Quick answer. Yes. Brotherly Technology provides managed cybersecurity for small businesses in Kennesaw and across Cobb County: endpoint detection and response (EDR), multi-factor authentication (MFA), email security, firewall management, and 24/7 monitoring with real-time alerting. Email security is itemized per user, and backup is billed separately. We're based in Rome, work remote-first, and come onsite in Kennesaw when the work needs hands.
What's in every plan and what's itemized: pricing.
The attacks that actually reach Kennesaw offices
Most incidents at small businesses start with something ordinary: an email, a login, a reused password.
Phishing
A fake login page or a malicious link gets an employee to hand over a password. From there, attackers try email, shared files, and financial systems.
Business email compromise
Someone poses as a vendor, a client, or the owner and asks for a payment change or sensitive files. The message can look real because it may come from a compromised account.
Ransomware
Files get encrypted and someone demands payment to unlock them. Endpoint protection helps stop it, and tested backups, billed separately, are what get the data back.
Credential theft
Passwords stolen in old breaches get tried against your accounts. Multi-factor authentication and dark web monitoring make a stolen password much less useful and tell you when one turns up.
How we work: assess, strengthen, monitor
Our cybersecurity services follow a clear process, so the work stays on the controls that matter most for your office.
Assess
We start with vulnerability scans, dark web checks, and a practical risk analysis. You get a prioritized plan that shows where access, devices, data, and recovery need attention.
Strengthen
We put access controls, endpoint protection, firewall management, and email security in place, plus whatever other safeguards your environment needs.
Monitor and respond
Continuous monitoring and real-time alerting run on covered systems. Reporting and ongoing training keep your team informed, and a response plan makes the next steps clear when something needs attention.
The layers we put in place
Protection should cover the everyday moments where risk shows up: signing in, opening email, using a laptop, sharing files, and recovering from a bad day. Which layers you need is scoped to your environment, and email and identity security is itemized per user.
People and access
Multi-factor authentication, phishing and malicious-link protection, spoofing prevention, and secure email archiving. Security training and simulated phishing help staff spot what gets past the filters.
Devices
Endpoint detection and response (EDR), anti-virus and anti-malware, anti-ransomware protection, behavioral monitoring, and sandbox analysis on covered machines.
Network
Firewall management with intrusion detection and prevention, deep packet inspection, and web and application filtering at the edge of your network.
Data
Data loss prevention, hard drive encryption, and continuous dark web scanning for stolen credentials and business data.
Recovery
Tested backups are what make ransomware survivable. We set them up through backup and disaster recovery, which is billed separately from your plan.
What every plan covers, and what is scoped separately
Every Brotherly plan, from Brotherly Protect to Remote IT Core and Complete Managed IT, includes 24/7 PC health monitoring, patch management, managed endpoint protection, and dark-web credential alerts. That is the security baseline for a Kennesaw office.
Email and identity security is a separate per-user service: advanced phishing protection, account monitoring, MFA administration, and security-awareness tools. Backup is billed separately, because storage and retention vary from one business to the next. Formal risk assessments, written policies, staff training, and documentation are scoped and quoted on their own. "24/7" means monitoring, not the help desk. Each item shows up as its own line on your quote, and the details are on pricing.
Compliance without the fear tactics
We help Kennesaw businesses with the technology side of HIPAA, PCI DSS, and the FTC Safeguards Rule: encryption, access controls, MFA, endpoint protection, firewall management, and monitoring.
- HIPAA: for medical and dental practices handling protected health information.
- PCI DSS: for shops, restaurants, and service businesses that take card payments.
- FTC Safeguards Rule: for auto dealers, tax preparers, lenders, and other financial services businesses.
This is technical readiness work. Formal risk assessments, written policies, staff training, and audit-ready documentation are scoped separately. It is not legal advice, it does not replace your compliance counsel, and no IT provider can guarantee compliance.
Who we protect in Kennesaw
Professional and financial services
Firms handling confidential client files and financial data need named access, MFA, and encrypted communication. Lenders, tax preparers, and auto dealers also have FTC Safeguards Rule obligations.
Medical and dental practices
PHI access controls, encrypted communication, and HIPAA-focused safeguards. See our healthcare and dental practice pages.
Retail and service businesses that take cards
Unique staff accounts and network segmentation that keeps card systems off the guest Wi-Fi, in line with PCI DSS.
Manufacturers, engineering firms and exhibit shops
Design files stay behind named access, and partner accounts expire when the job ends. See manufacturing, engineering, and exhibit fabrication.
Growing businesses across Cobb County
One security baseline that carries over as you add staff, devices, or a second location, instead of catching up after an incident.
Security that travels with your people
Work doesn't stay inside one office. We help hybrid and remote teams connect securely with cloud solutions, VPN access, and remote support, so working from home doesn't mean working around security.
Laptops that leave the office get unique accounts and MFA on Microsoft 365 and remote tools. You also get plain-English reporting on what is protected and what needs attention.

Cybersecurity questions from Kennesaw businesses
Do you provide managed cybersecurity for small businesses in Kennesaw, Georgia?
Yes. We provide managed cybersecurity for small businesses in Kennesaw and across Cobb County, Georgia. The service layers endpoint detection and response (EDR), multi-factor authentication (MFA), firewall management, and 24/7 monitoring with real-time alerting on covered systems, applied through our cybersecurity services. Email security is itemized per user, and backup is billed separately. We work remote-first from our Rome headquarters and come onsite in Kennesaw when the work needs hands.
What is included in managed cybersecurity, and what is scoped separately?
Every plan, including Brotherly Protect, includes 24/7 PC health monitoring, patch management, managed endpoint protection, and dark-web credential alerts. Email and identity security (advanced phishing protection, account monitoring, MFA administration, and security-awareness tools) is a separate per-user service. Backup and disaster recovery is billed separately. Formal risk assessments, written policies, staff training, and audit-ready documentation are scoped and quoted on their own. Each line item is listed on pricing.
What happens if ransomware or a phishing email gets through?
Endpoint detection and response is designed to flag and contain suspicious behavior before it spreads, monitoring and real-time alerting help surface problems early, and a response plan makes the next steps clear. MFA makes a stolen password far less useful on its own. Getting your data back depends on tested backups, which we set up as a separate backup and disaster recovery service, billed separately from your plan.
How fast do you respond to a security issue in Kennesaw?
Business-hours remote response is typically under 15 minutes. The guaranteed response SLA applies to Complete Managed IT only and covers acknowledgment and the start of triage, not resolution. Monitoring and alerting run 24/7; the help desk works business hours, and after-hours work is quoted separately. When a security issue needs hands, we come onsite in Kennesaw, with same-day onsite when urgency warrants. Details are on pricing.
Which compliance rules do you help Kennesaw businesses with?
Three: HIPAA for medical and dental practices, PCI DSS for businesses that take card payments, and the FTC Safeguards Rule for financial services businesses such as auto dealers, tax preparers, and lenders. We put the technical safeguards in place, and formal risk assessments, written policies, staff training, and audit-ready documentation are scoped separately. This is not legal advice, and no IT provider can guarantee compliance.
How does a cybersecurity engagement start?
With an assessment: vulnerability scans, dark web checks, and a practical risk review. That becomes a prioritized plan. Then we strengthen what needs it, such as access controls, endpoint protection, firewall management, and email security, and keep it monitored with plain-English reporting. If you already have an IT provider, we review the current setup first and plan the handoff.
