Foundation bundle
Hygiene that every business needs: stronger sign-in, people who spot phishing, and basic posture so easy attacks fail more often.
- Managed MFA and access hygiene
- Security awareness
- Patch and email hygiene aligned with Managed IT
Security Bundle
Defense in depthworks as a bundle.
Cybersecurity fails in the gaps between tools. EMPIST packages layers that reinforce each other so identity, endpoints, people, and response protect the business as one system, cost-effectively.

Outcomes
Layers that earn their keep together
A bundle is not a discount sticker on random products. It is defense in depth designed so spend, coverage, and ownership line up.
- Layers that cover each other
One control failing should not open the business. Bundled defense in depth means identity, endpoints, people, and response reinforce each other.
- More protection per dollar of effort
Buying point tools a la carte often means gaps, duplicate spend, and no one owning the seams. Bundled layers are designed to work as one program.
- A clear path forward
Bundles pair with SecureForward: see the gaps, prioritize the layers, and move the posture forward without a random shopping list.
Why bundle
Point tools leave seams. Bundles close them.
- Defense in depth is not optional
Attackers chain identity, email, devices, and people. A single product is not a security program. Bundling is how depth becomes real.
- Gaps hide between tools
EDR without identity monitoring, or awareness without hardening, leaves paths open. Bundles close the seams on purpose.
- Cost-effective means coordinated
The expensive path is paying for overlapping tools that still miss the middle. A right-sized bundle focuses spend where risk actually drops.
Common approaches
Bundles sized to how you operate
Starting patterns, not fixed SKUs. We mix current EMPIST services so the package is cost-effective for your risk.
Identity + endpoint bundle
Stop takeovers and contain device threats as one layer set. Built for businesses where phishing and ransomware are the daily reality.
Microsoft 365 assurance bundle
When the tenant is the workplace, continuous cloud security and people controls belong together.
- Cloud Security Assurance
- Security awareness
- Identity hardening tied to M365
Detect, respond, recover bundle
For teams that know prevention is not enough. Detection and response sit next to recovery so minutes are not wasted inventing a plan.
- EDR and/or ITDR
- Incident response readiness
- Backup & disaster recovery
Aligned with SecureForward
Find the gaps. Bundle the fix. Move forward.
SecureForward is how many businesses decide what belongs in the bundle: posture first, then the layers that close exposure.
- Start with posture, not a price tag
SecureForward begins with where you are exposed. The bundle is what closes those gaps in a sensible order.
- Prioritize what lowers risk first
Not every layer on day one. The right bundle for your size, industry, and stack, then expand as maturity grows.
- Move forward with confidence
Clear next steps, coordinated layers, and a partner who keeps prevention, detection, and response aligned.

FAQ
Before you book a call
Bundling, pricing myths, and SecureForward.
01Is there still a flat per-user bundle price?
No. Legacy flat per-user promotions are retired. Bundles are scoped to the layers your business needs. We focus on defense in depth and cost-effective packaging, not a one-price sticker.
02Why bundle instead of buying tools separately?
Separate tools often leave gaps between identity, devices, people, and response. A bundle is designed so layers cover each other and spend goes where risk actually drops.
03How does this relate to SecureForward?
SecureForward finds gaps and prioritizes what to close. Security bundles are a common way those priorities become a coordinated, cost-effective set of layers.
04Do we have to take every layer?
No. Common approaches above are starting patterns. We right-size the bundle to your risk, stack, and budget, then expand as you move forward.
05Can this work if we already have some security tools?
Yes. Bundles can fill seams around what you already run, or replace overlapping tools that do not talk to each other.
