Why Choosing a Boutique Cybersecurity Partner Beats a Generic MSP, MSSP, or Automated Tool
In today’s threat landscape, every business is being told they need cybersecurity. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer to “take care of IT and security.” Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) sell 24×7 monitoring and alerts. Automated tools promise a quick scorecard that tells you how secure—or insecure—you are.
So why choose Redeemer Cyber instead? Because none of those approaches are designed to deliver what you actually need: non-invasive, expert-led and thorough Microsoft 365–specific risk reduction.
The Problem With MSPs
MSPs are great for keeping the lights on—patching servers, resetting passwords, setting up laptops. But when it comes to security, most MSPs:
Deliver “checkbox security” (turning on baseline features without tailoring to your business).
Lack cloud-native specialization (they grew up managing on-prem servers).
Face conflicts of interest: if they configure it, should they really be the ones assessing it?
MSPs keep things running. Redeemer Cyber makes sure those things are running securely.
The Problem With MSSPs
MSSPs advertise 24×7 monitoring, dashboards, and alerting. But alerts don’t equal outcomes.
They notify you of threats but often stop short of fixing the root causes.
Their services are built for scale, not personalization—your tenant becomes “one more log source.”
They don’t sit down and harden your Microsoft 365 environment against CIS M365 benchmarks by default.
MSSPs watch. Redeemer Cyber hardens.
The Problem With Automated Assessment Tools
Tools promise fast, cheap, automated reports. But:
They cover a fraction of the controls that matter.
They generate generic, often outdated guidance.
They leave you with a list of problems—but not the expertise to fix them.
Automated tools check. Redeemer Cyber fixes without interrupting your business.
The Redeemer Cyber Advantage
Redeemer Cyber exists to solve the gap between IT generalists, alert factories, and point-in-time tools. Our difference comes down to five things:
Depth, speed, and expertise
With only 2 hours of your time, we deliver an assessment of 154+ CIS + Redeemer controls—far more than our competitors. Every tenant gets a 100-page deliverable with residual risk scoring, severity rating, and a roadmap. We also include a free remediation tracker.
Hands-On Remediation
With an assessment, we tell you what your gaps are. With remediation, we quickly fix those gaps without negatively impacting your business. Unlike others who stop at reporting, we roll up our sleeves and do the hard work.
Ongoing Support, Not Just a Report
We include extended remediation support during the engagement and 30 days after. If you want more, you can subscribe to an extended support plan that keeps us on call for months. And if you’re ever breached, we can provide initial incident response hours immediately—well before your cyber insurer’s preferred IR team can even mobilize.
Benchmark Leadership
Redeemer Cyber’s founder is one of only ~15 professionals officially credited in the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark. We don’t just follow the standard—we help write it.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Small organizations get enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade price tags. Clear tiers. No surprise fees. Discounts for bundles and recurring service plans.
The Bottom Line
An MSP will keep your systems running.
An MSSP will tell you when something looks wrong.
An automated tool will give you a shallow scorecard.
But only Redeemer Cyber will assess, fix, and continuously improve your Microsoft 365 environment using the same standards governments and Fortune 500s rely on—delivered at a scale and price that works for small and mid-sized organizations.
That’s the Redeemer Cyber Advantage.
Your Path to a Secure Microsoft 365 Environment
Assess
Uncover your real security posture with a 154+ control assessment mapped to the CIS Microsoft 365 Benchmark. Get a clear, prioritized roadmap—not just a scorecard.
Remediate
Close the gaps quickly and effectively. From Conditional Access to Defender tuning, I implement fixes that improve security without disrupting your business.
Maintain
Security isn’t one-and-done. With 30 days of post-remediation support (and ongoing subscription options), you stay protected long after the project ends. And if a breach occurs, I can provide initial incident response hours immediately—bridging the gap until your insurer’s IR team arrives.
👉 Don’t settle for checklists, alerts, or automated tools. Redeemer Cyber assesses, remediates, and maintains—so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
