IT Cyber Security

Dark web monitoring

It’s common for many businesses to have their credentials sold on the dark web; a place notorious for its criminal activity and digital black markets. Our tools continuously monitor the dark web for any of our client’s compromised details, including email addresses, usernames, and passwords. Once we’ve detected stolen details, we will prevent a security breach by resetting all your credentials and locking the system. Call us today and we can protect each of your domains from as little as £30 per month.

Email phishing simulation and testing

Believe it or not, your staff and colleagues are the most significant security risk to your business. Employees up and down the country continue to let hackers into their infrastructure by falling prey to the most common type of security breach, phishing emails. We can help to stop this by providing your employees with phishing simulation and security awareness training. If you choose to enrol staff, we will send them phishing emails in a protected environment and discuss preventative measures.

Mobile device management and endpoint management

We use Microsoft Intune to give company’s more control over their devices. Whether it’s your phones, laptops, or computers, this fantastic workplace management tool allows you to encrypt your hardware with the click of a button. If a device is stolen, Intune can automatically lock it and prompt the thief to enter a de-encryption key – keeping your data safe. This easy-to-use platform will also track any suspicious activity (such as deleting large amounts of data) and make sure all devices have the latest updates.

Advanced threat protection

We use Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection as a complete endpoint security system. This platform provides a foundation from which to prevent, detect, investigate and respond to advanced threats in your organisation. Microsoft Defender ATP directly integrates with various other eponymous solutions, such as Azure and Intune, to mitigate the chances of viruses, malware and ransomware. It will also tell us when anyone has logged into your system from different locations.

User awareness training

All of our experts come from environments that rely on secure communications, such as the banking and financial sectors. As such, we’re well-placed to spend time with your users and educate them on the new methods hackers are using. We can create fake threats and role-play scenarios with your team, so they have the skills to manage any future risks.

Compliance and certification

We can provide support for meeting various compliance and security standards, including:

 Cyber Essentials

A government-backed scheme to help protect your business from cyber attacks.

Cyber Essentials Plus

All the standards and requirements of Cyber Essentials but with an independent technical assessment and vulnerability scan.

ISO 27001

If you are looking to demonstrate the highest level of IT cyber security and compliance, we can help support you in applying for the ISO 27001 Information Security Management certification. We will bring you up to the required standard by assessing your IT processes, systems and controls.

Allow us to audit your IT systems and we’ll help you to reach the highest security standard. Our independent certification partner will then verify and approve any work we’ve implemented, before awarding your certification.

Penetration testing

A penetration test, also known as a ‘pen test’, is a simulated cyber attack performed to identify any weaknesses within your IT systems. To make sure the penetration test is carried out with transparency and executed rigorously, we enlist the help of a third party to carry it out. They will then provide us with their independent findings, so we can show you how well your new IT environment is performing.

Firewall as a service (FWaaS)

Make sure your firewall has the latest updates and security measures by using our cloud-based service. We deploy Cisco Meraki as a mobile device management tool and make sure security updates are carried out every month. With Cisco Meraki, you are always connected to our Security Operations and Networks Operations Centre (SOC and NOC), allowing urgent issues to be raised immediately with our team. We also recommend replacing devices every three years.

Email and document protection

Once upon a time, users could save critical information in emails, only for them to be intercepted by hackers. Today, we set companies up with the Azure Information Protection (AIP) solution that allows them to classify and protect data by applying labels. For instance, you can place restrictions on documents, presentations and tender documents, so they don’t fall into the wrong hands.

Incident response and management

If you have an emergency data breach that needs managing immediately, our service desk is permanently on-hand to rectify the situation. We class security alerts as ‘critical’, which means that we’ll seek to respond within 15 minutes.
