- 3Choose representative trial devices and agree compatibility, policy, reporting, support, and decision criteria.
The Endpoint Risks Business Owners Already Recognise
One employee follows a convincing phishing link and exposes a device or account.
Ransomware starts encrypting files before the team knows which machine is responsible.
Unpatched applications leave known weaknesses open across the estate.
Different devices run different protection, policies, or renewal dates.
Alerts keep arriving, but nobody knows which ones need action or who should respond.
Five Protection Layers Working Together
Risk Analytics
Identify endpoint settings and behaviours that create avoidable exposure, then prioritise the changes that reduce risk.
- Endpoint risk visibility
- Configuration weaknesses surfaced
- Prioritised remediation actions
Application Control
Define which applications may run so unknown or unwanted software has fewer opportunities to disrupt the business.
- Approved-application policies
- Control of unwanted software
- Documented exceptions by device group
Web Protection
Reduce exposure to malicious pages, phishing links, and risky web destinations before they turn into an endpoint incident.
- Malicious-site blocking
- Web-access policy controls
- Phishing and download protection
Machine-Learning Prevention
Analyse files and behaviour for known and emerging threats instead of relying only on a list of known malware signatures.
- Malware and exploit prevention
- Behaviour-based analysis
- Protection against new threat variants
Automated Detection and Response
Detect suspicious activity and apply configured actions such as blocking or isolating a threat, with deeper response functions depending on the selected edition or add-on.
- Suspicious-activity detection
- Policy-driven response actions
- Alerts for review and escalation
How 912 Makes GravityZone Manageable
The software is only one part of the service. 912 plans the deployment, configures the controls, supports the rollout, and gives your team a clear reporting and escalation path.
Part of the 912 six-phase engagement model — this is how it runs for this service.
Assess
Map endpoint count, operating systems, servers, critical applications, current tools, exclusions, and the people responsible for security decisions.
Configure
Select the suitable edition and add-ons, establish device groups and policies, document justified exceptions, and agree alert and escalation ownership.
Deploy
Begin with representative devices, check compatibility and signal quality, then roll out in controlled stages when the results support it.
Monitor and Report
Review agreed alerts and reports, explain what needs action, and escalate within the support window and responsibilities written into the managed-service scope.
Core Protection, With Add-Ons Chosen Deliberately
Core Endpoint Protection
Risk analytics, application control, web and threat protection, machine-learning prevention, policy management, alerts, and reporting form the core protection case. Exact capabilities still depend on the selected GravityZone edition.
Optional Controls
Patch management, full-disk encryption, email protection, mobile security, and advanced investigation or response capabilities are evaluated separately. They are not presented as included unless the named edition or add-on supports them.
A Managed Service, Not a Licence Drop
912 assesses, configures, deploys, monitors, reports, and escalates around the agreed platform. The licence component is bundled into the wider managed-service quote so the operating work has a named owner.
FortiGate Still Protects the Perimeter
GravityZone protects endpoints; FortiGate controls traffic at the network perimeter and between defined zones. Many organisations need both, together with identity controls, tested backups, and an incident-response plan.
Compare the deployment model, operating work, lifecycle, prerequisites, and where another option may be the better fit before selecting a product.
All vendor decision guidesExecutive Intelligence
Why choose managed Bitdefender GravityZone from 912?
Choose managed GravityZone from 912 when you want one endpoint-security console for laptops, desktops, and servers, but also need someone to assess the estate, configure the policies, manage the rollout, review agreed alerts, report clearly, and escalate within a defined support scope. GravityZone complements rather than replaces firewalls, identity controls, backups, and incident response.
Start with a Free 30-Day Trial
For organisations with at least 15 endpoints, tested on a representative subset before a wider decision.
Honest Risk Framing
Important Limits Before You Decide
The edition and add-ons matter
Patch management, disk encryption, email security, mobile protection, EDR, XDR, MDR, and other advanced capabilities are not assumed to be included. The written quote must name the edition, add-ons, support window, and responsibilities.
Recovery depends on prerequisites
Ransomware remediation and recovery depend on supported endpoints, correctly configured protection, the required modules, temporary backup data, and what the incident changed. They do not guarantee that every file can be recovered and do not replace tested backups.
Technical records support—not replace—the breach decision
Notifications and reports can help establish what happened and when. The organisation remains responsible for assessing reportability under Section 43, notifying the ODPC where required, and operating its incident-response and legal process.
Quick Answers
Who qualifies for the free 30-day GravityZone trial?
An organisation with at least 15 endpoints can request the free 30-day product trial. 912 installs it on a representative subset selected to test the device mix, critical applications, policy fit, alert quality, and reporting needs before any wider rollout. A separate 912 setup or managed-service fee, if applicable, is disclosed during sales follow-up before work begins.
Is the GravityZone trial free?
The 30-day GravityZone product trial is free. 912 will confirm the pilot scope and disclose any separate setup or engineering fee during sales follow-up before deployment, so there is no hidden charge after installation starts.
How much does the GravityZone licence cost?
The GravityZone licence component is KES 1,800 + VAT per endpoint per year. It is bundled into 912’s wider managed-service quote and is not the complete service price. Implementation, policy configuration, monitoring, reporting, support, and selected add-ons are scoped in the full quote.
Does GravityZone replace FortiGate?
No. GravityZone protects and reports on endpoints. FortiGate controls traffic at the network perimeter and between defined zones. The right architecture may use both, together with identity controls, backups, and an incident-response plan.
Can GravityZone help with an ODPC breach assessment?
GravityZone notifications and reports can contribute timestamps, affected endpoints, event details, and recorded actions to an incident timeline. The organisation still decides whether Section 43’s reportability threshold is met and remains responsible for any ODPC notification, affected-person communication, legal advice, and incident-response actions.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Stop ransomware, phishing and risky endpoint activity with managed Bitdefender GravityZone.
What does 912 manage around Bitdefender GravityZone?
912 assesses the endpoint estate, recommends the suitable edition and add-ons, configures policies, runs the representative-device trial, supports a controlled rollout, reviews agreed alerts and reports, and escalates within the support window and responsibilities written into the managed-service scope.
What happens if we have fewer than 15 endpoints?
The free trial offer and paid managed GravityZone deployment start with an estate of at least 15 endpoints. A smaller organisation can request a cybersecurity assessment so 912 can recommend a proportionate endpoint control and support model.
Are patch management, disk encryption, email security and mobile protection included?
Not automatically. These capabilities depend on the selected GravityZone edition or add-on and the supported device estate. The proposal must name what is included, which devices are covered, what 912 manages, and what remains the client’s responsibility.
Does ransomware recovery always restore every file?
No. Recovery depends on a supported endpoint, the required protection modules, correct configuration, temporary backup data, available storage, and what the attack changed. It is a control with prerequisites, not a guarantee, and it does not replace isolated, monitored, and tested backups.
Can GravityZone provide evidence for an ODPC breach assessment?
GravityZone notifications and reports can contribute timestamps, affected endpoints, event details, and recorded actions to the incident timeline. The organisation remains responsible for deciding whether Section 43’s reportability threshold is met and for making any required ODPC notification.
