Infrastructure

Security and Reliability.

Backups that restore, access that is controlled, updates that happen

Security and Reliability. Access control, patching, backups that have actually been restored from, and a plan for the day something fails. We work through what would hurt most if it went down, then put the boring safeguards in place so it does not.

What we do here.

Almost every compromise of a small business is automated and indiscriminate. Nobody chose you, something scanned you, and the thing it found was old software, a weak login or a service exposed that should not have been.

We start with what would hurt most if it went wrong, then work through access, patching and backups. It is unglamorous and it is where nearly all the real risk lives, well before anything exotic.

Backups get restored from in front of you, because until that has happened you have a file rather than a backup. For most businesses a focused review of access, patching, backups and exposure finds more than a long formal audit would, at a fraction of the cost.

How we deliver it.

  • Discover and scope. We review your processes, systems and goals, then agree the scope, budget and timeline with you.
  • Build and ship. We build and test your system in planned stages, with progress reviews at each agreed milestone.
  • Train and hand over. We deploy, document and train your staff, then provide ongoing support once the system is live.
  • Get you running and keep you running. We handle the whole project, from planning and building your systems to getting them live. After launch we stay on to support, maintain and update everything, so your team never manages the technology.
  • Work with your team. You know the problem but not the technical solution. We validate the idea, build the system and train the people who will run it. After launch, we step back or provide continued support where needed.
  • Join your team. You have staff and a roadmap, but a skills gap is slowing down your progress. We place one of our experienced engineers within your team to close it, for an agreed fixed period or on an ongoing basis.

FAQs

Are we really a target?
Almost all of it is automated and indiscriminate. Nobody chose you, something scanned you, and small businesses get compromised constantly for exactly that reason.
Where do you start?
With what would hurt most if it went wrong, then access, patching and backups. It is unglamorous and it is where nearly all real risk sits.
How do we know our backups work?
Because we restore from one and show you. Until that has happened you do not have a backup, you have a file.
Do we need a full audit?
Not always. For most businesses a focused review of access, patching, backups and exposure finds more than a long formal audit would, at a fraction of the cost.
