Real, Hands-On Security That Matters
You don’t need another compliance checklist.
You need visibility, detection, and protection that actually work.

Why Protagonist
Protagonist’s Cybersecurity Posture Essentials gives you full control over your security – from incidents and vulnerabilities to misconfigurations – without hiring a team or buying tools.
The Problem
The Fast-Growing SaaS CTO
The Post-Breach Panis
The Regulated SMB
The Fast-Growing SaaS CTO
We’re growing fast — more code, more cloud, more people.
Somewhere we lost visibility into what’s actually secure.
Our biggest client demands a 24-hour incident
response SLA.
But we don’t detect incidents proactively —
we stumble into them.
Engineers who aren’t security experts scramble to react.
We’ve got a solution!
We designed CPE specifically for this problem: practical security operations that deliver results in weeks, not months.
No hiring. No long implementations.
The problem isn’t that you don’t care about security. The problem is you don’t have dedicated and experienced security to practically protect you.
The Post-Breach Panis
Our competitor just got breached.
Same stack. Same misconfigurations. Same blind spots.
Now everyone’s asking: ‘Are you safe?’
And honestly?
We have no idea.
We’ve got a solution!
We designed CPE specifically for this problem: practical security operations that deliver results in weeks, not months.
No hiring. No long implementations.
The problem isn’t that you don’t care about security. The problem is you don’t have dedicated and experienced security to practically protect you.
The Regulated SMB
We handle patient data. Insurance wants proof of controls.
Our biggest client sent a 40-page security questionnaire.
Our IT guy just quit.
We can’t afford to spend months and tens of thousands on a security team.
But we also can’t afford to lose our business.

Why This Matters Now
Your Infrastructure Outgrew Your Visibility
The pattern we see
Cloud environments that started simple now span multiple accounts and regions. Access controls that made sense with 5 engineers break down with 50. Monitoring that worked for one product doesn’t cover three.
Meanwhile, no one’s job is to watch what’s actually happening. DevOps fixes what breaks. Engineers ship features. Security tasks wait until something forces action.
The gap keeps growing
More code. More dependencies. More attack surface. Less visibility into what’s actually secure.
And security pulls focus from what actually matters
For growing companies, the critical questions are product-market fit, positioning, and customer value. These need your full attention. Security is a distraction you can’t ignore – but also can’t afford to own.
That’s where we come in.
Our Solution
The most essential security functions – for a fraction of the cost.
Operational in two weeks. Without security on paper.
Cybersecurity Posture Essentials
Protagonist operates as your security team
Not a consultant who writes reports and disappears
Not a tool that generates alerts you can’t act on
Not a six-month implementation project
Protagonist is your embedded security team
We monitor your infrastructure
We detect threats
We respond to incidents
We fix vulnerabilities
How It Works
Phase 1
Week 1
Free Security Roadmap Workshop
Before you commit, we identify your biggest risks.
We map:
Which systems need monitoring most urgently
How to test your security posture effectively
Where your team needs security awareness training
Clear implementation roadmap with priorities
You get a practical plan – not a sales pitch.
Phase 2
Weeks 2–3
Deploy Core Protection
We set up your security operations foundation:
Monitoring Infrastructure
Cloud, endpoints, and operational tools – we deploy detection across your critical systems.
Initial Security Assessment
First vulnerability scan and threat detection. You see exactly where you stand.
Team Training Begins
Your engineers and employees start learning practical security – real scenarios, not compliance theater.
Practical results in 2 weeks: monitoring, alerts, protection.
Phase 3
Ongoing
Security as a Continuous Process
Security isn’t a one-time project. It’s ongoing operations.
Continuous Monitoring
Ongoing threat detection across your infrastructure. We watch what’s happening in real time and tailor coverage to keep your critical assets under watch.
Incident Response
Every security event gets investigated and contained. We act the moment it happens.
Regular Security
Ongoing vulnerability testing and assessments. We find weaknesses before attackers do.
Ongoing Awareness Training
Your team continuously improves – learning to spot phishing, handle secrets properly, and avoid common mistakes.
Security becomes a process, not a panic.
What Changes
Before Protagonist
No dedicated monitoring. Incidents noticed late or by accident
Unknown exposure and weak points
No visibility into cloud risks
Firefighting after incidents
Limited visibility, unknown risks, ad-hoc monitoring
Low awareness, inconsistent practices
Months to hire people, tools and build processes
After Protagonist
Continuous detection & response across endpoints, cloud/infra, and critical tools
Clear understanding of risks, vulnerabilities, and top priorities based on their severity
Full cloud posture monitoring
Proactive threat detection, defined incident workflow, triage, response playbooks, and support
Centralized visibility, clear metrics, continuous monitoring and reporting
Regular education, guidance, and practical scenarios improving team behavior
Practical outcomes in two weeks.
What This Means
For You
If you’re a CEO or Founder
You regain visibility into your security – like when your team was 10 people. You can confidently answer partner questions because you actually know what’s protected and what’s being monitored.
If you’re running a regulated SMB
You meet compliance requirements. You pass audits. You keep your insurance and get better offers. You don’t lose contracts over missing security controls.
Pricing
From $2,500/Month
What you get:
Continuous monitoring & incident response
Vulnerability management
Cloud security posture management
Security awareness training
Remediation support
Compliance support
Compare that to hiring:
Security Engineer: $12,500/month (salary only)
Security tools: $4,000+/month
Training and certifications: $2,000+/month
With Protagonist, you get a full team for less than one hire. Custom packages available for companies with complex infrastructure or specific compliance needs (ISO, HIPAA, SOC 2).
