect+?

By adding the Protect+ bundle to your Managed IT Services, you get:
  • Advanced cybersecurity for SMBs covering both external and internal threats 
  • Peace of mind knowing compliance benchmarks are met 
  • Operational guidance from a trusted, local partner 
  • Business continuity planning that reduces downtime and risk 
In short, you’re not just investing in IT support, you’re investing in security, trust, and the freedom to focus on what matters most: growing your business.

Explore the Core Services in Protect+

The Protect+ combines several advanced components to create a layered, enterprise-grade security approach.

Secure Remote Access

Remote work brings flexibility, but also risk. With secure remote access, your team can safely connect from anywhere without exposing your business to hackers on public Wi-Fi or international networks.

Advanced Security Monitoring & Visibility

Visibility is everything. SIEM and endpoint visibility monitor activity across your systems, catching unusual behavior early, whether it’s a hacker or a disgruntled employee, so you can respond before damage is done.

System Security Plan

A solid cybersecurity foundation starts with clear documentation. Our System Security Plan (SSP) defines your organization’s baseline security policies, controls, and procedures to align with compliance standards such as HIPAA, WISP, and NIST.

Advanced Identity & Access Management

Traditional antivirus isn’t enough. Endpoint protection detects and stops suspicious activity in real time, even when threats are brand new. It’s the enterprise-grade security tool that keeps ransomware and malware at bay.

Workforce IT Policies

Clear, consistent policies help protect your people and your business. Our Workforce IT Policies service establishes standardized guidelines for onboarding, offboarding, and acceptable technology use, so everyone on your team understands their responsibilities for keeping company data secure.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Unexpected outages, natural disasters, or cyberattacks can bring business operations to a halt. 

Our Disaster Recovery Planning service ensures your organization is ready to respond and recover quickly. We develop formal, step-by-step plans for restoring critical systems, applications, and data so your team knows exactly what to do when the unexpected happens. This includes defining recovery priorities, communication protocols, and backup procedures to minimize downtime and data loss.

Together, these services form the backbone of Protect+, providing small and mid-size businesses with enterprise-level protection that scales as they grow.
