Guardz

We distribute Guardz because it solves a real problem for Australian MSPs who serve SMB clients: the cost and operational tax of running Huntress plus Sophos MTR plus Microsoft Defender plus Avanan plus a phishing simulator plus a dark-web tool across every tenant. That stack adds up fast in licence cost, runs across six consoles per customer, and ends up under-managed for the smaller clients who need protection the most. Guardz collapses that into one multi-tenant platform with white-label branding, one MDR team and one monthly per-seat price.

The technical bet is an identity-centric correlation engine. Where modular tools alert on individual signals — an endpoint flagged here, an OAuth token misused there, a phishing email landing somewhere else — Guardz stitches the signals to the underlying identity and presents one incident instead of three open tickets across three consoles. Modules cover Identity Threat Detection & Response (Entra ID and Google Workspace), Endpoint Security (managed AV, with SentinelOne Control EDR in Ultimate and SentinelOne Complete in Elite), Email Protection (Check Point Harmony, formerly Avanan), Cloud Data Protection across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, External Footprint Monitoring and Dark Web Monitoring. The 24/7 AI plus human-led MDR sits across all of them and won the 2025 Global Infosec Awards "Trailblazing MDR Service Provider" recognition.

Guardz raised US$56M in Series B funding in early 2025 and was named 2025 MSP Today Product of the Year. They integrate with the PSA and RMM tools Australian MSPs already run — ConnectWise, Syncro and NinjaOne. Four plans: Community (free, not-for-resale for the MSP's own use), Pro (the entry paid tier, per-seat monthly), Ultimate (the recommended tier — Pro plus 24/7 MDR, SentinelOne Control EDR and Check Point Advanced Email) and Elite (Ultimate plus SentinelOne Complete EDR, Check Point Complete Email, active threat hunting and forensic investigations). 14-day free trial, no credit card.

For CRS partners building a complete MSP stack, Guardz pairs cleanly with Keepit as our "Protect & Recover" bundle — Guardz prevents and detects, Keepit backs up and restores the same SaaS workloads. The two products cover the full SaaS data lifecycle and the bundle gets CRS-exclusive pricing when both lines land on one deal.
