Comprehensive Protection for the Modern Business Landscape
In an era where cyber threats evolve daily, generic security measures are no longer sufficient. Whether you are a small medical practice in St. Louis, a growing manufacturing firm in Central Illinois, or a large enterprise in Chicago, your data, reputation, and operational continuity are under constant siege.
Computerease provides more than just software; we deliver a holistic, defense-in-depth cybersecurity strategy. Our security solutions are designed by Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP), our team integrates enterprise-grade technology with 24/7 human intelligence to stop breaches before they start.
We don’t just close gaps; we build resilience.
One size does not fit all in cybersecurity. A local law firm has different needs than a multinational logistics company. We have structured our offerings to provide the right level of protection for your organization.
Small businesses are often the most vulnerable because hackers assume they lack defenses and small business owners assume they are not at risk and don’t need protection. You need a solution that is affordable, effective, and easy to manage. Our small business plans are designed for organizations with 1 – 150 computers.
When you have a hundred or more computers you might have an internal IT Team. Often that internal IT team is busy “keeping the lights on”. They likely lack the bandwidth or specialized tools to hunt for threats 24/7. We act as a force multiplier.
Security isn’t about buying the most expensive tool; it’s about having a plan. Computerease aligns its cybersecurity services with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls (v8.1). This globally recognized framework provides a prioritized path to improving your security posture, ensuring we focus on the actions that offer the highest defense value against the most common attacks.
The CIS Framework is the gold standard for effective cyber defense. It moves beyond abstract compliance to actionable, technical controls that stop attacks. It is divided into three “Implementation Groups” (IGs), allowing us to tailor our security strategy to your specific size and risk profile.
By aligning our solutions with the CIS Framework, we ensure you aren’t just “installing antivirus”—you are building a mature, verifiable security program that reduces risk and satisfies cyber insurance requirements.
Your employees are vital to the overall defense of your business against cyber threats. Trained and aware employees are less likely to prove a danger to your infrastructure.
Stay informed about the health of your security network. Industries with compliance requirements must perform assessments every 12-18 months.
The health of each device in your network matters. With WFH models, our 24/7 threats protection ensures that there is security for each endpoint, server, and resource in your network.
When a data breach occurs, the most important thing is to have an action plan in place. Being able to take a measured and prepared response saves your business time and money as operations return to normal.
Encrypted email settings help filter through pesky phishing attacks, spam, and other methods used by cybercriminals.
The cybersecurity landscape is ever evolving. Staying up to date with the latest threats allows your business to plan ahead and better understand the demands of preventing a breach.
Privacy requirements vary across industries, with developments and changes coming every day. Staying ahead and aware of these changes protects businesses from complex compliance requirements.
Virtual Cybersecurity consulting gives businesses of varying sizes access to executive-level strategic planning for their security infrastructures.
We aren’t a faceless equity-backed firm. We are a second-generation, family-owned business deeply rooted in the St. Louis and Chicago communities. We treat your business with the same care we treat our own.
Our security strategy is architected by Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP). This is the highest standard of certification in the industry, ensuring your defense is built on deep technical knowledge and risk management principles, not just sales tactics.
We speak the language of compliance. Whether you are a DoD contractor needing CMMC certification, a healthcare provider needing HIPAA assurance, or a SaaS company pursuing SOC2, we have the expertise to get you across the finish line.
We offer a complete suite of managed cybersecurity services designed to protect every layer of your IT environment—from the endpoint to the cloud.
Real-Time Threat Intelligence & Log Management.
Your network generates millions of data points every day. Buried in that noise are the signals of an attack. Our Managed SIEM collects logs from every device in your network—firewalls, servers, PCs, and cloud apps—and analyzes them in real-time to detect anomalies.
Stopping Ransomware in Its Tracks.
Traditional antivirus is dead. It relies on “signatures” of known viruses. Modern hackers use “fileless” attacks and trusted system tools (like PowerShell) to bypass antivirus. Managed EDR doesn’t just look at files; it looks at behavior.
Human Eyes on Glass, 24/7/365.
Tools are useless without experts to watch them. Our Managed SOC is staffed by security analysts who monitor your environment 24 hours a day. They validate alerts, filter out false positives, and take immediate action when a threat is confirmed.
The Fortress Wall for Your Network.
Your firewall is the gateway to your business. But a firewall that isn’t updated, patched, and monitored is a liability. Managed Firewall services ensure your perimeter is impenetrable.
Secure Remote Access for the Work-From-Anywhere Era.
The days of the “castle-and-moat” security model are over. Your employees are working from coffee shops, homes, and hotels. Traditional VPNs are clunky and insecure (once you’re in, you have access to everything). SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and ZTNA replace the VPN with a cloud-native security model.
Locking Down Your Cloud Workspace.
Microsoft 365 is the most targeted platform in the world. Phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), and account takeovers happen daily. Sentinel for Microsoft 365 integrates with your Microsoft 365 tenant to monitor your cloud environment.
The Single Most Effective Security Control.
If you do nothing else, implement MFA. Passwords are easily stolen or guessed. MFA ensures that even if a hacker has your password, they cannot access your account without a second form of verification.
Testing Your Defenses Before the Hackers Do.
How do you know your security works? You test it. Penetration Testing involves ethical hacking attempts to break into your network to find weaknesses.
Expertise on Demand for Your Internal Team.
For organizations with an internal IT department, we offer Co-Managed Cybersecurity. We don’t replace your team; we equip them.
I have been with Computerease for many years. They have a great team of I.T. techs, whether it is on the phone or coming to my office. They are fast and efficient.
We are a small business and have been a Computerease client for years. I highly recommend their services for large and small firms. Always extremely efficient with their response times and very knowledgeable on all things computers/systems!
I have to say, these guys and girls are the BEST! They are there for every question and issue, always with the perfect resolution. We reach out to them often just exploring options with our systems. Computerease always makes our lives easier! We love them!!
Deep knowledge of systems hardware, Microsoft OS and many software platforms. Very responsive when we have issues. Computerease never leaves us hanging. A true partner for a company like ours that does not have in-house IT support. I give them my highest recommendation.
Dan was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful — hands down the easiest laptop transition I’ve had in over 20 years! I was able to work all day while he handled everything, and he also got our conference room tech running smoothly. Everything feels easier and better than our old setup — the Computerease team is really good.

Computerease – Your Trusted Cyber Defense Partner in St. Louis, Chicago, and Nationwide.
The cost of managed cybersecurity is not one-size-fits-all, which is why we build affordable, scalable programs tailored to your specific needs and budget. We protect businesses with as few as one employee up to organizations with 1,000 users. Our goal is to provide enterprise-grade protection that is cost-effective for businesses of any size, from a solo attorney to a growing medical practice. The best way to get an accurate price is to schedule a quick, no-pressure call with our team.
Yes, absolutely. Cybercriminals view small businesses as prime targets precisely because they often lack robust security defenses. Attackers use automated tools to find vulnerabilities, and it doesn’t matter if you have five employees or five thousand. A single ransomware attack or data breach can be devastating. We believe every business deserves protection, which is why our turnkey security solutions are designed to give you comprehensive defense.
The difference is in how we partner with you.
MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider): This is our turnkey solution, perfect for SMBs without a dedicated internal security team. We manage your entire security program—from the firewall to endpoint protection—so you can focus on your business.
Co-Managed Security: This is a collaborative approach for larger organizations that already have an IT or security team. We act as an extension of your team, filling the gaps where you need specific expertise or resources, like 24/7 SOC monitoring or advanced compliance support.
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is your 24/7/365 defense team. Threats don’t stop after business hours, and automated attacks can strike at any time. For a small business, having a managed SOC service means our expert team is always watching, ready to detect and respond to threats before they can cause damage. It’s the most effective way to ensure your business is protected around the clock without having to hire your own team of analysts.
We help businesses move away from legacy SSLVPNs, which have become frequent targets for attackers, to a more secure model called SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). Instead of creating a wide-open tunnel into your network, SASE creates a secure, software-defined perimeter. It provides a “VPN-like” experience for your remote users by granting them secure access only to the specific applications they need, drastically reducing your attack surface and improving security.
Navigating cyber insurance applications can be tricky. We provide cyber insurance self-assessment help to ensure you answer questionnaires accurately, preventing potential claim denials due to misstatements. Furthermore, our CISSP-designed security programs are built to meet the stringent requirements of insurers, ensuring you have the necessary protections like MFA, EDR, and backups in place to qualify for coverage and maintain compliance.
We serve a wide range of clients—from solo professionals and small medical practices to law firms, manufacturers, and enterprises with hundreds of users. Our solutions are fully scalable to meet the needs of any organization.
Absolutely. We provide ongoing security awareness training to educate your team on phishing, social engineering, and best practices, helping to reduce your human risk factor and keep your business secure.
Yes. Our compliance services cover major standards including HIPAA, SOC2, PCI, CMMC, and more. We can support everything from assessment to documentation and ongoing compliance monitoring.
If a threat or breach is detected, our 24x7x365 SOC team responds immediately to contain, remediate, and recover. We handle the technical details so you can focus on running your business, and we help with communication and reporting as needed.
Our managed services are fully turnkey. We handle all the onboarding, configuration, and day-to-day management, so you don’t have to spend valuable time getting up to speed. You get protection on day one—no long setup process.
Yes. We secure Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cloud servers, and traditional on-premises IT infrastructure, ensuring complete protection wherever your data and users are.
Depending on the services needed, many SMBs can be onboarded within days. We’ll work with your schedule and priorities to ensure minimal disruption and maximum protection from day one.
