Security · defences, access and response

Security designed around your risks, put in place and kept working.

We assess your risks, then design and deploy the controls that matter: next-generation firewalls, endpoint detection and response, multi-factor authentication and identity governance, vulnerability assessment and incident-response planning. We are a Fortinet partner and work with Sophos among other tools, we tell you plainly what remains after each step, and we help you keep the controls working as the business changes.

What you get

What is included in Cybersecurity

  • Next-generation firewalls

    Firewalls from Fortinet, Sophos and others, designed, configured and maintained for your network.

  • Endpoint detection and response

    Protection and visibility on laptops and servers, with a way to contain a problem quickly.

  • Multi-factor and identity governance

    Stronger sign-in, and access rights that are granted, reviewed and removed in an orderly way.

  • Vulnerability assessment

    Regular scans and reviews, with findings ranked and tracked until they are closed.

  • Incident-response playbooks

    Written, practised plans for the incidents you are most likely to face.

  • Security awareness

    Short, practical training so that people recognize the common attacks.

Is it the right one?

Where it fits, and where it does not

We would rather you choose the right thing than the one we happen to be discussing.

A strong fit when

  • A customer, insurer or auditor has asked what security you have.
  • You rely on one firewall and a set of passwords.
  • You have had a scare, such as a phishing email that worked.
  • You want security that your own team can run, with help when needed.

Look at something else when

  • You want a promise that nothing will ever get through: nobody can honestly give one.
  • You need a formal certification: we can help you prepare, but it comes from an accredited body.
  • You want a test of your defences by an attacker: a penetration test is a specialist exercise, and we can help you commission one.

How we run it

How we run Cybersecurity

Every engagement runs in phases, so the business sees progress and risks surface early. The timescale for each phase is set after an assessment, not before.

  1. Assess

    Find the real risks across your network, devices, accounts, backups and habits.

  2. Prioritize

    Rank them by risk and effort, and agree what to do first.

  3. Fix the basics

    Close the common gaps first: patches, passwords, multi-factor sign-in and exposed services.

  4. Deploy the controls

    Put in the firewalls, endpoint protection and access controls, tested before they are relied on.

  5. Rehearse

    Practise the incident plan, and train people on the attacks they will meet.

  6. Review

    Rescan and review on a schedule, and adjust as the business and the threats change.

Questions we are asked

Cybersecurity: questions and answers

Can you promise we will not be attacked?

No one can. We reduce the chance of an incident, limit the damage if one happens, and make recovery dependable. We tell you plainly what risk remains after each step.

Do you only work with Fortinet and Sophos?

No. We are a Fortinet partner, and we work with Sophos and others as well. We recommend the tools that suit your size, sites and team, and we do not make a choice for you that does not fit.

Can you monitor our security continuously?

We can monitor alerts as part of a managed service, with response times agreed in advance. What is covered is set out in the service agreement, so that you know what to expect.
