It is a field of its own. Every weakness below is publicly known, and can be found by anyone scanning the internet.
An example. Yours is written for your site.
Doors left open for kit that left years ago.
Insurers now ask about your security before they will cover you. The plan itself is on our IT support page.
Five areas, checked and put right with the people who run your business. The assessment is always carried out by an independent body. We use CyberSmart to keep every device patched.
Four modules, in person or on Teams, following National Cyber Security Centre guidance. Everyone has to pass, and everyone who passes gets a certificate for the year.
We price the work your site needs over the year and build the hours into your monthly payment. No big upfront invoice, for businesses, schools and charities alike.
Yes. Most attacks are not aimed at anyone in particular: they scan the internet for known weaknesses and take whatever is open. The government's 2025/2026 survey found 43% of UK businesses identified a breach or attack in the previous twelve months.
Red, amber, green. After the on-site audit we list what we found in order of risk, with the most urgent at the top, and agree a roadmap to work through it.
Every device and whether it is still supported, how the network is laid out, the firewall and what it lets through, backups, accounts and passwords, and how your staff are trained.
We get you ready. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus ourselves and take you through a roadmap with the people who run your business. The assessment itself is always carried out by an independent certification body.
Nothing on the network is trusted just because it is plugged in. Nothing is allowed in or out until it has been approved. It suits organisations where the data is too important to take chances with.
Not always. Often the firewall is fine but has not been tidied in years, with ports still open for servers that moved to the cloud. Sometimes the business has outgrown a standard router. The audit tells you which.
We price the work your site needs over twelve months and build the hours into a monthly payment, so there is no large invoice at the start.
Insurers now ask about your security before offering cover. A documented security posture, tested backups and trained staff are what they look for. Your insurer decides the cover.
