How VanguardWatch Works
No dashboards to manage. No tools to learn. Just expert cybersecurity working quietly in the background—so you can run your business with confidence.
STEP 1
Choose Your Plan
Select the tier that fits your business needs. Right after checkout, we’ll send you a short welcome email to kick things off.
STEP 2
We Get Access (You Sit Back)
You’ll either grant us admin access or connect us with your IT person. From there, we take care of the setup: training rollout, security monitoring, and alert configuration—all without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
STEP 3
You're Protected
Training starts. Threat monitoring activates. Reports begin arriving in your inbox. If something goes wrong, we’re already on it before you even notice.
Real Businesses. Real Results.
You don’t need a full-time cybersecurity team to meet high standards. Here’s how two very different businesses are using Vanguard Watch to protect what matters most.
CASE STUDY
Government Contractor Improves SPRS Score
A small defense contractor needed to meet CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements to stay eligible for future federal contracts. With no internal security team and tight compliance deadlines, they turned to Vanguard Watch.
We handled the onboarding, provided monthly security awareness training, implemented ongoing log monitoring, and helped improve documentation around access control and incident response. Within weeks, they increased their SPRS score and reduced compliance risk—without hiring new staff or buying multiple tools.
CASE STUDY
Small Business Gains Cyber Peace of Mind
A local service business with fewer than 10 employees knew cybersecurity was important, but didn’t have the personnel or bandwidth to handle it. They weren’t chasing government contracts—just trying to avoid becoming the next ransomware headline.
With Vanguard Watch, we rolled out hands-free training for their staff, set up monitoring on their Microsoft 365 accounts, and began sending simple monthly reports. The business owner now feels confident they’re protected and supported, even without technical expertise on staff.
FAQs
Do I need to have an IT person to use VanguardWatch?
Nope. We designed VanguardWatch to work even if you don’t have an in-house IT team. We’ll walk you through granting secure access, and then we handle the setup and ongoing work for you.
What kind of training do my employees get?
Each team member receives bite-sized, monthly cybersecurity training and simulated phishing tests. It’s designed to be quick, easy to understand, and actually useful—no jargon or long boring videos.
What happens if you detect something suspicious?
If we see unusual activity—like a strange login or risky behavior—we investigate and notify you right away. In most cases, we’ll also tell you exactly what to do next, or handle it for you if it’s part of your plan.
What do you monitor?
We monitor your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts (depending on your setup), including logins, emails, and admin activity. If you’re on a higher-tier plan, we also monitor endpoints and deeper system logs.
Can you help with compliance like CMMC or NIST 800-171?
Yes! Our service is a strong foundation for compliance. We provide many of the required controls, plus documentation and training that auditors will want to see. It’s especially useful for government contractors who need to improve their SPRS scores.
Is my data secure with you?
Absolutely. We follow best practices for secure access, use industry-trusted platforms, and never share or resell your data. Your privacy and protection are our top priorities.
What kind of support do I get?
Every plan includes email support, and our higher tiers offer direct consults and faster response times. We’re a real team—not just a dashboard—and we’re always happy to help.
Is there a long-term contract?
Nope! All plans are month-to-month. Cancel or change your tier at any time. We believe in earning your trust every month—not locking you in.
