Cyber Security In Huddersfield

Protection for your people, devices and Microsoft 365, run by a Kirklees team about six miles away, so security stops being another job on your list.

Most Attacks Start With a Login

Antivirus on every laptop used to be most of the job. Today many attacks begin with an account instead: a password reused somewhere else, an MFA prompt approved without thinking, or a convincing email asking someone to sign in.

So we protect identities, devices, email and the network together, and keep watching them. When something looks wrong, such as a sign-in from another country or a new rule forwarding mail outside the business, it's investigated and contained.

Most of this runs remotely and in the background. Because our office is in Mirfield, about six miles from Huddersfield, an engineer can be with you when an incident needs someone on site.

What's Covered

  • Endpoint detection and response on every device
  • Microsoft 365 identity and sign-in monitoring
  • MFA and Conditional Access
  • Email security and anti-phishing policies
  • Patching and device health monitoring
  • Microsoft 365 backup
  • Phishing simulations and awareness training
  • Cyber Essentials readiness and submission

Start With the Risks That Matter Most

Security reports that list two hundred findings in no particular order don't get acted on. We'd rather tell you the five things that matter, fix them, then move on to the next five.

01

Assess

Microsoft Secure Score, MFA coverage, admin accounts, patch levels, backups and email settings.

02

Explain

A plain-English summary of where you're exposed and why it matters to your business specifically.

03

Fix the biggest gaps

Prioritised changes, scheduled with you so they don't trip anyone up on a Monday morning.

04

Monitor and train

Continuous monitoring of devices and accounts, plus phishing simulations that show who needs a refresher.

05

Certify

Cyber Essentials, so customers, insurers and supply chains can see the work has been done.

Security Services For Huddersfield Firms

Each layer has its own page if you'd like the detail. Together, they're designed to cover the routes attackers actually use.

If an Account Is Compromised

A compromised account is a critical incident, with a 30 minute response on our managed plans. This is what happens next.

Contain

Sessions revoked, credentials reset and the account locked down, so the attacker loses access straight away.

Investigate

Inbox rules, sign-in history, shared files and sent mail reviewed to find out what was accessed and what was changed.

Explain and Harden

A plain account of what happened and who needs telling, then changes so the same route can't be used twice.

Watched Remotely, Backed Up Locally

Security monitoring doesn't depend on where we are. Devices and accounts are watched continuously, and on our Professional plan that includes managed detection and response with 24/7 threat monitoring.

When an incident needs hands on a machine, such as isolating a device or rebuilding a laptop, Huddersfield is about six miles from our office by road. Critical incidents get same-day onsite dispatch.

Huddersfield Cyber Security Questions

Do small businesses really need managed cyber security?

Smaller businesses are often targeted precisely because they have fewer defences, and most attacks are automated rather than hand-picked. Managed security gives a 20 or 50 person business the kind of monitoring and response that would otherwise need a dedicated security team.

What's the difference between antivirus and managed detection and response?

Antivirus blocks known bad files. Managed detection and response watches device behaviour for signs of an attack, including ones no antivirus signature exists for yet, and a security team investigates and contains what it finds.

Can you protect Microsoft 365 accounts as well as computers?

Yes. Identity is where many attacks start, so we secure and monitor Microsoft 365 sign-ins, mailboxes and sharing alongside your devices.

Can you carry out a one-off security assessment?

Yes. A Microsoft 365 tenant hardening project can run on its own, with a full assessment, the fixes made and documentation handed back at the end.

Do you run phishing tests and staff training?

Yes. We send realistic simulated phishing emails, report on who clicked, and provide short, practical training rather than hour-long videos nobody finishes.

Can you work alongside our internal IT person?

Yes. Some businesses keep someone in-house for day-to-day IT and use us for security. We agree who owns what, and share alerts and reports so nothing is missed.
