Cyber Security for businesses in Leicester - manufacturing and textiles, logistics and distribution, and a large independent and multicultural business community - delivered from our base a short drive away in Rushden.
Leicester is considerably larger than the other towns on this list, and its business base reflects a longer and more varied history: a textile and garment manufacturing sector that has shrunk and diversified rather than disappeared, a substantial logistics and distribution presence on the M1 corridor, and one of the most ethnically diverse independent-business communities in the county.
That size and variety means there is no single "Leicester business" to design around. A family-run import business, a distribution operation on the ring road and a professional practice in the city centre have very little in common technically, and the honest starting point here is the same as everywhere else - working out which conversation we are actually having before quoting anything.
The scale and diversity of Leicester's economy means the security risk profile varies enormously by business - a large distribution operation facing invoice fraud at volume looks nothing like a small family firm worried about a single compromised account. We assess each on its own facts rather than applying one template.
Leicester's manufacturing and import businesses increasingly find security requirements arriving from customers or insurers rather than being a choice, in the same pattern we see around Wellingborough's supply chains - a larger buyer's assessment landing with a deadline, or an insurance renewal asking pointed questions nobody has answered honestly before.
Everything below is part of the service in Leicester, not a list of optional extras priced separately.
We look at what you already have before recommending anything, because most businesses are further ahead in some areas and much further behind in others than they believe.
Modern endpoint detection and response across laptops, desktops and servers, actively monitored rather than installed once and forgotten about.
Filtering for phishing, impersonation and malicious attachments. Email is still how most incidents begin, and invoice fraud in particular arrives by email rather than through any technical weakness.
Multi-factor authentication and conditional access, so that a password captured in a phishing attack is not by itself enough for someone to get in.
Short, practical sessions rather than an annual slide deck, plus simulated phishing so you find out who clicks before somebody real does.
Regular scanning for unpatched software and exposed services, reported in plain English with a clear order of what to fix first.
Many businesses come to this because a customer, insurer or public-sector contract now demands it. We assess you against the controls, close the gaps and support you through certification.
An agreed plan for who does what, who gets called and how you keep operating - written before you need it, so the early decisions are made calmly rather than at speed.
Leicester is a longer run from our Rushden base than the Northamptonshire towns, but still a same-day journey when an engineer needs to be on site. Our trading address is Rushden, Northamptonshire.
This page covers what we do for Leicester businesses specifically. The national service page carries the complete detail, including plans and pricing.
