Guardz

What is Guardz?

Guardz is a unified cybersecurity platform for managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs) and the small and midsize businesses they protect. It brings identity, email, endpoint, browser, cloud and security awareness data into one view and applies agent-driven detection and response across them.

Key features of Guardz

• Identity protection: detects account takeovers and can revoke sessions and suspend accounts.
• Email security: blocks phishing and malicious attachments and quarantines messages under each client's policy.
• Endpoint protection: blocks malware and ransomware, isolates devices and offers 24/7 expert response.
• Browser protection: blocks unsafe sites and controls data sharing through Palo Alto Networks Prisma Browser.
• Cloud and data protection: finds exposed files and removes public links and external permissions.
• Security awareness training: assigns training based on user risk and runs phishing simulations.
• Exposure management: finds open ports, unsafe settings and leaked credentials, with remediation steps.
• 24/7 agentic MDR: managed detection and response with automated triage and investigation.

How Guardz works

Guardz connects to a client's Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, endpoints and browsers, and feeds the signals into a single multi-tenant console. Detection layers correlate activity across identity, email, endpoint and cloud, then respond automatically or hand incidents to the vendor's analysts. The vendor also exposes API and MCP access so providers can build the platform into their own tooling.

Who uses Guardz?

Guardz is built for MSPs and MSSPs that manage security for many small clients from one console, and for SMBs that receive protection through their provider. The vendor reports SOC 2 Type II compliance and lists G2 High Performer recognition.

Guardz pricing

Guardz does not publish prices; they are shared after you contact the company. It sells Pro, Ultimate and Elite tiers, with Ultimate adding EDR, advanced email security and 24/7 MDR, and Elite adding deeper telemetry, DLP, encryption and forensic investigation. Pricing is per user with endpoint flexibility, billing is monthly, and the vendor offers a 14-day trial with no credit card.

Guardz integrations

Guardz works with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace and lists Palo Alto Networks Prisma Browser, SentinelOne and Check Point on its site. It also offers an API for provider tooling.

Guardz alternatives

ThreatLocker focuses on application allowlisting and ringfencing rather than a multi-layer detection platform. Huntress centers on managed endpoint detection and response for MSP-served small businesses, with a narrower scope than Guardz's identity, email and cloud coverage. Coro offers a modular platform aimed at lean IT teams, often bought directly by the SMB rather than through a provider.
