Protect your future success with Managed Cyber Security

Cyber Essentials certification indicates that your organisation takes a proactive stance against malicious cyber attacks. It demonstrates to customers, investors, insurers and others that you have taken the minimum yet essential precautions to protect your organisation against cyber threats.

Cyber Essentials is a foundation level certification designed to provide a statement of the basic controls your organisation should have in place to mitigate the risk from common cyber threats. This is achieved through a self-assessment process carried out under the guidance of our cyber security experts. Cyber Essentials Plus is a more rigorous test of your organisation’s cyber security systems where our cyber security experts carry out vulnerability tests to make sure that your organisation is protected against basic hacking and phishing attacks.

Before applying for Cyber Essentials, we recommend performing a Gap Analysis to identify any areas that need addressing. Once remediation is completed, we can then support you through the assessment process, gathering the required information and ensuring your documentation and procedures are all in order.

Most successful cyber attacks are where the employee fell victim to a phishing attack or failed to work to best practice. Our service shows over time how your risk score improves as your team becomes more engaged with the training.

The purpose of Vulnerability Management is to keep your business safe from known exploitations and ensure you stay compliant with any regulatory requirements. It does this by analyzing your systems for any incompatibilities, missed updates and common weaknesses within the software you use.

While monthly point-in-time scans provide insight in to the status of the assets scanned, the information is only valuable at that moment in time. With vulnerabilities being identified on a daily basis, it is important for your assets to be continuously monitored against newly discovered threats.

While installing security patches is a critical part of good security management, this alone will not sufficiently protect your business. Many threats target the configuration of devices, so an incorrectly configured device can be an open door to cyber threats.

DMARC proactively reviews email message headers to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. DMARC works with DKIM and SPF authentication to verify legitimate emails before delivery and reject malicious emails before they are delivered.

Having discovered where your business is exposed, you will be able to make informed decisions on future investment in cyber security, as well as provide assurances to key stakeholders and clients. The Assessment will cover the secure configuration of your devices, network services and user accounts, as well as the policies and procedures defined to ensure data is not exposed.
