Cyber Security

Practical protection.
No theatre.

The controls that actually stop the attacks small and mid-sized UK businesses really get hit by — and none of the expensive things that only exist to be sold.

What’s included

Six things you
actually get.

Email is the front door

Filtering, impersonation protection and DMARC, because almost every incident we see starts with a convincing email.

Multi-factor, properly rolled out

Enforced everywhere it matters, with the awkward legacy exceptions found and closed rather than left open.

Backups you have restored from

A backup nobody has ever tested is a hope, not a control. We test the restore and show you it working.

Endpoint protection and patching

Managed antivirus and update policies, with visibility of the machine that has quietly stopped patching.

Network edge configured on purpose

Firewall rules and remote access that were designed, not accumulated over eight years of small favours.

Staff who know what to look for

Short, unpatronising training and a phishing test, so the invoice fraud attempt gets reported instead of paid.

Is this for you?

Straight answers
before you ask.

Best for

Businesses with no in-house IT security, or with a compliance or insurance questionnaire in front of them they cannot honestly complete.

What it replaces

A firewall someone configured years ago, an untested backup, and MFA that is switched on for some people.

What you need first

A willingness to be told something uncomfortable. The first review usually finds an account nobody remembered existed.

Questions

The ones people
always ask.

Will this pass a cyber insurance questionnaire?

The controls above cover the questions those forms ask. We will go through the form with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Can you guarantee we will not be breached?

No, and nobody honest will. What we can do is close the routes that are actually used and make sure you can recover.

Do you handle it if something happens?

Yes. Containment, restore, and a plain account of what happened afterwards.

Next step

Shall we take
a look?

No obligation and no hard sell. If what you have is fine, we will say so — that is usually the start of a longer relationship anyway.
