The four questions this page answers

  1. 1

    What you buy

    A monthly subscription, delivered remotely. Each month we scan the software your systems depend on against published advisory databases, test and apply the patches, monitor TLS, security headers, file integrity and login patterns, and send you a written security report. It renews monthly until you cancel.

  2. 2

What is this, in plain English?

A monthly subscription, delivered remotely. Each month we scan the software your systems depend on against published advisory databases, test and apply the patches, monitor TLS, security headers, file integrity and login patterns, and send you a written security report. It renews monthly until you cancel.

A common route into a small business system is a known vulnerability whose patch was already published. This service closes that window: dependencies are tracked against advisory databases, patches are tested and applied, TLS and headers are kept correct, and file integrity and login patterns are watched. It closes the most commonly exploited route — it does not make you secure in an absolute sense, and we will not claim otherwise.

The problem it solves

Nobody is tracking which of your dependencies has a published vulnerability, and you would not know you had been compromised.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

4 deliverables

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • Dependency vulnerability scanning against advisory databases
  • Tested patch application on a schedule
  • Critical-severity patches brought forward ahead of the monthly schedule, applied within one working day of a tested patch being available
  • TLS and security header monitoring
  • File integrity monitoring
  • Failed login and anomaly alerting
  • A monthly security report

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Inventory dependencies

    Everything your system relies on is catalogued — you cannot patch what you have not listed.

  2. 2

    Baseline the posture

    Current vulnerabilities, TLS configuration and headers assessed.

  3. 3

    Patch on schedule

    Non-critical patches monthly after testing; critical ones brought forward and applied within one working day.

  4. 4

    Monitor

    File integrity, login patterns and certificate expiry watched continuously.

  5. 5

    Report

    A monthly report of what was found, what was patched and what remains open.

Delivery & fulfilment

Stream Edge Solutions ships nothing. Every package on this site is carried out and handed over remotely — this is exactly what happens after you order.

SUBSCRIPTIONHow this is delivered
  1. 1We confirm what is coveredWe agree exactly which systems the plan covers and the access we need to look after them.
  2. 2We set the plan up remotelyMonitoring, alerting, backups and the maintenance schedule are configured by our team. This part is a one-off remote setup.
  3. 3It runs, and we reportThe work is carried out through each billing period and reported to you. The plan continues, period after period, until you cancel it.

An ongoing remote service that runs each period until you cancel it in writing. Typical turnaround: Active within 5 working days of onboarding, then ongoing each month until cancelled.

Delivery method

Expected delivery time
Active within 5 working days of onboarding, then ongoing each month until cancelled
Measured from the point everything under “what we need from you” is with us — not from the moment you pay.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • Server or platform access sufficient to inventory and patch the software
  • An agreed maintenance window for patching
  • Acceptance that patching occasionally requires brief downtime
  • A named contact to receive alerts and the monthly report

Who this is for

  • Businesses handling customer data
  • Sites that have been compromised before
  • Companies with compliance or client security requirements
  • Anyone with no one tracking security advisories

Business needs this addresses: Improve IT infrastructure

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • Penetration testing, which is a separate engagement
  • Security certification or formal compliance audit
  • Incident response and forensic investigation after a breach, quoted separately
  • Any guarantee that you will not be compromised — no supplier can honestly offer that
  • Out-of-hours or weekend patching and monitoring response; alerts are actioned during working hours
  • Patching of software you have not given us access to, or that a vendor no longer supports

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

Does this make us secure?

It closes the most commonly exploited route — known, unpatched vulnerabilities — and gives you a written record of what was found and fixed. No service makes a system secure in an absolute sense, and any that claims to is overselling.

Can I cancel, and what do I keep?

Yes — a rolling monthly plan, cancellable in writing on 30 days’ notice. Patches already applied stay applied and the reports we have issued are yours to keep. Scanning and monitoring stop at the end of the final period, so nothing is watched after that. Our Refund & Cancellation Policy covers how a part-used period is treated.

Are we compliant with this in place?

Compliance is a formal assessment against a specific standard. This is a strong technical foundation and produces evidence an auditor will want, but it is not certification.

Refund & cancellation

How this plan is cancelled, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Cancelling this plan
It continues, period after period, until you cancel in writing. A monthly plan needs 30 days' notice. The service runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy — see subscriptions. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Not sure this is the right product?

We would rather point you at the right thing than sell you the nearest one. Ask us before you buy — no obligation.
