Cybersecurity

We focus on practical hygiene and risk reduction for growing teams. Formal compliance programs or deep penetration tests can be scoped when needed — the assessment clarifies what you actually need.

No. We recommend changes and tools only where they reduce real risk for your size and stack.

Cyber priorities sit beside day-to-day IT. Many clients run both so monitoring, patching, and hardening stay in one conversation.

Backup & Recovery sits under Cybersecurity (and pairs with Managed IT). The free assessment clarifies what to protect first and how restore should work — including tools such as Acronis or Veeam when they fit.

Cybersecurity pricing is set after a free assessment, because every business has different devices, accounts, and risks. The assessment shows what to protect first. Onboard then gathers access, assets, and a clean picture of the environment, and the deeper work, like locking down accounts, test-restoring backups and removing old access, is scoped from there. Scope and fees are confirmed in a proposal before paid work begins.

Most small businesses need five basics before anything fancy: multi-factor authentication on every account, a password manager, managed antivirus or endpoint protection, tested backups, and staff who can spot phishing. These cover the attacks that hit small teams most often. Once they're solid, we look at email security, device policies and access reviews.

Yes. Small businesses are frequent targets because attackers expect weaker defences, and most attacks are automated, not personal. Phishing emails, stolen passwords and fake invoices hit businesses of every size. The good news is that the basics, like multi-factor authentication and backups, stop most of these attacks without a big budget.

Change the affected password from a clean device right away and sign that account out everywhere. Then call your IT provider before deleting anything, because the evidence helps show what was touched. Check for new email forwarding rules, warn your contacts if fake emails went out, and confirm your backups are intact.

Many small businesses benefit from cyber insurance, and insurers now expect proof of basic controls before they'll cover you. Expect questions about multi-factor authentication, backups, endpoint protection, patching and staff training. We help you answer the questionnaire accurately and close the gaps, but the coverage decision sits with you and your broker.

Combine three layers: email filtering to catch most phishing, multi-factor authentication so a stolen password isn't enough, and short, regular staff training so people pause before clicking. No single tool catches everything. A simple rule helps a lot: anyone asked to change payment details or send money confirms by phone first.

Yes. A business password manager is far safer than reused passwords or a shared spreadsheet. It lets each person use strong, unique passwords, share logins without exposing them, and remove access quickly when someone leaves. The tradeoff is that the master account becomes critical, so protect it with multi-factor authentication and a recovery plan.

Test a restore at least once a quarter, and after any major change. A backup you've never restored is only a hope. We check that the files actually come back, that cloud data like Microsoft 365 is included, and that at least one copy can't be changed or deleted by ransomware.
