Protecting your business

Cyber attacks are no longer just a problem for large organisations. Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted because their defences are often weaker, and a single phishing email, reused password or out-of-date laptop can be all it takes.

We can review how secure your business really is and help you tighten up your security, including:

• Multi-factor authentication and strong password policies
• Keeping computers, phones and software up to date
• Firewall and Wi-Fi security
• Microsoft 365 security settings
• Reliable, tested backups
• Anti-virus and malware protection
• Helping staff spot phishing emails and scams

Many of these measures are also the foundation of Cyber Essentials, so improving your security now puts you in a strong position to get certified.

Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed certification scheme, run by IASME, that shows your business has the basic technical controls in place to protect against the most common cyber attacks.

Certification is increasingly required for government and public-sector contracts and by larger customers in their supply chain, and it can help with cyber insurance.

The scheme covers five key controls: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and security update management.

Our team includes an IASME-accredited Cyber Essentials Advisor. We can review your IT against the requirements, fix any gaps, help you complete the self-assessment and keep you compliant ready for your annual renewal.
