Pragmatic Security provides end-to-end managed security for Irish businesses: we advise first, then deliver. Because we are not tied to any single vendor, we recommend what genuinely fits your business — and then we handle the selection, design, procurement, implementation, and ongoing management so you don't have to.
What's included is the full delivery lifecycle across eight security domains — identity and access control, endpoint and device protection, email and communication security, network and web security, data protection and backup, detection and response, cloud and SaaS security, and risk, compliance and insurance. You get one relationship, one invoice, and no vendor lock-in: you own the licences.
How It Works
A proven five-step process that takes you from assessment to ongoing protection — with one team managing the entire journey.
Assess
We evaluate your current security posture, identify gaps, and understand your business context — size, sector, regulatory obligations, and budget.
Select
We evaluate the market and recommend the right tools for your specific needs — not the ones that pay us the highest margin.
Design
We architect the solution to fit your environment — integrations, policies, user workflows, and rollout plan — before anything is deployed.
Procure & Implement
We handle procurement, licensing, deployment, configuration, and testing. Your team gets a working solution, not a project to manage.
Manage
Ongoing monitoring, patching, policy updates, and support — so your team can focus on running the business, not managing security tools.
What We Cover
Eight security domains — covering the full stack from identity to insurance. We select, deploy, and manage the right solution in each area based on your specific needs.
Identity & Access Control
Control who accesses what — from passwords and MFA to privileged accounts and mobile devices. We deploy and manage identity solutions that enforce zero-trust principles without creating friction for your team.
Endpoint & Device Protection
Protect every laptop, phone, and server with next-generation detection and response. We select, deploy, and manage endpoint security that stops threats before they spread — and responds in real time when they do.
Email & Communication Security
Stop phishing, business email compromise, and spoofing — and train your people to spot what gets through. We implement email authentication, filtering, and awareness training as a unified programme.
Network & Web Security
Secure your perimeter, filter threats at the DNS layer, and enforce zero-trust web access. We design and manage network security that protects your business without slowing it down.
Data Protection & Backup
Discover, classify, and protect sensitive data — with tested backup and recovery that actually works when you need it. We manage the full data protection lifecycle from discovery to disaster recovery.
Detection & Response
24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and rapid incident response — without building a SOC. We provide managed detection and response that gives you enterprise-grade visibility at SME-scale cost.
Cloud & SaaS Security
Secure your Microsoft 365, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS applications. We configure, monitor, and manage cloud security so your data stays protected as you move to the cloud.
Risk, Compliance & Insurance
Continuous vulnerability scanning, compliance tracking, and cyber insurance readiness. We manage the tools that keep you compliant and insurable — and give you the evidence to prove it.
Vendor-Neutral by Design
Our advisory business is the core of what we do. When we recommend a product, it's because it genuinely fits your situation — not because of a partnership agreement or sales target. That independence is what makes our managed services different.
One Relationship: instead of juggling multiple vendor contracts, support desks, and renewal cycles, you get a single point of contact who understands your business and manages everything on your behalf — one team managing your entire security stack, one invoice with no hidden costs or surprise renewals, and no vendor lock-in because you own the licences.
- We are not tied to any single vendor or product line
- We recommend what genuinely fits your business — not what pays the highest margin
- If you already have tools that work, we'll tell you to keep them
- You own the licences — there is no lock-in to our management service
- We regularly review your stack and recommend changes when better options emerge
Who This Is For
Managed security solutions are ideal for businesses that need enterprise-grade protection but don't have the in-house team to select, deploy, and manage it.
SMEs without a dedicated IT security team
You know you need better security but don't have the staff to research, deploy, and manage the tools.
Businesses facing compliance requirements
NIS2, GDPR, Cyber Essentials, or ISO 27001 require specific technical controls — we implement and evidence them.
Companies that have been told to "fix security"
Whether it's an insurer, a client, or a board directive — we turn the requirement into a working solution.
