Endpoint detection and response watched by a 24/7 security operations center, email security tuned for the attacks professional firms actually see, and people trained to spot what gets through.
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is security software that watches every computer for the behavior of an attack — not just known virus signatures — and can isolate a machine the moment something goes wrong. A security operations center (SOC) is the team of analysts watching those alerts around the clock and acting on them. nicwerks® delivers both through our ThreatDown partnership: EDR on every endpoint, a 24/7 SOC behind it.
The most common attack on professional firms isn't exotic — it's phishing and business email compromise: a convincing email pretending to be a partner, a client, or a vendor invoice. Our stack pairs technical defenses with security awareness training, because your people are part of the perimeter.
ThreatDown endpoint detection on every device, monitored and acted on around the clock by a security operations center.
Advanced filtering that flags impersonation and business email compromise before it reaches an inbox — the top threat to firms.
Monthly phishing simulations, short training episodes, recovery training for anyone who clicks, and reports leadership actually reads.
Continuous scanning for weaknesses plus scheduled penetration testing — find it before someone else does.
Personal-data removal and impersonation monitoring for principals whose names get used in scams targeting staff and clients.
The controls and evidence cyber-insurance underwriters ask about — documented before renewal season, not scrambled after.
SSJ wanted its people trained against the attacks law firms actually see. nicwerks rolled out managed security awareness training firm-wide: monthly phishing simulations, short training episodes, recovery training for anyone who clicks, and a monthly report to the partners — with a 100% participation standard.
A firm handling client-confidential or financial data; facing cyber-insurance questionnaires; targeted by phishing (everyone is); or a leadership team that wants security measured and reported, not assumed.
You need a dedicated in-house security team with custom threat-hunting for a large enterprise, or formal certification audits themselves — we prepare you for auditors and work alongside them, but we aren't a certification body.
Antivirus matches files against known threats. EDR watches behavior — a process encrypting files, credentials moving somewhere odd — so it catches attacks antivirus has never seen, and can isolate a machine instantly.
Attacks don't keep business hours — most ransomware detonates nights and weekends. A SOC means a human acts at 3 a.m., without you paying for an overnight security staff.
Underwriters increasingly require EDR, MFA, training, and tested backups. We implement those controls and produce the documentation that satisfies the questionnaire — which often improves both insurability and pricing.
Training works when it's continuous: monthly simulations, immediate coaching for anyone who clicks, and reporting that shows improvement. Our clients run 100% participation programs — measured, not assumed.
