Security

Managed security, experienced oversight and training that stops threats becoming incidents, built around your organisation rather than bolted on afterwards.

We work alongside your I.T. support provider to make sure every layer of your security is in place and properly maintained. We do not replace your I.T. team. We make sure the security foundations are solid, regardless of who manages the day-to-day.

From firewall hardening and intrusion detection through to cloud environment audits and 24/7 monitoring, we bring 27 years of hands-on network security experience to organisations that cannot justify a full-time security team.

We also manage Cyber Essentials certification, IASME (Information Assurance for Small and Medium Enterprises) Cyber Assurance and ISO 27001 readiness, so your security posture and your certification evidence are maintained by the same people who actually secure your network.

Network Security

Cyber threats keep evolving, from ransomware bought off the shelf to attacks that arrive through your suppliers and stolen credentials traded between criminals. Defending against them still comes down to someone who genuinely understands how your network is put together.

• Firewall configuration review and hardening
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Threat monitoring and incident response
• Traffic analysis and anomaly detection
• Access control and audit trail review
• Coordination with your I.T. provider on remediation

Cloud Environment Security

Most organisations run critical operations through Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or similar platforms. The cloud provider protects their infrastructure. The configuration, access controls and user management are entirely your responsibility.

We audit your cloud environment and fix what we find. Common problems include senior staff with inappropriate global admin permissions, old contractors still holding admin access, third-party service accounts for marketing platforms that now have excessive permissions, shared mailboxes with no access controls, and global admin rights handed out to I.T. suppliers who no longer work with you.

Continuous Monitoring

When something does go wrong, you can see the intrusion, contain it, and produce the forensic evidence and audit trails you need to meet your 72-hour reporting obligation.
