Why IT Security Matters More Than Ever

Ransomware attacks on UK SMEs increased sharply through 2024 and 2025. NHS Trusts and public sector bodies face sustained targeted attacks. Small businesses are increasingly targeted precisely because they're assumed to have weaker defences.

Endpoint Protection

Enterprise EDR deployment and management across Windows, macOS and mobile. Managed alerts and response by our Manchester team.

Firewall Management

Configuration, monitoring and ongoing management of perimeter and internal firewalls. Regular audits and rule reviews.

Threat Monitoring

24/7 security event monitoring through Netminder. Correlation across network, endpoint and cloud layers. Alert triage and escalation by our Manchester security team.

Vulnerability Assessment

Scheduled and on-demand scanning of external attack surface and internal network. Prioritised remediation reporting with practical fix guidance.

Access Control & Identity

MFA, privileged access management and identity governance across Active Directory, Azure AD and third-party platforms.

Security Awareness Training

Phishing simulation and staff training programmes. Required under NHS and public sector governance frameworks.
