Endpoint protection, email filtering, staff training, and the documentation your insurer and auditors keep asking for — built for businesses without a security team.
Most small businesses assume they are too small to be worth attacking. That assumption is correct and irrelevant. Modern attacks are automated and indiscriminate — they scan for an unpatched server or a reused password and take whatever they find.
Which means the businesses that get hit are rarely the ones someone chose. They are the ones that were easiest.
A dental practice with patient records and a law firm with client files hold data that is worth real money and carries real regulatory consequence. The defences do not need to be exotic. They need to exist, and someone needs to be checking that they still work.
None of these are sophisticated. All of them are common.
Managed detection on every workstation and server, monitored centrally. Alerts come to us, and we act on them rather than emailing you a report.
Most breaches start in an inbox. Phishing, spoofed senders, and malicious attachments are filtered before your staff have to make a judgement call.
Multi-factor authentication, least-privilege permissions, and a real offboarding process so departing staff lose access the same day they leave.
Short, practical sessions on what a real phishing attempt looks like. Your people are the layer attackers actually aim at, and they respond well to being told how it works.
Working with dental and medical clients means compliance is standard rather than an add-on. Master Service Agreement and BAA included on every engagement.
Written policies, an asset register, and evidence of controls — the paperwork cyber insurers and auditors ask for, prepared before they ask.
Insurers have tightened requirements considerably. Applications now ask whether you enforce multi-factor authentication, how quickly you patch, whether backups are tested, and how privileged accounts are managed.
Answering optimistically is a genuine risk: if a claim is investigated and the controls were not actually in place, cover can be denied at the worst possible moment.
We put the controls in place, then document them, so your answers are accurate and provable.
Incidents are handled far better by organisations that decided in advance who to call, what gets isolated first, and how to communicate with clients.
We build that plan with you and keep it current, along with tested restores so recovery is a known procedure rather than an experiment run under pressure.
The worst time to work out your response is while it is happening.

It is one layer, and on its own it stops the least sophisticated attacks. It does nothing about a convincing phishing email, a reused password, or an unpatched server. Those account for most real incidents.
Done badly, yes — and then people work around them, which is worse than having none. We aim for controls that are close to invisible day to day. Multi-factor authentication on a phone adds a few seconds, not a workflow change.
You get a quarterly review covering what was blocked, what was patched, and what changed. If a metric only ever looks good, we will tell you why rather than presenting it as an achievement.
Yes. Call us. Containment in the first hours materially affects how bad it gets, and we would rather help someone who is not yet a client than have them wait.
The assessment covers patching, backups, access control, and email security — and gives you a written picture of your real exposure. Free, and yours to keep.
