We provide IT security services for Nottingham-based companies that want to protect against or recover from cyber attacks. We have over 20 years experience in dealing with IT security issues and have the skillset and the toolset to provide the best security service in Nottingham.

Your users may not be able to access their important documents, there’s risk of intellectual property loss. There’s also the potential that all computer systems may need to be replaced to ensure any intruders no longer can access your network – being hacked is one of the most disruptive events that can happen to any sized business. To make matters worse, cyberattacks are on the rise. Two thirds of businesses experience cyber attacks (some without even knowing it) and 90% of those attacks are caused by the actions of users.

You may have read about large-scale attacks of ransomware and data loss, but you usually don’t see the smaller businesses that experience the same on a frequent basis. Smaller businesses usually suffer much more than larger businesses due to lack of backup testing and adequate processes to ensure no data loss. Our Nottingham-based IT support team have over 20 years experience in both preventing and dealing with the consequences of cyber-attacks. We build all our process and systems with IT Security in mind, it’s at the heart of what we do.

Antivirus Protection

Although Windows has basic free antivirus protection – any alerts need to be examined by a trained professional. Any antivirus alerts need to be checked to see how the virus made it onto the computer system to ensure any potential holes are patched.

Ransomware Protection

Ransomware is probably the most destructive threat - it can cripple an entire business. The way to stop ransomware is implement the right systems and processes. Through a combination of identity & device protection, along with cloud-based backups - we can protection any business from ransomware.

Identity Protection

The old paradigm of having a firewall at the edge of your network is gone - data and users login everywhere and therefore need protecting everywhere. Through the use of AI, we detect abnormal user behaviour, physically impossible logins & elevated user actions. We also manually check data for every client every morning.

Endpoint Security

Along with protecting users, devices also need protecting. Securing business mobile devices or personal devices with business data on is important to maintain security. We can help encrypt devices to stop data loss, help with lost / stolen devices, apply security configurations for compliance and much more.

Phishing Protection

Most threats are caused by users, and most of these users fall foul to attacks that are executed via phishing. We understand the techniques hackers use to trick users and have created a sophisticated phishing protection platform. We also offer valuable phishing training and execute simulated attacks to discover training strategies.

E-Mail Protection

E-mail protection isn't just scanning emails for viruses. We replace links in emails with a safe link that goes through virus scanning. We apply protection for users from phishing attacks. We protect attachments from zero-day vulnerabilities via a detonation chamber along with the standard but best of breed spam technologies.

Custom IT security for your business

How much does our IT Security service cost?

Our security services (both advice and processes) are built into our support contracts for no extra charge. We may require you to have cloud-based email / identities for maximum protection. For the full feature set, it will require you to update from standard Office 365 to Microsoft 365, or migrate services to the Microsoft Cloud.

What products do you use?

We use a combination of Microsoft Products and Services to keep our service cost effective. We use Microsoft 365 for core services, Microsoft Endpoint Manager for device protection, Advanced Email Threat protection for E-mail security & our qualified experts professional services to configure it all correctly (this is the most important part).

You check manually every day?

Yes we do. It's monumentally important to have a human sanity check. We manually check all our clients' Azure Active Directory tenants for risky logins, or threats we think are important enough to take action on. We do this every morning but also are on hand 24/7 to act on any threats detected by our artificial intelligence based automated systems.

How do you protect mobile devices?

We can use MEM also to automate new device configuration using Windows 10 autopilot and publishing company apps directly to any device type.
