How Cyber Security Advisory Services Work
We know that tackling cyber security can feel overwhelming, so we’ve made our process as simple and straightforward as possible. Here’s how we work with you to keep your business secure:
1. Understanding Your Business & Security Needs
First things first—we take the time to get to know your business. We’ll look at your current IT setup, identify any weak spots, and chat with you about your specific security needs. This helps us understand where you’re at and what needs to happen next.
2. Creating a Custom Cyber Security Plan
Once we’ve got a clear picture, we’ll put together a cyber security plan that’s just for you. Whether it’s incident response, protecting your data, meeting compliance standards, or sorting out vulnerabilities, we’ll make sure the strategy fits perfectly with your day-to-day operations.
3. Implementing & Monitoring Security Measures
This is where we roll up our sleeves. We’ll put the plan into action, setting up all the necessary protections—from firewalls to monitoring tools. But we don’t stop there. We keep an eye on your systems around the clock to catch and stop any potential threats before they become a problem.
4. Ongoing Protection & Support
Cyber threats are always changing, and we make sure your defences stay one step ahead. We’ll handle updates, install security patches, and keep everything running smoothly. And if you ever have questions or run into an issue, our friendly team is always here to help.
Cyber Security Advisory Services Case Study
When CT4N found out their email system had been hacked, it highlighted a serious gap in their security. Without them realising it, their systems had been compromised, creating risks that could have caused significant disruption and damage.
We acted fast to regain control, stopping the threat in its tracks and ensuring business continuity. But we didn’t stop there. Once the immediate crisis was resolved, we worked with CT4N to build a tailored, long-term solution to safeguard their systems and give them the confidence to move forward securely.
"We’ve had instances in the past where none of us were aware that emails – my emails – had been hacked. That risk could have been quite severe for the business, but fortunately, we managed to get on top of it straight away.”
