Cyber security

Protection that fits a real business.

The risks we see in Tamworth are rarely exotic. A copied invoice. A mailbox login that was too simple. A backup that was never tested. A spare laptop still signed in as the owner. That’s the work, for businesses here and out to Gunnedah, Armidale, Muswellbrook and Walcha.

What we actually put in place

Sign-in with a second step

Multi-factor authentication on email and Microsoft 365, so a password found in a breach isn’t enough.

Email that questions odd requests

Filtering for the fake invoices, the “boss needs gift cards” notes, and the links that don’t go where they claim.

Firewalls and separate Wi-Fi

Office machines kept apart from guests, phones and the equipment that doesn’t need to see your files.

Backups kept out of reach

Copies of files, servers and Microsoft 365 that a scrambled computer can’t encrypt along with everything else.

A calm first hour

If someone has clicked something, or paid an invoice that now looks wrong, ring us before you start deleting things. We’ll help you work out what was touched.

We won’t dress it up

You don’t need a security operations centre in another country to run a good local business. You need the basics done, someone watching the things that matter, and advice you can act on. If a control is there for a brochure and not for you, we won’t sell it.

Staff should feel all right asking “does this look real?”. That question has saved more businesses than any piece of software.

Worried about something today?

If an email, a payment or a locked computer doesn’t feel right, call. Don’t forward the suspicious message around the office first.
