Everything You Want to Know
About Securafy — Answered.

Securafy is an award-winning Managed Service Provider (MSP), Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), and Managed GRC provider headquartered in Columbus, Ohio with offices in Independence (Cleveland). Founded through the merger of Worldlan Technology (est. 1989), One World Technology, and TOGL, Securafy brings over 35 years of compounded IT expertise under one roof. In 2024, Securafy received the Soteria Award for Most Trusted MSP in North America.

An MSP (Managed Service Provider) manages your IT infrastructure — help desk, monitoring, patching, backup. An MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) adds cybersecurity operations — SOC monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management. Securafy is both, which means your IT and security are managed by the same team under one agreement, with no finger-pointing between providers.

Three things: Prevention-First architecture (ThreatLocker Zero Trust — our clients have zero ransomware incidents), contractual guarantees no other MSP will put in writing (10-minute response, 30-day trial, 90-day exit, price guarantee), and the 2024 Soteria Award for Most Trusted MSP in North America — peer-validated, not self-declared. Most MSPs detect and respond after an attack starts. Securafy prevents attacks from executing.

Securafy has two Ohio offices: Columbus (4449 Easton Way, Suite 200, Columbus OH 43219) and Independence/Cleveland (6100 Oak Tree Blvd, Suite 200, Independence OH 44131). Securafy serves clients nationwide across all 50 states, as well as Canada, Europe, Australia, and Mexico.

ThreatLocker is an application allowlisting platform that uses a default-deny architecture. Instead of blocking known threats (like traditional antivirus), ThreatLocker blocks everything that is not explicitly approved. Unknown applications, including new ransomware variants, cannot execute regardless of whether they have been seen before. This is the architectural foundation of Securafy's zero ransomware incident record.

SOC stands for Security Operations Center. A human SOC means real analysts — not automated alert queues — monitoring your environment around the clock. Securafy's Secure-CARE and Comply-CARE tiers include ThreatLocker's Cyber Hero MDR, which provides 24/7 human-operated SOC monitoring with active threat hunting and real-time analyst communication during incidents.

EDR is a security tool that continuously monitors and records endpoint activity, detects suspicious behavior patterns, and enables rapid investigation. Unlike traditional antivirus that relies on known signatures, EDR uses behavioral analysis to catch threats even when they have never been seen before. Securafy includes EDR in all service tiers.

Yes — and Securafy is one of the very few MSPs that can make this claim verifiably. Our Prevention-First architecture uses ThreatLocker's default-deny application control, which means ransomware cannot execute because it is not on the approved application list. Securafy has zero ransomware incidents across its entire client base following onboarding. The industry average cost of ransomware recovery for a mid-market business is $1.85 million.

Dark web monitoring continuously scans criminal marketplaces, paste sites, and hacker forums for credentials associated with your domain, employees, and executives. When compromised credentials are detected, Securafy alerts you immediately so passwords can be reset before accounts are exploited. The average business without dark web monitoring doesn't discover credential compromise for 287 days — Securafy compresses that to hours.

Securafy offers three tiers priced per user per month: Essential-CARE ($95–$115), Secure-CARE ($155–$185), and Comply-CARE ($210–$260). All pricing is all-inclusive — no hidden fees, no scope creep surprises. Your monthly fee is fixed in your service agreement. The exact price depends on your user count, environment complexity, and compliance requirements. Contact us for a custom quote based on your actual environment.

Agreements are available in 3, 4, or 5-year terms. However, every agreement includes a 30-Day Risk-Free Trial before the term begins (walk away with zero invoice at any point during the trial), and a 90-Day No-Penalty Exit after the trial concludes. These guarantees mean you are never locked in against your will — Securafy earns your business every quarter.

Available on 4 and 5-year agreements, the Free Technology Rider replaces every desktop and laptop in your environment with a new system during the agreement term — fully installed and configured at no additional charge. This eliminates hardware refresh capital expenditure entirely and converts a $200,000+ capital cycle to zero incremental cost.

No. The monthly fee quoted in your service agreement is the monthly fee you pay. Securafy does not have weasel clauses, hidden exclusions, or scope creep surprises. This price guarantee is embedded in your service agreement. The only items billed separately are project work (new infrastructure builds, major migrations) and storage beyond the 1 TB included in every tier ($50/TB/month).

Securafy supports HIPAA, CMMC 2.0, GLBA/FFIEC, CJIS, PCI-DSS v4.0, SOC 2 Type II, NIST CSF 2.0, FTC Safeguards Rule, and Ohio Safe Harbor (ORC §1354). The Comply-CARE tier includes a full GRC platform, vCISO advisory, quarterly penetration testing, and continuous compliance monitoring across all required frameworks. Securafy serves banking, healthcare, legal, law enforcement, and defense manufacturing industries specifically.

The Ohio Safe Harbor Act (ORC §1354) provides an affirmative legal defense against data breach litigation for Ohio businesses that maintain a recognized cybersecurity framework. If a breach occurs, businesses that can prove they had NIST CSF 2.0 or similar controls in place receive statutory protection against certain breach-related lawsuits. Securafy's Comply-CARE tier builds and maintains this documentation specifically.

Yes. Securafy's Comply-CARE tier includes HIPAA risk analysis, technical safeguard implementation, BAA (Business Associate Agreement) execution, PHI encryption, audit logging, breach notification procedures, and HIPAA-specific security awareness training. OCR fines for HIPAA violations range from $100 to $1.9 million per violation. Securafy's managed compliance program is a fraction of that exposure.

CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is required for any company in the Department of Defense supply chain that handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If you are a DoD prime contractor or subcontractor, you likely need CMMC certification to bid on and retain DoD contracts. Securafy's Comply-CARE tier includes full CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 readiness support, SSP development, and all 110 NIST 800-171 practices implemented and documented.

Securafy offers a complimentary 47-point Network and Security Assessment for businesses considering managed IT. A Securafy engineer evaluates your current environment across 47 security, performance, and compliance criteria and delivers a prioritized remediation report. Street value: $2,500–$5,000. Delivered at no charge with no obligation. This is the recommended starting point for any new Securafy engagement.

Securafy onboarding typically completes within 30 days. During this period, our team documents your environment, installs monitoring agents, configures your security stack, sets up your CSA portal, and delivers complete written documentation of your network. The 30-day period is also your risk-free trial period — full service at no charge, with the option to walk away at zero cost.

Securafy handles the transition. When you sign your agreement, Securafy manages the offboarding from your previous provider, retrieves your documentation (which belongs to you by right), and ensures service continuity throughout the switch. Most transitions complete with zero service interruption. Securafy also offers Co-Managed IT for organizations that want to keep their internal IT team while adding Securafy's security and 24/7 coverage capabilities.
