What are we protecting?
Cyber Security Starts with the Things Your Business Depends On
Good cyber security protects more than computers. It should reduce risk across the people, accounts, systems and services that keep your organisation operating.
Your Devices
PCs and laptops need protection, security updates and sensible configuration to reduce exposure to known threats.
Microsoft 365
Email, Teams, OneDrive and business accounts need the right identity, access and security settings around them.
Your Operations
Security should help protect the systems and information your business needs to keep trading and serving customers.

Practical Security Controls for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Endpoint Protection & EDR
Protection for supported PCs and laptops designed to detect and respond to suspicious activity beyond traditional antivirus alone.
Microsoft 365 Security
Help improving identity, access and security controls across Microsoft 365 environments.
Security Patching
Keeping supported devices and software updated to reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Cyber Essentials Support

More than antivirus
Cyber Security Is More Than Installing Antivirus
Modern attacks do not always begin with a virus. Criminals can target user accounts, stolen passwords, unpatched devices, email and weak Microsoft 365 settings.
A stronger approach combines endpoint protection with identity security, patching, sensible access controls and regular review of the environment.
Stolen or compromised credentials
Phishing and malicious email
Unpatched software and devices
Weak account and administrator controls
Microsoft 365 security
Microsoft 365 Is One of Your Most Important Security Environments
For many SMEs, Microsoft 365 contains email, documents, collaboration, user accounts and access to wider business systems.
That makes account security and configuration just as important as protecting the physical device an employee uses.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Add another layer of protection beyond a password alone.
Account Security
Review identity settings, access and account controls.
Administrator Access
Reduce unnecessary privileged access to important systems.
Permissions & Configuration
Help identify settings that may expose data or accounts unnecessarily.
Cyber Essentials support

Cyber security FAQs

priorities include multi-factor authentication, secure
user accounts, patching, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365
security, appropriate backups and sensible access controls.
Is antivirus enough to protect a business?
Antivirus is only one part of cyber security.
Businesses also need to consider identity and account
security, software updates, Microsoft 365 configuration,

Endpoint Detection and Response, or EDR, is a type of
security technology designed to monitor endpoint activity
and help identify suspicious behaviour beyond traditional
antivirus protection.
