Heimdal Next-Generation Antivirus

Need better antivirus without jumping straight to expensive cyber security tools?

Heimdal Next-Generation Antivirus gives small businesses, schools and academies a stronger first layer of protection without overcomplicating things.

It helps stop malware, ransomware and suspicious activity before they cause damage – quietly, affordably and without needing a full internal cyber security team.


From £2.25 per device / month ex VAT · 12-month minimum subscription

A sensible starting point for organisations that need stronger protection than basic antivirus, but are not ready for a fully managed EDR service yet. Education pricing and volume discounts available for schools, MATs and organisations with larger device counts.

Heimdal NGAV is a cost-effective way to improve endpoint protection and support your wider Cyber Essentials, GDPR, cyber insurance and DfE-aligned security position.

Start with a stronger first layer, then scale up when you need to.

✓ Trusted by schools & SMEs across Derbyshire & South Yorkshire

✓ Heimdal security partner

✓ 20 years’ local experience

What you are actually buying

You are not just buying another antivirus licence.

You are buying a smarter, more modern first layer of endpoint protection for your devices – one that helps spot malware and emerging threats before they turn into bigger problems.

  • Next-generation antivirus protection for laptops, desktops and supported endpoints
  • Threat detection designed to go beyond basic signature-based antivirus
  • A practical entry point for schools, SMEs and smaller organisations
  • A clear upgrade path into wider managed cyber security protection

This is the gap between “we have antivirus installed” and “we have taken a better first step towards proper endpoint protection.”

What Heimdal NGAV helps protect against

  • Known malware and viruses
  • Suspicious files and processes
  • Ransomware-style behaviour
  • Threats that basic antivirus may struggle to catch
  • Early-stage endpoint compromise

Who this is for

Not every organisation needs full managed EDR straight away — here’s a quick way to tell.

Good fit if:

  • You want stronger antivirus protection at a sensible monthly cost
  • You are a school, academy, charity or small business working to a tight budget
  • You need a better first layer of defence before moving into wider protection
  • You want to support Cyber Essentials, GDPR, DfE or cyber insurance expectations

Probably not the right fit if:

  • You need 24/7 human-led threat investigation and response
  • You want managed EDR with analysts reviewing suspicious activity
  • You already have a fully managed endpoint detection and response service
  • You only need short-term or monthly protection

How this fits into a layered security approach

Heimdal NGAV is a strong starting point, but it should not be your only cyber security control.

We usually see it as the foundation layer for organisations that want to improve protection gradually without jumping straight into a larger managed package.

  • Start with Heimdal NGAV for stronger endpoint protection
  • Add patch management to reduce known software weaknesses
  • Add ransomware encryption protection for stronger resilience
  • Move into Nest Protect, Cygnet Shield or wider managed protection when you are ready

Common questions

Is Heimdal NGAV the same as managed EDR?
No. Heimdal NGAV is next-generation antivirus. It gives you stronger endpoint protection, but it does not provide the same 24/7 human-led threat investigation and response as a managed EDR service.

Is this better than basic antivirus?
Yes. Heimdal NGAV is designed to provide more advanced threat detection than traditional antivirus tools that rely heavily on known signatures.

Is this suitable for schools?
Yes. Heimdal NGAV is a good fit for schools and academies that need stronger protection while keeping costs realistic.

Does this help with Cyber Essentials?
Yes. It can support your wider Cyber Essentials position by helping demonstrate that endpoint malware protection is in place.

Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Heimdal NGAV can form part of a wider layered security setup, including patch management, ransomware encryption protection and managed cyber security packages.

Can I cancel after one month?
No. This is a 12-month minimum subscription. If you are unsure, speak to us before ordering.
