The two routes attackers use most often are an email and a device. Get email and endpoint security right and you close both, from phishing and stolen passwords to malware on a laptop. We set up and run the protection on the systems you already use, and watch over it so it keeps working.
Email security protects against phishing, impersonation, and malicious attachments and links, the route most attacks take. Endpoint security protects the devices your people work on, laptops, desktops and phones, against malware and misuse. Together they close the most common ways into a business.
Many businesses already own the tools, often inside Microsoft 365, and have never had them configured or maintained. We set the protection to a sensible standard and keep it there.
Filtering and anti phishing tuned to catch the mail that gets through the basics, plus protection against impersonation and business email compromise.
Multi factor authentication and conditional access across every account, so a stolen password is not enough on its own. It is one of the most effective controls you can put in place.
Modern endpoint protection on every device, with security updates managed centrally so machines stay patched. We use the tools you have, including Microsoft Defender.
Data loss prevention so confidential information cannot leave by the wrong route by accident, scoped to what your business handles.
Tightening security should not stop your people working, so we roll it out in an order that lets day-to-day work carry on.
We check what is already turned on, what is misconfigured, and where you are exposed across email, identity and devices.
We start with the highest value controls: multi factor authentication and email filtering.
We deploy across your people and devices in a planned way, with clear guidance, so nothing breaks the working day.
We keep it current and, for managed clients, watch over it as part of detection and response.
We hardened a business already paying for the right licences but barely using them: multi factor authentication on across the board, email protection tuned, endpoints patched and under management. It is written up in our Business Premium security rollout case study.
None of it was exotic. These are the controls attackers count on you neglecting, which is the point of email and endpoint security: not buying more, but using what you already own.
Endpoint security protects the devices your people work on, laptops, desktops and phones, against malware, unauthorised access and misuse. Modern endpoint protection does more than antivirus: it watches for suspicious behaviour and can isolate a compromised device. Paired with managed security updates, it closes one of the two most common ways into a business.
Because it targets people, not just technology. Phishing, impersonation and business email compromise trick someone into clicking a link, opening an attachment or handing over a password. No firewall stops a convincing email. Good email security filters the malicious mail, flags impersonation and checks links and attachments.
Usually you already own most of the tools, but they are rarely set up to their potential. Microsoft 365, especially the Business Premium licence, includes strong email protection, endpoint security with Defender, multi factor authentication and data controls. The gap is configuration and upkeep, not licensing, so we turn on and tune what you already pay for.
It is one of the most effective controls you can put in place. Stolen and guessed passwords are among the most common routes into an account, and multi factor authentication means a password on its own is no longer enough. Cyber Essentials expects it and cyber insurers ask about it. We set it up with conditional access, so it is strong without getting in your people's way.
Done well, barely at all. The aim is protection that is strong and quiet, not a lockdown that makes work painful and gets worked around. We roll changes out in a planned order and configure conditional access so it only challenges people when something looks risky. Good security fades into the background.
Book a security review and we will tell you where you are exposed across email, identity and devices, and what it takes to close it, usually with tools you already own.
