Nest Protect is designed for schools, small businesses and organisations that need more than basic protection, but are not ready for a full enterprise-level cyber security setup.
It brings together three practical layers of protection into one manageable package: Heimdal NGAV, Ransomware Encryption Protection and Patch & Asset Management.
From £3.99 per device / month ex VAT – 12-month minimum subscription
A practical next step for organisations that want stronger endpoint protection, ransomware resilience and patch management without adding unnecessary complexity.
This is where “we’ve got antivirus” becomes “we’ve got a stronger foundation.”
✓ Trusted by schools & SMEs across Derbyshire & South Yorkshire
✓ Built using proven Heimdal security tools
✓ 20 years’ local experience
Nest Protect is not a single tool. It is a carefully selected set of security layers that work together.
Instead of trying to piece things together yourself, you get a joined-up approach that improves protection across your devices and helps reduce common security gaps.
Keeping systems patched is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of cyber security. Nest Protect helps reduce risk by addressing known weaknesses rather than leaving them open.
This is the step between “basic protection” and “fully managed cyber security.”
If Heimdal NGAV feels like a starting point, this is the next step up.
This gives you a clear path to stronger protection without needing to jump straight into complex solutions.
Nest Protect gives you stronger layered protection. But some organisations want more than just tools. They want someone actively watching and responding.
That’s where Swan Guard Pro comes in.
Swan Guard Pro includes everything in Nest Protect or Cygnet Shield, and adds Heimdal MXDR, giving you 24/7 managed detection and response on top of your security stack.
Simple way to think about it:
Nest Protect = stronger protection, patching and ransomware resilience
Cygnet Shield = more advanced protection and compliance support
Swan Guard Pro = protection + 24/7 monitoring and response
No long project. No unnecessary disruption. Just a practical upgrade to your protection.
Not every organisation needs the same level of protection.
If you are unsure whether Nest Protect is the right fit, or whether you should go straight to a more advanced package, we can help you decide.
What is included in Nest Protect?
Nest Protect includes Heimdal NGAV, Ransomware Encryption Protection and Patch & Asset Management.
Is this better than antivirus alone?
Yes. Nest Protect builds on antivirus by adding ransomware protection and patch management, reducing gaps that attackers often exploit.
Why is patch management important?
Many cyber attacks target known weaknesses in outdated software. Keeping systems up to date closes those gaps and reduces the chances of a successful attack.
Is this suitable for schools?
Yes. It is designed with schools and budget-conscious organisations in mind.
Does this help with Cyber Essentials?
Yes. It supports a more structured approach to security, which aligns well with Cyber Essentials and similar requirements.
Is Swan Guard Pro an add-on to Nest Protect?
No. Swan Guard Pro is the next level up. It includes everything in Nest Protect or Cygnet Shield and adds Heimdal MXDR for 24/7 managed detection and response.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Nest Protect sits in the middle of your security journey, with clear upgrade paths to Cygnet Shield or Swan Guard Pro.
Can I cancel after one month?
No. This is a 12-month minimum subscription. If you are unsure, speak to us before ordering.
If you know what you need, you can go ahead and subscribe.
