Cyber Security Services
Cyber security isn’t just about preventing breaches or attacks, it’s about keeping your business running smoothly. Our cyber security services help businesses reduce risk, prevent disruption and stay secure so you don’t need to worry about cyber threats.
Why Cyber Security Matters for Your Business
Business continuity
Cyber attacks can disrupt business operations, leading to costly downtime and slowing the productivity of your team. Effective cyber security minimises these risks, keeping your business running smoothly so your staff can focus on managing their work, not crisis management.
Client trust
Keeping your clients and partners data safe and secure isn’t just important, it’s expected. Having strong cyber security shows professionalism and reliability, reassuring clients and stakeholders that their information is in good hands.
Compliance & risk reduction
Meeting standards like Cyber Essentials or GDPR isn’t just about ticking boxes, it helps businesses to reduce financial, legal and reputational risk while showing commitment to responsible practices.
Peace of mind
There are enough things to worry about in business, and cyber security doesn’t need to be one of them. With the right proactive measures in place, you and your team can focus on performance and growth with the confidence that your cyber security is taken care of.

Our Core Cyber Security Services
Avanan 14-Day Free Trial
Email is still the most common way cyber attacks begin. Phishing, invoice fraud, and account takeover don’t rely on obvious malware – they rely on messages that look genuine. Avanan (Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration) adds an advanced layer of protection to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, helping identify and stop email-based threats that native security can miss.
Huntress 14-Day Free Trial
Huntress Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) focuses specifically on identifying and responding to suspicious identity activity within Microsoft 365.
Browser Security Service
Most modern cyber attacks don’t break through a firewall, they happen directly inside the browser.

Cyber Security Consultancy Services
Our cyber security consultancy services give you a tailored, end-to-end view of your cyber security. We provide expert guidance across all areas, from technical training and security architecture design to breach investigations and recovery after a cyber attack.
Security Awareness Training
Research shows that 84% of data breaches involve human error, such as phishing. We can deliver comprehensive, expert-informed cyber security training for your employees, helping to plug a considerable gap in your cyber defences. Our training team is made up of Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSPs).
Information Security Management
Data is one of your business’s most valuable assets, yet breaches are common—from lost laptops to hacked customer data. Taking simple, practical steps now can reduce risks and help build a strong Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Cyber Security Review and Audit
The first step in implementing effective cyber security is identifying strengths and weaknesses, so you know where to allocate resources. We conduct a thorough, in-person audit of your entire system in line with best practices laid out by ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials.
Fully Managed Cyber Security Protection
Complete cyber security coverage, with all facets of digital security taken care of. The Optimising IT team will independently manage and maintain your entire cyber security system.
Penetration Testing
A key tenet of our cyber security service is helping you identify flaws in your existing protections. Backed by accreditation from the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST), our penetration testing will deliberately attempt to poke holes in your cyber security to spot weaknesses.
Common Cyber Threats for SMEs
Large corporations aren’t the only victims of cyber security attacks, even small and medium businesses face cyber risks and understanding them is the first step to protection. Here’s what to look out for:
Phishing & Social Engineering
Phishing and social engineering are smart tactics that trick employees into giving away sensitive information. We can help to train your staff to recognise these types of suspicious messages.
Ransomware & Malware
Ransomware locks your systems until a payment is made. Keeping on top of regular updates, backups and implementing secure systems reduces the risk.
Human Error
Not all threats come from outside the business. Some mistakes from employees can put your business at risk. There are simple controls that can be implemented to dramatically reduce these threats.
Proactive vs Reactive Cyber Security Solutions
The best cybersecurity doesn’t just fix problems after they happen. The smartest approach works to combine both proactive and reactive measures that protect your business across the board.
Proactive Measures
- Patching: Keeping your systems and software up to date.
- Monitoring: Suspicious activity can sometimes be spotted early.
- Training: Educating staff to recognise phishing, malware and other common scams.
Reactive Measures
- Incident response: Having clear processes for what to do if a breach or attack happens.
- Breach management: This involves containing the threat, recovering lost data, and putting systems in place to prevent recurrence.
Compliance & Regulation Support
Standards like Cyber Essentials, GDPR and ISO 27001 help you do the right things to protect your data and your customers. Adhering to these standards means you get a clear framework for managing security properly, not just reacting when something goes wrong.
