Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What is a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP)?
A Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) delivers ongoing cybersecurity, including the people, processes, and technology to protect your IT environment around the clock. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Sigma works as an extension of your team, managing firewalls, endpoints, vulnerabilities, email security, and threat monitoring. Sigma’s MSSP is one part of our broader cybersecurity and compliance services, a security operations suite built for continuous protection and proactive threat management.
What services are included in Sigma's MSSP offering?
Sigma’s managed security services cover operational cybersecurity end to end: firewall and network security, vulnerability management (scanning, patching, remediation), DNS and web filtering, email security and anti-phishing, endpoint management, security awareness training, penetration testing, and data loss prevention (DLP). For organizations with compliance requirements like HIPAA, CMMC, or SOC2, this pairs with our managed compliance and assessments and our cybersecurity incident response services.
What is the difference between an MSSP, MDR, and an MSP?
An MSSP provides cybersecurity, managing firewalls, endpoints, vulnerability remediation, email security, and security awareness around the clock. MDR is threat-focused, emphasizing continuous monitoring and investigation of active attacks. An MSP handles general IT operations like infrastructure and help desk on behalf of the organization. Sigma is much more than a traditional MSP. We deliver managed security services and, through our sister company Sigma InfoSec, managed detection and response. These services are supported by broader IT services and a leadership team of senior CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs who act as strategic advisors, aligning technology and security with your business goals.
How much do managed security services cost?
Cost is dependent on the number of users and endpoints, services you need (such as penetration testing or DLP), compliance requirements, and environment complexity. Sigma can assess your setup and recommend the right level of coverage. Contact us to discuss what fits.
Should I use an MSSP or build an in-house security team?
Many organizations use both. An in-house team brings institutional knowledge, while an MSSP adds specialized security expertise, technology, and 24/7 capacity without the cost of hiring a full security team. Sigma complements your existing team or operates as your security function if you don’t have one. For organizations that also need senior security leadership, our vCISO services add strategy and governance on top. We have supported Austin and Texas businesses this way since 2000.
Is Sigma SOC 2 Type 2 certified?
Yes. Sigma Information Group maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification, ensuring that our security controls and processes meet rigorous standards for protecting client data over time. When you choose Sigma as your managed security services provider, you are working with a partner held to the same level of scrutiny we help our clients achieve through managed compliance and assessments.
