WHAT WE DO
A strong security baseline for the tools you already own.
We help small organizations get to a solid cybersecurity baseline – without asking you to switch platforms or juggle another dashboard. You stay on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace; we make them safer.
We configure your existing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment securely, verify that your PCs and Macs are updating and protected, and give you a simple summary of what changed – in plain English.
Everything we do uses built-in features you already pay for: no surprise licenses, no new software contracts, and no pressure to “upgrade” into something you don’t need.

DESIGNED FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
You don’t need an internal IT department.
We work best with organizations that:
- Use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace as their main email & productivity platform.
- Have 1–50 people and limited or part-time IT support.
- Want to reduce risk without turning security into a full-time job.
If that sounds like you, a quick discovery call is usually all it takes to see if we’re a fit.
A solid baseline, delivered in days.
One focused project can dramatically improve your risk posture – especially if you’ve never had a dedicated security review before.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why small businesses choose Base Layer Security.
Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Our job is to give you a strong, sensible baseline – and the confidence that you’re no longer ignoring the obvious gaps.
PRACTICAL
You keep your existing systems – we secure them.
No rip-and-replace projects or surprise software pitches. We work inside the tools you already use all day: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, plus the devices your team already has.
PREDICTABLE
Fixed pricing for smaller organizations.
Clear, one-time pricing bands based on user count. No long-term contracts, no hourly guessing, and no invoices that feel like they came out of nowhere.
HUMAN
Plain-English explanations, not jargon.
We translate security changes into normal language, so owners and managers can actually understand what improved and why it matters – without needing an alphabet soup of acronyms.
FAQ
Questions we hear from small business owners.
If you’re using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and haven’t intentionally configured security before, this is built for you.
For our baseline package, no. We focus on securing your existing cloud tenant and using built-in protections on your devices. Optional add-ons like password managers can involve new tools – but only if you choose them.
Most changes happen in the background. We schedule MFA rollouts and key updates to avoid surprises and provide simple instructions for your team so sign-ins remain smooth.
Absolutely. We’re happy to coordinate with your existing IT vendor or internal team. Base Layer works well as a focused security layer on top of existing general IT support.
Our packages are built for organizations of up to 50 people. We’ll provide custom pricing and scope during your discovery call based on your user count and risk profile.
Security is never “done,” but having a hardened tenant, MFA, tuned filters, and basic device protections puts you well ahead of many small businesses. From there, we can discuss next-level options if needed.
Start with a free 20-minute call. We’ll ask a few questions about your business, tools, and team – and tell you clearly whether our baseline package is a good fit.
