Cyber Security for businesses in London - an exceptionally wide range of SMEs across professional services, technology, agencies and independent business - delivered remotely as standard, with site visits scheduled rather than same-day.
London is a different kind of place on this list, and we are straightforward about that rather than pretending otherwise. It is not one business community - a five-person agency in a co-working space and a fifty-person firm with its own suite have almost nothing in common - and no single description of "London business" would mean anything.
What we can say plainly: the market here is more competitive than anywhere else we serve, decisions get made faster, and a website or a phone system is frequently doing more of the persuading before anyone has a conversation, because there is always another supplier one search away.
London businesses are more likely than most we see to face a formal security questionnaire from a client, an insurer or a corporate procurement process, simply because the concentration of larger, more security-conscious buyers is higher here. Being able to evidence security rather than assert it is increasingly the actual requirement.
Higher-value transactions and a faster pace of business make impersonation and payment-redirection fraud more lucrative to attempt against London SMEs than against a typical smaller-town business - a convincing email, an altered invoice, a payment sent before anyone stops to question it. The defences that stop most of it cost very little, which makes it worth checking they are actually in place rather than assumed.
Everything below is part of the service in London, 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.
London is not a short drive from our Rushden base, and we do not pretend it is. Support for London businesses is delivered remotely as standard - which covers the overwhelming majority of what comes up day to day - with site visits scheduled in advance rather than same-day. It is a different service model from the closer towns, not a lesser one; the same engineers, the same response commitments on anything that can be fixed remotely, and honesty upfront about the one thing that is genuinely different. Our trading address is Rushden, Northamptonshire.
This page covers what we do for London businesses specifically. The national service page carries the complete detail, including plans and pricing.
