Datto Security
Datto Endpoint Security
Traditional antivirus alone can’t stop modern ransomware and zero-day attacks. SA1 Solutions deploys Datto AV and Datto EDR together to give businesses layered endpoint protection that detects, blocks, and rolls back attacks in real time. When combined, Datto AV and Datto EDR detect and stop 99.62% of malware – more than double the industry average of 45% for zero-day threats.
The Datto Endpoint Security Deployment Process
STEP 1 - Endpoint Audit and Assessment
We begin with a full audit of your current endpoint estate across Swansea, Cardiff, or wherever your team operates. We review existing antivirus coverage, identify unprotected devices, check for conflicting security tools, and map your Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints – building a clear picture of where the gaps are before any deployment begins.
STEP 2 - Policy Design and Configuration
We design Datto AV and Datto EDR policies tailored to your business – configuring ransomware detection thresholds, file-rollback exclusions for high-write workloads (databases, design software, accounting platforms), automated response actions, and alert routing. Policies are aligned with Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 control requirements where relevant.
STEP 3 - Staged Deployment
The Datto Endpoint Security agent is deployed in stages – starting with a pilot group to validate compatibility, then rolling out across your full estate. Existing antivirus is removed first to prevent conflicts (Datto AV cannot run alongside Windows Defender or third-party AV). Rollouts are scheduled outside business hours where possible to avoid disruption.
STEP 4 - Continuous Monitoring and Tuning
Once live, SA1 Solutions monitors alerts from our Swansea office. We tune detection policies to reduce false positives, review flagged behaviours, and ensure agents stay updated – Datto AV pulls fresh threat intelligence continuously, with endpoint status verified every two hours.
STEP 5 - Incident Response and Rollback
When a threat is detected, we investigate, contain, and remediate immediately. For ransomware events, we trigger Datto’s rollback feature to restore any files encrypted before containment – without depending on Windows shadow copy, which ransomware routinely targets. Hosts can be isolated from the network in seconds to prevent lateral movement.
STEP 6 - Reporting and Compliance Evidence
You receive regular reports covering threats blocked, endpoint health, agent coverage, and any incidents handled. Reports are formatted to support Cyber Essentials renewals, ISO 27001 audits, and internal governance reviews – giving your business the audit-ready evidence required without your team having to compile it.
Benefits of Datto Endpoint Security with SA1 Solutions
Layered Protection Against Modern Threats
Traditional antivirus catches known malware. Datto AV and Datto EDR work together to catch what antivirus misses – zero-day exploits, fileless attacks, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats. Independent Miercom testing confirmed a 99.62% malware detection rate when both products are deployed together, compared to a 45% industry average for zero-day threats alone.
Ransomware Recovery Without Paying the Ransom
When ransomware hits, Datto EDR kills the encryption process mid-attack – detecting activity after as few as four encrypted files. Any files encrypted before containment are restored via Datto’s rollback feature, which tracks file changes independently of Windows shadow copy (a system ransomware routinely targets). Welsh businesses get a fast recovery path that doesn’t depend solely on backups.
Audit-Ready Compliance Evidence
Endpoint protection is a mandatory control under Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, and UK GDPR. Datto AV and EDR generate the logging, malware-protection evidence, and incident records your assessor needs – and SA1 Solutions compiles it into report-ready format. Renewals and audits stop being a scramble.
Managed Locally, Monitored Continuously
SA1 Solutions configures policies, reviews alerts, and responds to incidents from our Swansea office – so your business never has to recruit a security analyst or learn the Datto console. You get enterprise-grade endpoint security as a managed service, with a team you can pick up the phone to.

- DETECTION
Combined malware detection rate when Datto AV and Datto EDR are deployed together – verified by Miercom independent testing, more than double the industry average.
- ZERO-DAY
Detection rate for zero-day threats achieved by Datto EDR in independent testing – compared to a 45% industry average for endpoint security products.
- ROLLBACK
Average number of files encrypted before Datto EDR’s Enhanced Ransomware Detection stops an attack – down from 12 previously, minimising blast radius.
- COVERAGE
Full protection across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints from a single lightweight agent – under 1GB footprint with no performance impact.
