What’s in an MSP Stack? A Look Behind the Curtain at How We Protect You

Written By Anthony Parsons

When you trust an MSP (Managed Service Provider) to handle your IT, you’re not just hiring a team — you’re also relying on the technology stack behind the scenes that powers everything we do.

At Beyond, we believe in transparency. You deserve to know what tools we use, why we chose them, and how they help protect your business every day.

Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.

Why the Stack Matters

Think of our MSP stack as your IT security system, productivity suite, and emergency response plan rolled into one.

Each tool in our stack is selected to:

  • Improve performance and reliability

  • Boost security and resilience

  • Provide visibility and control

  • Ensure compliance and accountability

  • Deliver rapid response when something goes wrong

And most importantly — they all work together, seamlessly.

Key Components of the Beyond MSP Stack

1. Remote Monitoring & Management (RMM)

We use a powerful RMM platform to:

  • Monitor your devices 24/7

  • Detect issues before they impact you

  • Deploy updates and patches

  • Automate maintenance tasks

It’s how we keep your systems healthy without disruption.

2. Endpoint Protection & EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)

Modern threats require modern protection. We deploy advanced endpoint security tools that:

  • Detect ransomware and zero-day threats

  • Use AI and behavioral analysis

  • Automatically isolate infected machines

  • Provide forensic data for investigation

It’s your first line of defence — and it’s constantly evolving.

3. Patch Management

Unpatched systems are one of the biggest cybersecurity risks. Our patching platform:

  • Tracks and manages updates across your environment

  • Automatically applies approved updates

  • Provides reporting to show compliance

This aligns directly with the Cyber Essentials framework’s core requirements.

4. Backup & Disaster Recovery

We don’t just back up your data — we plan for recovery. Our BDR solution:

  • Performs encrypted, off-site backups

  • Enables fast restore of files, systems, or entire environments

  • Offers ransomware protection with immutable backups

If disaster strikes, we’re ready — with minimal downtime.

5. Security Awareness Training

Your people are your biggest risk and your greatest defence. We provide:

  • Interactive training modules

  • Monthly phishing simulations

  • Progress tracking and reports

Helping you build a security-first culture.

6. Email Security & Spam Filtering

We filter out threats before they hit your inbox, with:

  • Advanced spam filtering

  • Link and attachment scanning

  • Impersonation and phishing detection

Because the majority of cyber attacks still start with email.

7. Compliance Reporting & Cyber Essentials Readiness

We offer ongoing support for:

  • Achieving Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus

  • Policy and documentation guidance

  • Evidence gathering for insurance or audits

Compliance is no longer optional — it’s expected.

8. Best In Class Hardware

We partner with some of the best names out there, ensuring you get the best quality hardware that will last you throughout your technology cycle. Our choice in partners mean:

  • Ongoing support for the lifetime of the device

  • Standardisation across your entire organisation

  • Top level performance when you need it the most

  • Availability of parts should the need arise

  • Full integration with our monitoring software - keeping you safe 24/7

  • Next Gen ready with advanced features such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention

  • Full industry compliance - making your PCI compliance a breeze

We don’t settle for anything less than the best - why should you?

Bonus: Tailored Tools for Your Industry

Whether you're in legal, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail or any other sector — we configure solutions to fit your compliance needs, workflows, and growth plans.

Why This Matters to You

We don’t believe in “black box” IT. You deserve clarity about where your money goes — and confidence that your business is protected and in the team that’s protecting it.

  • Best-in-class tools

  • Expert configuration

  • Proactive management

And we’re happy to show our work.
