Cybersecurity
Managed security controls, running and evidenced
The controls that stop most incidents are not exotic. They are enforced multi-factor, patched systems, real endpoint detection, and least privilege — done consistently.
Context
What we actually deploy
Identity first, because that is where most incidents begin. Multi-factor enforced with no exceptions, conditional access, and administrative privilege separated from daily accounts.
Then endpoints: managed detection and response rather than consumer antivirus, and a defined action when something fires. Then email, which is still the main delivery route for the attacks that actually land on small businesses.
Then the evidence. Reporting that shows the controls are running, written for whoever is asking — your insurer at renewal, a client’s vendor review, or your board.
Scope
What is included
- Managed detection and response on every endpoint
- Identity hardening: multi-factor, conditional access, privilege separation
- Email security configured beyond the vendor defaults
- Vulnerability and patch reporting against your estate
- Security awareness training and phishing simulation
- Incident response path with defined containment steps
- Reporting for insurance renewals and vendor reviews
Detail
What we do not do
We do not sell penetration testing as a substitute for basic controls. If multi-factor is not enforced, a pen test will tell you something you already know for several thousand dollars.
We also do not run compliance certification programmes. Where you need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 formally, you need an auditor, and we will work alongside one rather than claim to replace them.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Is antivirus not enough?
Signature-based antivirus catches known malware, and the attacks that succeed against small businesses now mostly do not look like known malware. Managed detection watches behaviour — the account logging in from two countries in an hour, the process encrypting files — and someone responds to it.
Can you help with our cyber insurance questionnaire?
Yes. We work through it against your real environment, tell you which answers are already true, and rank the gaps. Answering optimistically is a claim-denial risk, which makes verification worth the effort before you sign it.
Do you provide a SOC or 24/7 monitoring?
Detection and response run continuously, with 24/7 response available on the Complete managed IT tier. We are direct about what is automated, what is monitored by a person, and what response time you are actually buying — that distinction is where a lot of security marketing is misleading.
