Cybersecurity

We manage your security across devices, identities and Microsoft 365, with SOC and MDR options for round-the-clock monitoring and engineers who fix what let threats in. We also build cyber resilience through backup and tested recovery, working alongside your IT team or provider.

Managed security and cyber resilience services

We run security as an ongoing managed service, deliver defined projects such as Essential Eight uplift or recovery testing, or combine the two, working alongside your IT team or provider where you have one.

Managed Cybersecurity

We manage Microsoft 365, identity, email and endpoint security, with SOC and MDR available around the clock if you need it. Our engineers remediate the cause and strengthen your controls, including Essential Eight gap review and uplift.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

We protect Microsoft 365, servers and other workloads, with retention, isolated backup copies and recovery plans matched to your business. Restore testing shows what can be recovered, so gaps are fixed before you need a restore.

Identity, Microsoft 365 and backup

Cyber resilience designed around how your systems connect

A compromised account can reach email, business systems and even backup access. We design controls, alert response and recovery around those dependencies, and keep the records that show each one working.

Security capability

Security capability

SOC & MDR options

Monitoring, triage and response across endpoints, identities and security alerts, with escalation outside business hours.

Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security

Security review and hardening across identity, Conditional Access, admin roles, mailbox exposure and tenant visibility.

Essential Eight gap review and uplift

Practical uplift across MFA, patching, application control, admin privileges, endpoint hardening and the records that show it.

Backup and recovery evidence

Backup success, restore testing, immutable architecture, Microsoft 365 backup, identity recovery, RTO and RPO reviewed against risk.

Common triggers

Where our security engagements usually start

Most engagements start with one of these and extend across identity, devices and recovery from there.

01 Ongoing ownership of security alerts Managed Cybersecurity

We take on the review, investigation and follow-through for your security alerts. Our engineers work through the remediation, and the SOC and MDR option adds round-the-clock cover where you need it.

Protection we operate daily, evidence you can hand over

How we work

How we approach your security

Cyber risk depends on how the environment is configured, accessed and operated. A Microsoft 365 setting, an admin account, an endpoint alert, a backup platform and a payment approval process all shape the same risk position.

01

Map the operating environment

We review identity, privileged access, endpoints, email, backup and the platforms behind them.

02

Trace how a threat could get in

We find where compromise, disruption or control failure could realistically occur, and separate the symptoms from the real exposure.

03

Confirm the controls are working

We check that MFA, Conditional Access, admin roles, endpoint protection, backup and monitoring are configured and actually operating.

04

Build evidence and recovery confidence

We record what we find and fix, and test whether identity, data and systems can be restored, and how long it takes.

05

Operate and improve

Controls, alerts, backups and privileged access are reviewed regularly, so the evidence stays current as your business changes.

Our approach

Why businesses choose us for security

We operate security as well as advise on it, so findings turn into changes, alerts turn into action and recovery is tested before you depend on it.

  1. 01

    Microsoft 365 and identity depth

    We work through Conditional Access, MFA methods, mailbox rules, external sharing, app consent and the permissions behind them.

  2. 02

    Records that support decisions

    We document reviewed controls, remaining gaps and completed work, ready for your management, your customers and insurer questionnaires.

  3. 03

    A SOC that contains, engineers who follow through

    With our SOC and MDR option, threats are investigated and contained day and night, and our engineers then work through the cause across Microsoft 365, devices, networks and infrastructure.

  4. 04

    Technology and payment processes together

    We address account and email risk alongside the verification steps your team uses when payment details change.

  5. 05

    Recovery planned around dependencies

    We plan recovery around identity, access, networks and applications, so your teams can put restored data back to work.

  6. 06

    Works with your current IT arrangement

    You can keep your current Managed IT arrangement. We set up access and escalation with your team and work alongside them.

Common questions

Common questions about cybersecurity

Do we need to move our Managed IT to you?

No. You can engage us for security or backup and keep your current IT team or provider. We set up access, responsibilities and escalation with them before the work begins.

Can we start with a specific improvement?

Yes. We can deliver Microsoft 365 security improvements, an Essential Eight gap review and uplift, or recovery testing as a defined project, without an ongoing managed service.

Who handles security alerts and response?

Our engineers handle alerts and remediation as part of the managed service. Add the SOC and MDR option and the covered devices and identities are also monitored around the clock, with our SOC able to isolate a device or disable an account once a threat is confirmed. You receive a clear account of what happened and what changed.

How are you handling the Essential Eight changes?

ASD published the Essentials framework in October 2026, with guidance for organisations moving from the Essential Eight. Your existing controls and evidence still count, although Essential Eight maturity ratings don’t convert directly into Essentials ratings. We agree which framework and target suit your environment and obligations, then plan the uplift.

Can we buy Microsoft 365 backup on its own?

Yes. We can back up selected Microsoft 365 workloads without a Managed IT or managed security contract, with retention, restore options and responsibilities set for the data you need protected.

What does recovery testing cover?

We test the restore process for the systems you rely on, including the access, identity and application dependencies needed to get people working again, and record the results and any gaps we find.

What is the difference between a SOC, MDR and a SIEM?

A SOC is the security operations team or function that monitors and investigates security events. A SIEM is the technology that collects and analyses those events. MDR is a managed detection and response service that detects, investigates and contains threats on the devices and identities it covers. They often work together. Managed Cybersecurity offers a SOC and MDR option alongside our engineers, who fix the cause.

Does the Essential Eight apply to our business?

Non-corporate Commonwealth entities subject to the PSPF must meet Maturity Level Two. For other organisations it isn't mandatory, but contracts, customers or insurers may ask how you measure against it. We look at what applies to your environment and obligations, then agree whether a target level makes sense and what reaching it would involve.
