Up-To-Date Cyber Security Measures
Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, and so are we. Our consultancy services include regularly updating your security measures to keep pace with emerging risks. We tailor our approach to your business’s changing needs, ensuring that your defences are always one step ahead.
Cyber Security Training For Your Team
Your team is your first line of defence against cyber threats. We provide ongoing, practical training sessions that are easy to digest, focusing on real-world scenarios. Your employees can put what they’ve learnt into practice with simulated phishing attacks and then further their skills with personalised lessons based on the results.
Data Protection Compliance
We make compliance with the Data Protection Act simple and straightforward, and with our extensive experience across various industries, we ensure you meet any specific regulations relevant to your sector.
We’ll also guide you through achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a Government-backed scheme that showcases your commitment to cybersecurity. This certification not only helps to shield your business from threats but also reassures your customers that you’re following best practices to protect their data.
Disaster Recovery Solutions
In the event of a cyber attack or other disaster, having a working recovery plan can be the difference between minutes and days of downtime. We help you develop and implement disaster recovery solutions, including reliable and easily accessible data backups, to ensure your business can quickly resume operations. Our solutions are tailored to your specific needs, giving you peace of mind that you’re prepared for the unexpected.
Common Cyber Security Challenges We Address
Our approach ensures that your security measures are proactive, adaptable, and resilient against future threats. Below are some of the most common risks we help to protect against, but rest assured—with over a decade of experience, we’ve got the expertise to handle all types of cybersecurity threats.
Phishing
Phishing is when cybercriminals send messages or make calls that seem like they’re from a trusted source, trying to trick you into sharing personal information like passwords or credit card details. We use an advanced AI engine that learns your team’s email communication patterns, blocking the highly personalised emails that traditional email filters often miss.
Data Breaches
We take the prevention of data breaches seriously. One of the main ways that we work with you to prevent unauthorised access to your data is through ‘threat hunting,’ which means that instead of waiting for a threat to respond to, our professionals work alongside advanced technology to monitor your systems 24/7, catching attempted cyber attacks before they have a chance to cause harm.
Malware and Viruses
When it comes to cyber attacks, malware and viruses can seriously disrupt your business, especially when they target your critical infrastructure. That’s why we don’t just rely on basic protection. We use industry-best firewalls and antivirus software that actively block threats and keep your systems secure. We’ll also secure your cloud environment to the same standards, so whether your data is on-premises or in the cloud, it’s always protected.
Cyber Security Strategy Case Study: CT4N
CT4N faced issues with email hacking, putting their business at risk. We stepped in to help them get things under control quickly, and put measures in place to protect them from every angle.
‘We’ve had instances in the past where none of us were aware that emails – my emails – had been hacked. That risk could have been quite severe for the business but fortunately, we managed to get on top of it straight away.’
