What we offer

For businesses, safeguarding your networks and data is paramount for both you and your valued customers. There's no more opportune moment than now to enhance and fortify your digital defenses. Regardless of your organisation's size, we are committed to assisting you in strengthening your security, reliability, and compliance. In the UK, the prevalence of hacking and cyber security breaches is significant, with nearly 50% of businesses encountering threats to their security. The British Government advises organisations to take precautionary measures to mitigate the risks of fraud and theft.

Regardless of your business size, investing in cyber security and taking proactive measures is a prudent decision that can lead to cost savings in the future. Hacking and cyber security breaches have the potential to disrupt your IT systems and tarnish the trusted reputation you've built with your current and potential customers. According to the Government’s 2022 Cyber Security Breaches Survey, around four in ten UK businesses (39%) and three in ten charities (30%) have reported at least one cyber security breach. These threats manifest in various forms, such as fraudulent emails, redirection to deceptive websites, online impersonation of the organization, viruses, malware, and ransomware.

The majority of breaches can be avoided, the survey indicates that only a limited number of businesses have fully implemented the recommended improvements by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). Smaller businesses, in particular, are less likely to have these controls in place. Have you taken all possible measures to safeguard your business? Do you currently have the essential controls implemented? It's important to note that some businesses do not recover from a breach. The question is, can you afford to remain inactive?

One of the prevalent ways to compromise your security involves targeting your staff, whether intentionally or unknowingly. Deliberate attempts are made through emails, phone calls, and even advertising on reputable websites, as exploiting individuals is often the most effective approach for those seeking to breach your security. Our security awareness training is designed to empower your staff with the skills to identify potential security threats, evade them, and promptly report any suspicious activity.

To instill confidence in your customers regarding your security protocols, InfoStart offers support in implementing ISO 27001, the benchmark for information security, or obtaining certification for Cyber Essentials. Additionally, we can enhance your security posture through a comprehensive cyber security audit or by providing a part-time virtual CISO to offer guidance to your board and oversee your information security programs.
