How we secure your business
Tailored solutions powered by Microsoft technologies.
The Security You Already Pay For
Most of what protects a small business is already sitting inside the licence you buy. The work is turning it on properly, then keeping it that way. We configure Defender across endpoints, identity, email and cloud apps. We set Conditional Access so that access depends on who is asking, from where, on what device. Admin rights sit behind approval rather than staying permanently switched on.
Identity First
Conditional Access, multi-factor authentication and just-in-time admin access. Most breaches start at a sign-in, so that is where the effort goes.
Detection You Can Read
Defender for Endpoint, Office 365 and Cloud Apps reporting into one place, so alerts arrive with context rather than as noise nobody triages.
Security Awareness Training
Train your team to recognise a threat and to say so early. Most incidents start with a person rather than a system, so the fastest improvement available to most businesses is the one that costs least.
Cloud Security
Safeguard your data in Microsoft 365 and Azure. Monitor and secure cloud workloads. Collect, analyse and respond to security events.
Network Security
Defend the network against intrusion while keeping sight of which SaaS applications people are actually using.
When Something Does Happen
Prevention is most of the job. The rest is what happens at two in the afternoon when a laptop starts encrypting files. We have led major incidents through to resolution, invoked disaster recovery for real and written the analysis afterwards. That last part matters as much as the fix, because it is what stops the same thing happening twice.
A Named Lead
One person owns the incident from the first call to the write-up. You are not repeating the story to whoever picks up next.
Root Cause, Not Just Recovery
Anything significant gets a written cause plus a change that closes it off. Unglamorous work. It is also what quietly reduces the number of incidents.
Security Does Not Stop at the Tenant Boundary
Plenty of what attackers reach for sits outside Microsoft 365. We work with next-generation firewalls and Zero Trust Network Access at the edge. We have also moved a SIEM estate onto Microsoft Sentinel, with the data connectors that make it worth having.
Tracked, Not Remembered
Vulnerabilities and zero-days go on a register with an owner and a date against each one, rather than into somebody's inbox.
Cover Beyond the Working Day
The service desk runs 9:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. Out-of-hours cover is available and is agreed up front as part of your contract, so what is promised is written down.
Continuous Microsoft 365 security assessment
Our support includes tool-driven assessments of your Microsoft 365 environment, measured against Cyber Essentials controls and the technical requirements of the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT). You get a clear, prioritised report of where you stand and what to fix first. We spot it when settings drift out of shape.
Comprehensive Protection
From threat detection to incident response, we cover all aspects of cyber security
