IT Security

What is IT Security?

IT security strengthens and protects your business from any cyber security risks. It prevents any unauthorised access from being able to access your assets such as PCs, WiFi networks and databases.

Your business is dependent on technology, which is why IT Security must be treated as a board-level issue. With our information security services, you can ensure your company has more than the minimum cyber essentials certification needed to protect your business, ensuring it is more than just secure, it is cyber resilient.

Any IT downtime will have an effect on productivity and could end up costing your company not only in terms of lost income but also the brand reputation and trust, which are much more difficult to spring back from. That is why our IT security services go much further than just providing protection against cyber breaches and advise on steps you can take to enable your business remains resilient. In the event of a break-in continuity, for example, your company will benefit from a robust and tested disaster recovery plan to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.

IT Security is hugely dependent on good governance. Staff awareness of cyber security best practice is a vital component in the fight against hacking and phishing attacks and is an integral part of your IT security strategy.

Our IT security services will help your decision-makers understand how their strategic decisions affect the company’s overall cyber resilience, enabling them to future-proof the business at the same time as driving it forward effectively and securely.

Why IT security is important for business

In order for your company to be financially stable, your technology infrastructure needs to run efficiently with minimal downtime. If your employees are unable to work because of network issues, your business ultimately loses money. This is why business IT security is one of the most important parts of running your organisation.

Having the best computers, servers, cloud services, and other information technology for your business is great, but it becomes meaningless if your company is hit by cyber attack and the technology is not properly secure. The right security is not something you should purchase from a box store. Hackers are creating increasingly sophisticated attacks, and most over-the-counter protection methods just aren’t able to handle it.

It won’t be if, but when hackers do penetrate your network, do you have the right plan in place to protect your business from serious damage?
Your business can’t afford to lose employee productivity, sensitive information, or access to your company’s important information. For business IT security, you need to have the right security team working with you to help protect against these attacks, and make sure any damage is minimal if an attack does get through.
