Print Fleet Cyber Security as a Service (Lite)™
A lower lift, high visibility first step into print fleet cyber hygiene.
Some organizations can’t start with our affordable, print fleet cyber protection total program. Instead, they need to start with “we need a way to get moving”.
PFCSAAS Lite is that on-ramp.
It’s a scaled-down version of Symphion’s total Print Fleet Cyber Security as a Service™ program, focused on two essential disciplines that every board can understand and support:
- Evergreen inventory / IT asset management (ITAM)
- Password management
It delivers quick, visible, highest value wins and process.
Why PFCSAAS Lite?
Every large print fleet that we see starts from the same place:
- No accurate, current inventory of all printers across locations.
- No consistent view of which devices are unsupported or at end of support.
- No fleet‑wide password management discipline.
- Multiple teams touching printers with no central program to oversee them.
At the same time, printers:
- Make up about 20% of your endpoints.
- Are 99% unprotected from basic cyber risks.
- Often support mission‑critical processes, including patient care in healthcare.
Before you can fully protect printers, you need to know exactly what you have and establish basic password discipline. PFCSAAS Lite is built to do exactly that.
What PFCSAAS Lite Includes
Evergreen Inventory / ITAM for the Print Fleet
PFCSAAS Lite delivers:
- Hourly refreshed inventory of your in‑scope printers.
- Identification of:
- Newly added devices
- Unsupported devices
- End‑of‑support devices
- A clear picture of your current, real‑world print fleet, not just what’s on paper.
This gives you a reliable foundation for risk decisions, lifecycle planning, and budget conversations.
Fleet‑Wide Password Management
PFCSAAS Lite also establishes:
- A printer password management program across the entire fleet.
- Monitoring for password changes to detect drift from your chosen control state.
- Remediation of those changes.
- Central visibility into where weak, default, or inconsistent passwords may expose your environment.
These two disciplines—inventory and password management—are the cornerstones of any printer protection program.
What PFCSAAS Lite Is (and Isn’t)
PFCSAAS Lite:
- Is a lower‑price, high‑visibility quick win that boards and executives can support.
- Is a practical first step for organizations that need to demonstrate progress and build momentum.
- Is a way to get Symphion’s automation and expertise working on the fundamentals of your print fleet.
PFCSAAS Lite:
- Is not a replacement for the full Print Fleet Cyber Security as a Service™ program.
- Does not include full configuration hardening, firmware management, or continuous monitoring and remediation across all controls.
It is intentionally designed as a phased approach for organizations that want to start addressing printer risk without committing to the entire program on day one.
How PFCSAAS Lite Supports Full Program Adoption
PFCSAAS Lite makes it easier to adopt a full cyber hygiene program by:
- Providing accurate, trusted data about your fleet (counts, unsupported models, new devices)
- Establishing a culture and discipline around printer passwords
- Giving your board and leadership visible progress and clear, understandable outputs
When it’s time to expand into full PFCSAAS, you’re not starting from zero. You already have the inventory, the processes, and the proof that a programmatic approach works.
Next Step: Start with the Essentials
If you need a practical way to begin addressing printer endpoint risk—and to show tangible progress to your stakeholders—PFCSAAS Lite is built for that purpose.
