Cyber security made practical

Put practical protection in place for your accounts, devices and information. We help configure the controls, plan the changes and agree who will look after them.

Put the right protections in place

Start with the systems your team uses and the information your business depends on. We agree which controls need attention, how they fit together and what your team will need to do differently.

Accounts and sign-ins

Configure multifactor authentication, administrator permissions and remote access. Put clear arrangements in place for creating accounts, changing access and removing it when someone leaves.

Computers and devices

Set up and maintain agreed device management, security software, updates and encryption. Establish which devices are covered and who takes action when something needs attention.

Email protection

Configure email filtering and account protections around the services you use. Help staff recognise suspicious requests and establish a clear route for reporting messages they are unsure about.

Files and permissions

Organise access to shared information and review external sharing. Help people reach the files they need while limiting unnecessary access, including permissions held by guests and suppliers.

Backups and recovery

Set up and review agreed backup arrangements, identify what needs protecting and plan recovery checks. Make recovery priorities and the responsibilities of your team and providers clear.

People and incident readiness

Help turn policies into guidance people can use. Agree how staff report concerns, who takes the first steps and how issues are escalated to the right people and suppliers.

Make the changes work for your team

Work can be scoped as a defined project or as part of ongoing IT management. Before starting, we agree the priorities, responsibilities, costs and any effect on the people using your systems.

  1. Agree the priorities

    Understand what is already in place and what needs improving. Confirm the systems in scope, the access required and any dependencies on licences or other providers.

  2. Introduce the changes

    Plan configuration changes around your working day. Agree approvals, testing and any phased rollout, with clear guidance for people whose sign-in or working practices will change.

  3. Review and maintain

    Confirm who will maintain the controls and handle issues after delivery. Where ongoing care is included, agree what is checked, how concerns are raised and when wider changes need separate planning.

Need a clearer starting point?

If you already know what needs fixing, we can discuss that directly. If you need a wider view, a focused cyber security audit can identify gaps, explain their significance and help you decide what to tackle first. We agree the audit scope and any follow-up work separately.

Talk through your security priorities

Tell us what you use, what concerns you and whether you need a specific change or ongoing help. We will agree a practical starting point.
