Security

Security that people work around protects nothing. We deploy tools that hold up to audit without making the working day harder.

What we deploy In Summary

Endpoint protection — Bitdefender. Managed centrally so you can answer “is everything patched and protected?” with evidence rather than hope.

Network security — WatchGuard. Firewalls, secure Wi-Fi and threat detection at the boundary, sized to the site rather than to a price list.

Access security — Cisco Duo. Multi-factor authentication, single sign-on and device trust. The single highest-value control most organisations are still missing.

Why it usually matters here

Most of our clients are regulated, hold client funds, or handle personal data under GDPR — often all three. For them security is not an IT preference, it is an obligation with evidence attached.

Where that applies, we make sure the controls produce the records your auditors and your regulator will ask for.

Where to start

Start with the boring, high-value things: multi-factor authentication everywhere, backups that have actually been restored from, and patching you can prove.
