Cyber security that you don't have to operate yourself.
A fully-managed defence layer for your websites, servers, email, and endpoints. Tremhost handles the WAF, the DDoS mitigation, the malware sweeps, the patching, and — at higher tiers — round-the-clock SOC monitoring. You run your business.

Managed cyber security is when a provider operates your security stack for you — the firewall rules, the malware scans, the patching, the monitoring, the incident response — instead of you hiring an in-house team.
Choose your tier
The cost of prevention is almost always less than the cost of recovery.
One breach can cost you weeks of downtime, regulatory fines, legal fees, and customers who never come back. Get the defence layer in place before you need it.

Website Builder Features
What you actually get for the monthly fee.
Beyond the feature list, the real value is operational — work that wouldn’t happen otherwise, by people who know how.
Peace of mind
Monitoring, patching, and defence happen continuously — so you're not firefighting when something goes wrong at 2 a.m.
Stronger trust
SSL/TLS, malware-free site status, and compliance posture show customers their data is treated seriously.
Less downtime
DDoS mitigation, WAF, and IDS/IPS keep services online during incidents — instead of failing under the first wave.
Predictable costs
One monthly invoice instead of separate tooling licences, consultant retainers, and incident-response surprises.
Why Tremhost?
The Tremhost promise.
What we can commit to: closing the most common attack paths with proven controls, monitoring for the rest, and giving you the people, the tooling, and the runbook to respond fast when something does happen. The cost of preventing an incident is almost always less than the cost of recovering from one.
One monthly invoice.
WAF, SSL, antivirus, monitoring, response — bundled. No separate licences, no surprise consultant retainers.
Real engineers — not a chatbot maze.
WhatsApp, Support tickets, live chat. Reach us directly.
Incident response included.
If something happens while you're under our protection, response is part of the plan — not a separate invoice.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions security buyers, IT managers, and compliance officers ask before signing.
Managed cyber security is an outsourced service in which a provider takes responsibility for the day-to-day operation of a customer’s security stack — firewalls, anti-malware, vulnerability scanning, monitoring, and incident response — instead of the customer hiring an in-house team. Tremhost’s plans combine network-edge protection (Cloudflare WAF and DDoS mitigation) with server-side and endpoint-side defences (malware removal, managed antivirus, IDS/IPS), and optional 24/7 SOC monitoring.
A WAF is a layer that inspects HTTP/HTTPS traffic and blocks malicious requests before they reach your web application. It defends against the OWASP Top 10 — SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, cross-site request forgery, and similar — based on signature rules and behavioural patterns. Tremhost configures and tunes Cloudflare’s WAF on your behalf so you don’t have to manage rule sets yourself.
Vulnerability scanning is automated and continuous — software probes your systems for known weaknesses (out-of-date packages, weak SSL ciphers, missing patches) and produces a report. Penetration testing is a manual, human-led engagement where a tester actively tries to exploit weaknesses to verify whether they could lead to compromise. Scans tell you what might be vulnerable; pentests prove what is.
A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is the team and tooling that continuously watches for security incidents and responds to them. The 24/7 Managed SOC included in the Enterprise plan provides around-the-clock monitoring of logs, alerts, and intrusion signals, with human triage and incident response. The exact tooling, run-book, and response thresholds are confirmed during onboarding and tailored to your environment.
No reputable provider can or will guarantee this. Cyber security is a layered, ongoing practice — not a one-time purchase. Tremhost’s managed security service dramatically reduces your risk by closing the most common attack paths and giving you the people and tooling to detect and respond when something does happen. If a breach occurs while under our protection, incident response is included in the plan to contain damage and restore service.
Probably yes. A hosting firewall typically protects the network edge of your server. Managed security adds Web Application Firewall rules (for OWASP Top 10 threats like SQL injection and XSS), DDoS mitigation, malware scanning of your actual website files, anti-spam for email, endpoint protection on staff computers, and human review when something looks wrong. They are complementary, not duplicative.
Distributed Denial of Service attacks flood a website or server with traffic to take it offline. Mitigation works by absorbing the attack at the network edge — using a globally distributed network (Cloudflare’s, in this case) to identify malicious traffic patterns and drop them before they ever reach your origin server. Volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attacks are all handled at the edge.
Scheduled penetration testing engagements are included in the Enterprise Security plan. A pentest is a formal, scoped engagement in which the tester (with written authorisation) attempts to exploit your systems in the same way an attacker would. The output is a written report of findings ranked by severity, with remediation guidance. Tremhost’s Professional and Enterprise plans include vulnerability scanning, which is automated and continuous — pentesting is the human-led, deeper assessment on top.
Tremhost’s managed security service provides controls that support compliance with frameworks like PCI-DSS (card data), GDPR (EU personal data), POPIA (South African personal information), and HIPAA (US health data). However, compliance is a property of your whole business — including processes, policies, training, and documentation — not just your technical controls.
Tremhost can help you implement the technical pieces; certified compliance audits should be conducted by qualified assessors.
Essential Security ($199/mo) suits small businesses with a website and a handful of email accounts.
Advanced Security ($299/mo) adds DDoS mitigation and managed antivirus — appropriate for a small team with internal endpoints to protect.
Professional Security ($699/mo) is the right tier for organisations with regulatory exposure (PCI-DSS, POPIA, GDPR) thanks to IDS/IPS and compliance support.
Enterprise Security ($1,999/mo) is for organisations that need a managed SOC and scheduled penetration testing.
