Cybersecurity services for Chicagoland businesses

Security that is built in, not bolted on.

Layered, NIST-aligned protection included in every WEBIT managed IT engagement: managed detection and response, email security, MFA, firewall management, backups, and training that actually changes behavior.

  • NIST CSF aligned
  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Zero trust allowlisting

Measurable risk reduction

Most breaches start with one click. We plan for that.

Attackers target small and midsize businesses because they expect thin defenses and no one watching. WEBIT closes that gap with a security stack that is monitored around the clock, baselined to the CIS Controls (which map directly to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework), and reviewed with you through regular health assessments.

Our Director of Security and vCISO practice turn security from a vague worry into a scorecard: where you stand today, what we are fixing next, and how your risk is trending over time.

Layers of protection

Defense in depth, explained plainly.

Each layer covers a gap the others leave open, so a single failure never becomes a breach.

Managed detection & response

Security analysts monitor endpoints and identities 24/7 and contain threats in minutes, not days.

Email security

Filtering, impersonation protection, and link scanning stop the phishing emails behind most attacks.

Identity & MFA

Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and least-privilege accounts protect every login.

Network & firewall

Next-generation firewalls, segmentation, and secure remote access, monitored and kept current.

Backup & recovery

Immutable, tested backups so ransomware becomes an inconvenience instead of a crisis.

Compliance alignment

Managed Compliance maps your controls to NIST CSF, HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, or CMMC, with evidence ready for audits.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Have a question we did not cover? Talk to an owner.

Is cybersecurity included in WEBIT managed IT?

Yes, the foundation is. Every managed IT agreement includes Security Essentials on each managed workstation and server: Zero Trust endpoint protection, application allowlisting, DNS filtering, and vulnerability management, on top of a CIS Controls baseline. Security Advanced (Microsoft 365 threat detection and response, email security, Microsoft 365 backup, security awareness training, and dark web monitoring) and add-ons such as Duo MFA, managed SIEM, and privileged access management are priced separately so you only pay for what you need.

What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

NIST CSF is a widely adopted framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology that organizes security into Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. WEBIT can implement and manage it for you through Managed Compliance.

Can WEBIT help with compliance requirements?

We align your environment to NIST and support the technical controls behind HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, SEC and FINRA expectations, and CMMC readiness. We are not a law firm, so we work alongside your auditors and counsel.

What happens if we get hit with ransomware?

Our MDR team works to contain the threat, we isolate affected systems, and we restore from tested, immutable backups. You get clear communication at every step and a post-incident review.

Do you offer a free security assessment?

Yes. Our free risk assessment shows where your business is exposed today, with no sales call required. Request yours here.

What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and why does it matter?

Managed Detection and Response is a security service that continuously watches your endpoints, accounts, and user behavior for threats that traditional antivirus misses. When a threat is detected, a security team responds right away to contain it before it spreads. MDR matters because the gap between a breach and its discovery is often days or weeks, and damage grows the longer an attacker goes unnoticed. The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report tracks how attackers get in each year, and stolen credentials, phishing, and exploited vulnerabilities remain leading entry points. WEBIT provides detection and response for Microsoft 365 through Security Advanced, protects endpoints through Security Essentials, and adds 24x7 log alerting with managed SIEM.

Does WEBIT provide security awareness training for employees?

Yes. Security awareness training is part of WEBIT's Security Advanced package. It runs year-round with simulated phishing tests modeled on real attacks, followed by short training for the people who need it most. The goal is consistent reflexes, so when a real threat arrives your team recognizes it and knows what to do. People are one of the most common entry points for ransomware and business email compromise, which makes training one of the highest-return security investments a business can make.

How does WEBIT handle a cybersecurity incident?

If you are a WEBIT client with an active incident, call support at 630-523-0220 right away. If you are not a client yet, call 630-526-8030. WEBIT's average response time is under 2 minutes, and your dedicated Field Engineer already knows your environment. The response sequence is immediate triage and containment, isolation of affected systems, investigation to find the entry point and scope, remediation and recovery, and a post-incident report with recommendations to prevent a repeat. If your business carries cyber liability insurance, WEBIT coordinates with your insurer throughout.

How does WEBIT support cyber insurance requirements?

Most cyber insurers now require specific controls before issuing or renewing a policy: multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, backup with tested restores, email security, and documented incident response procedures. WEBIT implements and maintains these controls through Security Essentials and Security Advanced, with Duo MFA and backup available as add-ons. WEBIT also helps prepare the documentation insurers request at application and renewal, and a WEBIT vCISO can complete insurer security questionnaires with you.

Two new clients per month. Maximum.
