The Office of National Statistics (ONS) report that, in year ending March 2022, 39% of UK businesses had identified cyber breaches or attacks in the previous twelve months. We provide secure IT services and network management, delivering IT security audits, guiding you through the Cyber Essentials Certification process and incident response – cleaning up and tightening your security after a data breach.
IT SECURITY AUDITS
An IT security audit exposes any security risks to your network and delivers the strategy to implement the necessary steps to protect data and user identity. Our security audits are tailor made to suit the client’s requirements and budget, and cover all aspects of your IT infrastructure whether a business or an individual working from home.
Key areas of investigation include internal network practices; endpoint protection, password policies, firewall/router configuration and data management. External elements reviewed include online privacy, hosted data management, email systems and access to internal network resources.
A secure network is the foundation of good cyber security practice. Get in touch to discuss managing your risk and protecting your information from ever-evolving cyber security threats.
CYBER ESSENTIALS CERTIFICATION
The Cyber Essentials Scheme was developed by the UK Government to prevent the most prevalent forms of cyber-attacks. Acquiring certification brings a number of benefits beyond peace of mind.
THE CYBER ESSENSTIALS SCHEME FOCUSES ON FIVE KEY CONTROL AREAS:
SECURE CONFIGURATION
BOUNDARY FIREWALLS & INTERNET GATEWAYS
ACCESS CONTROL
PATCH MANAGEMENT
MALWARE PROTECTION
INCIDENT RESPONSE
When an IT infrastructure is correctly designed and implemented, this greatly reduces the likelihood of a security incident, but if one occurs companies and individuals need a swift and professional response to aid with damage limitation.
The hours immediately after an attack are the most crucial in investigation, isolation and, ultimately, response. Don’t leave it to chance, ensure you are partnered with a knowledgeable, experienced and responsive company who’s poised to act in the event of an incident.
