Cyber Security Consulting Services: Helping SMEs Stay Safe and Secure

In our experience, the answer to that question is cost and confusion. There are legitimate worries about the cost of comprehensive cyber security. And confusion as to what level of security is required for their business.

Intersys' cyber security consulting services can help you navigate these concerns. Our Baseline Assessment for SMEs will help you finally develop a hardened security  approach to help secure your business.

This is a foundational service that takes a pragmatic approach to protecting your organisation. Based on the UK National Cyber Security Centre's guidelines, we've developed a Hierarchy of Cyber Security Needs Pyramid (see below) that will become your roadmap to security.

Following the pyramid structure will help to ensure you implement baseline cyber security before addressing more expensive options such as a security operations centre (which may not even be appropriate for you).

Our cyber security consulting services ensure a solid, simple approach where you'll only invest the time and money realistic for an organisation of your size. It makes achieving robust cyber security achievable at last.

Time and again, we meet small and medium-sized organisations that would have benefitted from implementing the simple foundations of good cyber security – the kinds of things we recommend in our Cyber Security Baseline Assessment.

Cyber criminals have infiltrated businesses encountered by Intersys and caused interruptions and reputational damage because of:

• absence of multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• weak passwords, brute-forced by hackers
• incorrect firewall configurations, leading to CCTV cameras becoming wide open to the internet
• devices lacking critical security updates and spreading viruses across a network
• lack of training, leading to staff clicking on dangerous links 
• reused passwords across multiple websites (a major cause of hacking)
