A sensible first step
Start with the facts.
A Western Edge assessment shows what is configured well, where risk is building, and what to address first. Microsoft is our deepest platform strength, but the review accounts for the broader security stack around it.

Common questions
Before we talk.
Still unsure whether the fit is right? Start with a short conversation. There is no charge for the initial call.
Do you replace our MSP or IT provider?
No. Western Edge focuses on security architecture, configuration, risk, and remediation. We regularly work alongside MSPs and internal IT teams.
Are you a Microsoft-only consultancy?
No. Microsoft is our deepest platform specialty, and many clients rely heavily on Microsoft 365 and Azure. Our work also draws on experience across SIEM, XDR, endpoint, identity, network security, and cloud platforms. Recommendations consider the full environment.
Will the assessment disrupt our users?
Most assessment work is read-only and completed in the administrative environment. Any change that could affect users is discussed and approved before implementation.
Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?
Yes. We can review technical controls, explain gaps, produce remediation priorities, and help implement security changes tied to an insurer's requirements.
Do you provide 24/7 monitoring or incident response?
Western Edge is not a 24/7 SOC or emergency incident response firm. We help select, configure, and improve the security controls that support those functions.
