New software vulnerabilities are found daily, web application attacks leave websites vulnerable and viruses become increasingly silent and stealthy. Often, the simplest things such as weak passwords and uneducated staff can be the cause of an entire company infrastructure being compromised. Our aim is to make your company or organisation as unattractive to cybercriminals as possible - and keeping your sensitive financial and client data safe. This is done in a variety of ways including attack and penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, user awareness campaigns, and keeping your company constantly safe with a month-to-month service level agreement. We also consult and provide managed IT services to support medium sized firms with their IT infrastructure. We are a premium IT service provider focused on medium sized businesses. We no longer focus on the break & fix model as our aim is to prevent and minimize downtime.
