Mac Security

Real Mac security, not a Windows tool bolted on.

Most endpoint security is built for Windows and adapted for Mac as an afterthought. We run Jamf Protect and CIS-aligned hardening, both built for macOS specifically, so your Apple fleet is actually monitored properly.

  • Jamf Protect certified
  • CIS benchmark hardening
  • Built specifically for macOS

What's included

What Mac security covers

Threat detection is one part of it. Hardening, encryption, and reporting are what make the whole picture defensible.

Threat detection & monitoring

Behavioural analytics that catch malware and suspicious activity, tuned to macOS rather than adapted from a Windows signature model.

CIS benchmark hardening

Devices configured against recognised CIS benchmarks for macOS, so your baseline is a known, defensible standard.

Encryption enforcement

FileVault enabled and enforced across the fleet, with recovery keys managed centrally rather than left to individual users.

Patch management

OS and third-party updates deployed on a managed schedule, closing vulnerabilities without disrupting your team.

Compliance reporting

Exportable evidence of your security posture, for Cyber Essentials, client due-diligence, or your own records.

Response & remediation

Detected issues contained and resolved through Jamf, closing the loop between finding a problem and fixing it.

Why TechCitrus

Why this needs to be Apple-specific

A security tool that treats macOS as a secondary platform will miss things a Mac-native tool catches, and flag things that aren't actually a problem. Getting this right means fewer false alarms and genuinely better coverage.

Common questions

Do Macs actually need security software?

Yes. The idea that Macs don't get targeted is out of date, particularly in business environments where Macs handle client data, connect to cloud services, and sit on the same networks as everything else. The built-in protections help, but they're not a complete answer on their own.

What's the difference between this and traditional antivirus?

Traditional antivirus is usually signature-based and built for Windows first, then adapted for Mac. Jamf Protect is built for macOS specifically, using behavioural analytics tuned to how Macs actually behave, which means fewer false positives and better detection of the threats that actually target Apple devices.

Is FileVault encryption enough on its own?

FileVault is an important layer, protecting data if a device is lost or stolen, but it doesn't address threat detection, malware, or compliance reporting. We enable and enforce FileVault as standard, alongside the wider security stack, not instead of it.

How does this help with Cyber Essentials or client security requirements?

Continuous monitoring and exportable reporting give you evidence of your actual security posture, which is exactly what Cyber Essentials assessments and client due-diligence requests ask for. We can also advise directly on closing specific gaps.
