Swan Guard Pro is designed for schools, small businesses and organisations that want stronger cyber security without trying to manage lots of separate tools themselves.

From £13.99 per device / month ex VAT – 12-month minimum subscription

A managed cyber security package for organisations that want prevention, monitoring, response and staff awareness support in one clearer monthly cost.

This is where layered protection becomes managed protection.

✓ Trusted by schools & SMEs across Derbyshire & South Yorkshire

✓ Includes 24/7 managed detection and response

✓ 20 years’ local experience

What you are actually buying

Swan Guard Pro is not just a stack of tools. It is a managed package built to reduce risk across your devices, systems and people.

You get the protection layers needed to stop common attacks, plus 24/7 monitoring and response through Heimdal MXDR.

  • Layered endpoint protection for devices
  • Heimdal MXDR for 24/7 managed detection and response
  • Security Awareness Training, with the provider selected based on your needs and numbers
  • Ransomware resilience, patching and DNS protection options depending on your chosen setup
  • A clearer route to cyber insurance, Cyber Essentials and compliance evidence

This is the step between “we have cyber security tools” and “we have managed protection watching over us.”

What Swan Guard Pro helps protect against

  • Ransomware and malware attacks
  • Suspicious activity across devices
  • Threats that need investigation, not just alerts
  • Unpatched software and known vulnerabilities
  • Risky websites, malicious domains and unsafe links
  • Phishing and social engineering attempts
  • After-hours incidents when no one internal is watching

Who this is for

If Nest Protect and Cygnet Shield give you the layers, Swan Guard Pro adds the 24/7 managed response.

Good fit if:

  • You want layered protection and 24/7 monitoring in one package
  • You do not have an internal cyber security team watching alerts
  • You need stronger evidence for cyber insurance, Cyber Essentials or client requirements
  • You want staff awareness training included as part of the wider approach

Probably not the right fit if:

  • You only need basic antivirus
  • You want to investigate and manage alerts yourself
  • You already have a fully staffed internal security operations team
  • You are only looking for the lowest-cost option

How this fits into your cyber security journey

  • Start with Heimdal NGAV for better antivirus protection
  • Move to Nest Protect for ransomware resilience and patching
  • Choose Cygnet Shield when you also want DNS security
  • Move to Swan Guard Pro when you want 24/7 managed detection and response, plus Security Awareness Training

This gives you a clear route from basic protection to a managed cyber security service without jumping straight into enterprise complexity.

Why include Security Awareness Training?

Technology matters, but people still receive the emails, open the attachments, approve the payments and reset the passwords.

Swan Guard Pro includes Security Awareness Training so your team gets practical support alongside technical protection.

  • Helps staff spot phishing and social engineering attempts
  • Supports a stronger security culture without blaming people
  • Useful evidence for insurers, auditors and client security reviews
  • Provider selected based on your organisation’s needs, size and budget
