Cybersecurity built into your business — not an afterthought

Most small and midsize businesses treat cybersecurity as an add-on; something that gets purchased after a scare or tacked on when a vendor mentions it. That approach leaves gaps that attackers know how to find.

At WEBIT, cybersecurity is part of the foundation. It’s woven into your managed IT agreement from day one – not sold separately, not deployed in isolation. Every client gets the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and AI Risk Management Framework configured in their compliance portal at no additional cost. Every recommendation comes from a team with no vendor commissions and no incentive to oversell.

We serve businesses with 20 to 200 employees across Chicagoland. When something happens — and in today’s threat environment, it’s a matter of when, not if — you’ll have a team that already knows your environment and is ready to respond.

Detection, prevention, response, compliance, and the human layer. Every service below is managed by the same team that knows your environment.

Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

Antivirus alone doesn’t stop today’s threats. Managed Detection & Response goes further — continuously monitoring your endpoints, network, and user activity for behavioral indicators that traditional tools miss. When a threat is detected, our team responds immediately: containing the incident, investigating the root cause, and eliminating the risk before it spreads.

MDR is particularly critical for businesses in regulated industries. The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report consistently shows that the median time between a breach and its detection is days — sometimes weeks. MDR closes that gap.

Managed Firewall & Access Control

A firewall that isn’t actively managed is just a false sense of security. Our managed firewall service monitors your network perimeter continuously, updates rules as your environment changes, and enforces access controls based on user roles, ensuring the right people get in and the wrong ones don’t.

We configure, monitor, and maintain your firewall so your team never has to think about it. When something changes in your environment — a new office, a remote user, a vendor needing access — we update the rules before it becomes a gap.

Email Protection

Email is the most common entry point for cyberattacks. Phishing, business email compromise, malicious attachments, and impersonation attacks are all designed to look legitimate enough to fool a busy employee. Our email protection service filters threats before they reach your inbox, blocking suspicious messages, flagging impersonation attempts, and quarantining malicious content automatically.

We layer email protection with security awareness training so your team isn’t just protected by technology; they’re also equipped to recognize what slips through.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Stolen credentials are one of the leading causes of business data breaches. Multi-factor authentication adds a second verification layer to every login, so even if a password is compromised, your accounts stay protected.

We deploy and manage MFA across your Microsoft 365 environment, VPN, remote access tools, and any other system that supports it. Rollout is handled by our team. User friction is minimized. And your accounts are significantly harder to compromise from day one.

IT Audit & Compliance

Compliance isn’t a checkbox activity; it’s a continuous posture. Whether your business operates under HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, NIST, or internal governance standards, our IT audit and compliance service maps your current environment to the applicable frameworks, identifies gaps, and delivers a remediation roadmap you can act on.The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is included in every WEBIT managed IT agreement cofigured in your compliance portal at no additional cost. For businesses in financial services, healthcare, or other regulated industries, we also maintain the documentation your auditors will request: access logs, patch records, incident response procedures, and risk assessments.

For healthcare clients, see our HIPAA-specific security services.

Security Awareness Training

Technology stops most threats. Your team has to stop the rest. Phishing simulations, social engineering attempts, and credential harvesting attacks are all designed to target human behavior — and they work when people aren’t prepared.

Our security awareness training program runs continuously, not as a one-time event. Employees receive simulated phishing tests, training modules tied to current threat patterns, and clear guidance on what to do when something looks wrong. Your team becomes a layer of defense — not a liability.

These aren’t optional add-ons. Every WEBIT cybersecurity client receives these as part of their agreement.

The threat landscape your business is operating in

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reported over $12.5 billion in cybercrime losses to U.S. businesses in 2023. Small and midsize businesses are disproportionately targeted — they carry valuable data but typically have fewer defenses than enterprise organizations.

That’s not a reason for alarm. It’s a reason for a plan. WEBIT’s layered security approach means that no single failure — a stolen password, a misconfigured firewall, a clicked phishing link — results in a catastrophic breach. Each layer limits the damage of the one before it.

The security standards that apply to your business depend on your industry. WEBIT has deep experience aligning cybersecurity to the specific requirements of regulated sectors across Chicagoland.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cybersecurity services does WEBIT provide?

WEBIT provides a full cybersecurity stack for businesses with 20–200 employees: Managed Detection & Response (MDR), managed firewall and access control, email protection, multi-factor authentication, IT audit and compliance, and security awareness training. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework and AI Risk Management Framework are included in every managed IT agreement at no additional cost.

What is Managed Detection & Response (MDR)?

Managed Detection & Response is a security service that continuously monitors your endpoints, network, and user activity for threats that traditional antivirus misses. When a threat is detected, a security team responds immediately — containing the incident and eliminating the risk before it spreads. MDR is distinct from antivirus because it involves active human analysis and response, not just automated blocking.

Does WEBIT help with HIPAA and compliance requirements?

Yes. WEBIT’s IT audit and compliance service maps your environment to HIPAA, GLBA, NIST, SOX, and other applicable frameworks, identifies gaps, and delivers a remediation roadmap. For healthcare clients, we maintain the PHI documentation, access controls, and audit records that regulators require. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is configured in every client’s compliance portal as a baseline. Learn More.

How is WEBIT’s cybersecurity different from other IT companies in Naperville?

WEBIT is one of the only employee-owned MSPs providing cybersecurity in Naperville. Every person on your account has a personal stake in the outcome. We include the NIST Cybersecurity Framework at no extra charge, recommend tools without vendor commissions, and back every engagement with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Security isn’t sold as an add-on here — it’s built into the foundation.

What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and why does it matter?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. It’s recognized by regulators, auditors, and insurers across industries as a benchmark for security maturity. WEBIT configures the NIST framework — along with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — in every client’s compliance portal at no additional cost.

How does security awareness training work?

WEBIT’s security awareness training runs continuously throughout the year. Employees receive simulated phishing tests designed to mimic real-world attack patterns, followed by targeted training modules based on how they respond. The goal is to build reflexes — so when a genuine threat arrives, your team recognizes it and knows what to do.

Can WEBIT handle cybersecurity for a business that already has some IT staff?

Yes. Co-managed IT is designed for businesses that have internal IT people and need security expertise, coverage, or tooling they don’t currently have. We work alongside your internal team — handling the security layer while they maintain the environment they know. Read more.

What should I do if my business has already experienced a security incident?

Call us: 630-526-8030. If you’re in an active incident, we’ll prioritize immediate triage. If you’ve recently had a breach and need a post-incident assessment, we’ll evaluate your environment, identify the entry point, close the gap, and build a roadmap to prevent recurrence. Our average response time is under 2 minutes. See Industries.
