Cybersecurity Essentials for Growing Businesses
In the interconnected landscape of the modern business world, Cyber Security for Business is not just an optional layer of protection – it’s a crucial safeguard.
Whether you’re a fledgling startup or a medium-sized organisation ensuring robust cybersecurity is more essential than ever. Your size or financial health has no bearing on being targeted. Cybercrime is now automated and indiscriminate.
The Critical Impact of Data Loss
How would a significant data loss affect your operations?
A startling fact: A high percentage of organisations that suffer significant data loss will struggle or even cease to trade within 18 months.
It’s a daunting reality that emphasises the importance of Small to Medium Business Cyber Security. In today’s digital age, cyber threats such as viruses, hacker attacks, and other malicious activities are inevitable. Yet, if your organisation connects to the internet – as almost all do – there’s a chance that gaps exist in your defences, leaving your invaluable business data exposed.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in managed cyber security?
Our managed cyber security combines 24/7 SOC and SIEM monitoring, endpoint detection and response on every device, managed firewalls, email security, patching, backup and staff awareness. Threats are investigated and contained by our team, not just flagged in a report.
What is Cyber Essentials and does my business need it?
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme that proves you have five basic security controls in place: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and patching. It is required for many public-sector contracts, is often asked for by cyber insurers and larger customers, and blocks most common attacks.
What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment questionnaire. Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same controls but adds hands-on technical testing of your devices and systems by an assessor, so it gives customers and insurers a higher level of assurance.
What should we do if we think we have been hacked?
Disconnect the affected device from the network but do not switch it off, then call us straight away on 01727 881224. Our incident response team contains the threat, protects evidence, restores clean systems from backup and helps with reporting to the ICO or your insurer if needed.
Do you provide cyber security outside Hertfordshire?
Yes. We protect businesses across Hertfordshire, the Home Counties and London. Monitoring and response are delivered remotely around the clock, with engineers on site when needed.
