Yes! If you're on a monthly license, meaning you pay monthly for your license, you can upgrade or add additional licenses at any time your monthly license renews. If your business opts for an annual, upfront license, you will be tied into this license until the end of that billing period - after this billing period, you can upgrade!

Our Cybersecurity Stack
Our Security Stack provides comprehensive protection for your business, safeguarding data, devices, and networks against cyber threats. It includes antivirus, email anti-spam, firewalls, and password management to keep your systems secure. With Microsoft 365 and server backups, your critical data is protected against loss, ensuring business continuity.

Questions?
Antivirus software detects, blocks, and removes malware, ransomware, and viruses before they can cause harm. It provides real-time protection and helps prevent unauthorised access to company data.
Even with security measures in place, human error, cyberattacks, and system failures can lead to data loss. Regular backups ensure you can restore important files, emails, and business-critical data quickly without major disruption.
Email is one of the most common ways cybercriminals deliver phishing attacks and malware. Email anti-spam filters block malicious emails, prevent phishing attempts, and reduce the risk of business email compromise (BEC).
Firewalls act as a barrier between your network and potential cyber threats, blocking unauthorised access, suspicious traffic, and hacking attempts while allowing legitimate communication to flow securely.
Weak or reused passwords are a leading cause of security breaches. A password manager ensures employees use strong, unique passwords for each account while enabling secure sharing and multi-factor authentication for added protection.
Every 11 seconds, a ransomware attack occurs worldwide.
