24/7 Cyber Security Monitoring for NZ Businesses
Most small and mid sized NZ businesses don’t have a 24/7 security team.
Attackers do.
BTG Guardian powered by Huntress gives you enterprise grade threat detection, continuous monitoring, and structured incident response, without hiring security staff.
What You Get
- 24/7 human led security monitoring.
- Managed SIEM with centralised logging.
- Validated threat detection (no alert spam).
- Escalation to BTG for response.
- Compliance ready reporting.
- Predictable pricing.
This isn’t just software. It’s monitored protection.
Why It Matters
Without centralised monitoring:
- Breaches can go undetected for weeks.
- Ransomware spreads before you see it.
- Insurance claims become harder to defend.
- Incident response becomes reactive and expensive.
Guardian reduces detection time from weeks to minutes or hours.
What is a SIEM?
A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform collects and analyses security logs across your environment, identifies suspicious behaviour, and supports investigations and compliance reporting.
It provides the visibility required for effective monitoring.
What is a SOC?
A SOC (Security Operations Centre) is the human team monitoring and investigating threats.
Guardian includes both the SIEM technology and the 24/7 analysts behind it.
Is this overkill for a business our size?
The real question is whether you need continuous monitoring and incident response capability.
Without centralised monitoring:
- Breaches can go undetected for weeks or even months
- You rely on users spotting and reporting suspicious behaviour
- Incident costs typically increase significantly
Guardian gives SMBs access to the same monitoring structure used by larger organisations.
Is this required for cyber insurance in NZ?
Increasingly, insurers expect:
- Endpoint protection
- 24/7 monitoring
- Centralised logging
- Documented incident response
Guardian helps align your environment with those expectations and provides reporting evidence at renewal time.
What Happens During a Real Incident?
When a confirmed threat is detected:
- The Huntress SOC investigates and validates the activity.
- BTG is notified immediately.
- We investigate, assess the impact and determine next steps.
- Where applicable, containment can include:
- Account disabling
- Endpoint isolation
- Access restriction
You receive:
- Clear explanation of the threat
- Business risk assessment
- Remediation guidance
- Post-incident reporting
With Guardian Plus, BTG takes ownership of response coordination.
When we recommend a SMB Adopt a Managed SIEM/SOC.
If you:
- Want continuous monitoring of your environment for potential security intrusions.
- Hold client or financial data.
- Require cyber insurance or have compliance requirement.
- Want to retain event logs for investigation in the case of an incident.
- Don’t have internal IT security staff.
- Cannot budget for expensive SIEM infrastructure.
24/7 monitoring is no longer optional; it’s becoming standard practice.
Guardian provides enterprise-grade capability scaled for SMB.
Need Broader Cyber Security Support?
Cyber security isn’t one-size-fits-all and it’s rarely limited to just one area like Microsoft 365. That’s why our security team is here to support you across your entire technology environment.
If there’s something else you’d like us to look at, simply let us know. Whether it’s your broader network security, cloud platforms, endpoint protection, or even staff awareness training; we can help. Our team of experienced security specialists can carry out targeted reviews, risk assessments, or advisory sessions, all tailored to your business.
For many organisations, Microsoft 365 is just one piece of the puzzle. Cyber criminals often look for the easiest way in, and that could be through unpatched devices, poor password practices, misconfigured cloud services, or unaware staff. Our wider security services including Monitor365, our real-time threat detection and monitoring solution, help you identify these weak points before attackers do.
We take a practical, business-focused approach, cutting through the noise and jargon to deliver clear, actionable advice. Whether you’re after a simple check-up on a specific system or a more comprehensive security review, we’ll guide you through the process.
No pressure, no complicated reports, just honest insights from local security experts who know the challenges businesses face across New Zealand.
If you want peace of mind knowing your wider environment is covered, talk to us today. We can customise a security package to suit your business and help ensure your people, data, and systems stay protected.
Let’s work together to strengthen your defenses; wherever you need it.
