SMB Cybersecurity Consulting

Enterprise-level security.
SMB-friendly pricing.

Continuous threat detection, real offensive testing, and automated response — for businesses that need genuine protection without an in-house security team.

01 / Services

Full-stack defense, built for SMB budgets

Threat Detection & SIEM

Logs correlated across your environment in real time. Intrusions caught as they happen, not weeks later.

WAZUH

Penetration Testing

Real attacker techniques, run against your own systems under control. Gaps found before someone else finds them.

METASPLOIT

Automation & Response

An alert becomes a containment action immediately — no waiting on a human to be available.

SHUFFLE

Deception & Honeypots

Decoy systems that attract real attacker activity — early warning before production is touched.

T-POT

Compliance & Governance

Controls mapped to the frameworks your clients and insurers ask about, in plain language.

NIST CSF / CIS

Incident Response Planning

A rehearsed plan for the bad day — who does what, in what order, before it matters.

TABLETOP
02 / Who it's for

Built for the industries that need it most

Small Healthcare Practices

Patient records are the highest-value target there is, held by the smallest teams.

Legal & Accounting Firms

Client confidentiality is the product. One breach ends the relationship.

Manufacturers

Downtime is measured in lost production. Operational tech is rarely patched.

03 / Frameworks & toolset

Built on recognized frameworks and tools

No proprietary black boxes — every service is grounded in a recognized framework, not improvised, and delivered with the same open-source tools used across the security industry.

NIST CSF

Organizes our work into Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, so priorities follow a recognized structure.

CIS Controls

Prioritized safeguards — asset inventory, secure configuration, access control — that turn strategy into hardening steps.

MITRE ATT&CK

A knowledge base of real attacker tactics, used to map our testing and detection coverage to what attackers actually do.

Tools we run day to day
Wazuh logo

Wazuh — Detection & SIEM

Open-source SIEM and XDR. Correlates logs across your environment in real time to catch intrusions, policy violations, and vulnerabilities as they happen.

Metasploit logo

Metasploit — Offensive Testing

The industry-standard penetration testing framework. Simulates real attacker techniques against your own infrastructure, under controlled conditions.

Shuffle logo

Shuffle — Security Automation

Open-source orchestration and automated response. Turns a detection alert into a containment action immediately, instead of waiting on a human.

T-Pot logo

T-Pot — Deception & Honeypots

A multi-honeypot platform deploying decoy systems to attract and study real attacker behavior, giving early warning before production is touched.

04 / Approach

How an engagement runs

Five stages. No questionnaire, no shelf-ware, no 60-page report full of jargon.

01

Discovery & Risk Assessment

A conversation, not a questionnaire — what you have, what matters, where the risk sits today.

02

Scoping & Architecture

Coverage sized to your environment and budget. Nothing sold to you because it's on a tier.

03

Deployment

Your own environment — nothing shared with, or visible to, any other client.

04

Validation

Live testing against your own defenses — proof they work, not proof the software installed.

05

Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting

Plain-language reporting on what was seen, what was blocked, where your posture is trending.

05 / About

Run by the person who does the work

No account managers relaying information. No outsourced analysts you've never spoken to. When you call, you're talking to the person who configured your detection rules and ran your last assessment.

That comes from over three decades of hands-on IT and security work — across enough different environments to know what really matters when something goes wrong versus what's just noise.

SMBs get told they need enterprise-grade security, then handed enterprise pricing to match — or nothing at all, because they weren't worth a big firm's time. That gap is the whole reason this business exists.

Building our client track record

Data-Frames is a new practice — we'd rather tell you that plainly than manufacture case studies that don't exist yet. We're also building a public demo environment so you'll eventually be able to see the underlying detection and response capability for yourself, not just take our word for it.

06 / FAQ

Common questions

We're too small to be a target, right?

This is the most common misconception in SMB security, and it's backwards — most modern attacks are automated and don't care about your size. Small businesses are frequently targeted specifically because they're assumed to have weaker defenses.

What does a security assessment actually involve?

A structured look at your current environment — network, endpoints, access controls, and any existing tooling — followed by real testing of your defenses where appropriate. You get a plain-language report of what was found and what to prioritize, not 60 pages of jargon.

How is pricing structured?

Flat monthly tiers in CAD, scoped to your environment during the discovery call. No hourly billing surprises, no long-term contract required to get started.

Do you replace our existing IT provider?

Not necessarily — Data-Frames focuses specifically on security (detection, testing, response), and works alongside whoever handles your day-to-day IT rather than requiring you to switch providers.

What's the honeypot / network-packets.com about?

It's a public demonstration environment currently in development — a deliberately exposed system designed to attract real attacker activity, so you'll be able to see actual detection and response in action rather than take a sales pitch's word for it.
